AnimExport - only a few clicks between Blender and complex multi-bone model.cfg animation(s) If you're looking for an alternative to manually writing down every bone movement in model.cfg, then AnimExport is the thing for you. What does it do ? The plugin will convert values from active Blender animation into parameters usable in Arma 3's model.cfg. All you have to do is include the generated .hpp file into your model's animations class. How is it different than anim2cfg ? anim2cfg requires a lot of preparation and setup work in order to export a single bone's animation (time consuming), whereas animExport only requires you to select an armature and make active your desired animation; full animation exported with every single bone included ! All setup work is done automatically by the plugin. How does it work ? 1. Download and install AnimExport plugin for Blender. In order to install, you will need to open your Blender and navigate to Edit > Preferences > AddOns > Install. There, you will select the .py script and click "Install Addon". Once complete, make sure you 'tick' the box next to newly installed plugin in order to activate it. 2. Open the scene containing your armature and animation(s). Make active the animation you wish to export. If you use the NLA system, then in order to do so you will need to right-click on desired action and select "Start editing stashed action". This animation's keyframes should now be visible in Dope Sheet, which confirms it is currently active. 3. Presumed your animation is ready to go, navigate to File > Export > Arma 3 model.cfg (.cfg/.cpp) and populate the export menu with desired values. 'Parent Object': Animations will be exported relative to this object. When not set the origin will be used. 'Armature Object': If set, armature of this object will be used. Bone names are used as selection names. 'Start Frame': Starting frame to export. 'End Frame': End frame to export. 'Selection Name': Selection names to be used in the model.cfg. Defaults to the name of the objects. Automatically retrieved from chosen objects in the Outliner. DONE AUTOMATICALLY FOR EACH BONE BY THE PLUGN AS OF THE NEW VERSION. 'Source Name': Source name to be used in the model.cfg. 'minValue': minValue to be used in the model.cfg for the first animation. 'maxValue': maxValue to be used in the model.cfg for the last animation. 'Precision': Number of decimal places. 'Add Folder': Whether or not a folder will be created for additional subfiles.(If only one bone exists, no folder will be created.) 'Folder Name': Name of the generated folder. If unset, Source name will be used as folder name. If folder with same name exists, that folder will be used. navigate the directory tree and set/select the file name (existing files will be OVERWRITTEN) 'Export model.cfg' 4. The plugin has now generated a .hpp file with animations for each bone. This means if your armature is consist of 5x bones, then 5x .hpp files will be created based off values from the export menu. Those will be inside your newly created folder, if you opted for it. In addition, another .hpp file is created which has all generated .hpp #included in it. This means you can simply #include that single file into your model.cfg, because it already has all other .hpp files #included in it. Example below: bridge_deploy.hpp - the main .hpp file generated by plugin. All .hpp subfiles are included inside. Example content of .hpp subfile: - this is where actual arma3 model.cfg animations are stored (direct translations/rotations) 5. Now with your animation exported, it's time that you create a model.cfg file and configure CfgSkeletons and CfgModels. Thankfully, our friend Talya_Taya has created a separate plugin that can export a list of all bones from a selected armature, ensuring you do not need to type them in manually. Note: when using AnimExport, your bones must NOT be parent/children of each other. This will break the animation. Download skelExport Guide: - Install the same way as AnimExport. - File > Export > Arma3 skeleton (.hpp) - Untick (IMPORTANT) retrieve parents option (as mentioned above: parenting will break this type of animations) You can still create additional bones and make them children to animExport-exported bones, but the bones affected by original animExport animations must not be made children of any other bones (unless for "hide" purposes). 6. With our CfgSkeletons and CfgModels configured, we can now #include the main .hpp file into the Animations class of our model. 7. Open your .p3d and start Bulldozer. Watch your beautiful animation play upon the specified animation source. 😁 If you have any questions regarding this tutorial or the plugins provided, please do not hesitate to ask. I am hoping to create a complete process video tutorial as well (once the things at work get a bit less busy). Meanwhile, you may download this example addon that should make things more clear to you serving as a practical example.

This tactical balaclava will fit under every helmet, beret, hat and chin strap without any signs of clipping through. Download on Steam Workshop How it works? Event handler will trigger when you equip your balaclava and issue a head replacement while you wear it. Not as scary as it sounds! GitHub repo: learn how to make your own mod compatible with this new mechanism. https://github.com/DegmanDMAN/tacticalbalaclavas_arma3/tree/main Compatibility - Currently, the mod supports all Arma 3 vanilla faces, including DLCs (not creator DLCs) and expansions. If you're using (unsupported) modded faces, the function will issue you with a substitute face while you wear a balaclava. Modded face will be returned to your character again after you unequip the balaclava. - ACE Arsenal - ToH Characters - Task Force Timberwolf Female Characters Known issues - This will work with virtual arsenal, but not when you access it from the main menu. All other instances should work flawlessly. SOLVED - Units that do not inherit event handlers from Man class will not work. This is being worked on. SOLVED - Changing face in Virtual Arsenal will not update character with correct balaclava face. SOLVED - If balaclava wearer's face is changed midgame via script command, balaclava may clip through. This issue will be fixed at some stage. - Sometimes ACE Arsenal (only when accessed from main menu) will issue female balaclava to your preview character on 1st time opening, which can be fixed by simply clicking on another balaclava and it won't happen again. This is ACE issue (gear with private scope should not be issued randomly like that). Balaclavas Variants: - TB - TB, Under nose - TB + ESS ICE [goggles] - TB + ESS RollBar [goggles] - TB + EP Gatorz M [goggles] - TB + Combat goggles *special female variants for all above Colors: - Black - Black (Skull 01) - Black (Skull 02) - Green - Tan - Woodland pattern - Multicam pattern - Flecktarn pattern - CROPAT (Woodland) pattern - MTP - White - White (Skull 01) - White (Skull 02) Credits Degman - Project lead and developer Hussky9 - Balaclava/ESS ICE/ ESS RollBar model and textures (CGTrader seller) 3dmilitaryassets - EyePro Gatorz Magnum model and textures (CGTrader seller) Talya_Taya - Scripting: help and guidance Eathox - Scripting: help and guidance

Direct animation type does not support vertex weights, neither does rotation or translation. Vertex is either a part of selection manipulated by an animation and moves 100%, or it isn't, therefore animation has no effect on it. .rtm type animation for man class (also animals) supports weights, but you don't need this tool for it.

Tactical Balaclavas v1.3 update Changelog:

Idea: selection masking for heads/headgear. Use: CfgWeapons/CfgGlasses class MyBalaclava { maskedSelections[]={"Mask_LEar","Mask_REar","Mask_BackHead","Mask_TopHead","Mask_Neck1","Mask_Neck2","Mask_Neck3"}; // example set of mask_ selections to be assigned on A3 head models // masked selections are not rendered }; class myScarf { maskedSelections[]={"Mask_Mouth","Mask_Jaw","Mask_Neck2","Mask_Neck3"}; };

Tactical Balaclavas v1.2 update Changelog: - New 3DEN/preInit functions with big help of Eathox - Support for changing faces in BIS and ACE Arsenal - New balaclava variants: UK MTP, White, White (Skull 01), White (Skull 02)

Tactical Balaclavas v1.1 update Changelog: - brand new function delivery system that ensures all units will get appropriate face model while wearing a balaclava - fixed many compatibility issues

Any chance we'd see support for SlotItemChanged (Arma3 v2.14) in extended event handlers?

Next update will see a better adjusted balaclava with neck cut, as well as new colors and camo variants.

Oh, Steam is being Steam again. I dared to change description and now it's stuck in bot verification. 🙃 Edit: it appears to be resolved now.

Would be cool to have this for men class (instead of having to add new weapon classes): PrimaryWeaponAttachments[]= { "some_optics", "some_silencer", "some_bipod" }; SecondaryWeaponAttachments[]= { "some_optics", "some_silencer" };

Update v2.0 is now live ! Download link in the first post.

Today's bit: New rvmats and color textures for Patria AMV variants New color textures for dependency RHS assets

Quick update: TAM-110 4x4 TAM-150 6x6 The vehicles are customizable and will be provided in several variants including flatbed (ViV), infantry transport, ammo, fuel cistern, repair etc.

M-80A (IFV) M-80A LT (tank hunter) *LT version is not in use by the Croatian army, but will be placed as vehicle for certain INDEP and OPFOR factions, alongside regular M-80A. 3D Artist: Dmitrije Dejanić M-84A4 Snajper (MBT) 3D Artist: Dmitrije Dejanić Elmech EMM-992 / EM-992 (Croatian sniper rifles) 3D Artist: Jota (developer of A.G.E. mod) OH-58D Kiowa Warrior (Observation and reconnaissance helicopter) 3D Artist: Brasiel (developer of Brazilian Armed Forces mod)

M-84A and M-84A4 will have very basic interiors. VHS-2 variants have been present in RHSGREF for quite some time already, but CROMIL does reduce their recoil to be more realistic. VHS-2 CT-1.5x has integrated red dot sight, and is probably the variant you're referring to. UH-60M is already present in the Croatian faction (RHS retexture), and Rafale is something I'd rather not go with as it's a complex thing to do and is already part of Arma Mod France.

The thread updated per new plugin release. New tutorial and example addon available. ☺️

The last screenshot from your post is showing some weird shadows and dark areas. This might be a product of poorly made _AS and _SMDI maps. Unless they're a part of your _co texture, it means that .rvmat itself works properly and is ingame, but you would need to change ur maps.

Main_Rotor_F.p3d is a proxy defined within the helicopter's model itself. Proxies are found in named selections and path to proxy .p3d can be changed there. Note you may need to change proxy's path in multiple LODs. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18ymfqvlOjmOKjTcb2kVXfTXdqcx_yO-P/view?usp=sharing
