phronk 898 Posted February 21, 2019 The currently released version still uses the attachTo method, in combination with triggers. It is very unoptimized and may cause significant performance issues (FPS drops as large as 90 or more FPS lost in areas like Kavala on Altis). This will be fixed in the next update. With that said, the script currently does not support any houses that aren't from Stratis, Malden, or Altis. The next version may include some CUP and Tanoa house support. As far as when that new update is supposedly going to release, I'm still working on it but have run into an issue that may be related to the scheduler becoming overloaded and ultimately rendering [the mission] unplayable once it reaches that point; it's either a hidden bug somewhere in the code or I need to rewrite/restructure the code to further optimize it and make it more efficient (again). No release date, primarily because of this bug. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pognivet 151 Posted July 23, 2019 i like what you're trying to achieve here, but it rarely works for me. even if i set spawn chance to 100 percent and im in a small malden town i'll see maybe one or two stores that are halfway furnished (i.e. missing cash registers and other stuff) and the rest of the buildings will still be empty. the lag is immense during the furniture spawning/despawning procedure, but i don't blame you for that. it's just how arma is. regardless, i like your interior design choices and i hope that in the future you can amplify this mod to a higher state of being. i hope that you eventually decide to include the structures from the global mobilization and contact dlcs as well, for they both have many enterable structures which are devoid of furniture of any kind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZaellixA 383 Posted July 23, 2019 Wonderful work here mate. I haven't tested it, but it is something that has been missing all that time from ArmA. As I said, I haven't tested the script but I will do so as soon as possible and try to provide as much feedback as possible. We have been working on some compositions and kinda understand how difficult it is to compose them (especially when we are talking about scripts involved and creating so many with additional AI-pathing testing). That's a definite THUMBS UP and thanks a lot for sharing !!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronk 898 Posted July 23, 2019 @pognivet The major lag spike and poorly sustained FPS is due to the attachTo command. My new code removes attachTo altogether, as well as other optimizations, which greatly improve FPS and stability. I will most likely never buy Global Mobilization and therefore won't have access to the buildings to make layouts for them, but Livonia buildings absolutely! Still creating more for Altis, Malden, and Tanoa. The new version I'm working on is still being developed -- mostly adding new layouts, optimizing where I can, and working on another feature. The current released version has since been completely rewritten and the work on it is ongoing. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a bug with attachTo that was recently (last week) found and fixed. It would essentially constantly recalculate the bounding boxes multiple times, without any need. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronk 898 Posted July 24, 2019 Awesome, maybe the current version won't be so bad after all. Guess we'll find out on Thursday! The only issue I have with PF since its inception is that, regardless if the objects are simulated, disabled simulation, or simple/superSimple objects, the furniture spawns in bursts. There is also sometimes a delay of seeing the furniture pop-up and/or rotate. This only occurs on my dedicated server (Its more of a virtual server though). Singleplayer / local host works fine. Any ideas if its the scheduler due to too many objects spawning at once? Or just bad code? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dedmen 2703 Posted July 25, 2019 15 hours ago, phronk said: Any ideas if its the scheduler due to too many objects spawning at once? sounds like scheduler yes. You could put the spawn/position/rotate block into unscheduled using isNil. Just that one block! Don't put any loop into unscheduled. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 3793 Posted July 25, 2019 are you reusing spawned objects? Instead of deleting and recreating as player moves to each place, you could setpos/attach already created objects from inactive zone to active zones. would reduce obj creation/deletion. just an idea... g00d luck in this worthy endeavor. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronk 898 Posted July 25, 2019 Those are really good ideas. Also had no idea about the nil thing, will try it tonight! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devastator_cm 434 Posted October 24, 2019 is it possible to consider whitelist also and not just blacklist. Idea is, during a mission planner already knows in which towns the mission will happen. So in case players are moving through a town, there is no necessity to spawn furnitures in that town. As in Co-Op missions it is usually not dictated which road the platoon should take, blacklist is not working that well. In case whitelist is used, mission maker could give the locations in which he/she needs furnitures and your logic skips all other locations and takes care only whitelisted areas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melody_Mike 130 Posted December 14, 2019 Heya everyone, Would just like to add my thanks to this wonderful script that makes buildings much less anonymous looking, without dependences(!). Guess I can add a tip for the foolish (ie: myself): If you are bothered by the magenta colored rectangles around towns when playing with this script, then change the PF_Dbug=TRUE value to FALSE in the CFG.sqf . -Don't go fishing in the PF.sqf and changing _m setMarkerAlpha to 0 ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronk 898 Posted October 4, 2020 Giant Update Coming Soon It has been almost 3 years since I last updated this script, but I plan to update it either this month or next. The delay was caused by bugs blocking the release. Now that the bugs have been fixed, I'm satisfied to say that Phronk's Furniture is ready for a giant update soon! Below details what to expect: Completely rewrote all scripts Massive improvements to stability and performance Server-side only Server-side mod will be released alongside it, if you don't want to add the script to your missions Many new furniture layouts for houses in Altis, Stratis, Malden, Tanoa, and soon Livonia (Tanoa and Livonia still have a lot more buildings to go) Furniture placement still respects AI pathing Tons of bug fixes A full change-log will be posted with the update, but everything was changed and improved. Can't promise a video will come out to showcase it, but I'll at least update the main post of this thread with new pictures. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronk 898 Posted October 27, 2020 I received some generous motivation recently, so here's some teaser screenshots of several Livonia furniture layouts. I've decided to start using less objects per house to maximize performance and AI pathing. Shooting for a release in early November. At this point, I'm just working on adding furniture to more house classnames. For me, this is tedious as hell because I want to make it perform well, look nice enough, and be compatible with basic AI pathing (AI can move between all buildingPos in the house).

Wetzer 2 Posted May 19, 2021 Hi, are the sets of furniture for a specific house every time the same or will be the interior be new (randomized) set? BTW: Very cool script! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronk 898 Posted May 20, 2021 Each house has their own furniture templates. Some have just one, others may have up to 3 different templates. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wetzer 2 Posted May 20, 2021 Hi, my question was more like: If I revisit the same house (after deleting interior) will in the house the same furniture (if there is more as one template available) or is template taken randomly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronk 898 Posted May 21, 2021 If the house has multiple possible templates, it will always use the same one it randomly selected initially. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
