How can i re enable thermals on the laser designator?

[PabstMirror]

They are disabled in laser module
https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/laser/CfgWeapons.hpp#L6

What is thermal called in the arma coding language? Can't find it anywhere.

[PabstMirror]

Vanilla config is:

class Laserdesignator: Binocular {
    visionMode[] = {"Normal","NVG","TI"};
};

[vuther316]

When i replace the line with that code the mod will not start.

It says (file path) expected -795076085 B, got 39994 B

How exactly did you "replace" that line? You should do this with a patch PBO, not by fiddling around with ACE3's source.

@BaerMitUmlaut is right, best to make a patch, otherwise you will have to rebuild every time we reelease a new version.

Just throw this into a config.cpp in a folder called acetweak_ldThermals on your p drive and build with pboProject:

class CfgPatches {
    class acetweak_ldThermals {
        units[] = {};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 1;
        requiredAddons[] = {"ace_laser"}; //This makes the patch apply after ace_laser applies it's modification
    };
};
class CfgWeapons {
    class Binocular;
    class Laserdesignator: Binocular {
        visionMode[] = {"Normal","NVG", "TI"}; //Re add thermal vision mode to LaserDesignator
    };
};

What folder am i supposed to map the P: drive to? Also i don't know what you mean by "build with pboproject"

You can also use addon builder from arma tools.
Otherwise you can just download a build from here: http://www.filedropper.com/acetweakldthermals
