Let's take the AAF as an example. If parallels are to be drawn with real life western military forces, would all mortar, HMG/GMG, sniper, anti-armour and anti-air units be part of the command company in the 1st regiment, would they be organic to each infantry company within 1st reg or would they all be in the support element of the 3rd regiment? -
Hello! I'm trying to add ORBAT marker into my mission. It's alright on map, but after clicking on marker I get this (screenshot). As you can see, the icons here are extremely small and I can't zoom it. I would appreciate if you can help me.

My script for ORBAT is right, the unit symbols appear on the map, but when I click on them it only shows the highest unit and does not show the command branch. How do I solve this? Is it a Arma bug? Error that shows in the bottom left corner of the screen, inside ORBAT: My description.ext: The "text" names may be strange, but that's because I use Arma in another language.

Hello, I'm working on a few spin off mission from the East Wind Campaign and in order to recreate the first mission I created a similar ORBAT view. My only problem is that I cannot load the TF Aegis Helmet into the ORBAT Viewer. The file I am using is the original .paa file extracted from the img folder of the main campaign, and in the Text2View Editor it can be viewed properly. In the following Code example you can see that under "texture" i've added the .paa file which is in the same folder as the mission.sqm file. Furthermore the insignia "Aegis_background.paa" works perfectly fine ... class CfgOrbat { class TFAegis { id = 1; idType = 0; side = "West"; size = "Size1"; type = "HQ"; insignia = "Aegis_background.paa"; colorInsignia[] = {0,0,1,1}; commander = "MacKinnon"; commanderRank = "Colonel"; text = "Task Force Aegis"; textShort = "TF Aegis"; texture = "Aegis_icon.paa"; color[] = {0,1,1,1}; description = "A US-led joint NATO-AAF peacekeeping force stationed on Stratis, with a strictly limited mandate and combat capacity."; }; };

Is it possible to configure vehicle components in the orbat creator? i.e. camo netting, cages etc. unlike in the mission editor, the vehicle editor in orbat does not have a vehicle component section.

So I have the whole process down as far as the basics of putting the CfgORBAT together in the description.ext and how to use the ORBAT Viewer module... But how do you remove the white border around a circular texture. It's not an issue in the viewer itself because the white background cancels it out. But on the map it's very annoying! I don't know how to insert a picture in the forum so I apologize! (If someone could tell me how to do that, that would be great :)) Here's my description.ext for it. class 2325 { id = 0; idType = 2; side = "WEST"; size = "Battalion"; type = "Airborne"; insignia = __EVAL((__FILE__ select [0, count __FILE__ - 15]) + "picture\falcon.paa"); commander = ""; commanderRank = ""; text = "WHITE FALCONS"; textShort = "2nd BN, 325th AIR"; texture = __EVAL((__FILE__ select [0, count __FILE__ - 15]) + "picture\falcon.paa"); color[] = {255,255,255,1}; };

Hi everyone. I have been working with the CfgORBAT in one of my missions, and everything is fine, all it works except the insignia image which it should show up in the background of the ORBAT. I have tried using a .paa image (512x512, 256x128 and128x128) and .jpg images, but any of those works. The only thing I get using these formtats is the little icon which appear in the map: https://imgur.com/a/Mk9wFHZ This is my CfgOrbat: class CfgORBAT { class ArrowPlatoon { id = 1; idType = 1; side = "West"; size = "Platoon"; type = "Recon"; insignia = "images\insignia3.paa"; commander = "López"; commanderRank = "Major"; text = "Arrow Team"; textShort = "Arrow Team"; color[] = {0,0.3,0.6,1}; description= "A special operations force of the 111th Infantry Division."; assets[] = {}; }; }; This is the error I get: https://imgur.com/a/ljkVhsJ If you know what format I have to use, or what I'm doing wrong, please, comment! Sorry for English grammatical mistakes.

Hi Everyone, Been playing around with the CfgORBAT, modules and structures for the past few weeks as I love the concept. I've introduced it to a multiplayer server as a way of keeping tabs on the whereabouts of other squads and knowing where they fall in the mission's hierarchy. I know linking the module to a playable unit allows the ORBAT marker to follow them, however, in a multiplayer environment the module initialises before the players join and just sit there being static. I've tried tieing the modules to a trigger, that initialises when the player characters are "alive", or on a radio option so they're defiantly in the server when the module initialises, but no dice. The current only functional workaround I have is having AI with their "MOVE" disabled spawning in place when the mission begins, and when players join, they take the AI slots. That gives the module something to adhere to at least. If anyone has any suggestions or knows how to have the modules bind to players when they join, it'd be appreciated. Cheers, Val.

Alive Orbat creator: Vehicles have no gunner seat
Brotherblaze posted a topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS - CONFIGS & SCRIPTING
Hey guys, I've created a faction here, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023072593, but the BDRM and most vehicles have no gunner. I've check the config files and it has the Main turret crewed, but it does not have a gunner turret. IDK if that's how its suppose to look or.. if you check the faction, all the vehicles that are suppose to have gunner seats do not. Please help, Thanks. -
I been making my own units to save the hassle of copy and pasting each gear INT for each soldier, and with 8 units to do it gets troublesome. I created new units successfully using the ALIVE Orbat but the faces and voices keep changing for each unit every time I place them in the editor. I saw that Miller from story has a set face and voice and was wondering how to copy this to my custom units I created. Apologies if this has been already answered, I just linked my steam and this is the first time I am using Bohemia Forums.

ORBAT Textures and Insignias Not working
DeathRoams posted a topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS - CONFIGS & SCRIPTING
Can Anyone help with trying to add custom background and unit icons to ORBAT. I have tried everything even stuff that has been put on the internet the limited amount. It worked last time when i it was like subfolder\pic that was in the mission file and worked fine but now when i come back that doesn't work and says that it cannot find to picture. And the if someone says to go to that stupid KK scripting page i am going to lose it. That is unorganized and tons of stuff just mashed together and super confusing. All i need is saying so this line of code goes in the description.ext or init.sqf. Please respond ASAP! -
Hi i got little problem about my ORBAT setting up and I would like to hear how to add assets to the ORBAT group that will be faded out. In other words I want to have ORBAT group show that it has some assets before but now it has like 50% of them just like it was in Tanks DLC campaign Altis Requiem. Do someone know how to do this? P.S. I am not sure if this belong here on in modding section of this forum

Hello all, I am curious as to how I would go about adding players dynamically to a cfg orbat group. The config is defined in the description.ext, but I am still confused as to how I would add new players that are joining to this group. Thanks! Reference to ORBAT: ORBAT_Viewer

Hey, I really need help with using ORBAT. I downloaded the mod through steam and the other files that people say you have to download don't work. My computer doesn't recognize the files. If someone could help out that'd be greatly appreciated and I a complete noob at this and the game so be gentle.
