G's Mods

[drowsy temple]

Hello! Welcome to my post! Here, I will showcase my current and future Arma Reforger mods as they are created and uploaded publicly to the Reforger workshop. Feel free to use this space for feedback regarding any mods I create. Thank you. 🙂

This mod is compatible with FPTR as well.

[strange heron]

Does the mod work with the "BTR-80" one?

[drowsy temple]

As it stands, no. The mod is an extension of the vanilla BTR-70 mod. If there is a GOOD btr-80 mod out there that is high enough quality and popular enough to even warrant spending time on, then I might do it. No promises.

[native inlet]

This is gonna be fun

[strange heron]

There is one, that uses the BMP-1V turrent, while using the BTR-70 chassis

[native inlet]

Yea its a good one

[drowsy temple]

That's still a BTR-70. Well, the hull is. If the quality of the mod is to my liking, I might do it. I'll put it on the backburner

[native inlet]

I have a small video of me using in action but its just me shooting at an enemy with the 30mm

Do you wanna see it?

[drowsy temple]

go for it.

[drowsy temple]

News:
After discussion with others, there might be a change of the Mountable BTR mod becoming an override mod rather than its own prefab, thus allowing for any mods that inherited from the Base BTR70 form vanilla to have access to the seating arrangements as well.

[native inlet]

Why are there bushes on the BTR

[dense cypress]

Bushes are the usual way for concealment on a vehicle

[twilit brook]

Do you have a mod installed that adds bushes to the btr??

[native inlet]

no i dont thinm

[drowsy temple]

G's Mountable BTR-70
(2.0.0+ Update!) The mod is an override mod now of the BTR70_Base prefab. This override mod adds hull-mountable seats to the top of the vanilla BTR-70 hull. It should be compatible with any existing BTR mods, im happy to say, even the BTR-80A mod :). This mod is my take on the seating arrangments that I personally would want on vehicles in Arma Reforger. If troops can mount on top of BTRs all around the world IRL, then so should we in Reforger. This addon is the first of many vehicles (vanilla and modded) that I will modify with additional seating arrangments to my heart's content (within realistic bounds, of course, we wont be having 250+ troops ride on top of a normal armored vehicle).
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/617A2E90EA218AC4-GsMountableBTR-70

[drowsy temple]

Now, yes.

[strange heron]

Tyyy

[dusty gale]

nah, make it so there's a seat on each of the wheels so there's just some idiot spinning around while going into combat

[drowsy temple]

WIP

[native inlet]

Beautiful

[dense cypress]

Ah yes the BTR Berezhok

[dusty gale]

btr-90?

[native inlet]

It doesnt have to make sense its beautiful its in own way
just like gup

[drowsy temple]

yes, a "btr-90" of sorts, but ill just call the mod btr-90

working to make the commander camera working.

[dusty gale]

are you gonna use any of the rhs TV screens in it or no

[drowsy temple]

i will, that will be untouched

[dusty gale]

where you gonna put em? infront of the commander seat?

[drowsy temple]

no, the commander camera that already exists on top of the main turret

[dusty gale]

ok

[strange heron]

It uses the BMP-2 Turret?

[drowsy temple]

Bezerok turret from the k17 from rhs, but yeah, pretty much a bmp-2 turret

Speaking of the BTR-90, very close to releasing, finally

And, i got the commander sight working as well

I might make my own version of the bmp-2

[strange heron]

[strange heron]

Will the commander be able to control any guns? Like an MG or sum

[drowsy temple]

no, commander only controls commander camera. gunner controls the main turret

[mental aurora]

Nice

[drowsy temple]

All that's left really is to make these vehicles placeable in game master, and then it'll be good to go to be uploaded as a mod on the workshop

This is the lowest variant, just 'BTR-90'

[mental aurora]

Nice

[drowsy temple]

Progress on getting the vehicles made as placeable entities in gamemaster

[drowsy temple]

G's BTR-90
Release! This mod uses the BTR-70 hull along with the BMP-2 turret from RHS Status Quo!
Note: Compatible with my Mountable BTR-70 mod (#1245863375917944893 message) as well as FPTR and PIPTR by Seskel!
Enjoy!:)

[keen bone]

Hey man maybe I’m just blind but how do you actually get on the back of the btr I can’t seem to figure it out

[drowsy temple]

Do you have this mod installed?
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/617A2E90EA218AC4

you have to look at the spots on the hull of the btr where the seatings spots are

[keen bone]

Yes I’m on Xbox so I’m not sure what’s wrong

[drowsy temple]

make sure it's enabled in your workshop @keen bone

[drowsy temple]

G's Fix Vehicle Interior Sounds
New mod! This mod will be continuously updated with new vehicle overrides that I deem to have too muffled of a vehicle interior and little to no ability to be able to hear other players talk.
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61A6374EF871C0E3-GsFixVehicleInteriorSounds
No dependencies, this mod should account for most popular vehicles in the near future this or next month. Requests are welcome and I'll try to make the changes as needed.
Enjoy.

[stable karma]

My members were somehow able to grab these from the BTR 90 and use them by hand lol

[real basalt]

https://youtu.be/HO5r8Xc-ggw

[drowsy temple]

The turret and its components are from RHS Status Quo @real basalt @stable karma

[real basalt]

I gotcha so its RHS side of things

I see, does it on the K17 as well

[stable karma]

ah i see

[mossy agate]

The mod makes all of the btr’s disappear from the GM menu

[drowsy temple]

yep, it seems to be ultimately broken....

[drowsy temple]

Work will be underway to fix the mountable mod within these next few days. apologies for the delay since 1.2 update

[drowsy temple]

yep, current version of the mod makes the base prefab override disapear from existence, making all other btrs dissapear

gonna remake it from scratch with my saved file of existing coordinates

[dense pewter]

You don't have to make everything from scratch. You can open your prefab in text view, find SRC_BaseComponent... and delete all its lines. Before this, do not open the old prefab in the engine.

[drowsy temple]

Work is underway today, however, I have run into an issue where the compartment is "obstructed"

Switching seats works fine, however

[drowsy temple]

fixed, we ballin

forecasted fix update within 2 hours max
@mossy agate

[drowsy temple]

Mountable BTR mod is back in working condition for 1.2. Enjoy!
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/617A2E90EA218AC4-GsMountableBTR-70

[true sage]

YES

[mossy agate]

https://tenor.com/view/woah-surprised-shocked-gif-14419083

[strange heron]

I'm pretty sure you're aware of this but, the BTR-90s have no turret

[drowsy temple]

I'm aware, i'll get to it eventually.

gotta remake the mod from scratch anyways

[drowsy temple]

Work has started to get btr-90 back in working order.

[true sage]

SWEET

[drowsy temple]

Slight delay, having trouble with getting the turret compartments to be accessible again with the new updated workbench

[rapid cypress]

I bet it’s a doorinfo list issue edit actually nevermind .

[gray python]

this is the best response as a developer to explain how difficult shit truly is

[drowsy temple]

good news!

I will be updating mod soon with working btr90

It will have working gunner seat (ill get to commander later), there will only be the default green version for now, ill get to making the other faction variants later as well

@autumn oxide @keen forum

[drowsy temple]

Back in business

BTR-90 mod is back in working condition for 1.2. Enjoy!
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/618C2492CC62D0D5

[drowsy temple]

Post BTR-90 clips from your servers whenever! 🙂

[clever badger]

Some nice screenshots with it(two more will probably be on the way)

[dusty gale]

for whatever reason i think its funny that its just a BMP-2/M turret plonked onto a BTR-70

[clever badger]

Last screenshot I took

[drowsy temple]

@clever badger Sick!!!!

[dusty lion]

Didn’t the BTR 90 have a larger hull?

[dusty gale]

it has an entirely different hull

it looks more like a BMP-1/2 hull with wheels instead of tracks

[pliant pike]

could probably add sloped armor over the front of the BTR-70 front to make it look the same

[opal jungle]

Also jack the suspension up

Current BTR-90 is too low to the ground

[drowsy temple]

I'll look into making the btr-90 a little taller

[dusty gale]

@drowsy temple at a later date, could you do this?

[true sage]

YES

[normal heron]

its on the more modern btr chassis. there is way more than just the ufp, and overall size. i recommend not editing the hull at all. tactical flava is working on a BTR 82 that has the same hull. once that is released, just use it instead.

[drowsy temple]

BMP-1 is moving! 😉

[rapid cypress]

btw you usuauly only have to remove the _SA from the wheeledsimulation component in a text editor to fix that part

I also redid the whole thing once before i knew that 😂

[drowsy temple]

damn... any tips and tricks on fixing the bmp turret and weapons?

any text editor string removal?\

[rapid cypress]

what i would do is go into the turret file with a text editor and remove the whole basecomparment mananger component and copy it somewhere else. then reimport the turret in game and manually redo the basecomparment manager in game

If the weapons dont appear its probably because that weaponanimation component got duplicated so just disable one

[drowsy temple]

status update on bmp1!

[pliant pike]

Snub nosed BMP-1 lol

[drowsy temple]

cannon is working!

@rapid cypressBIG BIG thanks for the tips and tricks!

[bitter osprey]

Yessss bring my baby back

Can you also allow us to sit on top of it like the btr

[drowsy temple]

i will add those seats on this mod, yes

[bitter osprey]

I think I love you man just made my day

[drowsy temple]

it will come later though, I want to just get his mod out first

[bitter osprey]

Yea I just wanna see this again what’s next after this the m113?

[drowsy temple]

that's the plan

[dusty gale]

if you do that, when the mod fully releases, could you put the shoot from vehicle seats on it?

[bitter osprey]

I think that rhs mod lets you shoot from any vehicle

[dusty gale]

yeah thats the mod im talking about

[bitter osprey]

I think if you just download it you can shoot from the Vic’s I don’t think modders need to put it on Vics

[dusty gale]

you do

[drowsy temple]

I will try to do it on the btr as well

[dusty gale]

sweet

[dusty gale]

the only vics that have it are humvees and UAZs, nothing else

[bitter osprey]

Helicopters to rhs said it works on every Vic

[dusty gale]

well it obviously doesnt, since none of the helicopters have the seats

[soft night]

it does and its not an rhs mod its a dev from rhs that is making it and he posted shooting from helis in pics

[dusty gale]

i know its not an official RHS mod but just made by one of their guys

[warped hamlet]

Yea it works with the helicopter I saw someone testing it

[bitter osprey]

What’s the mod called

[dusty gale]

so where is the prompt to shoot from the hueys?

[drowsy temple]

BMP-1 mod is fixed, in the process of uploading it

[autumn oxide]

Legend

[drowsy temple]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/620B2EB0CF465B78-GsBMP-1Fix

[bitter osprey]

It crashes every time you spam so in it

[drowsy temple]

spam what in it?

[bitter osprey]

Spawn ai

I thought it was something conflicted so I deleted mods and did it with only the bmp installed and it crashed again

[soft night]

same it does not work

[bitter osprey]

Just when we were at the finish line I was ready to roll them out to 😂

[drowsy temple]

Seems that AI with the vehicle is something I have not looked at, will have to dig around in the AI components of the vehicle

[rapid cypress]

It’s probably the vehicleanmiation component causes the crashes

The old empty.agf file setup doesn’t work anymore . I used the btr70s agf and empty asi

That issue somehow makes it so that it won’t crash in the workbench but in game it will crash when getting Into the vic

[drowsy temple]

Mod shouldnt cause the game to crash now!

[bitter osprey]

With the bmp 1 is there a reason why it drives slower

[rapid cypress]

Slower than?

[drowsy temple]

these are the default values of the pre-1.2 bmp

[soft night]

i agree it do feels and drive slower when it first came out

the guys in the game were talking about it we had t-72s and the other bmps pass it while the bmp 1 was still slowly coming

[bitter osprey]

For instance before the crash it drove a lil fast but now it always drive like your going up a hill

[drowsy temple]

is this in this current version todaY?

i fixed the shifting issue last night with an update, so the character automatically shifts gears at the right rpm

[drowsy temple]

what other bmp's are you referring to

chances are you guys were driving only on first gear or something

[bitter osprey]

Yea I’ll check but I thought console automatically shift for you

[soft night]

bmp 3

[drowsy temple]

bmp-1 was probably just in first gear, still my hypothesis

[bitter osprey]

This what I got yesterday night but imma check the gear shift

[drowsy temple]

yep, i fixed the issue after that video of yours

[soft night]

what was it was it suck in a gear shift ?

[drowsy temple]

the component for rpm values of when the player automatically shifts the gears for you was not configured at the time

[drowsy temple]

This will be a separate mod that overrides the bmp-1 and other future vehicles to have viewports, all in one mod

only dependency of the mod will be RHS status quo

[gray python]

finally

[drowsy temple]

Work being done on M1A1, T-72, and Stryker Periscopes rn

[drowsy temple]

I will do my best to add periscopes to all spots that have periscope windows actually facing out

[drowsy temple]

G's Vehicle Periscopes
New mod released! This mod adds periscopes to recent spacestrider vehicle fix mods, and others in the future as well based on community feedback!
Your first-person-locked milsim groups can enjoy the BMP-1, T-72, Stryker, and Abrams (+ more to come) without the need to enable third-person for the drivers.
Enjoy!
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/620D239ED2B0BFAC-GsVehiclePeriscopes

[gray python]

you thought about fixing the BMP-2 / BMP-1 hybrid?

Was a mod forgot who made it but he pulled the K-17 B's BMP Turret and slapped it on a BMP-1 chasis.

[bitter osprey]

Can you get the m113 up and running

[drowsy temple]

I've been planning on doing this, yes.

[autumn oxide]

That be godly

[unreal solar]

would this require RHS?

[drowsy temple]

yes, the turret is from rhs

[pliant pike]

bmp2 yay

[fossil bone]

Is the Ot-90 going to return too?

[smoky drum]

BMP-2M*

[dusty lion]

Hell yeah

[dusty gale]

do you think you could put some type of armored plate infront of the 2 windows to further resemble a BTR-90?

[drowsy temple]

that would be pretty tough, id have to do work on blender, which I have no knowledge of, really

[dusty gale]

ok

[gray python]

By chance do you know how to make scenarios?
There is a map on the workshop called Mazaevo, and it has no scenarios on it.
Would you know how to make a GM scenario for that?

[drowsy temple]

Im not too well knowledged on that, im sure you can ask around and look up tutorials online no problem!

[strange arrow]

there are biwiki links that tell you how to do this, presumably under terrain creation. if you have a pc and want it done badly, you should do it yourself 🙂

[unreal solar]

I am excited

[gray python]

I might give it a shot, i've done modding in arma 3 making maps and stuff i just haven't dipped into Reforger in that section yet.

Honestly i've been thinking about putting the BTR-4 in reforger i just need a good suited model.

[strange arrow]

never modded a3 but i can tell you reforger workbench is 10x easier

[gray python]

i would hope so. arma 3 made me lose my sanity countless times

Wouldnt even tell me where it went wrong, it just wouldnt work.
I made a firearms pack for my server along with that some vehicles, First try? none of them loaded gave me a lua error that basically said in short "Hi yeah not working sorry :((" so i had to go back and figure out why the game couldnt recognise it to figure i forgot to put a . between some lines

As for reforger it looks like i can preview the content alongside what i'm modifying which would be nice instead of just typing some coord locations and hoping the turret is in the right spot

[strange arrow]

if you have other qustions just dm me, dont want to fill up ghps modding thread
you will still definitely lose your sanity, maybe just a little less? i think it just comes with the territory
anyways here is the atlas: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1viZSm7OquK8vhahskP0Bthy9uQufmz2PA01g1SHzFd0/edit#heading=h.eibqp72726mw
i think there is a BIwiki article about adding a GM scenario, but the wiki can be hard to navigate and i couldnt find it myself, so this doc should have it anyways

[gray python]

I'm probably not gonna start modding reforger vehicles untill i get the model i'm after.

[dusty lion]

Goes hard

[drowsy temple]

G's BMP-2
Released! Enjoy!
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/62130E0C2E87F944-GsBMP-2

[drowsy temple]

BTR-70 light emitters aren't exactly centered, unplayable. where refund

[grave rain]

Why can my humvee drive for more than 10 minutes without running out of fuel or breaking down!??!?!
L Game, unrealistic

[rapid cypress]

Turn off the increased fuel usage

[drowsy temple]

i believe he is being sarcastic/making a joke lol

[dusty gale]

so thats why theyve looked so weird all this time

[raven forum]

Any idea why the BMP-1Fix is causing this error, crashing my server?
17:56:26.640 ENGINE (W): Can't add filesystem directory "C:/Users/Name/Documents/My Games/ArmaReforgerServer/addons/GsBMP-1Fix_620B2EB0CF465B78/"

[raven forum]

d/r this

[drowsy temple]

maybe corrupt mod? reinstall it?

[raven forum]

Was the BTR-80A I was also trying to add, that was the cause

[drowsy temple]

👍

[strange arrow]

comrad mention

we love to see it

[drowsy temple]

[halcyon latch]

Pizza

[drowsy temple]

Hey everyone, just checking in, any issues or reports for my mods?

[opal jungle]

No

[drowsy temple]

Been away from reforger and gaming life as I'm busy with college lately. Bit ill hop on and fix what's needed as reported. cheers 🙂

[opal jungle]

Though I keep forgetting to install them

I'll let you know if I find something

[crisp wind]

I had some issues where I would place troops in the btr90 and there would be a few floating on the side off

I'll try to recreate it for you and post the screen cap

Disgard. It's striders bmp3 mod

[drowsy temple]

copy. cheers

[naive flicker]

For the BMP-1 mod, do I also have to have spacestriders BMP-1 installed?

[clever badger]

Not G, but Iirc you do not

[naive flicker]

Awesome, thanks!

[drowsy temple]

Negative.

[naive flicker]

[north nimbus]

Is there any chanse BMP mods will be udated?

[valid osprey]

Hello punk.

Was just wondering if you were gonna come back to fix ya mods

[opal jungle]

Hey @drowsy temple idk if you stopped modding or not but if you didn't, any chance we could see an update to the roof-riding BTR mod to maybe include more seats or something?

[drowsy temple]

https://tenor.com/view/walk-in-angry-walk-in-angry-gif-13889037

mountable btr-70 is being worked on / fixed. had a big modding hiatus

[clever badger]

Holy cinema

[drowsy temple]

once that's done, aiming for m113 and bmp-1 as mountable vehicles

[drowsy temple]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/617A2E90EA218AC4-GsMountableBTR-70
Updated for 1.6

[feral basin]

dose these top slots also work for AI characters?

[drowsy temple]

correct

[drowsy temple]

New mod: G's Improved Mi-8
This mod aims to make the mi-8 fly more like its real-world counterpart. Not the final product, of course, tweaks will be made over time.
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/68713B3772257C6A-GsImprovedMi-8

[sinful basalt]

I've been attempting to fix your BTR-90 mod or recreate it myself and im struggling hard man.

[drowsy temple]

lots of trial and error. ill get to it eventually

[gilded sage]

Armored?

[drowsy temple]

seems so. it's on the vanilla aircraft.

[drowsy temple]

In the works starting now

[drowsy temple]

New Mods
I've created a UH-1H flight model mod, as well as a Flight Model Pack that tracks current and future flight model mods and changes.

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/68832C4B647EFB27-GsUH-1HIroquoisFlightModel
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/68846A953735DF39-GsFlightModelPack

[drowsy temple]

Updated Uh-1 to 1.1.0:

• Made the bird pitch/roll faster

[midnight magnet]

Hey with the MI-8 any reason why its now forcing mouse control with the mod? It really sucks.

[drowsy temple]

Thanks for reaching out. I'll have a fix in later today to remove that. Mouse control for flying is something that can be enabled in the user's game settings, it was enabled originally in the mod just to help with testing with how I fly the aircraft myself, but i didn't turn it off before publishing

[bronze finch]

yo dude, saw your mi8 mod was updated, is it any less acrobatic than earlier versions? (big fan of the cruising altitude barrel rolls btw)

[full cape]

Why does the mi8 feel horrible? Its so twitchy, spins out of control at the start, collective down is delayed?

[drowsy temple]

Mi-8 1.1.5 update: Inertia values were altered to better represent roll and pitch speed seen from videos in DCS and IRL air shows
https://youtu.be/EdDGBGvn7BU

[drowsy temple]

spinning out of control at start: dont pull the collective up when the aircraft is spooling up, better yet, push the collective down. spool up time is 60 seconds
collective down: max safe downward descent is around 3 m/s, but I made it a bit faster more so 8 m/s i think. Vanilla flightmodels make it like 20 or such? Take a look at Vortex Ring State online

[full cape]

How about the constant barrel roles? Let me see if I can post the clip.

[drowsy temple]

i think i know how to fix that, ill take care of it this weekend

[keen palm]

Is the BTR-90 updated to 1.6?

[drowsy temple]

@keen palm ive been dabbling. using Trace's bmp-2 fix turret this time around

[drowsy temple]

Turret is all thanks to Trace's Zagoria BMP-2 Fix mod

[drowsy temple]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/618C2492CC62D0D5-GsBTR-90

[sinful basalt]

Is there anyway you can do two BTR-90 mods? one that reverts back to the previous version without the WZ dependency? cause that was RHS +1mb total and this ones an extra 134mb now. I'm not going to be able to get any RHS servers to add it anymore
