I having issue about acf engine has disabled: The engine must be paranted to an ACF baseplate
How do i solve it?

@thecraftianman
I don't wanna be rude,
are older versions of ACF an option though?
Architector #4 13 Sep @ 10:30pm 
May I ask the FAQ entry linked below to be updated with rationale? My most worked on ACF contraption right now is where the engine itself acts as "the baseplate", with all wheels and gearboxes and the fuel tank constrained to it. I'm finding myself in a rather sudden tight spot now that I apparently have to introduce an extra prop and redoing all constraints and making sure it still works just as well with the new weight distribution.

I can uncheck the legal check checkbox for singleplayer, but that might be unfeasible to ask of admins of servers lol

What would you want that for lol

@vegan food user Would you be willing to provide us with the dupe? There's likely something about that specific setup that's causing errors, which we could probably fix if we were able to take a look at it.

@bmwdealer Can you share the errors with us?

@AstalNeker @duk Please see https://github.com/ACF-Team/ACF-3/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#acf-engine-has-been-disabled-the-engine-must-be-parented-to-an-acf-baseplate

wtf is this shit: ACF Engine [146] has been disabled: The engine mush be parent to an ACF baseplate

So i can't just use my older vehicle ?? fucking dumbass devs
bmwdealer 7 Sep @ 6:58am 
It does no longer work. Causing so many errors on Dupe 2, unable to enter vehicles, Use E2, and so on.
vegan food user 31 Aug @ 9:25pm 
I have a little question, can you dupe the contraptions you've built?
I've put up a little turret and now whenever I try to dupe wether with the vanilla duplication tool, or advanced dupe 2 it just constantly gives out either an acf hint that it couldn't copy the baseplate properly, or the adv2 dupe straight up gives an error message and spawns nothing.
Am I stupid and understanding something wrong, or is this a bug?
Here's the error message:

"[AdvDupe2Notify] lua/cfw/core/connectivity_sv.lua:47: attempt to call method 'Merge' (a nil value)

im having an issue where i can't save my dupes when i put in a stabilizer into the vehicle, is this a problem on my end or something bigger?
duk 23 Aug @ 10:35pm 
is there a way to disable that stupid acf baseplate thing my dupes that i got from other people arent working
ADVAN 21 Aug @ 10:39am 
Can i set rate of fire? I see rate of fire thing with wiretool - "Sets the rate of fire of the weapon in round per minute" soooo??:csgogun:
20Niko10 18 Aug @ 3:44am 
I've tried this addon months ago, feels like it was much simplier then it is now. Why do i need to attach a ACF engine to a ACF baseplate? Why I can't just weld it to a prop, attach everything to get the engine up and running to start driving my dupe car? Do we really need more Crews? Why make it more complicated??

I'm already struggling to get the hang of it after not using the addon for months.

Heck even the addon for in game tutorials (addon: Ponder - In Game Tutorial System API) that you guys made is already outdated.

Wake up devs.
RydahGraffin 16 Aug @ 6:25pm 
you can still put 380mm cannons on the jalopy guys dont worry you just have to change some stuff in settings

че сделали с коробкой передач? даже авто конфигурация коробки не ебет как с этим работать :steamthumbsdown:
Ambeezy 4 Aug @ 12:02pm 
does this include pods?
thecraftianman  [author] 4 Aug @ 8:03am 
@DarKevin You can set the Minimum Crew Efficiency multiplier (located at Serverside Settings > General Settings > Minimum Crew Efficiency) to 1 to disable the extra spread added by not having a gunner connected.

@Black Wolf You can do that if you go to Serverside Settings > Legal Checks > "Allow arbitrary parenting of ACF entities" and check that box.

@Snow™ ACE is not compatible with ACF, no. You can only use one or the other because their files will override each other.
Snow™ 4 Aug @ 4:16am 
is ACE compatible with ACF?
V4D3R 27 Jul @ 1:31am 
update?
Black Wolf 25 Jul @ 9:03am 
Why can't I just weld a cannon to a car, weld a box of cartridges as well, and then use a Wire mod to make my guns fire? :papyrus:
DarKevin 20 Jul @ 9:36pm 
Is there a way to make weapons 100% accurate/no random spread, for testing stuff?

Silica 14 Jul @ 4:01pm 
bro tfk are yall doing to this addon, like i get it, more work put into it now more than ever before.

but please explain what is up with the constant untested push's to main, because theres no way this is how it has to be. like im having trouble learning really important quirks about acf 3 because things get changed the second i get an idea.

like genuinely whats up with that, whats the mentality i gotta know,
LiMa 13 Jul @ 3:36am 
and how can i change magazine capacity?
LiMa 13 Jul @ 2:40am 
"guns can only be parented to turret entities and must have baseplate root ancestor" i cant parent my prop
thecraftianman  [author] 12 Jul @ 8:21pm 
@hamburger_walter_white Use an ACF baseplate entity as your baseplate or convert your previous one into an ACF one with the menu tool under the Baseplates tab.

@Дядько Язов What in particular is causing you issues?
new update is bad. All my tanks and artillery is ruined
hamburger_walter_white 2 Jul @ 11:27pm 
how to fix "guns can only be parented to turret entities and must have baseplate root ancestor"
hamburger_walter_white 2 Jul @ 10:45pm 
Don't know how to set a root ancestor for the gun/turret. just wanted to put a 20mm on a car smh

@5G Ronald Reagan @[NSWP]Corporal the first @LORD FOOB THE 2ST @Reimu-hakurei @EDSHOT etc.

This addon is not static, no ACF iteration has ever been, ACF-3 unfortunately just has stagnated in development for a while and the last year alone has had more focus put into it than the previous 3 years. We're trying to let these things remain toggleable and backwards compatible but that is not 100% possible to accomplish.
march  [author] 2 Jul @ 5:07pm 
It is very easy to turn this stuff off. Please go to the ACF menu, serverside settings, legality checks, and disable arbitrary parenting restrictions. Then set the crew efficiency multiplier to 1.0.

We introduced these changes because they were necessary for combat balancing - we are the Armored *Combat* Framework after all - but if you don't want those changes you can disable them. We have plenty of other legality checks for common sense issues and I don't get why this is such a big deal beyond being new change.
5G Ronald Reagan 1 Jul @ 4:50am 
Bad update, all these changes relating to combat ruin unarmed dupes for no upside.
Corporal the first 27 Jun @ 3:03pm 
y'all ruined what was fine, enforcing stuff like this suppresses people's freedom when it comes to building and over-complicates what didn't need to be. Not to mention the previous ruleset was just fine
Ktotoshniy 27 Jun @ 1:39am 
Expand the min/max gearbox gear ratio settings maybe? before the update you could set it as low as 0.01 (which is 100 in the new inverted units)
Reimu-hakurei 26 Jun @ 4:05pm 
same lord foob
[AV] LORD FOOB THE 2ST 26 Jun @ 10:02am 
this is so fucking shitty
my old dupes dont work
when i spawn a fucking howitzer or any other guns it says acf gun disabled can only be parentet to a turret bla bla fuck you
Nukenugget 25 Jun @ 6:11am 
I get that people are upset because the old builts dont work anymore but we got the WAC turret back guys. no more camara fidgeting! I'm so happy with this I waited like 10 years for the turret to come back. Thanks!
Reimu-hakurei 24 Jun @ 8:14pm 
IT'S BROKEN, IT DOESN'T WORK, it can't be used in single player mode, it has a lot of bugs, leave it as it was so we can use it, there's no need to fix something that isn't broken.:steamthumbsdown:
Reimu-hakurei 24 Jun @ 8:13pm 
ESTÁ ROTO, NO FUNCIONA, no se puede usar en el modo de un solo jugador, tiene muchos errores, déjelo como estába para que podamos usarlo no es necesario arreglar algo que no esta roto

@thecraftianman
"We think that turning on the new requirements by default was necessary to improve combat balance."
That's a very subtle way of saying "We want every server to use our new system and not be able to use their dupes because we lost ACF battles in a nearly two decade old video game and my ego is shattered now."

Even with changing all the settings some old dupes don't work as they originally did or are broken now.
SERB 24 Jun @ 4:56am 
With the update, robots, UFOs, and homemade rockets broke down.
SERB 24 Jun @ 4:33am 
thanks
thecraftianman  [author] 23 Jun @ 3:42pm 
@noon We think that turning on the new requirements by default was necessary to improve combat balance. We don't like breaking existing dupes either, but in this case we felt that it might be justified. There's plenty of new content that was added to make fixing older dupes much easier too, though, and there are server settings to turn them off entirely if you want to keep using those dupes without having to update them.

@SERB @Россиянин You can turn off the parenting restrictions at Serverside Settings > Legal Checks > "Allow arbitrary parenting of ACF entities" and the crew restrictions at Serverside Settings > General Settings > Minimum Crew Efficiency.
SERB 23 Jun @ 1:10pm 
Can the crew be turned off too?
