we need 9x39

Thanks CL rautamiekka for the reply.

My community has started using GreenMag now and I think it's working great, with one exception: belts. Is there any way to disable GreenMag for the belts only?

@Darojax

1) Check the settings window itself (which would be the very best option, especially since IIRC the mod shouldn't have many of them).

2) Use the `CBA_settings_fnc_export` ( https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/blob/master/addons/settings/fnc_export.sqf ) function (which is a fairly bad option, since it'll export every mod's settings, but that way you'll get a string you can use search on).

3) Decompile the mod with Mikero's Tools (a problematic toolset to install and use in practice, so use the "All In One Installer") and look through the files for `CBA_fnc_addSetting` (or `addSetting`, if the mod happened to use macros to speed up coding the thing).

Cheers for this great mod. How would one find a list of possible cba_settings variable names that can be used, please?

Can confirm GreenMag is causing more issues with the mags disappearing. Vanilla servers rarely if ever have the issue now while GreenMag servers have almost constantly disappearing mags.

Communities without using greenMag told that the problem is fixed after the last Armaupdate. We still have the issues with using greenMag. Can you please check again?

GreenMag magnifies the problem honestly.

@everyone Arma 3 v.2.18 introduced a bug related to magazines dissapearing.
This bug existed since Beta as far as I am aware, but it has worsened with the last update.

To fix this you can use the profiling branch. Be aware though, that in a mp environment EVERY PLAYER AND THE SERVER has to use it, otherwise it won't work.

This issue is in no way related to GreenMag and it's not within my abilities to fix it. So here's hoping for a quick hotfix.

@Sligorix I can confirm, half Empty or Empty Mags disappear.

I believe this mod may have broken via the recent Arma 3 update. Is anyone else having issues with mags disappearing when reloading?

@BrGuardian
@CoseDola | Miller

I think only if you had separate config entries for every empty mag specifying 0 weight, which the newly empty gets replaced with. Which is a lotta work, to put it mildly, since config can't be modified during runtime.

Understandable, as my unit always says: "RL takes priority." Still, if you want any help with the mod let me know, even if that is just bug-checking.

@BrGuardian
That's not possible.

@SlumDoc
This is not the target of this mod. I'm currently working on such a system on the side as part of a different mod. Maybe I'll merge it into this one, maybe it'll be it's own thing. We'll see.

@SuperGamerman98
GreenMag is still in passive development. I'm currently reworking the whole thing to get it more stable in certain situations. One big part of that is reducing the need for extensive compat modifications.
But, this takes some time. My primary focus is on my work and my MilSim Community. They're taking precedence, I'm sorry. :)

can you make it faster?

@SuperGamerman98 Yes you may continue development, Licensing don't restrict that. Just add original mod in description to your.

Question for the mod author: is GreenMag still in active development? If not, may I have permission to continue development of it? This is a fantastic mod and one I enjoy playing with, and I'd hate to see it fall to the wayside as Arma 3 continues to get new content or if a future update to either Arma 3 or ACE somehow breaks the entire system. While I don't claim to be a coding wizard, I do have some experience in Arma 3 mod development, enough at least to expand upon already existing features and troubleshoot bugs and config issues. Full credit for the creation of the mod would go to you, of course.

Does this add mod add the capability to increase belt size past vanilla? It would be cool to see a system added where you can basically just constantly add belts to eachother (as something for an Assistant MG role to increase their helpfullness to an MG Gunner) so that they never have to stop firing to reload.

Is there any way I can change the weight of the empty mags, so they don't keep you heavy?

IFA3 and FacesOfWar compat?!

compatible with veteran mod?

Is there a list of every item's name? I wanted to add them to Antistasi, but I can't find any list that contains the records.

What would be an appropriate __has_include preprocessor condition to make a soft dependency for GreenMag? I've checked the configs as well as the mod's file structure to generate both of these lines, but neither of them work.
#if __has_include("\z\greenmag\addons\main\data\box_40rnd.paa")
#if __has_include("\greenmag_main\config.bin")

How do you add a caliber from another mod?

Have a Speedloader or change it in the CBA config?

Anyone know if there is a way to speed up the rate magazines are emptied and refilled?

same here it's a great mod

Or a compat for IFA3 and Face of war

Does anyone know if a compat Mod for Northern fronts? as i would love to use this with that mod due to the nice animations on that mod

Hey, how should I go about creating a 100 Rnd belt for 7.62x39? I've tried but no luck with that.

Burki, please do go ahead and do so, would be much appreciated!

Is there a greemag without the ace dependency?

Is there a way to make a compat for SOG like with the other Compats or is that just not possible? Im not asking you personally, but in general, I think I can make one

PLS UPDATE :CRY:

works perfect! It would be nice if we can edit the loading magazine time, because load 200 rounds may take a lot of time tho

@cheerytwinkie im having the same issue. what mods are you running?

Hey im bugging ever time i try to reload my mag with ACE its "Your already doing something"??? im even using a rook or a Grach i guess

I found, that if I play for long time, then repack get bugged. It remove from magazine more ammo, than is in magazine and during filling it it will put into it all ammo, which I have.

Is there a green mag compatability with Universal Ammo system?

will the mod be compatible for other RHS and 3CB?

Okay, no worries. I found a work around. As long as I have 1 bullet in each mag, I can save them. Thanks!

@Spooped Hobs
Not without rewriting the bi consistency functions, no

Hello, I'm using this mod in my recordings for the Arma 3 Single player campaign. My current issue is that when ever I load a 'new level, (EG, Camp Maxwell to Patrol), all the empty magazines I have are automatically refilled by the game. Is there a way to prevent this?

@Anda26 look at the unit modifiers in 3DEN!

By any chance adding a way to adjust the speed of loading mags? I know there's a speed loader but be nice to adjust the time to fill 1 mag without one

Ok thanks for the info! Hopefully, they will get sorted soon.

@Husker
SOG Magazines can not be read by the system. Sadly, the creators of SOG did not include the caliber of the ammunition in the magazine classname, something I personally haven't seen anywhere else yet. Because of that, they won't work until a patch is made.

Hi, I want to add SOG magazines as at the moment I can't use SOG weps at all as I cannot repack the MAGS. With reference to the following;

Do other mod items work?
Most of the time they do, but limited. Mods that do not have a compat patch will most of the time work with the basic system, because the caliber can usually be read from the magazine classname. This can only be impaired if the magazine does inherit wrong GreenMag values from another magazine.
To register a non-supported magazine as one that needs belts to work, use this:
[["Magazin_A", "Magazin_B"]] call greenmag_main_fnc_addBelt;



Specifically, where do I use this ( To register a non-supported magazine as one that needs belts to work, use this: [["Magazin_A", "Magazin_B"]] call greenmag_main_fnc_addBelt; ) I have had a look around the MOD but cannot figure out where to use that. If you could let me know that would be greatly appreciated.

Made a compat patch for RHS AFRF, feel free to add it to the collection if you want to!

What's with the speedloader doing nothing ? There's no mention about it, and the game settings for GreenMag don't mention it either, and putting it anywhere in the inv doesn't change repacking/unloading speed at all.

is this compatible with S.O.G?
