CIWS (C-RAM)

[red aspen]

does it actually target inbound projectiles, or is it just a turret?

[tender spoke]

oh somebody beat me to it 😅

[dense rampart]

Testing on singleplayer gm. No other mods. It doesn't seem to track helis.
it either shoots one direction or it almost seems to lead the heli but way too much

[tender spoke]

oh that things automatic? thought it was a turret. that's pretty interesting ngl

[dense rampart]

Place in GM and it auto targets based on faction and editable properties for height and range.
But seems to be having issues tracking properly rn. For me at least

[tropic flicker]

Yeah, it doesn't target the Heli just one direction unless you fly directly above it

[dense rampart]

Yeah

[tropic flicker]

It tries too, and will turn, just not looking at the heli

[dense rampart]

Yeah. It tracks way ahead of it

[tropic flicker]

Almost looks like the ai is backwards and shoots the other way tbh

[tender spoke]

interesting... might be an ai issue ig. still pretty cool nonetheless. I've been working on a turret cram but it frankly looks pretty bad and barely works lol

[heady falcon]

AI doesnt work in turrets tbh so if this uses an AI character then it will not work

[dense rampart]

No actual soldier in it.
It's an automated placeable

[tropic flicker]

Nah it uses a script to target by the looks of things

[heady falcon]

Ah ok then there is hope

[tropic flicker]

The script is just broken but it has just come out tbf 😂

[dense rampart]

Looks good, sounds good, and I love the future of it.
just seems to need targeting/tracking work and it'll be good

[tropic flicker]

Yeah

[devout prism]

@sullen lily I would get ahold of BonBon. In the galactic forces mod he made an AA Humvee that auto tracks everything lol

[tropic flicker]

Shit is overpowered 😂

[sullen lily]

i'm still working on it
it's only uploaded to test it on a server

im aware of all those bugs xD

[devout prism]

Would be cool to have a manned version like what Naomyth was working on

I wonder if it tracks RHS F18s or the Cruise Missles

[sullen lily]

tracks everything that is a vehicle

[tender spoke]

yeah that's just an animation so I highly doubt

[devout prism]

[sullen lily]

should be fixed now

[sullen lily]

ey

[remote wadi]

Can it be destroyed? Id love to use these as AD that have to be destroyed by a forward element before aircraft can fly safely

[exotic idol]

Can you make it so there is an accuracy adjuster?

[sullen lily]

wdym

[exotic idol]

So as a Gamemaster I can place it and it’d suppress helicopters in the air instead of just beaming them instantly yk

[sullen lily]

not atm
you could make them be destructgible tho yourself i give you permission

[solemn kernel]

Can’t seem to find it on workshop is it pc only?

[red aspen]

Nothing on the workshop is pc only, it’s all cross platform

[dense rampart]

Just updated and tried it. Still doesn't target the helicopter. Shoots a single direction until I get closer, then starts rotating but not actually shooting at the helicopter

Will post a video once it uploads

[exotic idol]

It don’t wanna shoot you 🥺

[quasi pelican]

@opaque inlet oh boi it’s happening!!!!!

[heady falcon]

pvp server spawn protection lol

[minor willow]

haha

[gloomy rain]

Battlefield days

[woven kettle]

Hey, @sullen lily ! Loving the mod so far, and can’t wait to see this fully fleshed out, but I wanted to let you know that @dense rampart said it has heavy issues properly tracking a target, as in it will accurately turn both horizontally and vertically, but it aims too far to the left/right, but will still attempt to follow the player, vehicle, or AI, just in that excess tracking state. I think I may have also encountered a heavy bug. I had a vehicle placed about 200m away from the C-ram so it was targeting it, I moved it somewhere else in GM & the C-ram turned to shoot it & my game instantly crashed

[deep vale]

I’ll second this. I cannot find it in the workshop

[solemn kernel]

Well I only found it on my phone but not on my Xbox so I don’t know what’s going on

[deep vale]

Just pulled it up on my laptop now. Kinda goofy, but good to know I can find it🙌

[unborn fractal]

the tracking is fine

you have to orientate it in gm mode properly. so that it actually faces the thing its trying to shoot, once you do that the tracking will work

[tropic flicker]

Well then that's a bug lmao

[unborn fractal]

i suppose so but its not the end of the world

[tropic flicker]

So wait, I have to place it facing the helicopter I want it to shoot? Then it will shoot it?

[unborn fractal]

you kinda have to place it at an off angle

just keep placing it at different directions until it is lined up and destroys a test heli. after that its good to go for any incoming helis.

[tropic flicker]

Right okay

[tropic flicker]

Desperately needs optimising for server use, servers don't like it very much

[quasi nacelle]

i cant see it in the mod list

[hearty canyon]

Is this on the workshop

[solemn kernel]

I don’t think it’s in the workshop for Xbox as I’ve looked the workshop and can’t find it

[viral musk]

they're the same for both Xbox and PC

[solemn kernel]

Then why can’t I find it?

[viral musk]

not looking hard enough

[solemn kernel]

Have you found it?

[viral musk]

I'm on xbox and I found it just fine

[solemn kernel]

Is it just called C-RAM?

[viral musk]

you have to individually scroll through the pages, you can't search it up for some reason

[solemn kernel]

Oh okay thank you

[tender spoke]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/611F7416D7A843BD-C-RAM

[hearty canyon]

Lol this is so hard to find

[hearty canyon]

What page number on recently added is it showing up for your workshop

[hearty canyon]

Did you find it, and how?

[solemn kernel]

Filter test mods and go to recently released and keep going through the pages until you find it

[hearty canyon]

Brilliant thank you

[solemn kernel]

Ur welcome

[sullen lily]

ik and im working on it

[tropic flicker]

I love you

[quasi pelican]

these things dont like servers when we shoot back at them lmfao VERY fun to fly against

[tender spoke]

dude that's so awesome! did you happen to get a crashlog tho?

[quasi pelican]

i did but didnt save it after sending it off to BI, ill replicatreit tho

[tender spoke]

yeah get a crashlog and send it here. crashlogs contain useful info on why the server/game crashed. like what game component cause the issue so the maker of the mod can fix it

[quasi pelican]

Following files will be included in the report (if they exist):
C:/Users/garre/Documents/My Games/ArmaReforger/logs/logs_2024-05-03_13-43-12/dxDiag.txt

just that part is sufficient right?

[tender spoke]

I believe so? idk exactly where the log files are tbh

[quasi pelican]

Exception: Access violation. Illegal write by 0x7ff63ea8baa8 at 0xcf40aaf000

this was also at the bottom

[warm jackal]

I would navigate to that directory with the crash log and copy that text file here.

C:/Users/garre/Documents/My Games/ArmaReforger/logs/logs_2024-05-03_13-43-12/crash.log

We also experienced local crashing (server was fine) with the C-RAM. Attached the crash logs.

For us it would pretty much happen after it fired for sometime and then tried to re-engage a new target. If you were somewhat close to the C-RAM (even in GM) it would crash you out.

[autumn tinsel]

what mod is this?

[tender spoke]

#enf_showroom message

[quasi pelican]

should i post the console text file from the log or the error text doc??

[warm jackal]

That is more so up to the dev, so they can chime in on what they would prefer to see. Granted the console file will contain everything the server ever did, loaded etc.. Its often times not very useful unless you are looking for a specific event sequence that led to the crash. With that said, the error log is a better bet.

Though it seems like we are getting the same/similar errors.

[exotic idol]

c-ram is having tracking issues again

[rain otter]

Was this taken off the workshop?

[main gull]

Gotta have the “test mods” category selected for it to show up

[rain otter]

Thank you

[latent abyss]

I'm sure you've been told but gun seems to soot a bit away from the aircraft. it follows it but the targeting is a bit off @sullen lily

[sullen lily]

yeah i know. im currrently reworking the targeting system

[exotic idol]

How’s it going

[exotic idol]

What if you used bgones tracking and made it so you can get on a computer and select a target and the cram will track said target until it’s unselected or out of sight?

[quasi pelican]

That’s…just not how that works.

[devout prism]

I mean with scripting it could

[exotic idol]

What Kae said with scripting it is very much possible and might not even take that much extra work

[quasi pelican]

if thats the case then why havent either of you just done the work and used the CIWS as a dependancy? seems like you guys know about scripting

[exotic idol]

I’m not gonna argue with you, all I’m saying is I know it’s a possibility. If you doubt that is okay but I’m not gonna argue with you about it.

[quasi pelican]

its not an arguement lol you guys just make it sound so easy so im curious whats the hold up

[exotic idol]

I was giving an idea to the modder I’m not interested in making a mod.

[devout prism]

If YOU are so knowledgeable on scripting then why wont it work?

Few months ago, nobody wouldve thought that a mod like BGONE or the CWIS would exist and before RiverX’s Javelin (RIP), Guided Munition was not possible in any capacity

Just because it is not on the workshop as of right now or just because it sounds complicated even in a simplified explanation does not mean it’s impossible nor does it warrant the right to be condescending with no reason

[gloomy rain]

And thermals

[mossy marlin]

How do you spawn them in with game master?

@sullen lily where is it in the GM spawn menu? I can’t find it lol

[quasi pelican]

if i remember correctly it should be under the "modded section"

[mossy marlin]

Weird I can’t find it, what’s it called in-game?

[jovial grail]

why mine doesnt do anything?

k now it shoots...

but opposite direction lol

it seems they constantly aim at the exact opposite direction of the helis

like a mirror

[tropic flicker]

@jovial grail you need to calibrate them, put a helicopter into hover, then in GM rotate the gun until it hits the Heli and destroys it, then it will correctly track after that

[jovial grail]

Oooh ok I seee

[mossy marlin]

@sullen lily did you take it off the workshop?

[sullen lily]

no

[bleak heron]

Hello, the mod is available in the workshop since I don't see it on the Xbox

[tropic flicker]

@bleak heron you need to filter for test mods

[bleak heron]

It's worth it, thank you very much

[digital kettle]

Does this still work?

[exotic idol]

Did you fix it

[hoary silo]

[neat cairn]

WHAT MOD?

[quasi pelican]

what do u mean what mod?

[neat cairn]

jjet/

[quasi pelican]

LMFAO F-18

[weak yoke]

dont think its out rn though is it

[quasi pelican]

no i finished the new model and nao and i are just waiting for adam to reupload the new version of the a10 so we can get the flight physics where they should be. But alas im not trying to hijack the CWIS chat so if anyone has questions regarding Naomyths and I's planes feel free to message him or I privately or on the Team Mobius thread
