Hi Guys, I am trying to make a small mod based on sqf files. I understood that I need to use config.cpp with class CfgFunctions to call the first script. My problem is the first script which initializes everything need to be executed on each machine at mission start including server but later on also if someone joins with JIP it should be executed for him on his machine too. How can I achieve this ? Thanks in advance

Hello all i have been following a tutorial on getting started with terrain builder, however i have got to the point where you load buldozer and i get this error. my layers cfg is this. My MapFrame settings are these. however the files its looking for do exist any help would be apreciated.

Hi guys. Creating this poll because 1) it can be an interesting information for any mission maker 2) there are sometimes some missions on the WS that could be interesting but too many mods are requested (IMHO). So, just wanted to know what you think about that.

I'm playing on a modded server and now wanted to figure out which backpack is the best to use. Is there a configuration file where all this stuf is safed or how am I able to output numeric values from the Virtual Arsenal? I think the status Bars are not exact enough. Thank you so much for your help!

hello mates ! Is it possible to allow players to connect to our server without mods ? I know the method that consists of devinarize mission.sqm and remove mods but is there another way ? thank you

Now I know for a fact that mods are not allowed on Official servers. Any weapon or skin mods are a no-no. But what about the clientside mods? Like Dynasound? Are they allowed?

hey guys, so I altered the project opfor "functionary (black suit)" to look like the US army dress blues. I know how to update the texture in the project opfor file but It is only allowing me to use the one file ( i do have all 20 in the PO file but there is only 1 functionary one that the game reads)..... I was wondering how I would go about building a mod file for the ASU uniforms ( e1-e9, woc-cw5, o1-o5). any help would be appreciated.

I have learned how to change weapon turrets and ammo on vehicles VIA inits, but can anyone tell me how to get the actual turret to be visible on the vehicle? As ridiculous as it sounds - I am trying to use twin 125mm cannons (and other weapons) from a Pawnee instead of the miniguns or DAR pods, and I would love to see them attached. Any help appreciated!

Hi. How can I patch a mod? To be more specific, here's what I want to do: Let's say I have a mod identified by: class CfgPatches { class My_mod { units[] = { }; weapons[] = { }; requiredAddons[] = {"CBA_Extended_EventHandlers"}; version = "0.993"; versionStr = "0.993"; versionDesc= "My mod"; versionAr[] = {1,0,0}; author[] = {"Me"}; }; }; All scripts are in the main mod folder (for example, \My_mod\...) Now I want to patch this mod by altering some scripts and adding a few more scripts to the mod folder. Is it possible to use the same class for this patch as well (i.e My_mod)? Should I change the name of the patch folder? ( \My_mod\ ) Should the script I want to "patch" (i.e fix) have the same name as the script in the original mod? I'd appreciate any help with this.

I'm working on a mod, having modeled a carbine in Blender, and textured using Substance Painter. I've finished everything and now am up to exporting the textures for use in Arma. But I cannot find the export maps for A3, ie. Diffuse, SMDI, etc. Currently, I've got Base Colour, Metallic, Mixed AO. Normals, Height, and roughness. Is there a way to export the correct maps straight from painter, or is there a way to create the required maps from using one or more of the ones I have. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I introduce myself, Antonio - Italy. I have a question to ask if possible. In the workshop there are different vehicles, repainted by users, but with Bhoemia models (SUV Pik-up etc. etc.). Now, if I wanted to create my own vehicle, only with my skin and my logo, to be posted later in the workshop, for its subscription to use on my server, where I find the basis for work ?? In practice, a virgin vehicle from retexture? Thanks to those who would like to help or address me on the appropriate topic. Antonio

Hello, I need some help with the config for a small mod I've been working on recently. I'm trying to create a few items based off of some static Arma objects/props that are already in the base game. I hope that this object can be put in a units inventory, as well as be placed by Zeus or in EDEN, with the object able to be picked up by a player. This is my first mod from "scratch" and it may be not possible to accomplish, or I forgot to add something simple. Here is what I have so far: class CfgPatches { class ODA_intel { units[]={}; weapons[]= { "Intel_Item_Base", "Intel_VideoCamera", "Intel_FileDoc", "Intel_FilePic", "Intel_Map", "Intel_Laptop", "Intel_MobileO", "Intel_MobileN", "Intel_Walkie" }; requiredVersion=0.1; version=1; requiredAddons[]= { "A3_Characters_F", "A3_Weapons_F", }; author[]= { "J. Shaw [2/5SFG(A)]" }; fileName="ODA_intel.pbo"; }; }; class cfgWeapons { class ItemCore; class InventoryItem_Base_F; class Intel_Item_Base: ItemCore { scope=1; access=3; displayName="-"; detectRange=-1; simulation="ItemMineDetector"; useAsBinocular=0; type=4096; picture=""; descriptionShort=""; class ItemInfo: InventoryItem_Base_F { mass=1; }; }; class Intel_VideoCamera: Intel_Item_Base { scope=2; scopeCurator=2; displayName="Video Camera"; model = "\A3\structures_f\Items\Electronics\HandyCam_F.p3d"; picture="\ODA_intel\cpccoy_ca.paa"; descriptionShort="Video Camera"; editorSubcategory="EdSubcat_Office"; class ItemInfo: ItemInfo { mass=1; }; }; class Intel_FileDoc: Intel_Item_Base { scope=2; scopeCurator=2; displayName="File of Documents"; model = "\A3\structures_f\Items\Documents\File1_F.p3d"; picture="\ODA_intel\cpccoy_ca.paa"; descriptionShort="File full of documents"; editorSubcategory="EdSubcat_Office"; class ItemInfo: ItemInfo { mass=1; }; }; class Intel_FilePic: Intel_Item_Base { scope=2; scopeCurator=2; displayName="File of Pictures"; model = "\A3\structures_f\Items\Documents\FilePhotos_F.p3d"; picture="\ODA_intel\cpccoy_ca.paa"; descriptionShort="File full of pictures"; editorSubcategory="EdSubcat_Office"; class ItemInfo: ItemInfo { mass=1; }; }; class Intel_Map: Intel_Item_Base { scope=2; scopeCurator=2; displayName="Sleeved Map"; model = "\A3\structures_f\Items\Documents\Map_F.p3d"; picture="\ODA_intel\cpccoy_ca.paa"; descriptionShort="Sleeved map with marked locations"; editorSubcategory="EdSubcat_Office"; class ItemInfo: ItemInfo { mass=1; }; }; class Intel_Laptop: Intel_Item_Base { scope=2; scopeCurator=2; displayName="Laptop"; model = "\A3\structures_f\Items\Electronics\Laptop_F.p3d"; picture="\ODA_intel\cpccoy_ca.paa"; descriptionShort="Laptop"; editorSubcategory="EdSubcat_Office"; class ItemInfo: ItemInfo { mass=1; }; }; class Intel_MobileO: Intel_Item_Base { scope=2; scopeCurator=2; displayName="Old Cellphone"; model = "\A3\structures_f\Items\Electronics\MobilePhone_old_F.p3d"; picture="\ODA_intel\cpccoy_ca.paa"; descriptionShort="Old cellphone, like the one Sierra had"; editorSubcategory="EdSubcat_Office"; class ItemInfo: ItemInfo { mass=1; }; }; class Intel_MobileN: Intel_Item_Base { scope=2; scopeCurator=2; displayName="New Cellphone"; model = "\A3\structures_f\Items\Electronics\MobilePhone_smart_F.p3d"; picture="\ODA_intel\cpccoy_ca.paa"; descriptionShort="New cellphone, like the one Sierra has trouble using"; editorSubcategory="EdSubcat_Office"; class ItemInfo: ItemInfo { mass=1; }; }; class Intel_Walkie: Intel_Item_Base { scope=2; scopeCurator=2; displayName="Walkie Talkie"; model = "\A3\structures_f\Items\Electronics\PortableLongRangeRadio_F.p3d"; picture="\ODA_intel\cpccoy_ca.paa"; descriptionShort="Radio Shack style walkie talkie"; editorSubcategory="EdSubcat_Office"; class ItemInfo: ItemInfo { mass=1; }; }; }; As it currently stands, the mod throws no errors when I run it, and the game loads without issue, however it is not visible in the EDEN, or Zeus. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all. I have problem with spawning weapons without attachments, magazine etc. for vanilla weapons/items i can go with: createvehicle {[ "weaponholdersimulated",[getPos _loc select 0, getpos _loc select 1,0],[], 0, "can_Collide"]; addweaponcargo ["arifle_SDAR_F",1]; }; and its working. but for RHS, CUP etc moded weapons, as example "rhs_weapon_ak103" i don't know what to place instead of "weaponholdersimulated" or where i can find it. if i only change weapon name, it give me error. Any ideas?

I'm after a modder that can make a standalone door object that I can place at the entrances of buildings that don't have doors. I'm currently working on a mission and a lot of the buildings in the map don't have doors, so I'd like just a door object that opens and closes like normal and possibly lockable? Should be a relatively easy mod, but I've got no idea when it comes to object addons and stuff like that. I only script. Cheers

EDIT: Just found out that there's a config and mod section, that was my bad and I'm sorry for posting it in the wrong section.

Hello help me plz, I have made 5 missions on Arma 2 OA Editor. Can I make Setup or DLC or from that my missions ?

Hello help me plz, I have made 5 missions on Arma 2 OA Editor. Can I make Setup or DLC or from that my missions ?

Update: I managed to get most off the stuff working. Only the 1. ist still missing! Hey guys, okay I know this topic has been talked about for quite some time and there are several threads about it. However I still open a new one because I have some further questions. Lets start with my idea: I'm building a PMC Faction (for my unit) atm. There is no dress code meaning they can basically wear what they want (okay, to an extent ...). What I want to do now is, that the units you can place in the editor will have random gear (taken from a pool of classnames) when placed. Okay, I have managed to do that. Thats how it looks right now: CfgVehicles.hpp class CfgVehicles { .... .... .... class MYUNIT { .... .... .... .... class Eventhandlers: Eventhandlers { init = "[(_this select 0)] execVM '\PATH\scripts\random_uniform_unit.sqf';"; }; }; .... .... .... }; random_uniform_unit.sqf _unit = _this select 0; removeUniform _unit; removeHeadgear _unit; removevest _unit; _uniform = ["classname","classname"...] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _headGear = ["classname","classname"...] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _vest = ["classname","classname"...] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _unit addHeadgear _headGear; _unit addUniform _uniform; _unit addvest _vest; So far that works. Whenever I place a unit in the editor he gets randomly assigned a Helmet, Vest and Uniform. Now I have several other problems. 1. When I start the mission the unit yet again gets a new random gear. I know why but how could I prevent that from happening? 2. When the unit respawns he is naked. Again, I know why but how could I make it so the unit gets respawned with the very same gear he had when the mission started? 3. The way I do it right now also removes all the ammunition in the Uniform and Vest (setup with "magazines[] = {};" and "respawnmagazines[] = {};"). Yet again, its obvious why, but what would be the best way to get around that problem? One idea would be to assign the equipment (Mags and Grenades) directly in the random_uniform_unit.sqf which works but also creates problems with question number 2. I hope someone could help me with that task. I'm not the very best when it comes to scripting (but I try to learn wherever I can :3) and also config editing / Mod making is quite new to me. So bear with me, I'll try my best to not be a pain in the butt! BTW, if CBAs Extended EventHandlers would help here, I'd also use them but I'm quite unsure how to set them up. Many Greetings and many thanks in advance Moony

hi guys , so my question is when i want to takedown enemy using melee ( mocap mod ) they always sense me and turn around start shooting , how i can fix that ??

Hello, I have been making missions for Zeus for a while, but obviously, importing sounds into mission files makes them really big. It's gotten to where players are sometimes stuck on Receiving Data because there's just so much to load (even though they have downloaded the actual PBO from my Dropbox). I want to be able to go back and have a 500 KB mission file, and have the sounds isolated. Do you know if there's a way I can make a mod exclusively for sounds? I want to use them selectively, such as a radio playing music and such. I want to isolate them from the mission file, but still be able to play them. Thank you!
