    Rifle in launcher slot. Possible?

    da12thMonkey replied to AlexVestin's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS - CONFIGS & SCRIPTING

    AFAIK you can't make new simulations types, they are hardcoded in the game engine. Assigning the 931 idc/idxc for the inventory to another type, would I imagine just change the UI detection of the object. It wont affect how it's simulated as a weapon since use of the launcher proxy (where the item in the secondary slot is displayed on the character model) is tied to numerous hardcoded things like the animation states.

    Import Smoothing Group Error

    da12thMonkey replied to 880zero's topic in ARMA 3 - MODELLING - (O2)

    I triangulate the mesh via modifier in my modelling software (Maya in my case) so that it has explicit triangulation, and then export as .fbx rather than letting the exporter triangulate the mesh. Yields the best results for me. IIRC it's advised not to lock normals on export too.

    Selling ingame items for real money?

    da12thMonkey replied to Top Dog's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL

    Yeah, you're not allowed to do it unless the items are purely cosmetic: https://www.bistudio.com/monetization So no restricting access to particular "tiers" of weapons or vehicles. Or providing currency, perks and other ingame systems that advantage players in exchange for money

    F-2 Viper ZERO Standalone

    da12thMonkey replied to firewill's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE

    Nope. Problem is he's running an old version of the game from before Jets DLC. Says 1.68 in the bottom of the editor menu. Current game version is 1.74 (soon 1.76)

    Adding flags to vehicles

    da12thMonkey replied to wld427's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS - CONFIGS & SCRIPTING

    I don't think there'd be much point in adding an animation since the flag only appears when a flag owner or forced texture is assigned anyway Potentially an Eden attribute can be used e.g. class Attributes { class tag_someAttributeClassname { control = "CheckboxNumber"; defaultValue = "0"; displayName="fly our flag"; property = "tag_somePropertyName"; expression = "if(_value isEqualTo 1)then{_this forceFlagTexture "path\To\Flag\Texture.paa"}"; }; }; But I haven't tried that, and my scripting knowledge is minimal; so would be wise to check over the expression used. And set defaultValue to 1 if you want the flag to be show by default when the vehicle is placed, without mission makers checking in attributes @wld427

    Laws of War DLC Assets

    da12thMonkey replied to DnA's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH

    That's unfortunate. I think I've encountered similar rendering issues with mixtures of headgear and facewear in community modding though, and the hair-pulling of trying to resolve things like alpha rendering in certain problem conditions. So it's entirely understandable to me that it might not have been something you were happy with releasing. I can thank you all for trying at least

    Laws of War DLC Assets

    da12thMonkey replied to DnA's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH

    These aren't really the norm for NGO or even military demining however. Tends to be more the realm of military and police specialists tasked with making-safe with large-yield explosive devices in known positions. Sweeping for mines and UXO doesn't usually entail such large, heavy and immobile suits. The new headgear selection in the DLC is missing something ubiquitous with mine and UXO clearance throughout the world though, and that's a visor: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Would fit in very well as an addition to the new kevlar helmets and construction helmets (maybe even as an NVG slot attachment with a secondary "normal" view mode, instead of the current limit of NVG or TI only) or as a standalone item

    Flags on vehicles?

    da12thMonkey replied to lexx's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    So no more OFP-era arse-ache of placing random flag poles around the map with setFlagTexture applied, and then using setFlagOwner on the vehicle driver? O brave new world!

    Also there are ground-based equivalents of the Mk.29 Sparrow launchers, like NASAMS There's literally nothing stopping people placing these turrets down on the ground in the editor, instead of on the carrier

    Weapon station proxy on the vehicle has to be one that has simulation = "pylonpod"; In cfgNonAIVehicles https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Vehicle_Loadouts#Configuration BIS models for these proxies are mostly all located in \A3\Weapons_F\DynamicLoadout\ Proxies in \a3\weapons_f\ammo\ are for the ordnance models themselves, and have simulation = "maverickweapon"; These are used inside the pylonpod model instead of directly on the vehicle, if it has dynamic loadouts https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/206064-pylons-weapon-sample/?do=findComment&comment=3204897 So in short, the proxies you have pathed in your plane, have the wrong simulation type for Dynamic Loadouts.

    Proxy retexturing in config

    da12thMonkey replied to kerozen's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS - CONFIGS & SCRIPTING

    @UK_Apollo No hard data, but Pettka stated himself when they first introduced it, that it wasn't optimal for performance and they didn't recommend it for other uses beyond applying textures to wrecks. Since proxies are a separate draw-call to the main model and it probably takes additional computation time in the engine to apply for the process of reloading and rendering external meshes mesh with a different texture to the one loaded at init, it's understandably going to have more overhead. None the less it was used successfully on some RHS stuff, and perhaps still is in places where we haven't found time to merge the proxy objects in to the main model after the vertex limit extension.

    Proxy retexturing in config

    da12thMonkey replied to kerozen's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS - CONFIGS & SCRIPTING

    This isn't quite true, you can apply hiddenSelectionsTexture to proxies in the same manner it's done for the wreck LOD proxy https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Setting_Textures_for_Wrecks It's not very good for performance though. However, since BIS raised the vertex index limit of 3D models, you may as well delete the proxy triangle and just copy the mesh from the proxy .p3d in to that position on the main vehicle model. btw @kerozen, the animations on the second model probably didn't work because you didn't add a new class for the second model, in the model.cfg

    RHS Escalation (AFRF and USAF)

    da12thMonkey replied to soul_assassin's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE

    Sure, if one just completely bloody ignores the post I made where I stated categorically, that it's nothing to do with that, and no such project exists. Would it have been a more believable to you people, if I pretended to be an arsehole and said "No, I'm just doing it to troll people"? Since nobody seems to believe me when I post the sincere reason: The same honest response I have the half dozen people who PMed me about it before someone asked in this thread. I guess it's time to delete it, along with the imaginary RHS:BAF project folder on my P:\ drive (god I always hated the "BAF" acronym), if it's over-stimulating for the kids here with ADHD.

    RHS Escalation (AFRF and USAF)

    da12thMonkey replied to soul_assassin's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE

    There is an issue with body armour not being effective on RHS uniform/character-models. Seemed like infantry damage got changed and the armorstructural value applied to RHS units is now considered too low for body armour to have any appreciable scalar effect on the ability to take damage, for the unit wearing it. I removed the offending config parameters several weeks ago at our end though. So a fix of sorts is there in a future patch. We also fixed the fact that wound textures are currently not working on several uniforms in AFRF, GREF and SAF.

    da12thMonkey replied to soul_assassin's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE

    Doesn't make a difference ingame, no. Formula takes in to account various factors applied to the RHS armour/penetration materials used on the vehicle models, so it's there for ease of editing specific characteristics to produce the final result.

    Helo Gun Turret Default Direction

    da12thMonkey replied to warlord554's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING

    All turrets must face forward in the model by default. It's not an issue unique to helicopters Presumably simulation is done relative to the vehicle's heading
