[broken ridge]

Hi good morning, (if you slept lmao...) with out RHS we cant seem to find any good laser attachments, any shot you can enhance you lasers, so that aside from hip accuracy, it can be used for teem coordination?

[spice elk]

I like my lasers not being batsignal searchlights so I will probably keep the light cone small even if it's less realistic

you are welcome to make your own version that produces more light

[broken ridge]

true, what about a second option, not batsignal..but maybe medium?

[spice elk]

you can tweak the radius and intensity in the light entity that is a child in the attachment prefab, and the light entity manager component on the parent

[broken ridge]

Right...lmao...

[spice elk]

@ivory scarab maybe you missed it but this dude is looking into it #1110586149740748890 message

[spare magnet]

@ivory scarab refund and consuming from arsenal attached resource component already in. Havent touched the loadouts yet though.

[ivory scarab]

Thanks

[spare magnet]

dont mind the colors, its gonna be black or white

[ivory scarab]

does it show how much supply is dedicated to arsenal?

[spare magnet]

it does display on buy, I havent setup a widget yet

[ivory scarab]

gotcha

Good Job bro

[spare magnet]

@ivory scarab

[ivory scarab]

thats perfect

[spice elk]

this is coming along nicely

[oak parrot]

@spice elk the gm loadouts work prefect dude, here’s my attempt at army ranger squad from 2008, thank you so much

[spice elk]

bet, game masters have already caught me off guard with them a few times - they dressed up enemies similar to players and I didnt shoot them until it was too late

[oak parrot]

lol ya, this definitely saves gms time setting up ai kits and also saves mod space without having to download a dozen or so custom factions or faction reskins

[ivory scarab]

I wish other modders were open to this kinda collab more often to make the overall experience better

[quasi pendant]

Wait is this a new update you can make custom squads?

[spice elk]

there's 10 loadout slots for admins to create that game masters can then use on any AI character (from the GM mode)

[quasi pendant]

So you can apply loadouts from GM?

[spice elk]

#enf_showroom message

[quasi pendant]

What have you done 💀you’ve made it super easy to make the enemy dress up as friendlies

[spice elk]

yes that was the idea

[steel quest]

@spice elk hey mate what would be the chances of getting some camo colours to the m110 snipers or being old to change the colours of each peace of the weapons like the m4 version you have.

[spice elk]

pretty big when I have a couple weekends of time to bake out the textures

[steel quest]

Ok mate. Love to see it in the future

[spice elk]

I would love to do a bit more than just swapping out the parts for the tan/black versions

[low sluice]

Where is that peq device from? Which mod?

[oak parrot]

Sierra golf

[regal bison]

Which mod has that ucp

[oak parrot]

Wargrooving clothing mod

The newest one

[regal bison]

Thanks

[low sluice]

Stary armory also has

[dusk glen]

It looks too bright . Maybe for a winter map

[magic smelt]

bacon did you make the zombie mod

[sharp wigeon]

No, no bacon did not.

[worldly lintel]

@spice elk love the Gm load out thing u made helped me get some great photos

[spice elk]

yay!!!!

[oblique fjord]

What does gm loadout do Just give you extra loadout slots if you have gm rights

[main dome]

You make loadouts and put them on AI

[spice elk]

dis #enf_showroom message

[sharp wigeon]

What mod has the CH-47?

[pale coral]

Kunar

[plucky copper]

It's a static prop on kunar. For mission objectives. Marked by "?" On the map and in gm

[sharp wigeon]

Thanks

[glad stump]

Any chance to attend a live stream when you do so ? would love to watch it to learn more about texturing and how you process to have this quality

[spice elk]

absolutely

as you can see here #enfusion_texture message all the M4 parts are loaded into painter as one project with udims and I am exporting the masks to assemble in the multi material in engine later (so I can take tiger stripe + some camo and make a skin)

[finite shadow]

I need to sit down and look at this stuff closer to make my 240 modular using your system, that and learning udim etc

[spice elk]

the Painter project exports 345 textures, a python script moves and renames those to the Workbench project, then I assemble them in the materials and run another python script before uploading to Workshop that removes all textures that are not used from the project

you can get an idea how the layering works here (in case you dont have experience with mat pbr multi)

[glad stump]

Would be awesome thanks ! Yeah I saw about that in textures maker, very interesting way I'd like to know more on how to achieve this

[pale coral]

how do ai react to seeing when in gas? do they take it like its smoke or do they engage like nothings there?

[spice elk]

it should block like smoke

[pale coral]

sweet

[sacred lagoon]

Does anyone know the controls for the parachute?

[pale coral]

a

cmon its not hard its the exact same for 99% of all games

[sharp dagger]

In left 4 dead it’s tilde

[sacred lagoon]

I know how to deploy it, how do you control it? I keep ragdolling.

[pale coral]

skill issue then because that message i said applies

[rough laurel]

If you're jumping out of a helicopter, make sure it's not going anything above 2 knots/hour as it will cause you to ragdoll. Get it into a auto hover and you'll be fine

[sacred lagoon]

I was jumping out out of Heine's c17.

[inland flint]

@spice elk "Hello! I would like to know the name of the mod you are using. Could you please tell me?"

[sacred lagoon]

100 percent Jimmy Neutron. That's why I'm asking. Take your superiority complex somewhere else.

[spice elk]

bacon loadout editor?

[pale coral]

The fact people don't know what it is, is crazy

[spice elk]

there are people that use it and dont know the m4 has parts 😭

[pale coral]

gif of man falling over

[wicked tapir]

Seriously? Wow. I find looking for the best colour scheme one of the best parts of the bacon M4. My favourites are Almost FIA and Olive

[pale coral]

Your welcome for suggesting FIA. I have seen nobody else use it except for myself

[spice elk]

underrated

[wicked tapir]

It's brilliant on everon and arland

[pale coral]

Definitely the best camo on the list without a doubt

[wicked tapir]

And desert brush is great for Kunar

[spice elk]

I like the winter one but not many chances to use it recently

[pale coral]

FIA works everywhere and should be used everywhere apart from winter*

[wicked tapir]

No real winter maps (or not that I know of)

[pale coral]

Every map can be winter with kex's wintify mod so we have lots of winter maps

[wicked tapir]

Never heard of it 🤔 thanks will check it out

[spice elk]

kunar winter?

[pale coral]

My unit regularly do seasons where every few weeks we make it a different season. Autumn, winter, spring

I mean kunar already has snow

[spice elk]

more

[wicked tapir]

Not enough to not justify usage of Desert camo in its OG form. I mean my group generally use MC so the M4 camo that looks similar is cool ig

[spice elk]

is there a camo that multiple people would like to see? as in not just 1 or 2 guys, preferably also a real/realistic one

wonder what level of effort would it take to make a worn camo that starts off fully painted and the more you fire it will gradually become worn

but I dont think players on average survive long enough that it would have visible wear

[bleak lava]

rizz camo

[spice elk]

this already exists arma rerizzer

[loud sequoia]

hmmm, can you change the masks’ (sliders) based on number of fired rounds?

[spice elk]

thats what I was wondering about, if the mask can be interacted with (either through refs or parametric material), the rounds part is easy

imma try it out right now

nope Refs dont work on MaskOffset_2

[bold leaf]

Unicorn camo

[brave wedge]

not quite the same but I feel like you could do something similar based on rank in Conflict alá how Red Orchestra 2 used to have experienced players looking like veterans vs freshie noobs

[spice elk]

that sounds cool

[sturdy sedge]

or how the old arma 2 dayz mod used to work with bandits and heros at x amount of points skin turned into a hero or at -x a bandit

[wicked tapir]

Grey (not black)

[formal swallow]

I wonder if suppressors/barrels getting hot (slight red color visible at night/dusk) could be implemented in a similar fashion🤔.

[lime cobalt]

Is there anyway we could have the option for a stubby or full sized grips behind the bipod of the M110?

[red fable]

@spice elk Hi. I'm having a bit of a problem with GM Persistent Loadouts. I might be wrong, but I'm looking at the debugger and it seems that the init call for the item blacklists is missing from the modded ArsenalManagerComponent. Care to take a look? Is this the right place to provide additional details?

[spice elk]

I think the blacklists do work because my m4 was blacklisted and it didnt allow it to save, can you save items that are blacklisted?

[red fable]

Nope, in the simplest Conflict scenario (all vanilla managers/few bases) I can save the items from the vanilla blacklist (specifically the manpack radios). The debugger says that the blacklist is empty at the time of the check. It's not empty without the mod.

In the original SCR_ArsenalManagerComponent there's EOnInit() method that initializes m_LoadoutSaveBlackListHolder, but in the modded **EOnInit **there's no initialization, and there's no super.OnInit() either. As a result, **m_LoadoutSaveBlackListHolder **and the blacklists themselves remain unitialized while using the mod, the inventory blacklisting doesn't work, and I can observe that both in the editor and on the dedicated server. Am I missing something?

[spice elk]

OK!! If you can create a bug report in my discord (see pins) I would appreciate it, with all the details you have

[red fable]

Sure I can, but atm I'm not sure this is a bug, because a lot of servers have the same version of the mod working

[spice elk]

the servers I play on do not have loadout blacklists though, so if you can repro a blacklisted item being able to be saved then it would classify as a bug

[red fable]

Double checked and done, should be ticket-12

[spice elk]

ok thank you will try to look into it over the weekend

[red fable]

Thanks in advance, feel free to DM me if you need anything

[wicked halo]

Do you know if there’s a way to create a GM loadout that won’t override the vocals for the AI? For example, I create a loadout using the bacon loadout editor, save it, then when I use it on a Soviet group, they use American voices to callout movement.

[wooden pendant]

Was the entity you used to create the load out from the soviet faction

[wicked halo]

No it was on the American side. I performed the loadout creation on a conflict server were I couldn’t create a Soviet team to join. Would it work if I was to take over a Soviet ai and then use the arsenal box to do so?

[spice elk]

yes it is saving the whole character (except the identity apparently) not just gear

[stiff shuttle]

Hello everybody has anyone experience the fact that a loadout save with a specific rank give you back this specific rank

and evertyime your are demote promote because the server dont really know wich level your are suposse to have ?

[spice elk]

whole character is saved, literally above your message

[stiff shuttle]

Yup i saw that just wanted to know if it was a specifi feature you wanted to add or just a config i can change in order to not save the rank

[spice elk]

I guess you could make a mod that changes this behavior and publish it, I'm personally not interested in conflict so I'm gonna say pass

[stray sparrow]

Is the grip on the SBR gonna ever be changeable ?

[nimble sluice]

no

[stray sparrow]

🥲

[tawny flame]

Maybe when/if BI makes it that way for this game 😭. Till then we gonna be sad.

[dusk glen]

What happens if you actually load the light prop mod into an MP server?

[spice elk]

Not tested

[dusk glen]

Imma test it >:))

[dusk glen]

Its now going up on my server

[tawny flame]

Results?

[spice elk]

@formal swallow photo props updated with point lights, some more settings for lights, 3 projectile emitters and some other stuff

[formal swallow]

Oh word, I’ll check it out today

[spice elk]

also added FOV slider to armavision options so you can do stuff like this

[formal swallow]

Oooo, how does the FOV slider differ from the vanilla zoom?

[spice elk]

no idea what that is, I wanted a FOV slider, if it does the same thing then you can ignore it

[formal swallow]

I’ll check it out and see how much it’s different

Oh I see tracer stuff😮‍💨

[spice elk]

yeah finally

[spice elk]

the bullets and rockets it fires should not deal any damage (to characters/vehicles), otherwise act as normal

[dusk glen]

Tracers do not stay in air when world paused, other than that, its perfect!

[spice elk]

do bullets you fire out of your gun stay when paused?

[dusk glen]

Yes

[spice elk]

ah ok so it should be fixable, will try to fix it this year

[formal swallow]

Very cool additions Mr bacon😎

Love the embers and the bendy backdrop

[spice elk]

I think I should add a 2x bigger version of the backdrop, it turned out to be quite smol

no more time for this today tho

[dusk glen]

No worries, you have renewed the tools of which I use. That is enough for today. Time for hibernation

[spice elk]

actually projectiles that I fire do not stop when I pause the game

at least not in workbench

if I can ever get alignment sphere to work I can add static tracer projectiles

[formal swallow]

What is the alignment sphere?

[spice elk]

it's an alignment sphere, but it doesnt work yet

[spice elk]

you can sort of guess what I want it to do when you look at its faces, hopefully eventually I will figure out a way for the game to let you place things aligned to the alignment sphere if upside down

[formal swallow]

Is the intended purpose so that you can angle stuff or change the axis of objects?

[spice elk]

pretty much, it should help me when placing objects upside down at specific angles, but the game HATES it

[formal swallow]

Oh nice

[tough canyon]

if you hold lctrl and move your scroll wheel, you zoom in and out.

[spice elk]

I know, I found out after adding the FOV selector

[tough canyon]

lol the slider is probably faster anyways

[humble helm]

More precise too; the other way you’re just guessing your fov

[spice elk]

you're right, but it has no visual feedback, so idk if it's even that useful, I implemented it by mistake honestly

[humble helm]

It’s been useful for me when I was using it

[spice elk]

oh ok my bad never removing it then

[humble helm]

It’s down to you at the end of the day, but at least for me it’s been good 😂 I can’t speak for others though

[quasi pendant]

I need to add this to my server

[dusk glen]

FOV slider is the same as zooming in and out

[quasi pendant]

It ain't

[humble helm]

Yes it is lol

[daring yew]

https://tenor.com/view/wrong-drumpf-trump-stupid-gif-6220235

[dusk glen]

It is. Bacon just didnt know it was a thing until after he added it lol

Also pretty sure I would know with how much I work with Armavision

[quasi pendant]

Bacons goes a lot more than the arma reforger zoom is the thing

[spice elk]

no idea personally

[broken ridge]

hey do we know a mod that allows knife holding? also random question i didnt try but does the pan mod have any affect to allow knife to be held?

[spice elk]

the pan is just a visual pistol reskin

[wet geode]

There's one called functional knifes

[pale coral]

Knives*

[broken ridge]

yeah but it crashed my game think it needs updating

[pale coral]

Doesn't crash mine

[quasi pendant]

We need some new admin tools sneak peeks

[spice elk]

posting code snippets is boring

[quasi pendant]

i was thinking more of features

[spice elk]

does an admin command to send notifications remotely count as a cool feature?

[sturdy sedge]

would there be an option to do a full screen message ?

[silent plaza]

DROP DATABASE "AllPlayerProgress";

[quasi pendant]

That’s pretty cool

[spice elk]

Bold of you to assume reforger has database support

[arctic glen]

That sounds fire, especially on PVE with the AI counters, would be sick to be able to ping the whole server to tell them what direction to attack next

[spice elk]

standard functionality should allow you to send notification remotely to:

• everyone
• admins only
• GMs only
• specific player
  (maybe) specific faction

[arctic glen]

That’s fantastic! This will be massive for our server ❤️

[spice elk]

but this is not a feature of the notifications function but a core network feature, so it applies to all network data, but notifications are just a good use of it

[quasi pendant]

Is there a way to make ban messages?

[spice elk]

what is a ban message

[quasi pendant]

Like a ban reason I guess when you ban players

[spice elk]

idk I am not working on ban system yet

[quasi pendant]

Alr I just didn’t know if it was something enfusion was capable of

[spice elk]

will probably find out at that stage

[quasi pendant]

What are your goals for the project though?

[spice elk]

admin tools but better

[dusk glen]

It would be funny for someone to be in the woods alone and then they get the message “I see you” lol

[glass dirge]

Is there a character limit for the messages? Gonna send ASCII art server wide

[spice elk]

Idk but it will be wrapped

[worn wind]

is bacon loadouts gone i cant seem to find it?

[sharp wigeon]

No it’s till up.

[worn wind]

gotcha let me keep looking then

[quasi pendant]

Can you not make yourself invisible anymore using your admin mod?

[pale coral]

Was never a possibility.

[quasi pendant]

A mod allowed you to make yourself invisible and put yourself in god mode

[pale coral]

There is yes but it wasn't bacon.

[quasi pendant]

What is it?

[pale coral]

Not bacon so it shouldn't be in this thread

[quasi pendant]

Can you dm me it then?

[fierce sigil]

Might sound crazy but would a toxic gas grenade be possible?

[spice elk]

I dont see why not, most of what people are asking about is possible

[plain raft]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/622955949A4CBC17-GMFXchemicalwafareexpansion

[fierce sigil]

[rough laurel]

Honestly, we need some better gas mask. We got a good amount of gas and that mod has the gas nades, but only like 2 working gas mask mods

[plain raft]

Tiny is working on trimming VLST's Equipment mod for gasmasks and armbands. Keep an eye out

[rough laurel]

I will definitely be keeping an eye out for that, thank you good sir

[plucky copper]

Only kind of problem I see with this mod is the gas grenades spawn a permanent gas cloud that only a gm can delete.

same issue with the only mod that add white phosphorus artillery. It adds a small fire only a gm can delete.
.
So you could have issues with players spamming gas at spawn areas or anywhere where people might not have a mask.

and gms will have to be careful with the white phosphorus with how many Place ables are spawned, especially with the extra bomblet cluster artillery.
.
great mods though. Look forward to the future of them

[spice elk]

this thread is for my mods

[plain raft]

Sorry Bacon ❤️

[glacial cove]

Heard something about bacon making a new loadout editor and was curious if anyone has any details he might have shared in here previously? Scrolled through here for awhile but couldn’t find anything. And last I heard he was looking to move on from the project as I guess someone else was working on a similar project and he wanted to use his time elsewhere on other projects.

[spice elk]

the only project I announced to be in development is admin tools

[daring yew]

I love your new mod looks very cool can’t wait to see what it holds for the future

[quasi pendant]

What about the robots

[void cradle]

Its already in the workshop son...

[real sandal]

The mod being?

[real igloo]

It's Classified

[real sandal]

🙄

[quasi pendant]

Do you have any comments on the impending robot invasion?

[spice elk]

Classified

[quasi pendant]

I’ll find the mod

[dusk glen]

This guy

[sturdy sedge]

step 1 open workshop
step 2 type in Classified
step 3 magic

[quasi pendant]

I’ll take photos of it before you

[pale coral]

Already done that

[quasi pendant]

lol just saw that on your portfolio

[rugged slate]

Arma Robotforger?

[pale coral]

Arma roborger

[rugged slate]

That's the one

[pale coral]

Just did a few ops playing as the robot against a few in my unit as a test run and holy hell is it fun to play as the robot

[rugged slate]

Were your non robot enemies shitting their pants?

[quasi pendant]

Oh it is classified

[pale coral]

Yeah... Classified

[quasi pendant]

It's very classified

[pale coral]

ik its not a multiplayer mod but the bullet emitters only go north in multiplayer

even if the direction pointer is heading south,east,west it only goes north

[ruby galleon]

incredibly classified

[real sandal]

Fuck I'm dumb...

[pale coral]

Apparently alot of people are so don't stress it lmao

[quasi pendant]

I’m definitely not one of them but I just can’t believe it’s classified

[glass dirge]

Dude in the passenger seat is just waiting his turn to get iRobot'd

[fleet grail]

So is the robot just basically a normal AI or is there something wacky to it

[dusk glen]

Nah he is already dead

[real sandal]

Normal ai but there's a few small features

[fleet grail]

Oh?

[spice elk]

more health, more speed, better perception classified

[quasi pendant]

That’s classified

[olive star]

Sounds great for a sci fi operation.

[open arrow]

AUTOMATONS? CALL IN THE EAGLES

[spice elk]

finally you can get your butt handed to you in reforger just like in hell divers

[quasi pendant]

Fr now we need the terminids

[spice elk]

on a serious note, this mod has nothing to do with hell divers, and it's not a release so I will stop posting info about it until it is (if it ever is)

[quasi pendant]

What mod? I don’t know what you’re talking about?

[proven grail]

Its classified

[quasi pendant]

Classified doesn’t exist so don’t talk about it

[spice elk]

time to gaslight everyone

[quasi pendant]

I can’t wait for classified to be apart of server admin tools

[plain raft]

https://tenor.com/view/numbers-gif-18415713

[fleet grail]

I'm 100% doing some terminator style ops with this

[spice elk]

just dont use mods that alter AI behavior like CRX and (maybe) GME as it might make them dumber

[spare stone]

@spice elk

[spice elk]

I only accept bug reports in my Discord (see pins)

if you can reproduce it without any other mods then by all means let me know

[spare stone]

👌

[opaque marsh]

my friend wanted to know if your ever gonna be able to change the radius on the gas in your gm fx mod

[lilac sinew]

will you pick up the drone project again? I can imagine the rus/ukr players frothing at the mouth

[oak laurel]

We got Cold War robots in Arma before GTA 6

[spice elk]

going to report for APL-ND violation

[dusk glen]

Nuh uh

[spice elk]

yuh uh

[dusk glen]

I have a license

[spice elk]

darn, ok

[ruby galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/mclovin-superbad-gif-10265987

the license in question

[silver garnet]

is the zu-23 back?

[opaque marsh]

well it is classified

[spice elk]

classified

[junior tulip]

class I fried

I think I 'might' know what it's for but it's a long shot

[opaque marsh]

i know what it is for

you know why i scrolled up in the channel

[proper bane]

It needs to be or we riot 😂😂jkjk (no but fr )

[quasi pendant]

Hey that’s classified!

[opaque marsh]

thats what i said

[proper bane]

Bacon that's so funny bro I tested them out! they don't like to attack other factions to much, but when threatened they're scary!! long story short, It's def as the description says, but fun nontheless

[proper bane]

how do you guys do those animaitons??

[pale coral]

blender

[proper bane]

ohhh

[spice elk]

did you try changing their factions? they wont attack friendlies

[proper bane]

mhm Ichanged them 🙂 i wanted them to attack the US , lol their eyes turn red when threatnedm nice feature

[spice elk]

they have no problem shooting enemies for me, you could try removing any AI mods and using a vanilla map to rule out AI mods making them dumber and map having incorrect AI stuff

[proper bane]

I gneuinely believe it might me the map im on

[real sandal]

They no longer civi faction?

[daring fog]

This hurt's... 😥

[spice elk]

I did not investigate but it seems their shooting accuracy is lower with AI mods on, they also sometimes not fire at all like they were completely suppressed

[daring fog]

Yeah you totally right with this. 😉👍

[spice elk]

a bunch of the changes I do in script so it shouldn't be too bad, like I change their perception factors in script to 2.5x every time their threat state changes, but there's probably a lot of things I don't change that get changed

modded maps on the other hand have navmesh problems or come with buildings that dont have view geometry etc it just makes the AI weird

[daring fog]

Yeah if you like to have a very specific A.I. like your's it's probably best to not combine it with other A.I. mod's to get the real thing.

[spice elk]

or maybe people can use it and it will be lower difficulty, because they are pretty hard to kill when their AI does not glitch out, it might not be fun for some people

[oak laurel]

Had no issues running them with CRX Enfusion

[real sandal]

Mine won't attack anyone is there some method I don't understand

[spice elk]

change the group's faction

[real sandal]

Ohh is that only possible for groups? I remember trying for individual entities.

[oak laurel]

Yeah spawn a few. Highlight them and create new AI group and then just edit the group properties to some faction you’re trying to face them off against

[real sandal]

Ohh sweet thanks

[sharp wigeon]

GME lets you change the AI intelligence on a % scale that is at default 50 but you can change it in world settings and character/group settings. CRX is generally broken rn and I wouldn’t recommend using it in general because it brings more cons than pros due to most of the features not working.

(For those who are curious)

[glass scarab]

Are there in game limitations that would prevent someone from making a GM placed A-10 gun run similar to your gmfx arty strikes? Like if it's even possible that is

I haven't modded before but it something I've been thinking of

[lilac sinew]

rhs dev has something like that with rockets, an fa18c flies over the point and shoots a rocket at the target

[glass scarab]

I knew about this, it was the GBU strike that they recalled to the dev version but that was also essentially a single artillery strike with plane sounds added lol, I'm just worried that a gun run would cause a large amount of server lag

[arctic glen]

Realistically it wouldn’t cause anymore lag than bacons cluster artillery

[glass scarab]

Thats good to know

[spice elk]

not really, some scripting and you got a gun run

[glass scarab]

Dope, I'll see if I can wrap my tiny brain around it at some point

[pale coral]

Easiest way would be the same way RHS did it probably. Just an explosion after a period of time but there is a animation that plays before band so it looks like the missile or gbu caused it

[spice elk]

did anyone try that cookie recipe yet

[pseudo pilot]

im waiting for a cheesy one

[wicked tapir]

I have baked cheese scones for the community centre I work at, but I don't have the recipe

[pseudo pilot]

well that sounds great, post it here when you find it!
i know the trick is to add a lil mustard flour 😛

[wicked tapir]

no we dont use mustard flour where i work. I think its just normal scone with cheese not fruit in ifaik. ill have a look im taking them fudge in in a few days anyway

[spice elk]

I was referring to this #1110586149740748890 message

[pseudo pilot]

i know i saw. 🙂

[stiff shuttle]

Hello bacon, quick question in the server tools how do you detect the server restart event ? sometime iv got message but the serveur dont restart ?

[spice elk]

what message?

[stiff shuttle]

the event who print Game started

[spice elk]

The message says "Game started" and not "Server started", this should answer your question!

[stiff shuttle]

yes but i dont understand how do you manage to get this info ? for exemple why i have this event call even if i have player playing

[spice elk]

When the game starts, the Game started event is fired

Maybe you can think of it like mission start, does that make more sense? In conflict when a team wins the game (mission) is restarted

[stiff shuttle]

yes it's on a conflict mission but they are not wining the map (i thnink it might be because the cap point necerrely to win is under the real number of base i might investigate this ) Thanks for the answer

[spice elk]

It is quite literal, when the game state changes to started then the event is created. Any kind of game start, so mission end, game master doing a restart or admin using #restart command

[stiff shuttle]

Yes it's stange that i have so much event called and nothing change in the server no winnign screen, no restart is made and no scenario is restared

[spice elk]

it's interesting that the Game Ended event doesn't fire, are you 100% sure the server isn't crashing?

[stiff shuttle]

yup the player will have spam me or could it be like a huge freeze that nobody notice

[spice elk]

OK, i would need to see logs over this timeframe to see whats up, if you can't figure it out feel free to DM them to me

[quartz vortex]

whats the difference between the VTOL and VTOL TEST

[lavish oriole]

Anyone else's game freezing when selecting a saved kit in the bacon editor?

[spice elk]

You have broken mods

[spice elk]

First is using vanilla network movement interpolation, second is using movement interpolation I made

[quartz vortex]

something something funny words magic man

[stiff shuttle]

We have encounter this probleme we have wiped the save file and it worked again, for a reason some save are fuck up or not complet and the loadout have hardtime reading the file

[lavish oriole]

Thanks. good to know I'm not the only one encountering this issue 🙂
I'll wipe the loadouts and try again, might cull some mods to help find the culprit

[stiff shuttle]

we have frezze for about 1 min but people where still can talk and when they disconnect reconnect their entity where bug and their old player was repalce by an ai

[spice elk]

You can report a bug in my Discord if you want, but I have never seen this to be caused by a bug in the editor

[spice elk]

An important entity disappeared before the loadout could be loaded
This is a safeguard so your server doesnt crash. Problem is not in editor. Maybe the character was valid at the time of saving but after a server restart and mod change it is no longer valid.

[lavish oriole]

Legend, cheers. I'll look into it

[stiff shuttle]

AS we speak we just encounter back the probleme

[spice elk]

in general when you change mods that have gear or items in them, it is a good idea to wipe the saved loadouts

[lavish oriole]

Happens with newly created loadouts as well as old ones.

[spice elk]

can it be reproduced in vanilla, or with NO OTHER MODS LOADED? if yes - submit bug, if no - not loadout editor issue

[stiff shuttle]

i dont thinks so it seems to be when the laodout save file a huge with a bunch of moded content and a lot of save for various player

i dont know if it big or no but at that size we have the trouble it's only the US folder in the baconloadoutsave inside profile

[spice elk]

if the file fails to load it will be logged as an error

[lavish oriole]

Thanks Bacon, tested on vanilla, cannot be replicated.

@stiff shuttle setting the server AI limit to -1 fixed it for us.

No idea how AI is related to loading a character kit, but it is.

Maybe AI takes control of the character briefly in the transition of loading a new character kit?

[spice elk]

the character's AI agent is not turned on, but it is not a player, so the AI Limit might be preventing it from being spawned

it works by spawning the saved character first and then transferring your consciousness to it

[spice elk]

When you are in multiplayer check out how smooth VTOL and VTOL TEST are when piloted by other players. One of them should be smoother. In current version VTOL TEST will also be more audible when piloted by other players.

testing out an APC model but making vehicles in the tools is extremely weird with things randomly not working, parts of the model becoming randomly offset, tools just outright crashing, so not sure if it will ever make it into the GM entity list

[opaque marsh]

zombies

[honest pollen]

stop removing. dayz tactics.

[polar wren]

Will this eventually have similar features to the original Ravage (A3) mod?

[polar wren]

Its neither a suggestion or a request. But rather a question since he has labelled it as Ravage 😉

[sharp wigeon]

Mb
Though knowing bacons mods I wouldn’t assume it to be a direct recreation of A3s ravage but some overlapping features and some unique ones If it even continues development

[spice elk]

This is a revival of the Ravage mod for Arma Reforger, it has nothing to do with Arma 3

Or to be specific, revival of Bacon Ravage mod for Arma Reforger, which was an extension of the Ravage mod for Reforger

[glass dirge]

How did you get it working? I thought the original ravage source was gone

In any case im stoked to see it return

[spice elk]

idk it just happened

[spice elk]

most notable changes from original ravage:

• All zombies have blood applied automatically on spawn, using the default character skin (so all clothing variants will have blood)
• More groups/variants
• Waypoints are sort of followed when no combat target is known
• US, USSR, FIA zombies carry a very small quantity of rifle magazines
• Increased danger event memory (how long they stay interested in potential unknown threat)
• Sounds are slightly quieter

changes from original bacon ravage:

• Exploder will blow up when it melees you
• Clumsiness/trample mechanics (currently disabled until I can figure out how to make them unholster the dummy pistol when waking up)

[opaque marsh]

do they go towards gunshots? and are they able to destroy vehicles? also is it just randomized gear when they spawn like it selects random gear if so does that include modded gear?

[spice elk]

everything not in my above list is how it was with ravage

[opaque marsh]

ah

well that shows me being dumb:p

[spice elk]

shitty pistol zombies added to military zombie squads

[young hamlet]

Somehow, with the Ravage mod, when I try to spawn certain Zombies, such as the exploder, it instead spawns a Robot with Hamr from some classified source. Same for a couple of the other ones, too. Not sure what's going on there.

[pale coral]

vanilla bug i believe but dont quote me

[spice elk]

Your mods loaded in different order than server, its a bug for a while and has nothing to do with ravage.

[young hamlet]

Right on, man. I figured it was something similar, but figured I'd give mention just in case. Appreciate it, man.

[spice elk]

sometimes it will fix itself for you when you rejoin the server, but you may fix this "permanently" by specifying all mods that add GM entities in your config in case you have dependencies that arent in the config

[young hamlet]

Noted and I appreciate that. I do, however, always add the dependencies and put them in the typical dependent/dependency load order, as applicable. Unfortunately, I don't have access to Workbench yet. Tried to get around that with Geforce now, but it doesn't pop up on there anymore, for some aggravating reason, and I've got a lot of gd scripting that needs done. I'm just going to have to stop being cheap and buy another bomb assed PC, lol. Either way, always appreciate the info. Thank you!

[spice elk]

I am talking about server/game load order so not related to workbench

[young hamlet]

Ahh, okay. I'll have to talk to Black about how to "specify" said entities, as I'm not sure I'm tracking on how to exactly do that where the config.Json is concerned, other than placing them in the correct order.

[spice elk]

some dependency might be missing from json, this bug has been in the game since... forever

[young hamlet]

Yeah, I am tracking on that. Everything appears to be there. I double and sometimes triple check for dependencies on each mod when I add it, especially afterwards when I experience anomalies. I'm kind of OCD that way, lol.

[spice elk]

like I rejoin the server and it'll work

[stable cloud]

Hi there, is this the place where i can get help with the loadout editor? if so, the russian side on my scenario cant save their loadout, but the US can, have not added any mods to the arsenal myself but there are modded weapons in there

it says this, if you need more details to be able to help let me know :)

[arctic glen]

It’s possible the weapons that are added might be “US” as a base and meant for PVE, you could fix this by adjusting the saving by using the GM menu and adjusting the saved loadout restrictions

Unsure on any more information as I myself am not a modder but am a GM who has to adjust settings constantly 😂😂

[stable cloud]

you use the GM menu ingame right, does that save? or do i have to redo it every game

im currently in the enfusion workbench is why im asking

[arctic glen]

Yeah GM menu in game, it does not save unfortunately, as this is going off topic feel free to DM me for more any extra info, if I don’t know it I’ll ask one of our team

[stable cloud]

its a bacon loadout editor issue i think, or me being a dum dum with it, cause your fix did not fix it :\

so my question in here remains, but thanks for your help :)

[spice elk]

Test in vanilla game master. Join both factions and try to save. If works then issue not on my end.

[stable cloud]

how would i test whatever is making it unsavable, any logs i can check?

[spice elk]

Start vanilla game master, place spawnpoints for US and USSR, place arsenals, spawn as each, try to save loadout in said arsenals.

[stable cloud]

sorry im stupid, im sure its not an issue on your end bacon you know what you're doing, its most likely me that just messed up somewhere

does it have to be game master? im in a conflict mode now

[spice elk]

Conflict might work

[stable cloud]

is this something related? happens when i open the loadout editor

[spice elk]

Step 1 is try to repro with vanilla. This tells you if problem is in my mod or in yours.

[stable cloud]

roger that

so basically make a new scenario with just bacon editor, plop down two bases and spawn in

[spice elk]

No. Start vanilla + mod. Test.

There might be a log depending on what the issue with saving is. If it says "Rejected by arsenal manager" then your arsenal save settings are marking your loadout as invalid.

[stable cloud]

it says Rejected by arsenal manager

i put a screenshot up a little up in the chat history

the US team can save, not USSR

[spice elk]

Okay so your loadout saving settings are marking your loadout as invalid

[stable cloud]

im very new so i apologize for the amount of questions, but where do i change those settings?

[spice elk]

First try saving with the Save Loadout action when looking at the box, it will tell you why it is rejected

[stable cloud]

will do, stand-by

[cloud cedar]

You gotta have the settings of the box savable for all factions. Should be no item restrictions

[stable cloud]

i dont want the ussr to run around with american weapons

[spice elk]

make sure that your faction is actually ussr, ie. you joined this faction from the spawn menu

[stable cloud]

i did ye

[spice elk]

are you using some custom characters?

[stable cloud]

i dont think i am no

[spice elk]

idk then, the text from the screenshot is usually right

[stable cloud]

OH WAIT, better ru is a mod i added, might have changed the spawn gear?

[stable cloud]

Where do i do this? i'll fix it like this temporarily till i actually look at the arsenal content

[cloud cedar]

If your on Xbox in GM hold x on the box while in GM , and edit it's properties on the first tab it should be on. Should say loadout restrictions make sure it says none

[stable cloud]

i was hoping for a non-ingame fix, this means i'd have to redo it every game right

[spice elk]

I mean it works for your US box, doesnt work for your USSR box, then something is setup for USSR that is different than US

[real sandal]

Very nice mod. Seeing them not friendly fire every time is so satisfying. They seem to have bad knees though and don't want to crouch down to slap sleeping boys.

[spice elk]

Will fix this probably, but I have some stuff to do on priority first

Pistol zombies are my favorite with how bad they are at aiming and stuff 😄 it looks kinda cute like they're tryin

[real sandal]

Controlling them is funny asf

[past crest]

So, I tried the fixes you said bacon for the ai spawning switching around and they don't seem to work

[sharp wigeon]

Hi!

You phrased this a bit confusing could you restate it, also on the note of this being a potential bug are you using other mods?

[junior tulip]

it reminds me of the pistol zombies in stalker

buddy of mine and I spawned like 20 of em about 100 meters out and took bets to see which one of us die first. I won a hotdog that day

[pseudo pilot]

[spice elk]

heres a video though!!!

Bacon stop they’re already too powerful 😭

This is bordering on half life 1 enemies 😂

[spice elk]

I wanted to try something new, made the model myself today, it needs some more work but I'm happy!!!

[oblique fjord]

It’s very well done I didn’t even think this was possible with how arma works, how did you do the projectile launcher thing and how do you integrate that into the character

[spice elk]

it's an invisible gun

[real sandal]

That's fucking sick now we just need a brute and some kind of sprinter

[spice elk]

added new zombo and testing crouch when attacking unconscious/prone enemies

make sure u use 1.0.14

[spice elk]

pew pew

[lament spruce]

can you add some walkers? i want a walking horde

[spice elk]

primary issue with this is optimization, I would love walkers but it will take many walkers for them to be dangerous to players and the mod is just not there yet

[strong pasture]

well yeah if you deck yourself out with automatic rifles and high quality optics. It's alot of fun to blast zombies with pistols, pump action (or double barrel) shotguns and bolt action rifles

the bayonet is really fun to use as well, weapon bashing is not really feasible 😦

[real sandal]

Something caused him to commit order 66

[summer verge]

Thats awesome!👌

Can u do it so players slowly die in pain like theyve been hit with acid 🤣

[spice elk]

too hard lol the goop launcher knocks u unconscious if it lands next to u

[young hamlet]

Hell yes. I love this mod and am especially appreciative of the spawners. Anyway we can get some creepy moaning and/or screams/other creepy indications of their presence? Kinda like the "greesy vulva" type dialogue with the FIA, lol? That'd be sick.

[spice elk]

the what type dialogue

they do have idle sounds but usually they will spot you before you can hear it

[young hamlet]

You know, how the FIA talks Russian to let you know they're aware of your presence. Sounds like they say "Greesy Vulva" sometimes, lol.

[spice elk]

[young hamlet]

Ahh, gotcha. That's probably why I haven't heard. They are almost as aware as the Robots, I think. I'd love to hear them moaning for Brains, like in the classic Return of the living dead!

[quartz vortex]

huh?

[glass dirge]

The hwat now

[polar wren]

Heck yeah.

[proper bane]

Lmfao I tested the mod today we almost got wiped but a solid rooftop and you’re good :3

[spice elk]

spawn more bombers then to deal with the rooftops

unless the rooftop is higher than 50 meters... then you win, probably

[strong pasture]

I thought I was up high enough in a lighthouse, turns out the zombies can climb stairs and open doors

[spice elk]

man I wish house doors were destructible in vanilla so they could just break them down

[lilac sinew]

cant you somehow change the textures of the opened doors to a damaged model when they open it?

[strong pasture]

isnt (limited) building destruction planned for reforger anyway?

[spice elk]

yup

[spice elk]

I am not touching door destruction in any way for the time being

[spice elk]

I have added ambient patrol spawnpoints to the mod, they are configured slightly differently than the vanilla ones as they do not use entity catalog

[lilac sinew]

is there a mod that has a spawner that spawns other ai like in yours?

[spice elk]

no idea

[lament spruce]

I was actually gonna ask, can you make a Ai spawner mod ? For like all factions

[spice elk]

I would like to but the problem is with making it configurable, the game master entity properties system is medieval

[real sandal]

They'll vault through broken windows sometimes

[spice elk]

awesome

[latent quartz]

I have noticed that sometimes when the zombies get shot they do not take any health damage, just bleeding. I am using the ACE Medical mod, but I was wondering if this is a form of headshots-only zombies? Or if their health has been modified in a different way?

I realise that it could very well just be incompatibility with ACE Med. The zombies also swap places in GM menu with some civilians, but that could be RHS factions incompatible too. Aside from that the mod is still great

[spice elk]

This is a bug with how the server and client load mods I think, after I rejoin the server it usually resolves somehow.

Regarding bleeding damage that might be the case as they have higher bullet resistance, I will revisit this during the week

[latent quartz]

I understand, thanks. I will work with it, was just making sure I wasnt shooting myself in the foot with my load order or list.

[spice elk]

I have zero clue why this issue resurfaced now. It was fixed months ago by BI

[latent quartz]

Yeah

[torn temple]

No there isn't. You can use Gramps's PvE conflict Map or try to understand bacon's last scripts and use it.

The "ambient patrol spawn point" mechanic is very good to easily populate a Map but doesn't work other than Conflict Map or bacon script

[spice elk]

I have done a zombie ambient patrol spawn point which works 80% like the conflict one, but unfortunately it is only for conflict I guess

for scenario framework you should be able to just put the zombie groups in the qrf spawnpoint and it should work, the groups (loosely) listen to move waypoints

I guess if you can get ambient spawn point manager to work in non-conflict scenario then you can reuse it

[torn temple]

Tried to understand your script and failed.
I think a good spawner would be to copy paste massively an "Ambient Spawn point" with a Defend_waypoint, a move one or a patrol one. As you don't need to name and link the waypoints...
I don't think we need a more complicated spawner because IA just need to idle, defend or patrol.

[spice elk]

I literally have an ambient spawn point in the mod that is like the conflict one, maybe you were looking at the GM spawner which is intended for GM only

[torn temple]

Yep, I know how to make a custom faction and an Ambient Spawn point. But not, how actually make them spawn on other than Conflict

[spice elk]

hm ok that makes sense

[torn temple]

I don't remember the script name. But is it like "ambient patrol spawn point component" the one used to spawn them in GM ?

[spice elk]

no the gm spawner and ambient patrol spawner work completely different, I will find out how to get ambient patrol working outside of conflict and get back to you

[torn temple]

You are the best.

[spice elk]

Ok you need to check Spawn AI flag in your scenario for ambient patrol to work 🙂 I published a scenario in the mod just now with it working if you want to check

The included Zombie Arland GM scenario fills Arland with respawning zombies using the ambient patrol spawnpoint

I put civilian zombies in towns, military zombies in military bases, fia in forests and the higher tier zombies in some random areas, just as a test

Since it starts with 138% budget I think I will make the zombie budget requirements half so I can add more ambient patrols

Unfortunately cannot have budget lower than 1 for the characters, oh well

[lilac sinew]

i meant the gm spawner

[spice elk]

imo the ambient patrol spawner should despawn AI based on player distance instead of just disabling it, it would keep the budgets lower

[torn temple]

Ok thx I will check your Manager's components

[spice elk]

you dont have to, all you need to enable ambient patrol is the Spawn AI flag in scenario, but I published the scenario as a demo

[torn temple]

Oh, this is it ? V key when GM. Seems too easy...

[spice elk]

in GM scenario this flag is disabled, so I just enabled it for my scenario

[spice elk]

actually it uses server view distance

[torn temple]

I think it's 800m in vanilla

Or +800m when using binoculars etc...

[spice elk]

default is 1600, I am starting server now to test

lets see

[torn temple]

Ok ok. Will try when going back home.

You probably solved many mapper's problems

[spice elk]

yeah no it still spawned everything hahaha

[spring blade]

https://discord.com/channels/1059854199262818324/1275861269861109801

[spice elk]

its weird how it spawns everything if there is no players, but once i delete them they only seem to spawn when within view distance??? weird

[torn temple]

When starting my scenario from the tool it was spawning all the ambient patrol. But, when starting it from the dedicated, it was spawning then only on player vincinity

Will try the ai flag when back from work

[spice elk]

Try remove this mod and tell me if it gets rid of the GM menu spawning mixup

[latent quartz]

I dont have that mod

Or at least, it shouldnt be there and it doesnt show up in my catalog or in GM

[spice elk]

ok so there are more mods that mess with this OMG

or my mod is messed up

will dm u

[hushed aspen]

It wouldn’t be reforger unless a mod was messing up another mod

[pale coral]

Wouldn't be a mod without messing up another mod*. People think mods are exclusive to this game lmao

[spring blade]

I don’t think I’ve played any other game with mods installed where the mods collided with one another leaving them both useless.

[pale coral]

I could name several

[spice elk]

redone arland scenario spawns and tweaked so it hopefully doesnt spawn everything at once

[torn temple]

I still don't understand what is this flag you enabled and where is it. I dont have any of this

[spice elk]

Literally in scenario file

They are usually in missions folder

[zenith current]

Bacon, for your zombie mod, an idea for a new variant could be a semi transparent zombie like these goofy guys

[torn temple]

Spawning single characters Zombie actualy spawn Civilians

[spice elk]

are you running suspicious props mod?

[torn temple]

nope

[spice elk]

see if you can reproduce the problem WITH NO OTHER MODS LOADED before you send bug reports

[torn temple]

will do

[spice elk]

I already know of one mod that makes this happen with my zombos but there might be more, it'd be good to know so I can figure out if I can work around the problem on my end

[torn temple]

was using RHS tho

[spice elk]

#1110586149740748890 message

[spice elk]

You got it! I added dynamic despawn to the ambient patrol spawners in Bacon Ravage, they will remove the spawned AI when at a distance to keep the budgets friendly. The bundled Arland scenario has spawners for about 350 zombies

[spice elk]

Turns out there is some conflict between this mod and Zeliks Character, so far I don't know why but once I do I will do my best to fix it I now think this is my mod only

[spice elk]

Please test the most recent version of Bacon Ravage and see if it works properly

[real sandal]

Anyway you could rig the vtol to be unmanned? Would be a cool way to make a drone.

[royal anvil]

@spice elk Ravage idea: Juggernauts?

[spice elk]

Go for it

[torn temple]

Do zombies have more life or else ?

[spice elk]

I had hoped I fixed the character spawning bug but it is still there unfortunately

[spice elk]

Actually I might have fixed it just now

[summer verge]

The variety of zombies are nuts! 🤣 and they eat bullets like there nothing
Its No easy task taking these down!

Love the mod bacon 🫡 its soo much fun

[spice elk]

they should have less health as of yesterday

[torn temple]

I personally like them to be easy to kill. They compensate by their mobility and number

I spawned like hundred of them and my fps are very stable.

[spice elk]

I did go to some lengths to optimize it, I also finally fixed sounds in multiplayer

[torn temple]

You can make huge hordes, it's great

[spice elk]

one secret optimization trick was to make the ragdoll become still after 5 seconds instead of 25 seconds (default), physics was a big problem with fps when you were producing a lot of corpses

it still sucks when you have 50 ragdolls in one place like at a doorway but not sure I can improve this much

[torn temple]

Oh ok. Didn't tried to choke them out like that.
My preferred way to spawn them is to copy paste furiously the "ambient small groups" on many places of a town.
Bigger groups don't spread themselves as good as the small ones.
Big groups are better to make moving hordes.

[spice elk]

with the new roaming behavior they should wander around

[torn temple]

They do but, when the player "spawn them" and then "arrive" I think they kinda didn't have enough time to roam.
Personal preference I guess, I don't mind copy pasting 🙂

[spice elk]

yeah time, currently roam step is anywhere between 3 to 8 seconds

ah yeah they stay within the range of the spawnpoint so theres a limit to how far they will go

maximum range looks something like this (for all groups not just the big one)

maybe in the future the ambient spawnpoint could make it configurable, but not for now

I added the vis spheres and pillars to help me visualize zombie population, regular ambient spawn points have no visual indicators

[barren plover]

Is there any other planned variations of zombie that you've been thinking about bacon? Or anything you'd like to do but not have planned

[spice elk]

plenty but I'm not telling

[proper bane]

rAVAGE IDEA: THE IRS

[brave wedge]

nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes

[proper bane]

Can't theoritically we use the ravage mod to spawn enemy AI for missions outside of zombies ;)? saves GM's a lot of grief

[spice elk]

ambient spawning is already a thing in missions since forever

unless you mean GM spawners then no

[quaint hornet]

Dropping by to say thanks bacon for the Bacon Ravage mod! So damn good!

[spice elk]

bet

[potent birch]

@spice elk is it possible to make the zombies immune to gaz ?

[spice elk]

yes it is possible

[dim crane]

Seems like the individual zombie spawning is fixed, it no longer spawns civilians.

A cool idea would to allow other players to spawn in as zombies, but it’s great as is.

[spice elk]

the zombies are not supposed to be player controlled and there are no plans to make them be

it makes more sense to have separate higher tier zombies that are played controlled and leave the most basic ones as simple as possible

[potent birch]

Good to hear !

[young hamlet]

Everything seems to be working just fine with Ravage, on my end. I noticed above that you said that they will stay in proximity of the spawners and while that is usually the case, I logged onto our server a little while ago and noticed that the damn things we're moving single file, in several different groups, down two different roadways, far away from their spawners, towards players. Personally, I thought that was cool.

[spice elk]

I did see this but I don't know what causes it yet

maybe they saw a helicopter or something

[supple pilot]

zombies formed into roman phalanx formation - they are evolving

[young hamlet]

Hard to say for sure, since I arrived after the fact, but they did appear to be alerted to some type of player activity. No helipads at the base they were in and/or no observed Heli's.

[young hamlet]

Yessss🤘

[spice elk]

if someone figures out a repro for this behavior please report in my discord

[polar wren]

Darn mate, your Ravage mod has developed fast since being published.

[arctic glen]

Could it be they are alerted to distant gunfire potentially?

[spice elk]

It's because a chunk of it is just fixed up version from a year ago or so. Not having to start from scratch helps a lot. Credit to Haleks for developing the original mod.

[spice elk]

Not at such high range I dont think. I wonder if it happened when they spotted a target and then said target teleported somewhere via GM, and the system followed target position

[polar wren]

Nice. Work smarter not harder. Bit of a shame Haleks decided to stop with Reforger.

[young hamlet]

I would say that's a negative as far as my server is concerned as Black and Myself are the only one's with that access on our server, atm, and he hasn't been on in sometime and I hadn't been in game. Just checked in on the server and found them reacting as such.

[spice elk]

is it always some specific group of zombies? from some specific area?

they definitely do not react to danger at this distance

I have the game running at 5x speed in the background hope they go rogue at some point

[runic tartan]

Hi! It's time to make Survive Arland back to what it used to be and it needs your awesome zombie mod. Can I use it again?

[spice elk]

you can use any mod as dependency without the need to ask

[runic tartan]

Thanks!

[spice elk]

I think its actually, indirectly the projectile hit danger event, I have something that is maybe a fix for it but I want to release it along with some other stuff so not for now

[open arrow]

Now we only need an automatic Zombie spawner and were good to go

[spice elk]

is the ambient zombie patrol spawner not working in current version?

[open arrow]

Holy shit you already did this?

[spice elk]

there is an included arland scenario that is populated by like 350 zombies, which will be spawned and despawned based on proximity to player

[open arrow]

I just came back a few minutes and saw the chat goin nuts over zombies

[spice elk]

map makers can use it to add automatic zombies to their missions in like minutes

[open arrow]

im on Xbox , so i dont know how that stuff works

[spice elk]

there is a GM placeable spawner that you can configure to spawn the types of zombies you want and give them a waypoint to run to when they spawn

it is infinite up to the limit you set though

[open arrow]

im not abusing this to totally not do a besiege scenario

time to get back to Arma i guess 😄

[spice elk]

older video of gm spawner, its helpful to make a constant stream of zombies up to some certain limit for gm scenarios

current version has adjustable limit up to 50 per spawner

[open arrow]

50 until depleted or 50 at all times

[spice elk]

50 max forever, as in infinite but never more than 50

[open arrow]

so if i kill one it automatically spawns a new one right?

[spice elk]

yes

[open arrow]

OH lord im about to commit warcrimes 😄

[spice elk]

good for like wave defense over some time or whatever so you dont have to place them all manually

[open arrow]

or generally populating the world , so with some props n stuff , it feels more alive and you got shit to do

it would be fun to go with small teams to fetch cargo trucks to build up a base

[spice elk]

they dont care about player proximity so will spawn in front of your face when ur close, for ambient you should use workbench

also use bacon weather's fog for more immersive zombie ops

[young hamlet]

As noted above, it's pretty atypical and the only time I've seen it happen. It was two different groups of 10 from two separate spawners at least 500m apart. It's the only time I've ever seen it happen.

[spice elk]

I think it's a reaction to projectile hit, some stray bullet may have landed next to a zombie and they thought to investigate, I will implement a maximum distance of shooter as they shouldnt investigate where a bullet come from as good as a human

like if the bullet comes from 1000 meters away they somehow end up going to the place where it came from sometimes

[young hamlet]

The thing I thought most strange was that both groups, as far away from one another as they were, appeared to know what the others knew, as both groups continued single file down two separate roads several hundred meters apart and descended on the player's from two spawners at least 1000m away from the players positions. They seemed to operate with one mind, kind of like the Borg. Wish I would have clipped it but didn't think too much of it at the time and just thought it was cool, lol.

[spice elk]

that may have been a coincidence because there is no comms between groups, so either they happened to notice some bullets or there is a bug where it places a waypoint in the same position for everyone, but you did say they were walking towards some players instead of in an irrelevant direction so I am leaning towards the bullet thing

[young hamlet]

Yeah, me too. Possibly could have had something to do with the Nav Mesh, also since it occured in the Barzan Remake conflict map.

[fossil acorn]

is there any intention to make the zombies have a different running animation? (if that is possible of course)

[spice elk]

no (yes)

[fossil acorn]

ahh ok

[spice elk]

this is what I wanted to do, individual zombies get interested in other zombies running after something, so you can see here that following the noise it pulls the entire town toward the player

I am not happy with it yet but getting there

[gaunt ice]

Bacon I’m assuming this isn’t yet released correct?

[spice elk]

this particular feature no, the zombie mod yes

[gaunt ice]

Gotcha could I get a link to that if possible?

[spice elk]

its called bacon ravage on the workshop

[gaunt ice]

gotcha just found it thank you Bacon ❤️

[glass dirge]

This is so cool

[young hamlet]

I had to remove the spawners until I can figure a way for more strategic placement and revert to just placing individual groups around the map. When those fuckers get a bead on ya, they don't stop coming. I saw some players kill a line of at least 50 before I realized what was happening and could remove the spawner, lol.

[sly shoal]

Would be nice if there was a timer maybe also on the spawner so like instead of just spawning right back prehaps u could turn the timer to 20 seconds then every 20 seconds a new wave of however many u put to spawn would spawn and do there thing say when it says 0 second they spawn like they do now but when the timers above zero a new wave spawns after that amount of time

[spice elk]

you are welcome to make one

[severe olive]

Absolutely insane work on the zombie mod bacon, smashed it, so fun

[proven grail]

I will make a GM mission next week with the mid

[spring blade]

Bacon ur zombies can drive tanks😭

[fleet imp]

actually kinda wicked

[young osprey]

That is terrifying. I want it to stay!!!

[glass dirge]

Just had ~60 zombies in st. Phillipe alongside gas and vehicles with zero performance issues on either client or server side for any of the guys playing. Didnt tell them about the exploders and i guess they didnt know cause i heard at least one dude jump the first time one blew up

[supple ridge]

Really like the classified mod! I just wish there was a variant of the rifle that didn’t kill the user, that way it could have some actual use for normal players

[spice elk]

both classified and bacon ravage exist only to bully players

[spice elk]

433% budget is probably still too much

[spice elk]

the armless bomber can also climb ladders

[proper bane]

lol imagine them springitng at you non stop lmfaoo

[gaunt ice]

He has psychic arms he let him cook lol

[torn temple]

Hi, Is there any way to disable AI budget ? I'm at 290% jsut by ambient patrol spawns

[viral arrow]

Bacon has a mod specifically for that afaik

[torn temple]

thx

[arctic glen]

Yeah pretty sure you use the GM menu and then there’s an option near the bottom to disable vehicle budget, turning that off gives all budgets unlimited

[warm turret]

Hello, does anyone know how to configure bacon loadout editor ?

[spice elk]

it doesn't have any configuration

[arctic glen]

Afaik it only reads the arsenal boxes, I’m pretty sure there’s something a mod author can select that causes it to not appear but most show in there automatically

[polar wren]

You need to add the items you want in the arsenal to the factions entity catalogue.

Eg. RHS weapons added to US entity catalogue to enable US vanilla faction to have access to RHS

[warm turret]

okay thanks you

[lilac token]

It only takes items added to the arsenal list linked to the faction. Sometime you have to change things in the Arsenal config to show them correct.

[warm turret]

Dac merci

[timid vine]

zombies glitching on server,working well in editor

@spice elk

[spice elk]

thank you but this tells me nothing, if you have a repro please submit a bug report in my discord

[sturdy sedge]

is it that they stand still on spot after respawning / on spawning ?

[timid vine]

on spawning,i will change the navmesh and test again.

[sturdy sedge]

i have the same sometimes they work fine and then few spawns later they do stand still and wont move

[timid vine]

sure,they just stand and wont move,even you try use gm to give them any orders.

they work well in localhost and editor.

[sturdy sedge]

for me its random they do work and then they dont . and they do still attack if you get real close same for you?

[timid vine]

yes,they attack if you get face to face.

[sturdy sedge]

what spawn system do you use ?

[timid vine]

ambient spawner

I tried use gm spawn the groups on server,but still got same issues.

[sturdy sedge]

yea we made our own spawner but it happends to you aswel , thought it was my own spawners issue

[spice elk]

why would pathfinding of the ai agent be a spawner issue? if you have a repro then submit the bug report so I can look at it

[sturdy sedge]

more because they work some times and then othertimes not

[spice elk]

try repro on a vanilla world and check how close they are to players when this happens

I dont know the specifics but AI LOD might turn them off though they shouldn't when you are above them in GM

[sturdy sedge]

our spawner only spawns then if players are in x amount of range and deleted them once someone not been there in x time , so ai LOD shouldnt nomraly be even be a thing where they stand still and move on having people in range

[spice elk]

if pathfinding is broken it should happen in the same areas of the map consistently

[sturdy sedge]

i have had it on multiple locations . and it sometimes can be the 5th or 10th spawn as the others before it work fine that why its so strange to me

[spice elk]

maybe if you let WB run long enough it will eventually happen, you can use time multiplier to speed up the game or something

[sturdy sedge]

ill give that a shot

[spice elk]

I have seen my fair share of random AI bugs on DS

[quasi pendant]

Can you tell me what a repro means lmao

[arctic glen]

Reproduction, so methods to recreate bugs happening

[pliant jasper]

WIP !!
Made whith SF.
https://youtu.be/u9JkFqv2ETc

[spice elk]

such a cool mod

[spice elk]

I do not have any mods like that I dont think

[sturdy sedge]

i think you talking about crocells horror mod , he had blinking lights in it

[proven grail]

So sorry for my confusion

[spice elk]

anyone interested in testing a mod that tries to make PVE conflict more linear? limit to one base that can be captured at a time, and AI only spawns at that base

[analog fox]

Yes!

[spice elk]

Is called bacon linear conflict

Just uhhh have low expectations when comin to it

[analog fox]

Definitely. As I do with all mods, Haha.

[proven grail]

That mod is so fucking good

[spice elk]

you have some mod that breaks projectiles, the bomber zombie should shoot one projectile not two

I will check if I broke it accidentally

[proven grail]

I believe there are 2 shooters launching 1 projectile each

[spice elk]

dont think so, ive seen this before here for example

you might be right though

[proven grail]

Hahahahahahahahaha

[quasi pendant]

What’s the sound mod and map?

[proven grail]

Better sounds and Bergamo

I made a plot where they didn't know there were zombies on the island, they thought they would only be independent fighters, but when they arrived at the tunnel a contact on land warned them that there were infected in the area and they were surprised (THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THIS MOD) It was insane, and their reaction of fright was priceless.

[spice elk]

thats a good way to experience the mod yeah

finally see someone use the red barrels too

[quasi pendant]

Red barrels?

[spice elk]

barrels that are red

[quasi pendant]

That’s a thing?

[spice elk]

its a prop in game master fx, they blow up when shot, classic video game red barrels

[quasi pendant]

Oh lmfao I do mine clearing operations and filled a shipping container with them, one of the guys shot it and it was practically a nuke

[spice elk]

a nuke against your fps maybe

[fossil acorn]

damn, makes me hope someone will for either Reforger or 4 make a nuke mod

[proven grail]

They are pretty good, the box of ammo its pretty nice, but make a much big explosion

[proven grail]

And do you think Bacon doesn't already have a nuke mod? You can bet he already does, he just hasn't released it yet.

[spice elk]

you're spot on

[fossil acorn]

its a possibility, just I still remember the golden oldie of Pandabears Nuke mod back in 2016 or so, where it not only had the explosion that you expect, but you see a shockwave emenate from it that once it hit vics it disables them

and you could also just place the EMP shockwave on its own in Zeus too

[fossil acorn]

ahh I guess thats that then 😆

[quasi pendant]

Honestly not too bad

[quasi pendant]

Does it drop FPS a bunch?

[spice elk]

im not releasing bigger boom because its very underwhelming without destruction mechanics, even if i delete entities some of them stay

[quasi pendant]

Mini nuke

[ornate grail]

So, i have a weird issue with Bacon Loadout. A friend of mine, after respawn, he tries to load another loadout, but when he does, he gets "Invalid Faction" and somehow it has switched him to OpFor side. But in ganemaster, he still shows as BluFor and still has Blue markers. But the OpFor side won't shoot at him even if he shoots them. It has happened to others after some testing as well. Anyone with any ideas?

[spice elk]

make sure you are only saving and loading characters you spawn with through the respawn menu and not GM created/possessed characters

also reproduce it in vanilla + my mod only and no other mods before submitting a bug report

[ornate grail]

Not using GM for characters. We only use the normal respawn. But will test with Vanilla and Bacon only.

[proven grail]

Is it just me or did you change the GM UI?

[spice elk]

this is from before 1.2

[strong shard]

I participated in the mission yesterday. Congratulations Bacon, it was very cool.

[strong pasture]

The loadout editor is on the experimental branch again? Nice.

[spice elk]

what?

[quasi pendant]

POV bacon got hacked

[spice elk]

show me some screenshot

might be some old version if I uploaded it

[strong pasture]

Wont be home for a bit, but I’m guessing it’s a really old version then. It has a small graphical bug in that some text boxes are white. But it seems to work just fine. Suppressors supported and all.

[spice elk]

I dont see it in the workshop on exp at all

[young hamlet]

@spice elk been using Ravage since the beginning (Love it, awesome mod) and noticed you mentioned in another post that the spawners not only spawn but despawn the entities without players in proximity? I use the spawners extensively, but have yet to see them despawn any entities. I did a full server wipe and downloaded all mods fresh to see if that would fix a couple issues I was having (Fixed BLE saves, disconnects, and rank glitches), but have yet to see the Zombies despawn. Does being in GM nearby keep that behavior from happening or am I missing something? They also seem to go idle after a time and stop roaming, even when players are in proximity?

[spice elk]

ambient spawners do proximity, GM spawners dont care, it was mentioned a couple times already

[young hamlet]

Ohhh...gotcha. Sorry, man. I must have missed that or been confused. Appreciate it.

[spice elk]

ambient spawners are for workbench

[young hamlet]

Yeah, I did read that convo. a couple days ago and was somewhat confused. Either way, is the Z's going inactive after x number of spawns not a bug, lol? Not to be a dick, but it would seem so. Appreciated, either way, man. I appreciate all the work you do for the community.

[spice elk]

it might be but nobody has sent me a repro yet

[quasi pendant]

Idk if you answered this for me already but wdym by repro

[spice elk]

Any thoughts so far? I've made it to choose point closest instead of random today

[spice elk]

#1110586149740748890 message

[quasi pendant]

Thanks didn’t see that it got buried

[analog fox]

My guys are absolutely loving it. We are forced (not really) to stay together and attack single OBJs rather than just HOPING everyone sticks together.

Not much I could offer to add to it, Pretty perfect as is. No bugs found yet

[spice elk]

What kind of player counts? I worry for a lot of players one obj would be not enough

[analog fox]

Running 16 slots currently, maxed out and didn't have an issue.

Maybe open 2 OBJs to attack? Could help mitigate the worries of the larger PvE servers

[spice elk]

Ok i think this is great for like 30 i might look into scaling it later based on player count

[analog fox]

Yeah! Most run their servers around 32-42 players.

I also spoke to Gramps, and he tested the mod and likes it.

[spice elk]

My objective here is to help server performance in regards to AI counts

[analog fox]

And it hits the mark!

[spice elk]

just posting this here since people do not seem to understand the mod

[fast rapids]

surprised there isn't a "bug in vanilla reforger" outcome

[proper bane]

lol pin this bro

[left ore]

this is way too real....

[spice elk]

I forgot to add "are you on xbox in singleplayer?" -> "yes" -> "dont use the mod"

[sharp wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-real-true-fact-checked-fact-gif-6343207587503842551

[left ore]

damn... but true, most of the issues I get with my stuff comes from Xbox people. I've never even been able to replicate some of them

[spice elk]

Idk what yours are but yeah

[left ore]

almost like the game behaves completely different when you are on Xbox huh

[spice elk]

Mods cant save files on Xbox so loadout editor no worky. Other than that its the same.

[sharp wigeon]

Xbox just says “Lets make your mods not work today” sometimes, I use my PC mostly but when I’m playing casually I will hop on my Xbox, and end up having to sit for 2 hours watching my mods redownload, because 1 mod refused to update and won’t delete😂

[spice elk]

Thats not a mod problem its a game problem

[sharp wigeon]

I know, I was just saying Xbox with mods is generally just more unstable within the actual workshop, ignoring the actual issues in game 😅

[spice elk]

Outside of some select things like files or http requests its the same

[left ore]

mainly talking about begone only working on high settings on console. also sometimes imputs get stuck on console for some reason. doesn't happen on PC with a controller

[spice elk]

That bgone thing makes me wheeze

[quasi pendant]

Should probably change to bug is most likely caused by another mod

[pale coral]

That's exactly what he put?

Hi dear bacon!
I have a question about your BaconWeather addon:
If i add the addon to my mission, i have only your presets in the Weater Editor tab.
Is this normal?

[spice elk]

dont think so, if it works different from arland or everon then it means you are setting it up different from arland or everon

[pliant jasper]

I haven't found it yet on my island, although it has the same weather system as the other islands.

[lament spruce]

For the load out mod , is there a way to disable loading and saving of loadouts?

[spice elk]

delete arsenals

[lament spruce]

ill take that as a no

[spice elk]

in the mod itself no

[orchid frost]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/628B48364AFD286C-GM Editable Intel

Does this work?

Added it to the server but can’t find it in any of the categories but I’ve missed stuff before so wanted to make sure before removing it

[molten torrent]

It does

When you use edit Intel it brings up a text box and you type in it

[bold leaf]

it works. We use it on our server to leave mostly derogatory notes about members' moms

[kindred cradle]

its in the system category, I dont think you can search for it because there isnt a language file atm

[orchid frost]

Weird I can’t seem to find it I’ll delete maybe a mod that’s conflicting with me finding it in systems

[blazing sentinel]

I thought there was a delete the loadouts by the global settings in GM? (Or admin)

[formal swallow]

That’s a vanilla feature in GM

[pure pilot]

Hello, I have a question about the ZU (the anti-aircraft turret)
Do AI's actually hit helis with them? I tried in my server and AI doesnt seem to be able to follow the choppers... Im doing something wrong?

[spice elk]

AI sucks with all turrets right now, they get some weird tunnel vision and become useless

[young hamlet]

For what it's worth, and while the AI generally do suck, I have most certainly watched them shoot down helicopters and at ground units with both the ground and vehicle mounted guns. They seem to work best for me, however, if you don't give them orders. My two cents.

[quasi pendant]

I bet you can’t fix it

[spice elk]

I don't have access to the engine so no I can not

[quasi pendant]

Reforger's AI: "Enemy , spotted south, 200meters"

Me: giving the order to the AI to shoot enemy

Still Reforger's AI: "Enemy, spotted, south, 200 meters NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE"

Ifiak the M249 does something similar in vanilla AR so maybe it might not be too hard to do

[proper bane]

Sometimes they don’t even shoot at enemies without giving them orders to!! Before the AI overhaul the one AI modifier from Enfusion was PEAK, I wonder if it’s still useable

Thanks

Is there a separate thread for your ravage mod

[spice elk]

no

[spice elk]

bugs can be reported in my discord

pairing tutorial for drone mod test

[glass dirge]

Really neat, is the replication bubble still an issue?

[spice elk]

perhaps not relevant because its transferring your consciousness to the entity

although maybe relevant since going too far away from player entity might despawn the player lol, I should probably do a maximum range so it never leaves replication bubble

[glass dirge]

I really hope that whole system is reworked when mortars are added, rather than just making an exception for certain projectiles. In any case the drone is super cool, excited to see where it goes

[spice elk]

sooo replication bubble is tied to the active camera, so it should follow the drone rather than be at the player

[glass dirge]

Ohhh, makes sense. Wouldn't AI appear frozen from the drones perspective if that weren't the case? At least ones outside of the player's bubble

[spice elk]

if they are outside the bubble you dont see them

[proven grail]

Server stress testi is working ?

[spice elk]

yes

[sleek tusk]

Wait… I love you?

[pale coral]

You are making me relive back when you first teased your v1 drone

[spice elk]

had interstellar music playing on loop the whole time doing this so far

[spice elk]

here are some stress test results #reforger_servers message

[proven grail]

Hmm, I'm going to test it only and the mod map, I'm trying to make it run with some mods and nothing happens after 60 seconds and not even the button in the tool bar appears

[spice elk]

I only do it like mod description says, no players on the server and no other mods other than admin tools sometimes for stats

[proven grail]

dont work with map mods so... ?

[spice elk]

it has a scenario for the test

[proven grail]

ohhhh, I forgot that, sorry for my stupid

the max score is 100 ?

[spice elk]

I don't think there is a max

[proven grail]

ok, thanks, Last question, would you know how to "read" the result to know if it was satisfactory or not or so I can know if it will meet my needs? Or do you have any documentation?

[spice elk]

you can compare with the ones I posted in #reforger_servers

if you have the same CPU but get different results then it might be worth looking into differences in the setup
