bacon (mod status in pins)

[spice elk]

it does the same thing chat login does

takes the admin password, adds #login at the beginning, sends it to the chat

genius

[kindred radish]

love this thing lol

[spice elk]

now sitting in the forgotten projects folder next to 500 other things

[kindred radish]

🥺

[woeful torrent]

getting a few reports of loadouts not saving (using GM persistent loadouts), and seeing your "Big loadout!" error message in logs. Does this mean there is still a limitation on saving loadouts that are too big?

[spice elk]

I don't think so. It logs that it occurred but should still have saved it. I'll double check when home. Assuming you on latest version?

[woeful torrent]

can confirm 1.0.11

[spice elk]

should work, return is commented out

it might be invalid for other reasons though, you'd have to test to figure out why/which items

[limpid rivet]

@severe radish

[analog fox]

@spice elk Issue with Server Admin Tools and the "Back" button being grayed out and unusable. v1.0.34. Can't close the panel, have to dump out of game.

[spice elk]

really? you can enter the menu but can't leave?

[analog fox]

yep

[spice elk]

how do I reproduce? what do I do to get this to behave this way?

so I added the mod to a server, logged in as admin via the login box, then opened the menu and the button seems ok

[analog fox]

I believe it is happening only on the first instance after restart.

And I don't have to login (#login) as admin via chat, to have full access to this panel. I just opened it, and everything works. GM rights, ban, and kick.

[spice elk]

not possible, the login panel does the same thing as #login in chat

wait you mean you don't have to login at all?

[analog fox]

Thats right... I added my creds to the config.

[spice elk]

ahh interesting

I'm not sure this is fixable because the admin login given by auto admin features is not the same as the one you get with #login, but I wil investigate

[analog fox]

ok. I'll remove my creds from profile and test that way.

[spice elk]

I would keep them but remove all other mods from the server, it clearly recognizes you as an admin since you can access the panel, but something else might be blocking your input

[analog fox]

I'll setup a test server to check it out.

[spice elk]

in the meantime I can test if the auto admin produces it

[analog fox]

Thanks! Appreciate it.

[spice elk]

yea seems to work

super weird that the game just disables the Back action for ya

[analog fox]

Let me do some more characterization on my test server. Not the first time it has happened, but haven't tested repeatibility either.

[spice elk]

some mods that introduce custom keybinds or something may indirectly do it, I don't think anyone intentionally would turn off only your back button

[torpid gulch]

Issue with not active Back button (ESC by default) is probably linked with search boxes.

How to reproduce:

1. Join server
2. Open admin menu
3. Go to Player List tab (or Ban Tab, whatever)
4. Click in searchbox (mouse click)
5. Select Main Page with mouse

Voila, Back button is not active until reenter into searchbox and disable (esc button) search text that you used before switching tab in Admin Menu.

tested that twice, always 'bug' exist

[spice elk]

Interesting, will look into this over the weekend. I guess focus remains on the search box.

[tawny flame]

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there any way that the radial menu will return?

[spice elk]

#1110586149740748890 message

[quasi cypress]

we love bacon

[crystal stream]

hey Bacon!

I was wondering what settings you used for your GM Fire FX? They seem pretty efficient for particle systems 🙂

[spice elk]

what do you mean? just open it and check

they're pretty similar to vehicle fire

[crystal stream]

like they don't have an impact really on server performance, and I was trying to get away without opening the mod myself 😂 will just look

[spice elk]

particles arent simulated on servers except for smoke grenades for AI visibility

so server probably doesnt care about the fire fx

[crystal stream]

oh interesting, so it's all client based?

[spice elk]

yeah, all particles are clientside and some are optionally simulated on server as well

[crystal stream]

hmm okay, must be some other optimisation I need to look at then as something kills server fps but not local fps when any AI are spawned. My first thought was the area with several engine fire particles but sounds like I can rule that out potentially

[spice elk]

whats the processor the server runs on? how many ai and how many players?

[crystal stream]

1 player and even as little as 30 AI drops the server fps down 40 frames

processor I'm not sure but we have another server on a different map that sticks at 120fps even with 25/30 players and 75 AI

[spice elk]

well then compare processors of both first, in terms of single-thread performance

[crystal stream]

will do!

[spice elk]

there's a chance it's going to be an easy answer once you pull up single thread performance numbers for both, alternatively share the models and I'll get the stats

it's very important you check hardware off the list before doing anything else, because if the issue is hardware then no amount of fiddling with mods and settings gets you out of it

[crystal stream]

think you saved me some time there, switched from our 10 slot test to the 35 slot one we have and it didn't struggle at all

[spice elk]

yay

[formal swallow]

Fireworks have a slight bug, you spawn them and they work fine….until you go a KM and a half away with your character and come back, then they explode in the air again. (Happens whenever you go some distance away and come back)

[spice elk]

wat version of mod?

[formal swallow]

I have it up to date, I’ll get you the version number in one second

1.0.62 for Game Master FX

[spice elk]

ok bet, will add it to the list

[spice elk]

can you give me a description of what do I do to reproduce this?

[formal swallow]

Yes, lemme type it up

[spice elk]

nevermind, got it, sorry!

[analog fox]

Bacon W

[spice elk]

updating now with something that might help, though not sure to what extent

[main matrix]

looking forward to the moment i am confronted with all that proxy/replication stuff

[crimson plover]

i'm not sure if this is related. But on our server since last update we have random fireworks (couple of shots). Also when players enter server and spawn ?

[spice elk]

yes related, see if fixed now

[woeful torrent]

not sure why but some players are still having issues with saved loadouts not saving using GM Persistent Loadouts mod. I know I've reported the issue before, but I have no additional logs for this very rare error. I do run a pve server where players have the ability to carry more than they can in vanilla if that helps at all.

[spice elk]

I think for something like this I will need repro steps 😦

is it a save during the same session or do they leave server and join to get empty loadout?

[woeful torrent]

same session. I will try some troubleshooting on my next days off work in an attempt to replicate it.

[crystal stream]

we saw a thing quite often yesterday actually where dying and respawning didn't give you your saved loadout, you spawned naked instead and had to leave faction and join again for it to spawn you in with the gear

[spice elk]

the loadout is indeed transmitted to you from the server when you select a faction/group on the deploy menu (when you first connect)

[crystal stream]

ahh okay, so it's not expected to be able to select it on respawn?

[spice elk]

when you save it at a box then you have the loadout

[crystal stream]

Yeah I know, normally it would also give you the loadout on a respawn as well but it doesn't seem to all the time

[spice elk]

sometimes loadouts are invalid but I will need repro steps to figure out why

[crystal stream]

Other than having a saved load out and dying I don't have much for you I'm afraid 😅 I'd probably guess it's certain modded items / weapons being used though

But the exact same loadout works fine when it re-initializes via leaving faction and joining again

[sharp wigeon]

Update for GM fx?

[void cradle]

Hey bacon in the mod modern Russian the character's are the detected by the system like unarmed the ammunition it's not a problem because it can be replenish infinite time by the game but anyway I hope this will be fixed soon if you can say it to the author of the mod....

[spice elk]

@boreal trench what exactly are you fixing for the ris laser and suppressors mod? If there is a bug please report it so that I can fix it

[sleek patio]

Hey
We have a slight problem : on our server, vehicles randomly catch fire (and I say randomly because we are not able to figure out what cause it)
and yes base game vehicles
one of our admins claims it comes from Master FX
Is that something somebody else experiments on his server ? Is that a known bug ? (tried to look it up on the discord but didn't find anything)

[spice elk]

all functionality of game master fx requires someone to press a button so I doubt it's this mod

[sleek patio]

I doubt too but i wanted to make sure
still investigating
thanks for your quick reply

[spice elk]

in vanilla game, vehicles catch fire either because someone shoots them or because GM presses the Set on fire button, outside of that I guess you could start removing mods until the issue disappears

[sleek patio]

yeah but finding out that way will take ages as we need at least a full 2-3 hours of playtesting for each mod so we try to find the culprit faster

[spice elk]

I don't have any better ideas, but you could do it by half (remove 50% at a time - if issue disappears problem is within 50% of the mods you removed, then test removing 50% of those etc)

it could get you there faster

[sleek patio]

Yeah I guess we'll end up doing that, good idea

[spice elk]

alternatively you could load up your entire mod list in workbench and try searching for anything related to fire or damage

[void cradle]

Well in the modern Russia mod the guns are like not detected when you put them in a fight they only keep looking at the enemy like if they want to rizz them but seriously they are guns but in the game the characters or units are detected like in a unarmed status so they can't fight or defend....

It's weird but we'll maybe it's something missing because how it's possible to be unarmed when you having a gun? Well that's is possible in this mod... I hope it's will fixed soon....

If they want a screenshot let me know...

[spice elk]

I have not made any mods that have russia in their name

[void cradle]

I know but just let @boreal trench know this bug of his mod to fix it.

[spice elk]

please open the mod you are talking about in workshop and look at who made it, then speak to that person with your bug reports

[void cradle]

Ok

[tropic fog]

@spice elk Is it really Mr Reforger? :0

[real lynx]

Hello, could you make in the arma reforger implement this?:
http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-mbt-recoil/

[spice elk]

I guess so but I'm not going to be making new stuff for a while

[real lynx]

ok, thanks
maybe later

[spring blade]

Hey bacon, Server Admin tools says I need an update to Version 1.0.35 from 1.0.29. Is this one of those “Arma False Updates” or is this an actual update

[pale quail]

Possible the server that you are trying to join has an outdated/non-up to date version?

[spring blade]

Well I’m a server owner and I was just wondering if it actually needs to be updated. Cause I’ve updated things before and it just ruined my game so I went back to previous versions

[pale quail]

It shouldn't have you downgrade the mod by itself....maybe try uninstalling and then reinstall it?

[west pollen]

Newest Server Admin Tools Version is 1 .0.35 its not a Arma Bug

[spice elk]

you are welcome to use an older version if you don't want features that were added in newer versions

[spring blade]

I was just curious if it was just a visual bug or an actual update. What did it change?

[spice elk]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5AAAC70D754245DD-ServerAdminTools/changelog

[spring blade]

I’ll update tonight thanks

[spice elk]

previous and new features are documented here #1094217375978618920 message

[native jetty]

Would you be willing to add an ACOG sight?

[spice elk]

No plans for new content for now

[sterile vessel]

@spice elk Could you check your dms (From my side).

[crystal stream]

Hey @spice elk is there functionality to increase the amount of saved loadouts on GM? Unsure if its in your persistent mod that I'd need to add to or if it's a gamemode config thing

[spice elk]

there are no limits on the number of saved loadouts

[crystal stream]

As in someone can save 2 different load outs?

[spice elk]

one per faction, but no limit on the total number of saved loadouts on the server

[crystal stream]

Is it possible to change that limit of one per faction at all?

[spice elk]

I'm sure it is but haven't looked into it

if you have file-system access you could write yourself something to store and replace the loadouts using a discord bot or something, but probably too much work for something like this

[crystal stream]

Hmm potentially, I'll see if something can be adjusted. I guess theoretically could dupe the loadout 1 and change its names to loadout 2? Or change loadout1 to an array but not sure how you'd then have that in game

Thinking it'd be good for our server as we change scenarios up quite a lot so having multiple saves would be a benefit. Though we could switch up factions I guess too

Wasn't sure if it was an easy modification or not, I'll look at it later

[spice elk]

having a button for it is the toughest part, storage-wise you'd just add -1 -2 -3 to the file names

[mighty mantle]

@spice elk can you make the lasers more powerful and lasery

[spice elk]

Not really, no

[dusk glen]

https://tenor.com/view/laser-eyes-laserlew-laserlewdude-gif-23908015

[mighty mantle]

What if I give you a tater tot

[spice elk]

There's a maximum distance a light can travel in the game and making them brighter would be unrealistic

[mighty mantle]

But my la5 uhp goes 2 miles ::(

It’s ok bacon I understand

What about brighter at night vs day time

[spice elk]

No plans sorry

[tough canyon]

i would recommend using the PEQ-16 from RHS. it is more lasery.

[spice elk]

What does that even mean

[sleek patio]

I guess they want to recreate the "laser combat" like in one of SovietWomble videos x)

[spice elk]

The what

[blazing sentinel]

@spice elk sorry for the ping brother I had a question regarding the recent m110 update it was brought to my attention that Optics aren't saving on loadouts

[spice elk]

wat

does it save but not load or what

[blazing sentinel]

The gun saves however when you respawn the optic disappears off the gun

[spice elk]

Do you know if it's the same thing with the m4 block 2 of mine? Anyway I'll have a look tomorrow

[blazing sentinel]

Truth be told I don't have the m4 block 2 installed

[spice elk]

That's fine. What about a different gun that accepts the optic? Would tell me if it's the optic or the gun

[summer talon]

it doesn’t happen with the block 2, just the m110, and whenever i’ve tried putting optics on from another pack it goes on the handguard on the side instead of where it should be

[spice elk]

The plot thickens. I'll deal with it tomorrow evening.

It does look super funny tho

[summer talon]

it does

[spice elk]

Ok I updated it, see if it works now. Not sure about the arsenal stuff, but I hope optics slot is proper now at least

[spice elk]

is this still an issue?

[blazing sentinel]

Everything is back in pristine condition, thank you for fixing it bacon

[spice elk]

yay!!

[spice elk]

idk if this is useful to anyone but here you go https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5C8AD2767D87626B-DisableFriendlyFire

[barren fable]

call of duty mod

[barren fable]

would this be something you could work into the admin panel? Like have this mod integrated into admin tools and have it as a toggleable setting for admins to use

[spice elk]

there's a toggle in gm under the killfeed (or, well, should be)

[barren fable]

dope

[spice elk]

this mod is basically part of this experiment, originally the plan was to bounce damage back to sender but there were too many exploits to bypass it

one potential addition I am considering is instead of on/off, switch friendly fire between full damage, reduced (20%) damage and no damage

[barren fable]

hah that would be nice, if the team killer has to shoot someone 100 times to kill

There is a lot of cheeky things you could implement to stop team killers. Whatever is a burden to them and whatever wastes there time is the best way to combat it

[icy juniper]

Perfect mod, saves a lot of arguments in some servers

[crystal stream]

bacon, how did you test your safezones in editor? They don't work for me in editor but obviously they do on server

[spice elk]

its because workbench has cheats enabled by default

this probably doesn't mean a whole lot to you but basically workbench overrides some things, damage being one of them

[crystal stream]

ahh okay, so only way to test is on a server or peer tool?

[spice elk]

try starting workbench with -cheats 0 I don't remember the parameter

[heavy creek]

@spice elk Because you were able to add the CCO compatibility, is there any way you could add the grips that both are also in Aussies mod?

[spice elk]

no plans

[spice elk]

@woeful torrent I think you were interested in the reflecting damage a while back, this isn't it, but just 0 friendly fire damage with a GM toggle

[woeful torrent]

Very nice! This only does player damage right, or does it also prevent friendly vehicle fire too? I've had idiots trying to shoot down friendly helis in exp.

[spice elk]

I vaguely remember it checking vehicle damage as well but I haven't extensively tested it, for example even if chassis damage is ignored wheels could be damage-able

[woeful torrent]

Ok Cool, I'll probably throw it on my stable server today and check it out, thanks!

[spice elk]

hope it doesnt explode!

[gloomy urchin]

After the last M249 Scope Rails update I am no longer able to find it in the Vanilla Arsenal, anything changed there? (on non-experimental). Tested with only the mentioned mods and dependencies loaded.

[spice elk]

it was never updated to work with the current arsenal I think, was it?

[gloomy urchin]

Hmm, well it worked last week, and as far as I recall there has been no updates to the main Reforger branch in a long time? Or do you mean that he M249 Scope Rail mod was now updated to only Experimental version?

[spice elk]

ah I must have uploaded some wrong version then

updated it just now, should work

[gloomy urchin]

Thank you!

[gloomy urchin]

Went to check and it works now, thanks again for the quick reply and fix!

[urban fjord]

@spice elk Just a headsup, your server admin tools will not work on the upcoming update.

[spice elk]

ok and? I'm sure a lot of stuff will break

[lucid imp]

Anyone have a picture of bacon tan m4 with GL

[spice elk]

Does this help? Dont have high res

[lucid imp]

Thank you

I’m trying to make it in breakpoint 😭

That’s all I could do in break point unfortunately

[spice elk]

Not bad

[dusk glen]

Should have a picture of bacon on it instead of the birds

[pale quail]

I agree but I think the birds was already textured onto it

[spice elk]

yes not my model, I only textured the ugl (except the red dot sight) and urgi handguard

ill add anime skins for xmas tho

[spice elk]

@sonic schooner to my knowledge Ravage characters have never followed GM orders and it seems intentional, I don't know what people are saying but we've had great fun yesterday with the zombies

[sonic schooner]

You have to spawn them on top of people to get them to see them

Since telling the zombies to start running in a direction doesn't really work correctly

[spice elk]

their visibility is a little short but it has not been an issue for us, you are welcome to create a patch to extend it if it is useful to you, I have no problem spawning them effectively at the range they see at currently without it being jarring to players

[icy juniper]

Set them to aggressive, 90-100% combat movement chance, investigate and hunting (last 2 don't save) but I did this with one squad set to that and one not, the first squad started running at me from around 100m other lot stayed

[spice elk]

What do you mean? The Ravage characters do not use the same AI system vanilla does.

[icy juniper]

With CRX I set those to one team of Ravage characters...and another without with myself around 100m away. The ones I set to those settings started running at me straight away the other team stayed there so must have made a difference

[spice elk]

I don't know how CRX works but I don't think the mod accounts for Ravage AI. In any case I did not make CRX and I did not make Ravage so I don't really know.

But!!!! If it works then great. I've never even considered it.

[icy juniper]

Yeah sorry I was just replying to the above conversation you where having with Trace Snow Owl

[left ore]

what lmao

[spice elk]

Anime skins

[left ore]

I mean yes that would be funny af it's just, came out of left field lmao. also wouldnt it be a problem with the TOS?

[spice elk]

Dang I guess no anime skins

[sleek patio]

😢

So no anime skin but you can have a pair of balls as a weapon grip in A3 ? The world is a strange place

[left ore]

well idk, apparently there's a starwars mod out there so if you're willing to dance on that line

[spice elk]

Oh I'm sure there's some free for use anime themed art online

[left ore]

offbrand anime skins would be hilarious ngl

[spice elk]

no

[orchid frost]

Is this a mod that still needs to be used or did that get fixed on BI’s end? I assume no is the answer already

[spice elk]

I need to get rid of this and a bunch of other temp stuff, in general you should use the mods you want to use, there are no "needed" mods

[orchid frost]

What about like data collector and fast garbage manager? Do those help or should I remove them from my mod server listing?

[spice elk]

they do what they say they do, use them if you want

[orchid frost]

Thing is idk what they do, I assume garbage manager removes stuff faster? Prob wrong.

And data collector I have no clue just heard it helps servers

[spice elk]

they have descriptions but if you are not sure that you want the mod dont use it

[orchid frost]

Oh true lol

[heavy creek]

@spice elk is there any way that the ELCAN Spector optic can be pushed back on the gun? It looks to be way far up

[spice elk]

up as in forward? got a screenshot?

[heavy creek]

Yea I’ll send

This is somewhat of an older picture on the older block 2 mod, but it is the same for the new one

@spice elk

How they’re usually sat

[spice elk]

Gotcha. Unfortunately moving it back will clip into the irons.

[heavy creek]

Got it

[random musk]

Script then to automatically flip down with magnified optics if possible, otherwise just deal with the clipping until you manually flip them, it’s fine that the Elcan blocks iron because it’s a quick detachable scope

[spice elk]

feel free to make a mod with a script to do this

or paste it here and I'll add it

[woeful torrent]

any interest in making this compatible with https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5D915A9DC6EB0856-BenelliM4 ? He must use a custom round Im guessing.

[spice elk]

No idea what other mods do. The friendly fire mod evaluates damage by faction and returns 0, basically. So weapons should be irrelevant.

[woeful torrent]

Interesting, that's the only weapon that's killing people with friendly fire.

[spice elk]

have you considered asking the person that made the weapon?

[sterile vessel]

From modding experience, other mods should make their mods compatible with mods like these. Not the other way around.

Otherwise it becomes a nightmare

If that mod you mentioned breaks, or gets deleted then Bacon's one would be broken, in a sense adding so many dependencies.

[woeful torrent]

Thanks guys I'll reach out to the other author

[woeful torrent]

I figured it might be fixable without a dependency being added, but I haven't looked into it at all. Not until both authors express disinterest will I look into adding an add on patch mod.

[spice elk]

what dependency?

[woeful torrent]

The Benelli m4 mod. I figured out how to add custom vehicles etc without dependencies in scenarios. I guess the need for a dependency depends on what needs to be changed in the mod to make it compatible. I've just reached out to srg so we'll see what he says. If scripting is required for the fix I imagine a dependency would be required.

[spice elk]

you misunderstand what the friendly fire mod does

it sits in the place that calculates damage and returns 0 if the faction of shooter equals to the faction of victim

it does not interact with weapons or ammo or anything like that

[woeful torrent]

I understand that, I don't understand why his mod seems to bypass that, not looked into it yet.

[sterile vessel]

Perhaps it bypasses vanilla damage calculation with it's own

[spice elk]

it's possible that there is a bug that happens in some specific circumstances, I've tested it with vanilla weapons and it seemed to work with all of them

[woeful torrent]

Probably, it has custom rounds

It works fine for custom weapons, all except the shotgun

[sterile vessel]

I have seen some mods do custom round with a raycast impl, and then just setting health changes on the shot entity

[spice elk]

if all guns except 1 work I'm not sure what to tell you man

I would prefer not adding an if statement for that specific weapon to the mod

[sterile vessel]

From the sounds of it, do not bother yourself. You modified the right place and that other mod is probably doing something very wrong

[spice elk]

I should probably test with my shotgun as well

[woeful torrent]

Didn't know you had one, was it the Remington?

[spice elk]

No, it's a komrad 12

[spice elk]

I pushed out an update to Bacon Ravage to enable usage of navmesh for the zombies, which hopefully helps making them get stuck less often.

Also, in case anyone is interested, I ran a little stress test with maxed out AI budgets for zombies against a few squads of AI infantry and measured server performance - running on a Ryzen 7700X the server didn't seem to care: https://snapshots.raintank.io/dashboard/snapshot/wIMhmeW20l4UqHFPibX1KEox59wAj5UP?orgId=2

Image from above stress test

[empty swallow]

It worked like a champ for us w/ a fully maxed out AI pool. Thanks for the updates.

[glass dirge]

I wish mods could be renamed on the server, i wanna slip this onto my server without anyone knowing until 70 zombies rush them

[empty swallow]

lol load it in July.

[glass dirge]

In july?

[empty swallow]

A Joke, like months before you use it.

[spice elk]

If I ever make a zombie mod I'll call it something completely unrelated

[glass dirge]

Ohhhh lmao, thats not a bad idea. Get everyone used to it without actually spawning them

[spice elk]

also on april fools ill give all zombies the ability to open doors without saying anything

[glass dirge]

We engage in a little tomfoolery

[empty swallow]

Make a model with everything transparent besides the hands.

[barren fable]

and change run speed

[spice elk]

Ill make them walk at a very slow pace but have 99999 health

[empty swallow]

Oh Lord. Not like the terminator mod.

[spice elk]

1% chance a zombie spawns with a m249

[spice elk]

Was pathfinding any better than before?

[empty swallow]

They jumped over buses and tracked really well. I have videos of my guys running for their lives.

[spice elk]

Previously they would get stuck sometimes because they just wanted to go forward instead of using navmesh

I think tomorrow I'll change them to run instead of walk when hearing gunshots

[runic tartan]

Hi bacon, I've been a big fan of your mods for a long time, thanks for always making such great, interesting and much-needed stuff! I use your BACON RAVAGE mod for my Survive Arland scenario and everything was fine until yesterday. Unfortunately, infected and exploder zombies do not spawn after yesterday's update was released. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks for your help in advance!

[spice elk]

Post console log from the server, or at least relevant errors

[runic tartan]

Thanks for the quick response. It seems I could fix it by deleting the mod and then reinstalling it. I dont know how to get the consol log from the server.

[spice elk]

Easy fix

[spice elk]

exploder zombies in bacon ravage now blow up when they try to attack you, and like I mentioned yesterday zombies now run instead of walk when investigating gunshots

[analog fox]

Would it be possible to make like 1 in every 10 invisible or something of the like? I think that would be pretty funny

[sullen pilot]

One that’s super fast and screams when in proximity to enemies would be terrifying at night.

[hollow slate]

Is this in your ravage fix mod?

[spice elk]

it's in bacon ravage, I don't know of a ravage fix mod

[hollow slate]

My bad that’s what I meant bacon ravage

[spice elk]

radial menu for lasers will be back after 1.0 update

[sleek patio]

so far have you been able to contact the guy behind ravage ?

or your depencies in general ?

[spice elk]

ravage is the only one, and no it is discontinued

[woeful torrent]

thank you for uploading server admin tools to exp branch! 😎

[spice elk]

wondering if I should implement suppressors heating up and blowing up/falling off after a lot of shots in rapid succession

[sleek patio]

I all for it but I'm kind of the hardcore side of the community, more "casual" players might see it as a problem
if you can make it an option, I think it might be convenient for everyone

[spice elk]

server option maybe yeah, also it'd be hundreds of shots not like 20, and you'd see it glow way before it breaks so you can calm down

[sleek patio]

hundreds of shots ? we have time to see it coming then ^^

[spice elk]

yeah I want it to be more of a detail than something you have to worry about

[sleek patio]

I'd say, go for it then, but tbh in the current situation AIs seem to be buggy when it comes to reacting to suppressed shots, so I always recommend my friends not to use them

[spice elk]

buggy how? don't think I've seen reports about it

[sleek patio]

in my games AIs do not react to fallen allied soldier, even when that happens in front of them, but I think it's a problem coming from the game, not the mod
(plus the fact suppressed weapons make litteraly no noise for the AIs, same as A3, but with A3 the Zeus can manually alert them if needed)

(plus they seem not to react properly to being directly hit by a suppressed shot, this one idk if rpboelm from the game or the mod)

[spice elk]

you're right about not reacting to fallen teammates being a game bug, though there's a range where AI reacts to suppressed shots which extends to 48 meters by default, modders can change it for their weapons

[spice elk]

correct also a game bug - the game assumes that by the time the AI gets shot it knows where you are either by listening to gunfire or seeing you first

they should react to bullet impact though and try to move away from it

[sleek patio]

ok thanks for the info I'll try to test it more about that range they hear suppressed shot

[spice elk]

if you are using any AI mod I would suggest turning them off for a test to see if there's any difference

[sleek patio]

in the games I did they did not, and currently I can't try to get a video of it

[sleek patio]

I don't, otherwise that would be my first guess

[spice elk]

in the code I have bullet impact distance of 12 meters and they should react to it as long as it's fired by an enemy, of course it's possible it's broken

[spice elk]

looks like they only react to it once and then stop oh well

it seems they only react when in SAFE state, and no longer react when in ALERT or DANGER state, perhaps I'll change this

switched it to work when their state is anything other than THREATENED (highest danger level?) and it should only work when they are not engaging a target

[sleek patio]

Soldier that has been shot at once :

[sleek patio]

that would explain it x)

[spice elk]

its a bit of a bummer there's no easy way to switch this from "move away from danger" to "find cover"

[sleek patio]

yeah because they like move for 5 meters, it seems in the global opposite direction from where the shot comes, so basically you can bait them out of cover

[spice elk]

lol I set it to a behavior that has take cover function in it and nothing changes

and I can't debug it because toggling breakpoint in the AI behavior editor on the take cover node crashes workbench

so I guess this is the best I can do for now

[sleek patio]

also

for clarification : AIs seem to not react to being shot at other than running for a few meters, they do not seem to even look in the direction they have been hit from
in the video I showed one AI, but in my test it worked multiple times
only your mod is loaded
they can know where is the shot on them or nearby to run in the opposite direction, but do not even turn and die standing there

maybe for them to take cover they need to fight ? If I shot close enough for the AI to hear my gunshot, they do turn and shoot back

[spice elk]

I will not find out why taking cover doesnt work until workbench stops crashing when I try to debug it

[sleek patio]

seems fair

[vernal summit]

When troubleshooting causes trouble

[boreal trench]

Yo man, i'm having issues downloading the update of the M249 scope rails, any idea?

[sleek patio]

Try deleting the folder and downloading the mod again

[delicate anchor]

Hey @spice elk Are you going to update your effect mod?https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/597706449575D90B-BaconParticles

[spice elk]

Probably not, I will just send you the files later

[woeful torrent]

Should make it like DayZ where it causes frequent jams after heavy use/wear.

But then we would also need a clear jam action

[spice elk]

if it requires animations I'm not doing it

[random musk]

Could just do it as an interaction and leave animating to a “Good Samaritan” down the line

[delicate anchor]

If you want

[spice elk]

It's net positive since you won't need a dependency for it

[delicate anchor]

Yes indeed

[left ore]

probably can just reuse the base game anims. for stuff like reloading and firing "manual"

[spice elk]

again, if it requires any sort of animation work I'm not doing it, at least not until the animation workflow improves

[left ore]

wym?

[random musk]

Using the charging handle/slide rack animation each vanilla gun has would work, but sounds like that counts as animation work to you (I’d agree) so just having an interaction would be fine if you chose to do so

[dusty goblet]

@spice elk will all your mods be reuploaded after the update? Your flashbangs is the one and only thing that we have and one of favs when clearing rooms.

[spice elk]

Probably not immediately after but I am going to do my best to patch at least the most popular ones. So far Server Admin Tools, Suppressors, RIS Lasers and M4 Block 2 are ready.

of course this assumes that the upcoming update does not contain any unknown breaking changes

[dusty goblet]

Will your attachment wheel make its return?

[spice elk]

yes it's already fixed and will deploy with the update

[spice elk]

Weapon mods will be updated when I figure out what to do about AttachmentsCompatibility

[empty swallow]

BaconParticles API 1.0 issue is going to kill off the Zimnitrita map unless they remove their waterfalls. It can't load b\c of it.

[spice elk]

I've already sent the source of the mod to the author of Zimnitrita, so they can implement it without dependencies

[empty swallow]

acknowledged. You're going to need some beer after this weekend. 🙂

[spice elk]

how about right now

[prisma widget]

Need a 5th to?

[spice elk]

@sturdy sedge @finite shadow I've included attachmentscompatibility in my ris lasers and suppressors mod for now, so until attachmentscompatibility is updated OR the classes make it into the vanilla game you can just not use the dependency anymore

[sturdy sedge]

@spice elk thanks love so i can update all my guns 🙂

[spice elk]

it's included in both of the two so you don't have to depend on both or something

[sturdy sedge]

thanks ill get to work then 🙂

[spice elk]

new mod https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE0EA9C49123D87-NoSupplyArsenals

• checkbox in game master will be added sometime later

[spice elk]

why did i make so many mods

[neat flower]

Cause uhhhhhh

[limpid rivet]

Because your amazing, also anyone having issue with permanent bans thou admin tools?

[spice elk]

post more about the issue in https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1094217375978618920

[left ore]

could make a modpack for convenience sake with the server stuff like gm persistent loadouts , server admin tools, GM FX and stuff related yk? would make your life so much easier lol

[quasi cypress]

Bacon: "I'm done making mods"
Also bacon: releases new mods out of the blue, updates old mods

[limpid rivet]

Is trash Manger making a come back too?

[spice elk]

maybe

currently I think entities do not disappear off the floor at all in game master, so the mod will change from "faster" to "actually existing"

[limpid rivet]

Lol maybe maybe not all good thanks we know how it is for you guys with new updated.

[spice elk]

try this https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5D6EDEF57726583D-GMGarbageSystem

[analog fox]

Will we ever see funny vehicles in 1.0?

[spice elk]

no

[spice elk]

the new garbage system only removes items when they are some distance away from players... maybe I can try turning this off so it cleans up spawn points better

[limpid rivet]

copy

also found new bug with the m110 if you dont know about it already

[spice elk]

what is it

[limpid rivet]

i will dm you

[spice elk]

just post it

[limpid rivet]

its a video

[spice elk]

well ok

[formal swallow]

I don’t know if they fixed it, but on experimental helmets didn’t get cleared. Is that no longer a problem?

[limpid rivet]

still a issue

[spice elk]

yeah helmets stay forever

[limpid rivet]

lol

[formal swallow]

Rip

[glacial cove]

Woah

New pfp

[spice elk]

i think its because they have a damage manager and the system doesnt clear them because its not "destroyed"

[formal swallow]

Are these all updated?

[spice elk]

yes

[spice elk]

I can get the helmets to disappear but it would mean disabling their armor

maybe this is helpful for y'all https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE14E8B4FCB759E-HelmetArmorDisable

ok im gonna continue tomorrow, probably

[summer verge]

Good work as always bacon 🫡

[wanton blade]

What exactly does your garbage manager mod do?
I see you override GarbageSystem.conf to add the configurations from conflict, but from what I understood, CampaignGarbageSystem.conf is already applied across game modes (see #reforger_experimental message)

[spice elk]

in retrospect it does nothing because garbage collection doesnt work in game master with the override

I set the player distance to 1, lifetime to 1 and it didnt collect anything

[wanton blade]

Did you override GarbageSystem.conf or CampaignGarbageSystem.conf?

[spice elk]

the former, you think it applies the Campaign one instead?

[wanton blade]

Yes, that's what NiiRoZz told me

[sonic schooner]

Campaign one should only work in Conflict

[spice elk]

oh ok then I can delete the mod

[wanton blade]

It currently is applied everywhere

[spice elk]

yep it works, that seems inconvenient

I think I will update the mod to ignore the player distance, since with the player distance you still have tons of trash on spawn

[wanton blade]

yeah, I hope they eventually give us a way to assign custom ones without the need of overriding the campaign one

[spice elk]

it wont clean up helmets without 5EE14E8B4FCB759E though

[wanton blade]

I know, the arsenals at spawn are always full of helmets 😅

[spice elk]

I think its because of the damage manager on the helmet, it doesnt clean it because the damage manager is not "destroyed"

ok so I've set it up like this to be a bit more aggressive

[wanton blade]

Btw. nice work on the "no supply arsenals". Much better solution than mine 🙂

[spice elk]

it has a gm menu toggle now yay

[spice elk]

idk if y'all find this useful but https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE2A316699473D1-ThirdPersonVehicleOnly

[sleek patio]

Yes ! Thank you

[spice elk]

control building mode in GM https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE2A8E344EB84B6-DisableBuilding

[spice elk]

@forest bough what issue is this mod fixing? https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EC51B48D74F6CB8-GMFXpatch

[dusk glen]

Im surprised it isnt 1st person locked instead

Wonder what use it is to be locked into 3rd

[spice elk]

it only allows third person in vehicles, locks you to first outside of vehicles

[dusk glen]

Oooooh okay I misread it then.

Fair enough then

[spice elk]

I guess better for driving

[forest bough]

Summary
minor tweak to the mod which uses arty feature as arty raid

i made fake arty barrage which doesent damage players and i make smoke arty barrage, also i run it from script but not sure where script is located in that mod or not

[spice elk]

the mod name says patch which suggests it fixes an issue, people are asking me if GMFX is bugged

[forest bough]

to me patch word is not equal to fix, but i am not a native speaker

[spice elk]

like I said people are asking me if my mod is broken

[forest bough]

probably that is because all mods were removed by bis

[spice elk]

I'm pretty sure it's because the mod name says patch since they're the people that told me about this mod

[forest bough]

allright, mister bacon, if you are not happy about it, why couldnt you just ask directly - remove the mod or something

[spice elk]

this may be the easiest way to make this kind of toggle, the only thing that's missing is a way to show notifications with any string message

[spice elk]

I have no issue with the mod existing, just the name seems misleading

[forest bough]

I will make the mod unlisted and make name as some hash value or random letters

Sorry about the people asking

I have made clear summary what mod does and used propper word "patch"

[sleek patio]

The day people will read the descriptions...

[spice elk]

yeah a lot of people don't read descriptions, technically their fault

[forest bough]

frankly i think that was marked either as testing or unlisted for sure, may be i accidently used unlisted feature from the start, despite as far as i know it is not working

I have removed all mentions of any of you mod, changed the name and image, sorry for the people asking something wierd and thank you for you work, you clearly are one of community most experienced modder

[spice elk]

thank you for looking into it I hope I'm not too demanding

[blazing sentinel]

@spice elk sorry for the ping but it looks like the ban or kick features no longer work for administration, might one of your mods be able to fix that? Or would it be better to wait for a patch?

[spice elk]

which ban and kick features? I have tested admin tools kicks and bans and they seemed to work

[blazing sentinel]

Base game, sorry if I wasn't specific

[spice elk]

I don't know about that... I've made the admin tools mod specifically so I don't have to torture myself with vanilla kicks and bans

[blazing sentinel]

Affirmative, thank you for your time and effort into mod development I'll now be using another one of your mods!

[spice elk]

admin tools has a lot of options on top of the ingame interface, there's a full config description here #1094217375978618920 message

[blazing sentinel]

Thank you I'll be sure to read it over completely

[finite shadow]

With your suppressors mod, were you planning on rebuilding your suppressor sfx audio workspace to the new setup on 1.0? I'm noticing a lot of errors and missing connections which can result in audio not playing in some instances?

[spice elk]

the suppressors mod does not do anything to audio workspaces, it only changes signal values in scripts

[finite shadow]

The sound package workspace has the m16a2 shot suppressed, which is throwing audio connection errors, it's what I built my custom sound files from (duplicate)

[spice elk]

you are free to ignore it as it is not a template or a sample

[finite shadow]

Oh righto, so you no longer have it in your suppressor/weapon prefabs firing audio?

[spice elk]

I should get rid of it so it's not misleading folks into thinking it's a template of some sort

sound-wise all the mod does is three signals, up to you what you do with them, but I've already updated a few guns after 1.0 and there were some small changes in the audio projects

seems like there's some small changes in all weapon audio projects in 1.0

[finite shadow]

Mind if I download one of said fixed weapons to take a look in your audio project? Which would you suggest?

[spice elk]

m110 and m17 pistol should be fully working, the parts related to suppressors in the acp havent changed tho

[spice elk]

I will add an actual sample m16 or something to the mod in the morning

[formal swallow]

What’s the keybind on Xbox for the attachment radial menu?

[indigo prism]

Would it be possible to tweak the mod so it only applies to certain vehicles and not all?

[spice elk]

Possible yes but I'm probably not doing it sorry

[sleek patio]

What vehicle can and what vehicle can't be drived in FPP is surely going to change over time and updates, so that would be a nightmare to keep the mod up

[spice elk]

there should be a hint on bottom left corner of the screen when you are carrying a weapon that has an attachment

[formal swallow]

Ah, I’ll have to turn those on when I get on later. I have all hunts disabled😅

[indigo prism]

the only vehicles we need third person in are the RU modded vehicles like the bmp that have no hatch to view out of

[sleek patio]

yeah, no one will ever release a mod where the hatch is missing for fpp driving

[sturdy sedge]

euh the m110 is doing some strange stuff XD

[spice elk]

plz stop using outdated mods

[sturdy sedge]

you joking me right i legit updated everytihng today ,,,

[spice elk]

what version?

[glass dirge]

Do you plan on updating Server admin tools - Overthrow at any point? Overthrow is still in the works for 1.0 so i dont think its 100% good to go yet anyway

[spice elk]

not my mod

[sturdy sedge]

1.0.13

[glass dirge]

My bad, i just assumed it was

[spice elk]

can you show me a screenshot of the inside of the mod folder?

[sturdy sedge]

yea sure

[spice elk]

thank you but I'd like to see a screenshot of the contents of the mod folder, not a screenshot of the resource browser with the mod opened

[sturdy sedge]

sorry what do you need ?

[spice elk]

nevermind, I guess try to redownload it, I can't reproduce the issue

[alpine drum]

Hey bacon are you already aware of the rad menu not staying up on screen dont wanna say something thats already known

[finite shadow]

This is a vanilla issue

[alpine drum]

Ahh ok fair enough

[spice elk]

I got you, fixing it now

[spice elk]

@finite shadow fix is uploading now sorry about that

[finite shadow]

Oh so it's not the same issue as vanilla. My apologies

[gaunt crest]

@spice elk Looking forward to seeing the Barrett M82 back, are you working on it?

[spice elk]

eventually

[gaunt crest]

Cool, the work is appreciated.

[spice elk]

I've been redoing some of the weapon sounds, so far block 2, m17 and some changes to m110, especially the suppressed sounds

[raw canopy]

@spice elk will gm fx be one of the later things you fix/update

[spice elk]

I am not aware of bugs in it

what needs to be fixed?

[raw canopy]

Did you update it after 1.0

Cause I didn't see the mod last time I look in the work shop

[spice elk]

yes sir, here's a list of what I updated so far #1110586149740748890 message

[raw canopy]

Okay I didn't see that thank you

[spice elk]

no problem, still some mods left to do

[hollow slate]

I need the deagle

[orchid frost]

Sorry if it’s been asked but what happened to smoke in GM?

[vernal summit]

It vapourized

[orchid frost]

Huh

[sharp dagger]

It vapourized

[orchid frost]

Oh ok that better explains it

[spice elk]

so smoke is broken?

[sharp wigeon]

Yea

Doesn’t show up in GM (Thanks for supporting your mods like this for so long)

[spice elk]

any smoke?

[sharp wigeon]

Not from my experience

[spice elk]

got it

I'll patch it in a bit

[vernal summit]

Its smoke…and it VAPOURIZED

[spice elk]

I patched the smokes

[limpid rivet]

Thank you game updated today too

[spice elk]

servers not yet tho 😦 steam always updates hours after xbox

[dusk glen]

Cause we bettah sah 😎

[spice elk]

community servers are always not reachable before the update reaches steam

[spice elk]

updated

[orchid frost]

Huh

[gaunt crest]

awesome, thanks men

[orchid frost]

Awesome sauce your the best bacon

[spice elk]

updated

[spice elk]

now I can rest

[silent plaza]

[spice elk]

see you next update

[vernal summit]

Smoke, is similar to vapour…god youre difficult

[orchid frost]

I’m obviously messing with you smart guy

[vernal summit]

I have been bamboozled

[orchid frost]

Yes

[neat flower]

[crystal stream]

think it happened when the GM set off the mine

[spice elk]

Your console.log does not seem like this is a crash

Uploaded a new version let me know if it's any better

[spice elk]

Also you can probably delete the console log from the message as it exposes ip addresses of players

[crystal stream]

Had to delete full message as I'm on mobile atm

It did crash the server though with that error, unsure why it wouldn't be in the server console file but maybe my mate sent the wrong one from the time

[spice elk]

when there's a crash you'll see a crash report in the log at the bottom

[crystal stream]

Hm, maybe it wasn't a full crash then. But it generated a crash log 🤷‍♂️ I wasn't sure what happened as I wasn't on at the time, think the server was maybe stuck rather than full crash report being sent (I guess the crash report exe was stuck or something)

[spice elk]

crash log contains stack traces and optionally crash reasons, like, if your server runs fine but there's an exception it just goes to crash.log as well as console.log

[crystal stream]

Ahh cool, like I say I only have partial info of what happened unfortunately so only relaying what I was told

Hopefully the update fixes the exception though! Occurred when setting the mine off and a lot of people got booted I think

[spice elk]

mine worked better than expected

[empty swallow]

Does saved load outs still work for Combat Op servers? It use to and still does for GM scenarios. But I noticed when my server restarted it doesn't give me the option to select my saved load out since 1.0. Is it just me?

[spice elk]

well the mod is called GM Persistent Loadouts

but it should work in any game mode that has an arsenal manager and loadout saving, though I only test for GM

[empty swallow]

It did work prior. Don't quite understand why it wouldn't now. Maybe it's just me.

[spice elk]

well it's possible something in the game mode has changed

[analog fox]

That ain't bacon that's caaat

[spice elk]

the cat is called bacon

[glass dirge]

Is that your cat or just a random pic?

[spice elk]

It's bonkon's pfp

[wanton blade]

I see he found it for you 😅

[spice elk]

yes I think it's a very good fit for me

[dusty goblet]

Are you going to do hot keys for short cuts for RIS?
Or is there no why to for the game to determine what is what?

[spice elk]

Radial menu is good enough for me

[orchid frost]

Love the fog mod bacon

[spice elk]

Too bad we cant have a slider for it in gm yet

[woven oasis]

You should make the lightning sound realistic if you’re doing weather

[spice elk]

I only wanted fog

[woven oasis]

😞

[spice elk]

I wanted to add a few more weather presets but now workbench crashes when I try to edit the weather so I guess no weather preset mod

[dusk glen]

Foggy Mornings makes it look like Horrors beyond Comprehension are going to spawn

Wouldve been perfect for the zombie mod 😔

[spice elk]

I thought it looked comfy

[spice elk]

spooky, I like the purple around 5:45 AM tho

[left ore]

light hazy, lightly illuminated dawns are incredibly cozy. tho at dawn it's almost a silent hill aesthetic. wish we still had zombies and the blood moon mods to complement to that

[spice elk]

funny you mention silent hill, I made a foggy weather preset with rain drops made smaller and slower to look like ash

[left ore]

ooh that's awesome. if you could make the ash float a little with the wind. or even a wind howl sound with strong wind. would be amazing for silent hills/scp stuff

[spice elk]

maybe one day when we get more control over the weather

[spice elk]

wow I just realized lightning strikes dont emit light

any interest in a weather preset with clouds so low you can walk through them on the everon mountains?

[distant birch]

That'd be really cool

[spice elk]

I think clouds are not synced over network though so everyone might see them in different places? still might have some artistic effect

I wonder if I can use the clouds as ground-level fog

[woeful cipher]

is it possible to make nighttime darker with a mod or can you really only change the look of the weather?

[spice elk]

you can do it with a mod

[woeful cipher]

i will definitely have to look into that, is there any sort of documentation that might tell me how to change it?

[spice elk]

no idea

[spice elk]

ok I somehow saved the mod, will rename Foggy Mornings to Bacon Weather, foggy is separate weather preset now

also enabled godrays

[glass dirge]

Is there any way to have different types of weather in different places on the map? Or is it just one manager for the whole thing

[spice elk]

nope weather is for entire map, but in the future maybe we can do things like put different weather presets in people's faces as they move, so you could change weather from rainy to overcast when you move a longer distance to pretend you came out of the storm

[glass dirge]

Thatd be nice, i do wish BI had an option to transition more gently between rain/overcast/sunny etc rather than "god said stop in the next .01ms"

[spice elk]

godrays

[spice elk]

weather should transition when you toggle simulate weather in gm

New presets:
- Foggy
- Thunderstorm

Changes:
- Enabled Godrays in Clear, Cloudy, Overcast, Foggy presets
- Clear morning has a little bit of fog

thunderstorm is a little useless now since the lightning strikes dont seem to cast any light, but whatever

[orchid frost]

The fog reminds me of Tennessee when I went there for vacation. Loved going out on the porch at 6am to look at the fog while I eat breakfast.

[spice elk]

[orchid frost]

In other words it looks realistic and I love it lol.

[glass dirge]

Im gonna do an early morning flight through the fog once redline's cessna comes out

[spice elk]

the engine has a lot of cool stuff, I didn't include low clouds because they are rendered in front of terrain 😦 and glitchy

[orchid frost]

Do you have your IFR license?

Nah but same I can’t wait also for redline to release all the cool stuff they have planned

[crystal stream]

If you're having a bit of a weather binge bacon, lemme know if you find out if we can change colour of the fog etc as I couldn't work it out

[spice elk]

I think the closest you can get is add fog and change sunlight color, hopefully it colors the fog

[crystal stream]

That also would change everything else that's hit by the light 😔 not sure why there isn't a simple colour for fog 😂

[spice elk]

there is a way in the fog entity I think, just not in weather presets

[fleet grail]

I thought the M1 helmet was removed from arsenals?

[crystal stream]

think I tried that but it didn't appear to do anything

[spice elk]

you probably can't override it for ingame worlds because it's changed inside the world

so if you override it to red, it's still changed to grey in the world in the entity props

[crystal stream]

think i tried changing the colour of the fog haze entity too and that didn't change at all

[woeful cipher]

so this is what moonlight looks like on kunar with your weather mod…

[spring blade]

What is the weather mod called?

[clear stone]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EF5347644A2C501-BaconWeather

[spring blade]

Much appreciated

[spice elk]

Huh, godrays are supposed to be for the sun

[spice elk]

the moon is very bright too which is interesting

I'll fix it after work

[woeful cipher]

not sure if it’s something on your side or kioks because the moon is fine on other maps

[spice elk]

it's the godrays setting, I'll tune it down at night

[spice elk]

I also saw the moon is so bright you can't even see its texture (even without godrays) so I will make it less bright too

[crimson plover]

The fog looks even better then i hoped.
Is it possible to make Overcast and Stormy without the godrays (full overcast) ?

[spice elk]

I will dial it down a bit yea

[spice elk]

@crimson plover @woeful cipher updated, let me know if it's any better

[woeful cipher]

not much better so i think it is something on kioks side

[spice elk]

oh well I tested it on arland and everon, it's possible kunar has different time of day settings

for example I reduced the godray effect for night hours that are on arland and everon, but if you have entered different latitude and longitude for your own world then those day/night hours will be skewed

same thing with fog intensity in the foggy preset, it's adjusted to go up in the morning hours of arland and everon 😦

I will open kunar and double check

[woeful cipher]

yeah i think i remember seeing kiok say something about changing the stars or something on kunar

[spice elk]

I figure custom worlds could use custom presets, because if you drop everon/arland/vanilla time and weather manager it is setup to work for this particular location in the world

[spice elk]

could you show a current version screenshot? and also tell me which weather preset it is

ok! I think I got it

[spice elk]

update number 2 (actually 4)

[woeful cipher]

using version 1.04, still bright but only at certain times of night.

[spice elk]

ah maybe its the month of the year that skews it, I'm surprised the weather preset does not adjust/offset based on day/month of year

I can draw a curve based on time of day for this but it seems it only works well for whatever the default date on arland is, as its no longer valid when daytime hours change etc

in my opinion the system should adjust for this

alternatively I can just return all the vanilla presets to their original state and only keep the two additional presets I made

[formal swallow]

Try “‘new moon”

Hello, I'm doing a mission through Reforger's Tools and when I put the RIS LASER Attachments mod as a dependent, I can't access the servers. The following error appears: group=1 'REPLICATION', reason=8 'JIP_Error'. can anybody help me? It happens with other mods too, like Task Force Mattock, M4A1 Block II, M110 DMR. But there are several others that allow me to access without problems. Looks like it's related to clothing and weapon mods

[spice elk]

I've started a server with nothing except the block 2, m110 and ris laser attachments and I can join, so I don't think one of those three is the issue here

[strong shard]

If I host the mission on my computer I can access it, but someone else cannot

All of these work and allow you to access the server without error. The mission is as "Cohors"

[spice elk]

have a look at the console.log maybe there are some hints there

[strong shard]

Can you tell me where I can look at this console?

I just tested with these mods and it didn't work on a mission I created

[spice elk]

your console log will be in your profile folder

[high roost]

Add the thunderkart back in pretty please 🙏 🥺

[spice elk]

it no work anymore

[mild wolf]

Any chance we can get a slider for the fog to determine how thick or thin the fog level is?

[spice elk]

not possible in the game currently

[pale quail]

Do you know if parachutes would be possible with the current framework of the game?

[glass dirge]

There was someone asking about making them like 2 months ago but i dont think it went anywhere

[spice elk]

definitely, though it would be pretty jank

[pale quail]

Sounds about right lol, it would be cool though if that C130 someone was going to crowdfund works

[orchid frost]

Bacon, you plan on adding tornados in the weather mod? 😂

Make it BF 2042

[pale quail]

I don't know....wondering lost through a blizzard sounds pretty dope

[spice elk]

I want to do snow but cant get rid of rain sound

[pale quail]

oh? I would've thought taking away sounds layers would've been easy since it is just audio.... does it not let you edit them?

[spice elk]

I can either get rid of it globally or not, but I wanted a snow weather preset

[pale quail]

dang...that sucks a bit

[formal swallow]

Do you think we could see fog or clouds like this in the weather mod? Would be rad to see mountain tops sticking above the clouds

[empty swallow]

Just got off work and trying this out. Looks amazing. Thank you

[dusk glen]

Imagine being on top of the Everon mountains and below you is nothing but fog

[spice elk]

not currently, no

[regal bison]

What is that map?

[formal swallow]

I have no clue, it’s a screenshot bacon shared a long while ago

[spice elk]

I was just testing generating trees there it's not a "real" map

[frail dock]

Question, is the safe zones mod updated to 1.0?

[spice elk]

If it shows up in the game it is

[glass dirge]

Youre famous now

[spice elk]

I was already featured in the first ever community radar for reforger. That's all the recognition I could ever want.

[orchid frost]

Bacon is the goat!!!!!

[amber ocean]

He should be in charge of this project

[spice elk]

what I find interesting is why not feature mods that are more popular, there are mods that are used by over 70% of modded servers but have never been featured

[strong shard]

IReplication::JIPError: Inconsistent item table on Slave connection. Item is missing or different item was loaded in its place. (I have no idea what it means.)

[spice elk]

it means that one or more of the mods you are using is probably not fully compatible with multiplayer

[strong shard]

So RIS LASER ATTACHMENTS isn't it? Well I tested with it, Suppressors and M4A1 mods

[spice elk]

I cannot reproduce this issue with any of my mods

[strong shard]

[spice elk]

I loaded them all on a server and it was fine

[strong shard]

If I host it on my computer, it works. But for someone else to access it, it gives an error. This is in a mission made by tools and uploaded to the Workshop

[spice elk]

the mission is also a mod

[strong shard]

The mods work fine in SP or create server in game.

[spice elk]

I said not fully compatible with multiplayer, so sp is irrelevant

[strong shard]

When I create a dedicated server on my PC, this happens with just a few mods

[spice elk]

people often figure out which mod it is by removing them one at a time, try switching to vanilla game master with the same mods etc

[strong shard]

I understand, in any case, thank you very much for your attention.

[spice elk]

the replication error you got only says what type of issue it is but does not give you any clues where to look

it might be something silly like one or more entities in your world/mission are missing RplComponent

[strong shard]

I don't believe it's a problem with the mission, as there are only a few specific mods that are giving this error...

I was checking the log and the best I could get was this:

[spice elk]

your mission is also a mod, the problem comes from a mod, so, check your mods

[spice elk]

can you share console.log from server and client via dm?

[strong shard]

Yes, the one I sent was from the other day, but I can redo the tests and send you an updated version. I'll reproduce it and I'll send it to you later

[spring blade]

Hey bacon, just wanted to check in and ask. The RIS laser, did it get an update or is the game bugging? Cause I remember when it would give false updates and just ruin the server

[glass dirge]

My server started up fine after updating just now, havent updated client yet

[spice elk]

it did! I made the reticles a bit darker in the collimated optics

[urban fjord]

Seems there is a little lag info from Admin tools server fps and game FPS... Just a FYI

[spice elk]

isnt there a note on this exact screen that says it updates with your update interval setting?

[urban fjord]

Nope, it says "This page has some statisctics from the server" ...

[spice elk]

you don't see this note?

[urban fjord]

There we go! Cheers mate! Just need to put my fu. glasses on! Cheers!!

[spice elk]

in the future consider reporting issues for this mod in https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1094217375978618920

[sturdy sedge]

hey bacon , i got an issue the nonly gun i cant seem to use in my mod is the m110 i can buy or sell it even after making new overrides and readding them to the shops , they dont wanna spawn got any idea all other weapon works on the m110 wont allow it

[spice elk]

ask the person that made the shop to tell me what the problem is

if it's on my end I can try to fix it but I need specifics

[sturdy sedge]

strange thing is in WB it loads fine , but as soon as i put it on live server it renames them to WEAPON and shows the normal m16

[spice elk]

specifics, please

the person that made the shop will know why this is

[lone dune]

Mods like Persistent Loadouts and Admin tools that everyone uses are really boring; no pretty screenshot/video to showcase. It's just quality of life features that should have been in the game to begin with.

[spice elk]

No but suppressors and laser attachments are dope. That said those quality of life features seem to be useful to the community so they could also qualify.

[native jetty]

I'm sure this is a big leap.., but in regards to your weather mod, do you think snow may be possible in the future?

[spice elk]

hopefully

[broken zodiac]

@spice elk is it theoretically possible to make a mod which won’t allow destructed materials (blown up wall) to disappear after a few second. Maybe disappear after a couple minutes, half an hour, an hour or not at all? If so how laggy could that get and at what server scale?

[spice elk]

I honestly don't know

[broken zodiac]

Is that something you would look into at some point or nah?

[spice elk]

I know right now it's not feasible, so hoping for the future

[broken zodiac]

Ah dang, one more question, I remember you made a “MOAB” which when exploded cleared out everything but the ground in the area of effect. Is that something you plan/would bring to your GMFX mod? Such as a small, medium, large, huge size for destruction but no boom just makes stuff disappear?

[spice elk]

The area cleanup was a mightmare to code for multiplayer so I stopped working on it

@wanton blade @timber parcel do you think its better to use percentages for balancing teams?

[timber parcel]

As far as I know, most games simply count the number of players. It would be very cool if in missionHeader or in some other config it would be possible to specify the balance method and the amount of balance (for example, players or percentage)

I hope everything is clear, I just use Google translator))

[wanton blade]

Since mission headers do not work when the scenario gets reloaded, it's not really an option.

[spice elk]

I can save the setting serverside in a file, and youd adjust it in gm

[timber parcel]

If that's really the case then yes

[wanton blade]

see https://feedback.bistudio.com/T172515

[spice elk]

did you test this with classes that are not modded? for example with settings for SCR_MissionHeaderCampaign

[wanton blade]

Yes, I have the same issue with derived mission headers for scenarios.

[spice elk]

so for example adjusting m_iStartingHQSupplies in missionheader doesnt do anything?

[wanton blade]

I didn't test SCR_MissionHeaderCampaign. I had, for instance, a respawn ticket count for my escape game mode, which got reset to default whenever the scenario relaoded.

And it was realized with a derived class rather than modded

So I would presume that SCR_MissionHeaderCampaign has the same issue, but feel free to check it

[spice elk]

ok so it indeed looks like it's ignored when you do #restart, it only works once

I wanted to see if it had anything to do with modded vs derived classes just in case

[wanton blade]

I actually found the issues when working with derived. Modded was just more convenient for the test mod.

x being total number of players and y the maximum difference in players when set to +5% max.

I think this makes percentages more appealing than a fixed difference.

[spice elk]

could do something like minimum 2 maximum 5% whichever is greater

or maybe minimum 1

[wanton blade]

I think if you want minimum 2, the percentages aren't really worth as an additional condition

[spice elk]

lol yeah, maybe when we can run high pop servers

[wanton blade]

actually it's sometimes more than +5%, since I round to the nearest integer

[spice elk]

ok right

[wanton blade]

This is now with floor such that it truly never exceeds +5%

[wanton blade]

I would go with the first implementation with rounding. The floor implementation is more complicated and it is impossible to prevent above +5% anyway for low and uneven player counts.

[snow kettle]

Yeaaahhh that and a intense lighting storm would be so cool

[spice elk]

the thunderstorm preset has lightning happening more often, but the lightning effects are quite weak in the game right now

[snow kettle]

Yeah you did great tho i really like the distance rumbles im sure at some point we’ll have it

[hollow slate]

Hey @spice elk was thinking even numbers up to 10 for the balancer that maybe could be selected in it’s mod file or something similar etc

2,4,6,8,10 type of deal

[spice elk]

it becomes a bit of an issue when you have a lot of players, because when you have 80 slots and get 45 people in us and 35 in soviet teams then those teams are locked because you cant change mid-play

with a 2 player difference the max difference would be 41 vs 39 when your server is full

I can add a setting for it anyway, probably, currently in GM you can disable the restriction completely

[empty swallow]

Not sure if it was the game update or what but saved load outs for Combat Ops seems to be working again.

[spice elk]

you're welcome

[spice elk]

all my mods in the pins now, their names at least

[boreal trench]

@spice elk I’m very sorry if it has been answered already. I’m using the server admin tools however I’m not sure whether it supports persistence and how to eventually activate it. I tried to go through your documentation but it’s a bit confusing for me. Would you, or anyone else, be able to clarify these points?

[spice elk]

where does it say it supports persistence? also what persistence?

[boreal trench]

Mine was a question because I’m not sure 😊 with persistence I mean not losing mission/campaign progress when the server is restarted. I was wondering if your tool serves this purpose too given that I was not able to understand it on my own 😊

[spice elk]

here's a description of all the configuration values #1094217375978618920 message

[boreal trench]

Thank you bacon, I did look at that page before posting. I wasn’t able to determine an answer there, it’s a little bit over the threshold of the knowledge I possess. Specifically I don’t know if the stats file is what would be used to achieve what I need (together with event API maybe?) or not

[spice elk]

don't take this the wrong way but the mod may not be for you

[boreal trench]

Possibly 😊 I was trying to see if I could get a bit more of insight before giving up

[nocturne niche]

Dear @spice elk, I looked at your wonderful mod for fog and thunderstorms! After the Kunar Region map was finalized (I think for now), the idea arose to make several scenarios or missions on our server. But there is one problem - I don’t have enough sand storm. All this leads me to ask you, can you make a sandstorm for the game? I think a large number of the game community will be very grateful to you!

[spice elk]

Not with the current weather system

[nocturne niche]

Sadly(

When will the mod be updated to 1.0?

[spice elk]

never, DM me and I'll just send you the assets

[broken zodiac]

@spice elk what ever happened to your drone project?

[spice elk]

discontinued

[broken zodiac]

Dang, why’s that? Would it be multiplayer synchronization issues?

[spice elk]

it's discontinued because I decided not to work on it anymore

[broken zodiac]

Oh lmao was a cool idea tho

[wanton blade]

It's understandable. When you have a lot of projects going on, you eventually have to decide, which one you want to focus on. Too many projects isn't just viable in the long run. I see that myself 😅

[spice elk]

this one was a waste of time, the engine and tools are not ready for things like this yet

[spice elk]

fixed GM Persistent Loadouts for 1.0.0.70

[pale coral]

Was good enough to keep me satisfied for a week😭

I remember destroying all the windows on the houses and flying through them

[dusk glen]

Now with Huey you can make giant drone

[spice elk]

the drones were not vehicles, but yes

[orchid frost]

What got fixed in the gm effects update?

[spice elk]

Nothing

[orchid frost]

Did you add the Santa sleigh 😂

[spice elk]

Absolutely not

Definitely did not add anything else as well

[orchid frost]

Wait what is the second thing? I see the Santa sleigh but don’t see anything else or am I tripping

[spice elk]

There definitely isnt anything at the end of the systems section

[orchid frost]

Hmmmm

[pale coral]

The gun...
Very powerful for such bullet

[karmic garden]

It’s using the wrong type of ammo

[spice elk]

should be correct, the shells coming out is just something I forgot to get rid of, might fix it tomorrow or never

No it’s firing elite darts it should be firing mega darts. https://nerf.fandom.com/wiki/Mega_Dart_(N-Strike_Mega)

Hahahaha no way

[spice elk]

Damn I better pull it outta the workshop this is embarrassing

@spice elk will you be adding the door funny to the clumsy characters mod?

[spice elk]

possibly once I figure out an issue

[dusk glen]

https://tenor.com/view/dammit-cant-open-fail-fall-embarrassing-gif-12687308

[wet geode]

Okay thank you

[orchid frost]

Hey is the clumsy mod not working for other ppl? I’ve been trying to run into walls and doors and etc but I cant fall

[spice elk]

Even when sprinting?

[orchid frost]

Yeah I primarily only tired it sprinting

I also used AI character, I dropped the gun and had one time I used the gun, tried letting the door hit me but it never made my character fall

[spice elk]

It needs to be a player character

[orchid frost]

I used the player character also

[spice elk]

ummm maybe you are not clumsy enough

[potent venture]

Is there a large nuke-like explosion if two players run into eachother

[spice elk]

nah your game crashes

[spice elk]

random chance of going to the shadow realm is not intentional

[silent plaza]

Hey bacon, I’m not too sure if this is related to you or not but I have your server admin tools installed on my server and I’m having issues kicking people or banning people I go in the admin tools and click the ban or kick button and nothing happens but if I do it multiple times it will freeze my server and reset it

[lunar pecan]

Bacon since you got that weather mod, do you think it'd be possible to make a darker nights mod that just grabs the values of the older AR versions with dark nights as well ? Judging by how many want the old nights back, I'm sure it'd see some use.

Would be cool for screenshots as well, the nights just aren't the same.

[spice elk]

I'm sure it's possible

[ripe delta]

Yesh old nights was so much better then now

[lunar pecan]

Obviously, just thought it would maybe be a good idea since you already improved the weather. I don't want to request though, I know how that comes across. Anyway, over and out.

[spice elk]

I forgot what the fix for this was

[tawny flame]

Just want to say thank you for your hard work. These new weather presets are awesome

[empty swallow]

Can't you just toggle the night brightness in the Game Master options? It's at the bottom of the world settings. Goes back to the vanilla night version.

[spice elk]

huh I don't remember seeing this one, is it available on a server as well?

naw the option is for Global Brighter Night

[ripe delta]

Its disabled on start we ment that they changed the night even if the brighter mode is disabled it still much brighter than befor the update

[empty swallow]

Ah. Okay. 🌚

Honestly, I was in an offical conflict with BI badged players and they even GMed put the moon out because people complained about how dark it was. Obviously no NVGs in those server. I guess I just assumed toggling that Global Brighter night and setting a New Moon as dark enough. But than again, my monitor might be the problem. 🤷‍♂️

The weather mod is 133t either way.

[nimble sluice]

I agree that many people would really appreciate a mod that returns nights to their previous glory

And bacon weather is indeed very 1337

[real igloo]

Yeah, definitely would like dark nights.

[potent venture]

I miss when night time was just pitch black

[ancient hill]

Dark nights with a nice lit moon would be amazing

[glass dirge]

BI shouldve made the current bright ass night as the "bright nights" setting and left the old dark ones as optional

[vernal summit]

Nights are rarely pitch black tho

[potent venture]

Yes and no they usually are pitch black for awhile until your eyes adjust then it becomes much more visible so if they really wanted to be realistic have it where if you wait like 5 min without using flashlights or nvg then it adjusts to how the nights are in-game but if you enter buildings or use lights then it resets but idk how hard that would be

[bold furnace]

If you go to places where there are no artificial lights, you can find nights are really pitch black.

[timber parcel]

@spice elk, hello. I have been using your modifications on my server for a long time and they help a lot both in balancing the current conflict mode and in administration.

Please tell me if there is a modification (and if not, how difficult it will be for you to make it) that increases the time it takes for players to appear at defend bases when captured.

I will describe the problem: for example, we have a point in the game that I want to attack and which can greatly affect the course of the game. But I, as a player, am faced with a problem when the enemy sees that I am capturing this point, presses respawn on it and begins to appear endlessly. As a solution to this problem, I see simply increasing the spawn time to one to two minutes for the defending side.

I would be very grateful if you can tell me something about this moment. Thank you)

||apologize in advance for the ping||

[spice elk]

I don't think there is a mod for this, the way I would deal with this is not allow bases to be spawned on when they are under attack so support needs to come from somewhere else

[timber parcel]

Understood, thanks

[mighty mantle]

Lord bacon do you know your radial menu doesn’t work with rhs?

[dusty goblet]

@spice elk are you going to implement animations or the clumsy mod to the flashbangs?

[spice elk]

no

[spice elk]

how do i reproduce?

[mighty mantle]

Just run rhs with any of your attachment mods

[spice elk]

so I run rhs, pick up my m4 urgi from the arsenal box and try to use my menu?

[mighty mantle]

Yeah

At least on controller

I’ll dm clip

[spice elk]

best I can do is let the rhs guys know

[distant birch]

When a man and a woman love each other...

[crimson plover]

Bacon is it possible to make the Red and White flare volume less bright ? (or, the flare spawn higher ? Would also make it less bright on ground)

[nimble sluice]

The current brightness and height couldn't be much more realistic tbh

[spice elk]

the maximum radius of the light is capped in engine so if I move it up it will illuminate a smaller area

like, not just be darker but the light will cut out sooner, I wanted to maximize the area

[meager forge]

I was thinking the same

[spice elk]

you can move it around as the game master though, just move it up lol

I would like to make it have a lil bigger radius and then I would move it up a bit

[crimson plover]

It's a little buggy when moving it up. The first 50 meters are no problem, after that it jumps to a way too high height.

[spice elk]

when spawned it will position itself and then you can try moving it afterward, or you can try spawning it higher instead of moving it

[crimson plover]

Realistic ? Maybe i should bring some screenshots.

[nimble sluice]

Indeed

[crimson plover]

i try that , spawning it higher.

[spice elk]

I dont know if it calculates height above terrain when spawning, if it doesnt then it will just go 50 meters or whatever above your spawn position

[nimble sluice]

ILUM will make you believe the sun just came up

[spice elk]

man they need to add rtx to the game

[nimble sluice]

Would be funny if there was a chance for the wind to drive it to your friendlies and illuminate yourself 🐛

[mild valve]

ngl yall talking about adding rtx to the game and stuff, yet i remember when i had to play with a i5 8th gen in SP with like 70 AI (it was a pain that caused me to switch to a i7 10th gen)

[spice elk]

yea I would buy a rtx 4090 if this game had rtx

[mild valve]

buy the 3090 4090 is a bit ehhhhhhhhh

[nimble sluice]

I miss playing with no more than 42 players, 700 mods and 25-30 fps

[spice elk]

I have a 3080 rn doesnt make sense to buy a 3090

[mild valve]

i mean

[sleek patio]

4090 is pricey because of data miners
buy 4070 : almost as powerful but way cheaper, that's what I have

[spice elk]

ok, I will still buy a 4090 if this game gets rtx thanks

[sleek patio]

as you want, your wallet not mine ^^ but maybe by the time that game gets RTX, there will be 5090 available x)

[spice elk]

right then probably the 5090 or whatever makes sense for me at that point, when I want gpu buying advice I'll ask for it

[urban fjord]

The Balanced Mod, is that just automaticy working when loaded in the json.config , or do I need to use GM to get it to work?

[spice elk]

It starts enabled, but I only tested it in conflict

[misty hinge]

What happened to the ai driving mod that was a great mod

[spice elk]

ded

[misty hinge]

What is that supposed to mean 🤣

[empty trellis]

It means we need bacon to create a full suite mod with zombies and monsters ❤️

[spice elk]

I'd love to do it if I ever have the time

[spring blade]

Mod creators cannot accept payment for mods as it violates BI tos

if time depends on the observer I will just stop observing and time will not move forward

[left ore]

exactly! set all your clocks back a day and you're set

[loud sequoia]

#creators_recruiting - please do NOT post this sort of request in the existing modding channels....

[spice elk]

I don't do requests, sorry

[spring vapor]

What’s new in the gm fx?

[pale coral]

Nothing

[spring vapor]

Cool

[spice elk]

definitely not a new hat

[cedar prism]

How do u just sit down wherever u want?

[left ore]

it's a mod called bon's animations

Hi mate. Iam getting this issue alot (there is about 1.800 players Loadout that have been saved)

21:29:43.959 SCRIPT : GMPersistentLoadouts | SCR_ArsenalManagerComponent.GMPersistentLoadouts_LoadLoadout | Loaded loadout: identity 71caeb40-a755-447d-8e32-e73b1255a7af, faction key USSR, loadout size: 9873

21:29:47.905 BACKEND (E): JsonApi - All buffers are depleted!

21:29:47.906 BACKEND (E): ProcessPack() :: Cannot allocate buffer !!!

21:29:47.906 BACKEND (E): JsonApi - All buffers are depleted!

21:29:47.906 BACKEND (E): ProcessPack() :: Cannot allocate buffer !!!

21:29:47.906 ENGINE (F): Crashed

[spice elk]

JsonApi is not related to GM Persistent Loadouts

[urban fjord]

Thats Strange as it comes into effect just after a loadout is being loaded… do you have any clue of what the JSON.ApI could be?

[spice elk]

there's 4 seconds between the loadout being loaded and your jsonapi error, I can't see how they are related

if you have more than 64 player slots on your server you will see JsonApi running out of buffer space until BI fixes it, it was supposed to be fixed with 1.0 I think

[severe olive]

Could we see cluster bombs and napalm added to gm FX?

[spice elk]

I have no plans for more effects in the mod, maybe aside a bigger explosion once environment can be destroyed

napalm doesnt make much sense when you cant set anything on fire in the game

[pale coral]

I get a supply point find the place called "loiter" and once in that pose I gmtp to my desired location

[spice elk]

I guess an update to game master fx broke today so you may need to delete the mod to download the latest version

[ebon mesa]

Hey do you have a roadmap that’s accessible to the community?

[severe olive]

The only other thing I would of liked to see is smoke shells to provide cover for infantry, I understand the napalm stuff not being able to set stuff on fire but putting an entire Forrest on fire or cluster bombing towns would be fun as a gamemaster for a milsim

[spice elk]

I don't really have any roadmaps

[ebon mesa]

I was bamboozled lmfao

[glass dirge]

So will all servers/clients need to delete+redownload GM FX using the workshop GUID in order to update properly?

[spice elk]

no idea, I had to delete it in my game to update it

[spring blade]

I didn’t have to but my buddy did on my server. I didn’t have issues on either one of my servers

[spice elk]

oh ok I got paranoid

[spring blade]

What did it add tho?

[spice elk]

the changes are only for secrets

[left ore]

what?! gm fx has Easter eggs?!

[spice elk]

no, definitely not

[left ore]

ah I see. nothing to see here

[low seal]

Cluster bombs could be pretty cool

[wind steppe]

This may seem like an odd request, but do you happen to have any plans to make an invisible barrier that can be utilized to keep AI from leaving certain rooms? So when a GM is hosting a hostage rescue/HVT scenario, they’d remain in a cell? Granted they’d run around in circles.

[spice elk]

I have no plans for anything

[left ore]

maybe you'd like to check out CRX infusion for that.

[wind steppe]

Just discovered the A.I. holding movement feature. I'm a very happy person.

[left ore]

it is a great mod! edit: o wow I just realized that it was you on their thread lmao. I am going down the threads I'm most active on in order lol

[glass dirge]

So does "remove budgets" mod allow you to place infinitely until the server physically cant handle it

[spice elk]

Eh no it just makes the budgets * 100 but if you fill those up and you're still running record a clip and I'll raise it

My 7950 couldn't really do it sensibly

[nimble sluice]

After using the attachment radial menu to turn on or off an attachment the controller radial GM context menus become unusable, they lack their options entirely, that goes for the order menu aswell. The context menu is fully functional when using mouse and keyboard however.

[nimble sluice]

Here's a clip
https://www.xbox.com/play/media/ZvKzULUTaa

[spice elk]

can you try to reproduce this with only ris lasers and lets say m4 block 2? no other mods installed

[spice elk]

@dry saddle yes it will, although Conflict already crosses all the limits and it seems to be "fine"

in general the mod is aimed at those that want to push things to overdrive or just want to not be blocked from spawning things in conflict

[dry saddle]

That’s espectacular! Can’t wait to see it in diff servers

[spice elk]

I mean it's not really very efficient to have 500 vehicles and stuff but don't let that stop you

[nimble sluice]

That server doesn't have RHS installed

[spice elk]

I would like to rule out all other mods

[nimble sluice]

Gotcha, I'll test that once I get on

[spice elk]

Thank you

[nimble sluice]

Clips are uploading now
These are the mods that remained on the server, plus RHS on the 1m video

Without RHS
https://www.xbox.com/play/media/vhumKqvfiA

With RHS (your radial menu doesn't work at all because of their mod)
https://www.xbox.com/play/media/28ZqMWhTyt

Why's there dutch in the second clip tho lmao

[wanton blade]

Did you try to rebind the radial menu, since the default keybind is conflicting with RHS laser/light keybind.

[nimble sluice]

That's not the issue there, just wanted to explain why the radial menu didn't pop up
And I'm not rebinding something that a mod breaks and should fix tbh

[pale coral]

What's new with the zu23

[nimble sluice]

@mods plz pin

[spice elk]

hmm ok I will investigate as you have not repro'd it the way I need

[spice elk]

there should be a changelog

[nimble sluice]

Oh, what else did you need?

Ohh, just the M4 installed. Must've missed that part. Sorry

[spice elk]

no its ok dont worry about it I'll look into it in a bit, does the GM menu work without any mods? is it only on server?

[nimble sluice]

It does work in general until you use the/open the radial menu. This also occurs when in a single player GM session

[spice elk]

oh if it breaks in SP as well thats easier to look into thanks

[urban fjord]

Hi mate. Is there a “quick” way to change the Team Balance mod to +5 instead of +2?

[spice elk]

no

[spice elk]

was his on an xbox or a pc with a controller?

[spice elk]

can you try to open the command menu (the one with the salute emote) on a controller, and then go into GM and try to open the GM radial menu? without mods

once I open the commanding menu the GM radial stops working in vanilla

so it may not be a mod problem

[nimble sluice]

Xbox with controller

[nimble sluice]

Will do

[left ore]

it is a vanilla issue. been there since the 1.0 experimental

[spice elk]

ah ok so nothing I can fix

[nimble sluice]

Jup, same here. I find it very interesting that somehow yours breaks it too though. A huge shame though.

[spice elk]

I use the commanding menu as a template for the radial

[glass dirge]

I believe any mod that adds a radial menu will cause this issue with the default one

[spice elk]

the commanding menu is easy to build your own radials with

[left ore]

as far as I know it is a issue with the command menu in particular. the RHS menu does break the radial on GM for some reason

[prisma birch]

What is this 😂😂😂

[pale coral]

A present from Zanta clauZe

[prisma birch]

That’s the greatest thing ever

[pale coral]

Check dms

[sick gull]

bring on the christmas cheer through 100 mph impacts

[glass dirge]

It seems that running RIS Laser Attachments and RHS together, and then using RHS's PATROL-IR Thermal Monocular, causes the GM Radial Menu to become blank and unusable. I have no idea why but you can repro by running them together, attaching the PATROL-IR to an RHS helmet and activating it. Going into GM after that will result in a blank radial menu. This is on Xbox, not sure about PC

[spice elk]

the GM radial becomes unusable for me when I use the commanding menu without any mods, so there's not really much I can do about it

[distant birch]

What did you use to make your server?

[pale coral]

I believe that's bacon's servers

Especially with how easy it seems to put mods on it

[distant birch]

Ah okay

I've been trying to find an easy way to make a server without spending 13 hours putting a single mod in.

Does anyone know a way to do that?

[nimble sluice]

Bacon's server service, however I'm just an admin not the server owner. But insanely well put together, very accessible and honestly fun to use.

[spring blade]

Bacon has a server service?

[spice elk]

surprise! dm me if interested
