mankyle 410 Posted January 21, 2019 I didn't have much time during the weekend to work on the ship but I have remodelled the starbord crane and boat bay. Now I'm modelling the crane's hook and when I finish it will animate with the boats when loading/unloading them. I need some help with a couple of things. 1) if I want to get an array of all BLUFOR UAVs.... How would I combine allunitsUAV and side scripting commands so I can get an array of objects?? 2) i'm experimenting with playmove. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playMove Would it be possible to use playmove while attached to another vehicle??? Thanks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, not at my arma desktop right now, but you can try this code: private _bluforUAV = []; { if (side _x == west) then { _bluforUAV pushBack _x; } } forEach allUnitsUAV; systemChat format ["Found %1 blufor UAV", count _bluforUAV]; No idea on the playMove, but keep in mind that the argument needs to be local in multiplayer, e.g. execute the playMove where the object resides. Good luck, TeTeT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir BadNade 25 Posted January 22, 2019 This will be pretty exciting especially from what have you said in the HAFM thread. This and almost every other warship mod out there is amazing and others that would of been cool to see a bit more of. The Independace class would of been cool to see as well and sadly I got here after the issue with it being see through so not much that could be done there but this should be able to over come it.

mankyle 410 Posted January 22, 2019 The Independence class?? Ah... OK. You mean the version in which I did a bad ShadowLOD. I guess I could give it a little bit of love but, as the GEO LOD gets over the limit (72 meters) it just doesn't make sense to work on it unless BIS solves that problem. Regarding the HSSV First of all is modelling more details on the ship. I want to finish the boat davits/cranes this week. After that I will continue working on the bridge. I still have to model the seats in the bridge and cargo space. If I can get the GUI working so I can control UAVs from an turret I want to model an small CIC with the turrets set so UAV can be controled from there. Theoretically I could even tie hitpoints, animations and conditions so that the animation state of the satellite communication antenna is set as a condition for controlling UAVs (if the antenna gets destroyed you cannot activate the action and access the UAV terminal). I'm fairly noob regarding modelling and scripting. When I look at the code I understand what it does but I'm not capable of writing it. As I said before... still some months to go.

Thank you very much guys and gals… You, BIS and the Arma series are the best I shall look for this on steam, and if its not there, put it there soon. And of course, you deserve much more than a minute, tiny mention in the credits. For a standalone upload, you should get all the credit... well unless a lot of work is added, but I only ever do ports and minor tweaks/config changes, so I don't envision changing much at all. Its not like the ATLAS LHD: Plus by @j0nes that I had to put in a non-insignificant amount of work to update it (it works much better now using the spawning system for the USS Freedom), and well, I think I did give him more than a tiny mention, its one mention, but in the very first line: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1737598604 I'll take a look at it, I think based on the pics it should already be useable. If it is, I may want to throw it in here (where I've got an Arma 2 F-35 port, the ATLAS LHD update + config changes and retextures for balance changes and improved options for operating from offshore bases) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1744603050 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 410 Posted March 22, 2020 Reinstalled Arma 3 becaused I wanted to try Old Man and I dusted the old source files of the HSSV 72 Project... I'm back again working on this... I have some ideas that I want to try and I hope something Good comes from this... I Will post some new pictures in one week or so. To do Next - solve script problems when loading boats - improve boat loading animations - Add more doors - model seats - add a cargo space with inventory - modify lights system - improve geo lod EDIT: BTW I have just passed, in the middle of this COVID19 nightmare, the 3rd anniversary of my cancer. The risk of relapse just goes down from now on... Everybody just keep strong and stay the f**k at home 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wansec_6 200 Posted March 23, 2020 G'day @mankyle, Good to see you back working on this project. Congrats on the anniversary. Even better about the chances of relapse. Keep up the great work and take care of yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 410 Posted March 24, 2020 Thanks @wansec_6 Yes... We are on quarantine here in Spain too and as non urgent surgeries have been cancelled I only have to work once or twice per week so I have a lot of free time (Medtech Industry sales rep)... Back to the topic…. - I have added a couple mor details and some new animations for loading boats. Now the cranes and thingies move and deploy for loading boats on the ship. I still have to refine the animations and such to avoid clipping and making them go smoother but I think this won't take more tan a couple of days. - I have added an armory with ammo and weapons and a couple more details... - I'm working on making all glass panels destroyable. Tomorrow I will have everything set up (I think) - Tomorrow I Will start modelling the cargo and general seats on the ship. I have an idea but I still have to check if it is feasible. I have ZERO experience with dialogs so If anyone who knows about dialogs wants to give a hand… just PM me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chops 111 Posted March 25, 2020 Hello Mankyle! Great to hear you're fit and well during this nightmare. So awful to see what is happening across the world. Spain in particular seems to be suffering. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the progress you make with this. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 410 Posted March 25, 2020 Yes... @chops We have here some of the worst, spineless, most stupid, and overall useless politicians in the whole world... But let's talk about Arma, not COVID19... I just finished modelling and texturing the cargo seats and I have added a couple more details. The starbord crane animations are 99% finished, only a couple more details to do (some ropes for ambience) and tomorrow I will continue with the port cranes. I have added a gunner position in the flight control room and I have downloaded the UAV console dialog config to see if I can hack it so I can access the UAV console with an script from a gunner position. Basically I want to add some consoles in the CIC from where a character can control UAVs without a console in his GPS slot.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 410 Posted April 6, 2020 Hi there... Still working on this... I'm preparing something new and I hope I will be able to post some pictures in a couple of days... I'm still having problems configuring the glass so it can be destroyed and as I am a total noob regarding scripts I haven't been able to configure an static UAV console but I will keep working on this... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mankyle 410 Posted April 19, 2020 Still working on the Patrol Boat. It is a replica of the Pacific Replacemente Patrol Boat from Austal. It is 40 meters long. I'm adding many details now and during the weekend I Will tinker with the markerlight and reflector classes. It has radar and can load a CRRC or a SDV on the Stern boat ramp. I'm trying to make enough space for a vanilla RHIB but the space on the Stern is quite small... It is fully walkable and the GEO LOD is rock solid... I need help with a couple of things... I want to add selectable hull numbers ala Vanilla Destroyer but I don't know how to set hidden selections and control them from EDEN editor. For the ship name… Would you use the setplate scripting command or use custom textures with an Alpha layer and a name? In two weeks I Will post pics of another Project I'm working on now!!! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wansec_6 200 Posted April 20, 2020 G'day @mankyle, Both of those vessels are looking great. Can't wait to get them in game and see how they perform. Will the Patrol Boat be armed similar to the Armidale class Patrol Boat currently in service with the Australian Navy? Keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 410 Posted April 20, 2020 Hi @wansec_6 Yes. I'm planning a 20 mm RCWS. But... I'm not so experienced in modelling or texturing to do that. I also want to add two .50 cal machineguns but although I have the models themselves (Arma 2 samples) I would still have to model the gun mounts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the ship name… Would you use the setplate scripting command or use custom textures with an Alpha layer and a name? I'd go with the later as it's more flexible. Chances are that you want to display the number and name on multiple places? On the CH-46 we solved the numbering like: CfgVehicles -> ttt_ch46 -> class ttt_ch46_decal1 { displayName = "10 Digit"; tooltip = "Left digit (10) of the helicopter number"; property = "ttt_ch46_decal1"; control = "Edit"; expression = "_this setVariable ['%s', parseNumber(_value) % 10]; [_this, parseNumber(_v alue) % 10, 10] call ttt_ch46_fnc_setNumberDecal;"; defaultValue = -1; }; class ttt_ch46_decal2: ttt_ch46_decal1 { displayName = "1 Digit"; tooltip = "Right digit (1) of the helicopter number"; property = "ttt_ch46_decal2"; expression = "_this setVariable ['%s', parseNumber(_value) % 10]; [_this, parseNumber(_v alue) % 10, 1] call ttt_ch46_fnc_setNumberDecal;"; }; Then in the setNumberDecal function: // written by londo and TeTeT for CH-46 params [["_ch46", ObjNull], "_digit", "_power"]; if (isNull _ch46) exitWith {}; if (!local _ch46) exitWith {}; // uninitialized case, pick a random number if (_digit isEqualTo -1) then { _digit = floor(random 10); }; private _decal = format ["\ttt_ch46\decails\%1.paa", _digit]; if (_power == 10) then { _ch46 setObjectTexture[1,_decal]; _ch46 setObjectTexture[3,_decal]; _ch46 setObjectTexture[5,_decal]; } else { _ch46 setObjectTexture[2,_decal]; _ch46 setObjectTexture[4,_decal]; _ch46 setObjectTexture[6,_decal]; }; _ch46; The hiddenselections in CfgVehicles and model.cfg: hiddenSelections[] = {"clan", "num_f1", "num_f2", "num_l1", "num_l2", "num_r1", "num_r2" , "hull", "cabin", "cockpit", "adds"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = { "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "\ttt_ch46\data\newtex\navyused\hull\ch46_hull_ca.paa", "\ttt_ch46\data\newtex\navyused\cabin\ch46_cabin_ca.paa", "\ttt_ch46\data\newtex\navyused\cockpit\ch46_cockpit_ca.paa", "\ttt_ch46\data\newtex\navyused\adds\ch46_adds_ca.paa" }; hiddenSelectionsMaterials[] = { "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "\ttt_ch46\data\newtex\navyused\hull\ch46_hull.rvmat", "\ttt_ch46\data\newtex\navyused\cabin\ch46_cabin.rvmat", "\ttt_ch46\data\newtex\navyused\cockpit\ch46_cockpit.rvmat", "ttt_ch46\data\newtex\navyused\adds\ch46_adds.rvmat" }; and model.cfg: class ttt_ch46d: Helicopter { skeletonName="ttt_ch46_skeleton"; sectionsInherit="Helicopter"; sections[]= { "zbytek", "hull", "cabin", "cockpit", "adds", "muzzleFlash", "Light_L", "Light_R", "light_L_pos", "light_R_pos", "Cockpit_Lights_L", "Cockpit_Lights_R", "newLights", "cabinLight1", "cabinLight2", "cabinLight3", "cabinLight4", "num_f1", "num_f2", "num_l1", "num_l2", "num_r1", "num_r2", "podsvit pristroju" }; Good luck!

mankyle 410 Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks @TeTe T I Will look at the code and Will include in the mod... I'm now modelling the Stern doors for CRRCs and SDVs…. RHIBs are too big for the patrol boat… They should fit but they don't Now… I have put my hands on the deckplans of a couple of auxiliary logistic ships from Damen Schelde that: a) Fit below the 72 meters GEO/Roadway LOD limit b) Have space for helicopter operations and a ViV cargo deck plus space for two RHIBs and a lot of space for cargo proxies…. They could be used as a "mini LPD" by the independen side Would anyone be interested in something like this? It is definitely too small for BLUFOR or OPFOR but not for INDFOR 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wansec_6 200 Posted April 26, 2020 G'day @mankyle, The mini lpd idea sounds really great. It could also be used by PMC factions as well. I think you should go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 410 Posted April 27, 2020 I'll do @wansec_6 It will be something similar to this Started this afternoon modelling the hull and cargo bay... I will add an artillery cannon so it can provide fire support and I also want to model an small CIC room wit a couple of screens. I'm still thinking wether to do a double size well deck or an small one. The idea is to work with small LCVPs. AAF cars and wheeled IFVs are anfibious so they can be launched and recovered directly from the well deck. My idea is to make it driveable and add ViV capabilities. I have had an idea which is to tie ViV entry/exit points to animations so the vehicles get in/get out in fixed positions depending on wether the starbord door or the well deck door is open/closed... It will also have space for a RHIB (not ViV) and I will try to add other features... In three weeks or so I will need testers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
