Arma Reforger has been built from scratch on Bohemia Interactive's new, Enfusion engine. This opens a world of possibilities for modders, but the additional flexibility, functionality, and depth can seem intimidating to the uninitiated. The Enfusion engine uses a completely different architecture from Real Virtuality, the engine upon which all previous Arma titles were built. As a result, anyone looking to create content for Arma Reforger or future Arma installments will need to adapt to the new modding system.
We understand this may pose a daunting obstacle for modders comfortable with the older engine. For those who have never created mods before, even more so. However, as you learn, you'll be using the same powerful tools as the developers themselves to create new systems, features, assets, and scenarios.
To help you along, we've decided to launch a series of Modding Boot Camps, aimed at teaching you the ins and outs of the Enfusion engine and helping you bring your creative visions to life more quickly. Starting November 20, the developers themselves will be presenting workshops, both recorded and live, and hosting Q&A sessions to cover the fundamental modding principles and their practical application.
Topics range from animation to scripting to how to create your own game modes and more. You will learn how to modify the game to create whatever you can imagine in Enfusion. Each month, we will announce new sessions, so keep your eyes peeled for updates!
The Modding Boot Camps will be hosted on the Arma Discord in the mbc_stage channel, and you can ask any questions related to the presentations in the mbc_forum channel.
If you miss a stream, be sure to check the Tutorials section of the Arma Reforger Dev Hub to watch the video and find any supporting documentation.
To kick things off, on November 20 at 2000 UTC, join us for our first Modding Boot Camp: Introduction to Enfusion, where Modding Supervisor Mario Enriquez will walk you through the Workbench, introduce you to the different editors and their functions, and give you an overview of modding in Enfusion.
