CBA - Community Base Addons - ARMA 3

[vipermaul 246]

CBA v3.4.0 Released

*** WARNING  ***

With this release version...

ALL CUSTOM ADDON KEYBINDS WILL BE RESET TO DEFAULT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE LONG AWAITED

MOUSE and MULTI KEYBIND SUPPORT FEATURES.

 

 

This version improves the keybinding system and adds support for multiple keybinds per action as well as the ability to bind mouse buttons. The debug console can be expanded to watch expressions and variables on any connected machine. There is now the possibility to name groups in the lobby.

Your old keybindings will not carry over to this new version, because of the changed save format. You will have to rebind all addon keybindings.

Strange. Investigating. Thanks.

[vipermaul 246]

I have just refreshed the STEAM files. They look good now.

Please confirm on your end.

Community Base addons A3 v3.4.0.170627

[Sgt.Makarov 17]

Hey, after the latest update I am unable to use combinations of Left/Right Control and Left/Right shift, I don't mean Lcontrol + Lshift + Q, but something I actually used like Rshift+Rcontrol (without anything after those keys) to check the wind in ace. I hope it is a bug so it gets fixed because that and many other similar key combos are stuck in me and will be hard to change up for something else. Thanks in advance :)

[sammael 366]

A lot of addon maker say - Control btn is very bugy-hardcoded in arma 3 engine. Better don`t use  this btn for custom addon keybind 

[JohnKalo 657]

Hey Guys,

 

With cba enabled I can no longer connect to drones and most importantly tasks do not work. By do not work I mean that they are created but they cannot be completed!!!

Please fix this issue as soon as possible because other addons have cba as a requirement and this cba issue is of major concern.

 

Best Regards

 

And I am not the only one having such issues. Online gaming friends have got the same ones.

[lawndartleo 109]

What tasks?  Are you using a particular mission that generates tasks?

 

I updated our dedicated server and everyone updated via Steam.  We had no issues (ACE and ALiVE are primary mods).

I don't understand posts like this. It would be so easy to make a sample mission with CBA only, with a drone and a task and post it here to be looked at. Why does somebody else have to do the work for you? People are busy and do this for free.

 

Make a sample mission and a proper bug report. You can get this all done in like 10 minutes and maybe even have your problem fixed. Everybody wins that way.

Tasks in some of our own missions and tasks in general. I went to the editor and placed some simple module tasks. Played the mission and the tasks were created but could not be completed. I disabled cba, restarted the game and did the same thing. The tasks worked. The same happened with the UAVs.

It is not one mission that has this issue. Its every mission we created in the editor. I posted my report here because I believed this was a universal issue. Other mods we use are Advanced Repelling, Advanced Urban Reppeling and ASR AI3. They don't seem to have anything to do with the situation.

Do you know exactly how those other mods work? Otherwise I wouldn't say that if I were you. ;)

 

Make an almost empty test mission that can be quickly loaded with only CBA and post it on the GitHub Issue Tracker, then someone will take a look (if you can indeed reproduce it like that).

Most likely ASR AI causing it. Try disabling incognito in settings. Version 1.1.1 has it disabled by default.

Of course I could reproduce it like that. Why would I post so otherwise?

You were right!!!! It was the ASR AI mod. Incognito being disabled patched things up!!!!

 

Thanks EVERYONE

You'd be surprised by how many reports are made without even thinking that. :D

 

Glad you got it resolved.

I apologize for this question as it is grey area between TFAR and CBA: 

 

In game ctrl+P (default TFAR radio interface multi Key function) works fine....  But macro'ed (bound multi key with 25 mili second delay) Ctrl+P is not working.... going straight to Score Board.  Is there a mili second setting that would work?  Is CBA now not compatible with macro'd multi key bindings? 

[Col. Ben Sherman 3]

So I have some issues with getting the event handlers to work, and I also get this warning in my RPT log. 

WARNING: Usage of deprecated CBA_fnc_addLocalEventHandler

If I run my server locally the event handlers fires up, but if I run my server on my dedicated box the event handlers aren't running at all

["CAManBase", "Hit", {_this call test_fnc_handleHit;}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;
test_fnc_handleHit only contains a simple hint function to see if it's working or not

Anyone got any ideas whats wrong with it?

[commy2 188]

@ Col. Ben Sherman

The warning has nothing to do with what you're doing. "Hit" either only runs on the shooters or the targets machine. Can't remember. Maybe you add it on the wrong machine or expect it to work on one that doesn't qualify the locality conditions.

 

lol @ helicopterenthusiast

Sure was CBA.

"macro'd multi key binding" ??

[nidhoggac 13]

Looks like CBA broken Incontinentia's Effects Mod and some other mod. I can't resume a mission or load in mission if both CBA and Effects Mod be enabled. In other case, save file disappear after player dead and exit mission. The Incontinentia's Effects Mod is worked well when alone. Can you check it?

[commy2 188]

No, but you could upload a RPT file that maybe gives an indication what went wrong.

Sorry, this problem is about a optional pbo file of Incontinentia's Effects Mod and I fixed it now. CBA is fine,

Thank you for your answer.

Which optional file is this? Incognito?

blastcoreCompat.PBO. I used Effects Mod with Blastcore Phoenix before, and follow the guide put that pbo into  addons folder. Later I disable Blastcore but forgot to remove that optional pbo file  and make mission broken.

Also I enable "No logs" in launcher optional that doesn't show error massage ...... 

Now it is fine everything after remove that pbo file.
