General Discussion (dev branch)

[petek 62]

Is the armed prowler broken in Dev? Can't get in to the front MG gunner seat (shows 2 "gunner" positions selectable - did it used to show "commander"?? Also the actual gunner MG wont fire.

 

Can anyone verify please?

 

cheers

V-44X Vehicle Transport is unable to load vehicles in-game any more.  You can still load the vehicles via Eden editor though.

Hm? I can load a Marshal into a V-44 in-game. Speaking of, Marshal with slat armor shouldn't be loaded in V-44. Is this possible with the current game engine?

If you mean the tank cannons, then yeah that's intentional to avoid wonky physx issues.

Sad news. Let's hope they find some answer to this problem or we can shoot enemy tank through a wall.

Well, it won't happen in Arma 3, that much is confirmed. You can still shoot an enemy tank through a wall though.

Anyone cares to comment on this (I'm not on DEV) ?

Tweaked: Fuel capacities of land vehicles are now more consistent across the sandbox

 

Does that mean "reduced" fuel capacity to be in line with the actual scale of official terrains? :hope:

[2nd ranger 282]

Radio text is all messed up today. Messages like "2 - Halt2 - Halt" when telling an AI to stop, and his reply looks like "CopyCopy". Custom SideRadio text is also duplicated, but is inserted in the middle of the message, e.g. a message that should read "Alpha, seize the town!" comes out as "Alpha, Seize the "Alpha, Seize the town!"

That would be nice, it has always bugged me that Fuel consumption has no effect on gameplay at all.

2 sided sword, in ArmA II is was hard to drive an UAZ twice across the map....it was empty after 30km. While tanks practically never ran out of fuel.

The key factor here by should be consumption under different circumstaces as a limiting factor, not just less capacity to hide that consumtion all the same across all plattforms.

with the tweaks of restitution and surfaceFriction in CfgSurfaces can we please get them documented:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgSurfaces_Config_Reference#restitution
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgSurfaces_Config_Reference#surfaceFriction

 

 

 

these in cfgWorlds would be also nice to get - preferably with algorithm details:

minObjInTownSquare = 1.4;
minTreesInForestSquare = 3;
minRocksInRockSquare = 2;
minHillsAltitude = 80;
maxHillsAltitude = 450;

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgWorlds_Config_Reference#M

 

 

 

similar for the map parameters currently tweaked

ptsPerSquareTxt = 500;
ptsPerSquareFor = 15;
ptsPerSquareForEdge = 15;
ptsPerSquareRoad = 6;
ptsPerSquareMainRoad = 6;
ptsPerSquareObj = 15;
ptsPerSquareObjLod1 = 2;
ptsPerSquareForLod1 = 4;
ptsPerSquareForLod2 = 1;
ptsPerSquareRoadSimple = 1;
ptsPerSquareMainRoadSimple = 1;

 

 

what is the cfgWeaponsHandling/Recoil/kickVisual tweak about? and the tweaks in cfgCameraShake (would be great to see both root classes also documented/get the engine source comments):

 

 

thank you

I want a script command that adjusts fuel consumption. If we can RTB to refuel after every each of CAS Mission, this would be nice.

We tweaked the fuel capacities while reworking the tank PhysX configuration. This is bringing other vehicles in line. Because for whatever reason previously the fuel played only a little role we couldn't change it as much as we'd like to. But in a long mil-sim scenario (talking about e.g. 2-3h sessions) you should definitely feel the difference.

First is basically a bounciness of the surface (how much will PhysX objects bounce off the surface). The second one is for the wheeled vehicles and it's basically the surf. part of http://docs.nvidia.com/gameworks/content/gameworkslibrary/physx/guide/Manual/Vehicles.html#tire-friction-on-drivable-surfaces (with the fact that A3 doesn't use different tire sets at all)

I'm sorry, I can't help with that atm.

Probably just a part of it has got into the dev-branch. The work is only at the start. It's more of an investigation of what all is possible with what we currently have. The overall goal will be to add a better feeling to the weapon fire. As usual - it may fail, nothing's confirmed, everything's possible.

This class affects all camera shakes in the game (weapon fire, nearby fire, nearby explosion, hit, g-forces, damaged vehicle (you know this from AFM helicopters)). Caliber coef., for example, say how much the shake will be affected by weapon caliber. But since you can configure shake per each ammo this isn't needed if you're ready to do the work.

It would be nice to have a command to influence fuel consumption.

[Beagle 684]

A Question just for clarification.

Curretly (1.80) and in future (1.82): Is fuel consumption in any way related to engine rpm and workload, or it it just running time?

I havent seen any notes about consumption changes (only fuel capacity levels) - so i would say it's save to assume it works the same as it did before. Which is: Workload does not exist, throttle has no influence, its purely rpm and time based (based on my tests in the past) for tankX and by extension likely also carX.

I noticed that the Black Wasp II (non-stealth) can't equip DAGRs or Scalpels (whereas the Wipeout can). Would be nice to have those options available...

[fn_Quiksilver 1636]

Anyone on dev build can confirm this as a global issue and not just me?

 

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T127774

 

execute this and tell me what happens:

 

_actionID = player addAction ["Hello world",{systemchat 'hi';}];
systemChat str _actionID;
systemChat str (player actionParams _actionID);

 

[lonewolf96 44]

Doesnt appear that the DAGRs and other anti ground/anti tank missile is able to lock on when mounted on the Hellcat and the pawnee? a bit disappointing in my opinion.

Hi there!
Thanks for the catch, we will look at that.
