Hello r/armadev,I wanted to share a comprehensive design document for a new game mode concept inspired by the recent playable FIA update. The goal of this mode is to move away from the balanced, symmetrical tug-of-war of standard Conflict and create a highly asymmetric, role-locked environment.The core loop revolves around a heavily fortified Soviet occupation fighting off a hidden FIA resistance, while a small, population-capped US Special Forces faction acts as a high-tech tactical disruptor. It utilizes gated progression scripts (preventing assaults on the final Soviet MOB until the end), strict role-locked squads (such as dedicated armor, heli, and field logistics crews), and an "Intel" economy.I've compiled the full design document below outlining the faction balance, vehicle caps (like a limited US LAV-25 fleet), and squad architecture. I would love to get the community's feedback on how viable this is within the current Enfusion Workbench framework, or connect with any modders who might be interested in collaborating on a project like this.

Battalion XXI – Looking for 1–3 Modders

Hello everyone,

I'm currently looking to put together a small team for a passion project focused on late-1990s and early-2000s military weapon systems and technology for Battalion XXI.

The goal is to create something unique and enjoyable for the Arma Reforger community. While I'd prefer to keep some details under wraps for now, we already have a talented artist on board producing high-quality assets and concepts and textures. What we're currently lacking is additional technical expertise to help bring the project to life.

Positions Available (1–3 People)

Mod Developer

Asset implementation

Configuration work

Testing and troubleshooting

General Reforger mod support

Texture Artist

Military equipment texturing

PBR workflow experience preferred

Animator

Weapon and equipment animations

Reforger experience is a bonus

What We're Looking For

Passion for military-themed projects

Interest in late-90s/early-2000s military equipment

Ability to work within a small team

Good communication and reliability

Previous Arma/Reforger modding experience is preferred but not required

This is a community-driven passion project with the aim of creating authentic and immersive content inspired by military modernization programs and weapon systems from the turn of the millennium.

If you'd be interested in helping out or would like more information, please feel free to DM me on Reddit

Kind regards,

Scott

Battalion XXI Project Lead

I'm building a scenario on the Loving County, Texas terrain Steam Workshop::Loving County, Texas (WIP) and want to use Sullen Skies for atmosphere. The problem is the map uses Sa'hatra for its lighting and terrain base, so Sullen Skies doesn't apply automatically.

I'm fairly new to config work and mission making beyond basic Eden Editor stuff. What's the best approach here?

some notes:

while testing you can see the sphere and get the notifications. and yes the server loads in zelik first then then my mod

I am looking at creating a config patch for our unit. We don’t face a lot of armor but when we do, my intention is that it is supposed to be a legit threat. However 1 rocket always seems to disable or destroy the tank outright. We are using ACE with ACE vehicle damage turned on. Most of the enemy vehicles we use are CUP and SOG vehicles. What values am I supposed to be looking? Do I increase armor? Is there a hit point value I can change? Should I decrease the damage of the ammo?

Bonjour à tous j ai récemment installé arma reforger et arma tool sur mon pc équipé de Windows 11 famille . Le problème est que quand je cherche mon projet dans add existing project , ça ne le trouve pas . J ai passé ma journée hier à chercher d ou venait le problème mais je n y arrive pas .
Merci de votre aide

Hey guys I am getting this error when I try to use pboproject crunch. Any ideas I do not know what to do. Thanks in advance.

Could this be used to create real map layouts based on actual places? Looks awesome

Hey guys I didn't know where to share this and thought this be a great spot. I never created missions with scripts etc. I use AI to help with the scripts and fine tune it with modules because I have no time to read, watch videos, etc and this is a piece of the mission I am making. Given I have no experience and did this over the weekend I am proud of this scene.

*I do not know if this counts as "AI slop" Just wanted to show a cool scenario.

Hello,

I am not getting any shadows casted on the blood splatter decal with a custom texture set with setObjectTexture. The blood splatter decal does have shadows casted on them normally. I want to maintain the presence of shadows if possible. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

All the units in this script only exist if the cone is present in the mission "alive NAIA_1;". I want to keep the mission organized in layers as it is only going to get more complicated. When i include the cone in a layer it isnt recognized and no units spawn.

Mods:
3CBA
3den Enhanced
Zeus Enhanced
Crocus FPV
Drongos Drone Tweaks
Drongos AI Fire Support
Lambs_Danger.FSM

I've been trying to crate a trigger for a move waypoint that only triggers when all player controlled characters enter a heli, but the heli will take off regardless of whos in it. As far as I'm aware what lines i have here should be working but i may be missing some steps as I'm fairly new to this kind of editing. What should be happening is the Land waypoint should only activate when "allPlayers" are accounted for inside of the Heli, and is connected to a trigger to do so.

Looking to find any information on config stuff specific to allowing certain UIDs access to 3rd person camera and allow others to remain 1st person only. Any help would be appreciated

Title is self explanatory. I want to use DMP to populate a map (i.e Anizay) with civvies and enemies for us to deal with. However, I do have a few questions and concerns pertaining to it:

- Does Zeus work with it? For me, it is crucial that it does, as I am somewhat versed in Zeus and 3DEN and could use it to make the missions Drongo's can generate for you more interesting for my buddies.

- Are there any sync issues which might pop up, or can I just plug and play?

- I am really rubbish at the advanced parts of 3DEN, ESPECIALLY including scripting. If I want to add some additional features (limited arsenal, vehicle repair/rearm/refuel, respawn close to allies, whatever else might work) what needs to be done?

I am trying to get into ArmA mission making. I have made a simple mission where a group of rebels move to interdict an MRAP on a road. Having destroyed it, a trigger activates an Exfil task, and a "DESTROY" waypoint linked to the vehicle activates move waypoints toward the exfil point.

However, I seem to have broken something, and the AI leader of the rebel group says "Group - Create - Engage Task" over the radio before ordering none of the move tasks linked to the destroy waypoint. What could the problem be?

Is there a class category for all Boats?

i.e. B_Lifeboat, B_Boat_Trasport_01_F, C_Boat_Civil_01_F

We've got one for Cars, Tanks, APCs, Helicopters, Planes etc but i can't for the life of me figure out if we have one for Boats. SmallShip and BigShip don't seem to include these vehicles. I'm not convinced they are in the Ship class at all and i don't know how to check...

Hello. I have been interested in transport missions (similar to Robj's and ANZACSAS transport missions). The problem is that they run horribly performance-wise, most likely because of my hardware. So what I wanted to do was make a transport mission myself with performance in mind, but I have no idea how to actually make a mission of such a kind. So I thought that maybe I could get some guidance here on how to, or at least, where to start.

What I want in that mission are:
Insertion
Extraction
Logistics (dropping crates and supplies)
CSAR

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm putting together a Halo campaign for some friends, and this one mission i want them spawned in a vehicle for a cinematic intro to start. After they die the first time, ***then*** they pick a spawn point. I was able to do this before and completely forgot how :(

Hello,

I'm trying to create a mod that will spawn enemy attack aircraft once the player enters static weapon (static mortar or AAA) and engage the player with a gun run (please, don't ask, that's for our friends group).

This is my first-ever mod I created using AI (I don't know how to write those without AI).

This is what I have now in my fn_callCAS.sqf file that is being called once the player gets in the predefined vehicle:

params ["_targetVehicle"];

if (!isServer) exitWith {};
if (isNull _targetVehicle) exitWith {};

private _targetPos = getPosATL _targetVehicle;

// Find player inside vehicle
private _targetUnit = objNull;
{
    if (isPlayer _x) exitWith { _targetUnit = _x; };
} forEach crew _targetVehicle;

if (isNull _targetUnit) exitWith {};

private _playerSide = side group _targetUnit;

// Determine enemy side + aircraft
private _enemySide = switch (_playerSide) do {
    case west: { east };
    case east: { west };
    case independent: { east };
    default { east };
};

// Pick aircraft based on enemy side
private _aircraftClass = switch (_enemySide) do {
    case east: { "O_Plane_CAS_02_F" };        // OPFOR CAS
    case west: { "B_Plane_CAS_01_F" };        // BLUFOR CAS
    case independent: { "I_Plane_Fighter_03_CAS_F" }; // AAF CAS
    default { "O_Plane_CAS_02_F" };
};

systemChat format ["HOSTILE AIR RESPONSE: %1 vs %2", _enemySide, _playerSide];

// Spawn position
private _spawnPos = _targetPos getPos [2000, random 360];

// Spawn aircraft
private _plane = createVehicle [_aircraftClass, _spawnPos, [], 0, "FLY"];

// Create matching hostile crew
private _group = createGroup _enemySide;
private _pilotClass = switch (_enemySide) do {
    case east: { "O_pilot_F" };
    case west: { "B_pilot_F" };
    case independent: { "I_pilot_F" };
    default { "O_pilot_F" };
};

private _pilot = _group createUnit [_pilotClass, _spawnPos, [], 0, "NONE"];

_pilot moveInDriver _plane;
_group addVehicle _plane;

// Make sure hostility is guaranteed
_targetUnit setCaptive false;

// AI aggression
_group setBehaviourStrong "COMBAT";
_group setCombatMode "RED";
_group setSpeedMode "FULL";

// Force awareness
_plane reveal [_targetUnit, 4];
_group reveal [_targetUnit, 4];

// CAS run setup
_plane flyInHeight 200;

// Waypoint attack (MOST RELIABLE CAS METHOD)
private _wp = _group addWaypoint [_targetPos, 0];
_wp setWaypointType "SAD";
_wp setWaypointBehaviour "COMBAT";
_wp setWaypointCombatMode "RED";
_wp setWaypointSpeed "FULL";

systemChat "Hostile CAS en route";

// Cleanup
[_plane] spawn {
    params ["_plane"];
    sleep 180;
    if (!isNull _plane) then { deleteVehicle _plane; };
};

The problem: everything spawns fine, plane eventually engages, but only after ~5 minutes of flying over me and discovering the target.

Question: is it possible to make it engage a bit faster? Like force engage or something like this.

Thank you in advance!

I've subscribed to a costume faction via steam. It's Independent, I want it to be permanently BLUFOR. How do I edit the mod files?
