Thanks a bunch - gonna be asking more questions probably 😄

#

now AFK for smoking

I'm going out to pub... 🍻 so don't expect any support from me anytime soon.
You can find more people with hemtt knowledge on ace slack tho.

sharp pagoda Jul 12, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

I've found out that i cannot see my vehicles / faction in zeus

#

yet i have set

#

scope = 2;
scopeCurator = 2;

#

in CFGVehicle

#

any ideas what else can be causing it?

idle matrix Jul 12, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

do you mean you have that in the CfgVehicle class, or the vehicle's actual class?

sharp pagoda Jul 12, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

the vehicle's class itself

#

say

#

i have me base class

#

and then i make a public version of it like this

#

        scope = 2;
        scopeCurator = 2;        // 2 means available from Zeus, whereas 0 means hidden
        // Editor displayname
        accuracy = 1000;    // accuracy > 4 is not possible to be fully recognized during game
        displayName = "SDK-251/1 Auf. C [Standart]";    // due to above will show only in editor
    };```

#

it shoud be visable, but i do not know why i cant see it

strange egret Jul 13, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

is it added to cfgpathes ? i guess not

sharp pagoda Jul 13, 2019, 12:34 PM

#

yrp, i didnt

#

i added them and i still cant see them in zeus

#

i can see them in editor but not in zeus

#

i have multiple vehicles in all diferent pbos btw and i have in all of them these files:

#

CfgPatches, CfgVehicleClasses, CfgFactionClasses

#

for them to show up in zeus

#

and it all of the induvidual cfg patches i have the vehicle's public class name

#

class CfgPatches {
    // Avoid confusing users by keeping class name match the PBO name and path.

untold temple Jul 13, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

Why do you have the same cfgpatches classname for all of them?

#

they're all class PZD23_vehicles_01_blue

#

That should be unique for each addon

novel lava Jul 13, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

why do you have scope=2 and scopecurator in cfgpatches

hearty sandal Jul 13, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

👀 indeed those need to be inside the actual cfgVehicles class for that vehicle

sharp pagoda Jul 13, 2019, 1:45 PM

#

yeeeep. they are in cfgvehicle

#

i missread a suggestion

#

isn PZD23_vehicles_01_blue in CFGPatches refering to the faction?

granite grotto Jul 13, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

Anyone can help me with my addon?

I have uploaded what I got on my P drive to github here -> https://github.com/IgorSzyporyn/bawaforl

It is a minimal addon that should simply just add a flag - but proProject wont crunch

#

I yanked what made sense from a dePbo of RHS: AFRF

#

When I know I can pack this - there will be a faction as well

novel lava Jul 13, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

well your config.cpp is missing the includes

#

so all your .hpp files are worthless

granite grotto Jul 13, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

thought they would be auto included based on their namespace

#

well thats a start 😄

#

do I include first or last in the file - or wont it matter?

novel lava Jul 13, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

doesnt matter

#

well, you want it after cfgpatches

#

so last i guess

granite grotto Jul 13, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

and also some stuff was puzzling - kind of black box in the dePBO I did

#

like no reference of the file "script_component.hpp" or it being included

#

makes me think there is a surrounding dev setup to be installed if I wanna do the thing I wanna do - also the Stringtable file puzzled me - how it got involved in the process

#

but could be pboProject that does it..?

hearty sandal Jul 13, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

@granite grotto what mod have you unpacked?

granite grotto Jul 13, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

Basically the addon will just have a faction, orbat and flag to use

#

RHS: AFRF

hearty sandal Jul 13, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

They do have a more complex setup for their own dev methods

granite grotto Jul 13, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

I'm more than willing to go with a much simpler setup 😄

hearty sandal Jul 13, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

So for the uninitiated it might be too much

#

Best to look into unpacked vanilla Arma configs or use the Config dump from the BI forums

granite grotto Jul 13, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

Just wanna do a faction based addon so I can get on with my game world 😄

vital tundra Jul 13, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

Bit of a general question, but does anyone know if there are any good examples (or if this is even possible in ArmA) of a hovercraft? Something that can quickly move over water, but also move almost equally well on land?

strange egret Jul 13, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

yes you can make them (use carX simulation as base)

granite grotto Jul 13, 2019, 7:55 PM

#

Anyone know why my marker image is being distorted to square shape - it has the same dimensions as for instance flag_nato_co.paa

#

Also in the dropdown in ALiVE ORBAT module - where you pick a flag for your new fact - it is also showing with distorted proportions in relation to other

#

size is 512x256 btw

#

class CfgMarkers
{
    class flag_NATO;
    class baw_flag_ORL: flag_NATO
    {
        name = "Orthodox Republic of Limnos";
        icon = "\@baw\addons\main\data\flag\flag_orl_512.paa";
        texture = "\@baw\addons\main\data\flag\flag_orl_512.paa";
    };
};

#

and now I look at it - probably because icon has different proportions...

grand zinc Jul 13, 2019, 8:01 PM

#

the path also looks very wrong

hearty sandal Jul 13, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

Never use @ folders

#

And generally it's not advice to use addons folder in there either.

#

Your folder structure could look like baw\baw_main\data\stuff or just baw_main\data\stuff

#

Assuming baw is your mod to begin with and not something you unpacked.

strange egret Jul 13, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

with baw_main being your "addon name" in cfgPatches

granite grotto Jul 13, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

ok thanks guys

#

I wanted to make an entry for the dropdown when you use ALiVE Orbat Module - and it turned out it was CfgMarkers that kicks that feature off

#

I was pursuing this thing - can people tell me what it is?

#

// Add the country flag as a flag carrier
class FlagCarrier;
class baw_Flag_ORL_FC: FlagCarrier
{
  author = "Badgers Community"
  displayName = "Orthodox Republic of Limnos";
  _generalMacro = "baw_Flag_ORL_FC";
  scope = 2;
  scopeCurator = 2;

  class SimpleObject
  {
    eden = 0;
    animate[] = {{"flag",0}};
    hide[] = {};
    verticalOffset = 3.977;
    verticalOffsetWorld = 0;
    init = "''";
  };

  class EventHandlers
  {
    init = "(_this select 0) setFlagTexture '\@baw\addons\main\data\flag\flag_orl_512.paa'";
  };
}

hello all , i have made a throwable stone grenade that works great but can't seem to get the Ai to use it .I use a ai unit with just my throwable stone grenade, but they will not throw it ,but if i add any other grenade then they will throw that .Any help would be great thanks. this is my cfg ammo class stone_grenade: SmokeShell { timeToLive=900; grenadeFireSound[]={}; grenadeBurningSound[]={}; model="\Medieval_stone_weapons\stone.p3d"; simulation = "shotShell"; SoundSetExplosion[] = {""}; soundHit[] = {"", 0, 1}; hit = 10; cost = 1; indirectHit = 0; indirectHitRange = 0; deflecting = 5; airFriction = -0.001; whistleDist = 16; typicalSpeed = 26; explosionTime=0; fuseDistance=0.5; directionalExplosion = 0; deflectionSlowDown = 0.8; simulationStep = 0.05; supersonicCrackNear[] = {}; supersonicCrackFar[] = {}; soundHit1[] = {}; soundHit2[] = {}; soundHit3[] = {}; soundHit4[] = {}; multiSoundHit[] = {}; };

carmine zealot Jul 13, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

i got it working by changing smokeshell to GrenadeHand

hearty sandal Jul 14, 2019, 7:05 AM

#

That would make sense. Smokeshell is not offensive weapon

sullen fulcrum Jul 15, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

What do I do if my weapon isnt showing the ammo in the backpack

#

I coded it in to say the .45 acp same with the zubr but it doesnt show the ammo

#

magazines[] = {6Rnd_45ACP_Cylinder};

somber cloak Jul 15, 2019, 7:15 AM

#

try magazines[] = {"6Rnd_45ACP_Cylinder", "6Rnd_45ACP_Cylinder"};

hearty sandal Jul 15, 2019, 7:16 AM

#

If you have only 1 mag it goes into the weapon

somber cloak Jul 15, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

well he didnt encapsulate his ammo in quotation marks either

grand zinc Jul 15, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

config stuff usually auto falls back to quotes.
Though not sure if the "word" starts with a number 🤔

somber cloak Jul 15, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

maybe, but if he writes his config correctly the first time, rules out further issues

hearty sandal Jul 15, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

I suggest using pboProject to pack it.

hearty sandal Jul 15, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

@versed kindle I think you may have wasted your time as so far there has not been a ST mod that uses legit assets and each of them are build on ripped models from other games.

#

also you should delete your message from other channels as crossposting is not allowed

#

nope

#

but also IP theft is not taken very well around here so you may have hard time finding help

hearty sandal Jul 15, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

you really dont care about using stolen assets?

#

its not internal if you share it with friends. Its a matter of principle

strange egret Jul 15, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

eitherway its illegal

#

"i pirated your videogame, i have no issue with it. I may replace it with a legit copy later... maybe" ... nope, still illegal

#

oh i do

hearty sandal Jul 15, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

doing stuff wrong way is your choice but dont be supprised if it closes doors on you when you need help

#

lets hope none of them leaks it to a friend who then shares it with his friends and so on and so on then.

#

Oh but its not. Its on all of you

#

oh but if youre using stolen assets and someone leaks that it does not mean youre not just as responsible in the eyes of the law

#

but youve been informed now

#

carry on as you see fit

Is it?

grand zinc Jul 15, 2019, 7:17 PM

no

#

the actual code

#

unpack the pbo where it's in. Or the ingame functions viewer

#

I assume you most likely can't do it. But dunno

Can someone help me with ACE and making a thermal-seeking missile?
I'm completely lost in trying to get the guidance to work. It appears to guide if the missile is close, but then immediately turns away from the target.

Can anyone tell me if "rarityGroup" in the following config snippet works so 0 is VERY rare (will never show) and 1 is NOT AT ALL RARE (will 100% show up) - or the other way around?

    class aw_group_orl_infantry_squad_sniper
    {
        name = "Infantry Sniper Squad";
        side = 0;
        faction = "aw_faction_orl";

        rarityGroup = 0.75;
         };

#

well not "show up" - be used I guess

#

And also - I've seen "Air groups" with both men and without men to go along with the air unit (say a helicopter)

Is it so that if I do not add any humans to the group then it will just default load crews, and if I do load in humans in the group - then it will override crewmembers with my guys

having a small issue with triggerAmmo command

I know it was discussed in the past, and I'm partly getting where I want to be

i want to detonate a 40mm grenade on a firing range designed to simulate a battlefield for new recruit training

triggerAmmo _G_40mm_HE;
_this setDamage 1;```

This creates a 40mm round on the ground...but it doesnt detonate it. removing either/or triggerammo and/or setDamage doesnt resolve issue

#

however, I did get C-4 charges to explode using CreateVehicle and setDamage alongside a uiSleep command on ANOTHER trigger...so I was a little surprised to see that one trigger detonated ALL charges

hot pine Jul 16, 2019, 8:08 PM

#

@candid flower _g_40mm_he variable is unassigned/undefined

#

my_splendid_var = "G_40mm_HE" createVehicle position Tube1;triggerAmmo my_splendid_var

candid flower Jul 16, 2019, 8:49 PM

@hot pine i just plugged that into a trigger. it created the round on the ground...but the round did not explode - it just disappeared

hearty sandal Jul 17, 2019, 11:36 PM

it means the server has a key it checks against the keys of the pbos on the client and if they dont match the client gets kicked

it prevents use of modified/wrong version of client files

Hello, i need some help. How do i make so when someone enters my server they cant set by themselves the roles of police and EMS? how do i lock it to make a whitlelist?

sullen fulcrum Jul 18, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

So I tried to make a config with custom ammunition

#

But in game the ammo type doesnt appear in the arsenal, so I cant add any more to my loadout

#

What could be the issue, the CfgAmmo or the CfgMagazine?

idle matrix Jul 18, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

is the weapon configured to accept the custom magazine?

sullen fulcrum Jul 18, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

Yes

#

It gives me 3 in the inventory

#

and I am able to fire fine just doesnt appear in arsenal

#

I think at least. Im noticing now in the inventory it says the mag is accepted for the TRG and a few other variants but not my weapon

#

thats probably why

#

even though my weapon is using and spawning with the ammunition

idle matrix Jul 18, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

the bit that says what guns the mag goes in isn't automatically generated, so it can easily end up not mentioning guns it does work in

#

anyway, is the scope correct for the magazine?

echo trench Jul 18, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

Hey guys can someone add me, I am trying to reskin a helmet and I am getting a few errors

hearty sandal Jul 18, 2019, 11:15 PM

#

you can describe your issue here if its a config error

sullen fulcrum Jul 18, 2019, 11:37 PM

#

@idle matrix Im assuming the scope is supposed to be 2?

#

Its 2 for the actual weapon im assuming it would need to be 2 also for the magazine

idle matrix Jul 18, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

yep

#

2 is correct

#

are you making a new class for the magazine or trying to edit an existing one?

#

actually, can you just put the config on pastebin or something?

sullen fulcrum Jul 19, 2019, 12:02 AM

#

I ended up fixing it.

#

Few things were wrong.

#

The scope value had a . there, I had useless classnames that werent defined that were in all honesty probably breaking it.

Just your normal stuff

Is it possible to combine strings in a config class?
Like displayName = "Part 1, " + "Part 2";
so the final result would be displayName = "Part1, Part2"

#

I know doing it this way doesn't work, but I remember seeing it done somewhere a while back, but I don't remember where or how specifically it was done

inland gulch Jul 21, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

I am essentially just trying to add something to the end of the vanilla A3 string on a retextured object

#

that way, at least the first part of the string matches the user language

stoic lily Jul 21, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

@inland gulch https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/PreProcessor_Commands#.23.23
however not sure if you can do it with stringtables

PreProcessor Commands

inland gulch Jul 21, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

Am I supposed to do it like this:

#define STRINGMERGE(g1,g2) g1##g2;
class thing {
     displayName = STRINGMERGE("string1"," string2")
}

Or like this:

#define STRINGMERGE(g1,g2) displayName = g1##g2;
class thing {
     STRINGMERGE("string1"," string2");
}

#

the first one just makes the display name literally appear as STRINGMERGE("string1"," string2") and the second gives a non-specific error in random places

inland gulch Jul 21, 2019, 7:28 AM

it works, just not with the string table strings

inland gulch Jul 21, 2019, 8:04 AM

#

eval/exec 'localize' is not binarisable
format doesn't work either

#

is such a simple task as combining two strings impossible?

grand zinc Jul 21, 2019, 9:45 AM

#

" is displayed literally, no matter what, in game" your macro is not defined properly, the preprocessor doesn't find it. And thus auto-fallbacks to the parse as string

inland gulch Jul 21, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

Is there any way to find any indication of what the specific issue might be?

#

For my specific goals I think it is most important to know if using macros could actually work with a string table string to begin with, because if that isn't possible then it really isn't worth the time or effort for me to figure out anyway right now

stoic lily Jul 22, 2019, 4:45 AM

eval/exec 'localize' is not binarisable
I already tried that

#

compile also doesn't seem to work in the config.cpp

stoic lily Jul 22, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

@inland gulch you can just pack a pbo - you dont have to rapify configs

grand zinc Jul 22, 2019, 6:56 AM

#

@inland gulch Ah I see, so the macro example you posted isn't actually the code you have?
Preprocessor is executed before packing, but you cannot know what language the user has before packing.
You could however use the preproc to build the name of the localized string.
Like

displayName = DOUBLES("$STR_BLA", "blub"); // -> $STR_BLA_blub it's a CBA macro.

inland gulch Jul 22, 2019, 7:14 AM

#

I'm not sure I understand

#

is doubles a defined macro like #define DOUBLES(x,y) x##y;?

grand zinc Jul 22, 2019, 7:15 AM

#

As I said it's a cba macro

#

https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/blob/master/addons/main/script_macros_common.hpp#L481
Ignore the leading ## that's an error that will be fixed soonish
#define DOUBLES(var1,var2) var1##_##var2

#

I don't think creating the name of a string table string is useful for much of anything tbh.
If I under stand correctly, in your example, $STR_BLA is not the name of a full string table string, and blub is not an entirely separate string that you are appending to whatever the localized version of STR_BLA is, but instead you get $STR_BLA_blub which actually represents a string from the string table

#

What I'm a trying to do is combine $STR_BLA_blub with an entirely different string from within the config, so the first half of the string is the localized version of whatever STR_BLA_blub represents, and the second half is whatever I added to it. So only the first part of the string changes depending on the user language, but the added part doesn't

#

I'm guessing this simply isn't possible

grand zinc Jul 22, 2019, 8:05 AM

#

yes

#

you cannot localize at pack time

#

There is the executable string code type in config that basically no pbo packer supports and that I've never tried out, which might be able to do that.

Is it possible to use head tracking to animate parts of an air vehicle, say a searchlight, in user controls? I've got something like this, and I want it to match where the player is looking in 1st and 3rd person POV.

#

In the past, I've had some success in making folding wings, similar to the F181's, and keybinding them to the combat/low-ready stance toggle (which is not typically used in aircraft). For me that's 2x 'C', so I press C, C, and the wings folded. I did all this without scripts. Head tracking is a bit more complex, but if this is do-able in config, then great!

novel lava Jul 22, 2019, 3:03 PM

#

Apologies if this has already been answered but does anyone know what this is referring to in yesterday’s Dev announcement?
“The weapon attachment arrays were updated, so mods may initially not be fully compatible yet. Please allow their creators some time to iterate as well.”

hot pine Jul 25, 2019, 8:29 AM

#

If you are using for instance CBA you might have to wait for update which includes new accessories variants

#

vanilla content is mostly still using outdated single array syntax for defining accessories so each time some new accessory is added, CBA have to convert it to JR

#

there is slow progress on converting it to that alternative syntax (which is available since 1.42 I think?) but there were some bigger issues to solve first

grand zinc Jul 25, 2019, 8:32 AM

#

Oh I think CBA doesn't have that on their screen yet. I'll poke them

hot pine Jul 25, 2019, 8:33 AM

#

thanks!

#

You can send them new accessories list

    "optic_Arco_AK_blk_F","optic_Arco_AK_lush_F","optic_Arco_AK_arid_F",
    "optic_DMS_weathered_F","optic_DMS_weathered_Kir_F","optic_Arco_lush_F","optic_Arco_arid_F","optic_Holosight_lush_F","optic_Holosight_arid_F","optic_MRD_black","muzzle_tma_65"
bipod_02_F_lush
bipod_02_F_arid```

#

there will be also some contact specific accessories but actually now I realized how tricky it will be to include them in JR

grand zinc Jul 25, 2019, 8:39 AM

#

Only downloaded for DLC owners with DLC enabled?
Not sure if Engine throws errors if you define accessories that don't exist?

hot pine Jul 25, 2019, 8:39 AM

#

yeah :/

grand zinc Jul 25, 2019, 8:40 AM

#

Do they really have to be in the optional part?
I mean, some small attachments won't make the mandatory download that much bigger

#

Don't think a compat mod is a big problem tho. CBA already has a couple optionals

hot pine Jul 25, 2019, 8:40 AM

they don't but probably too late to move that now

inland gulch Jul 26, 2019, 7:02 AM

#

So, I made some editor previews and used a macro to add them to the classnames of the things that they are for. I got it working by making an addon specifically for the editor previews that is loaded before the actual addon where those classnames are defined.

#define CLASS_EDENPREVIEW(x) \
    class x {editorPreview = \path\addon_editorPreviews\data\x##.jpg;}

class CfgVehicles
{
    CLASS_EDENPREVIEW(ObjectClassName)
};

This is my macro. The editor preview addon is loaded first, as I said, and the actual classes are defined in an addon that requires the preview addon to be loaded first. So, my question is, are there any problems I will run into by doing this this way? Doing it so the editor preview redefines those classes later causes a lot of inheritance issues, and I'm wondering if this might have some less obvious ones somewhere

#

Everything seems to be fine in game, so it appears to be working as I intended it to

hot pine Jul 26, 2019, 7:38 AM

@inland gulch you are missing inheritance so it's not going to work actually

That was the problem I ran into before, but if I load the preview addon first, it seems to work just fine

    class x: y {editorPreview = \path\addon_editorPreviews\data\x##.jpg;}

class CfgVehicles
{
    CLASS_EDENPREVIEW(ObjectClassName, ParentClassName)
};

So I'll have to do it like this and manually add the parent class for each object, then?

#

It's basically a major annoyance but I could probably process a list with a script from in game to make it easier and avoid mistakes

hot pine Jul 26, 2019, 7:46 AM

#

yeah, something like that would work

#

indeed, I would process it in script in game

grand zinc Jul 26, 2019, 7:48 AM

#

not sure if you really need the ## there? I think the . should already be a non-name character, thus be a delimiter

inland gulch Jul 26, 2019, 7:54 AM

#

@grand zinc I'll test it without them and see if it works.

@hot pine Thanks for the input

inland gulch Jul 26, 2019, 8:35 AM

#

#define CLASS_EDENPREVIEW(x, y) \
    class x; \
    class y: x {editorPreview = \path\addon_editorPreviews\data\x.jpg;}

It actually needs to be like this since it's a different addon

@inland gulch why not use missions/scripts to generate the code?

inland gulch Jul 26, 2019, 8:37 AM

#

I want to use macros for organization's sake and so I can add new objects easily once their preview images are ready

stoic lily Jul 26, 2019, 8:39 AM

#

generating the code is even easier and less work

grand zinc Jul 26, 2019, 8:43 AM

#

generate the macros using script \(O_O)/

inland gulch Jul 26, 2019, 8:43 AM

#

I have hundred's of objects with their own unique configs that don't have the editor preview paramater defined (I should have probably been adding them from the beginning) and a good percentage of the objects use their own macros that I wish to remain intact as macros (also for the sake of organization) so generating the code and manually extracting a single parameter and adding it to the class it belongs to seems like a bit too much work for me. I personally think this works best for my current situation. I have been needing to get this done for quite some time and decided to take a small break from other projects and check this off from my growing and incomplete to-do list lol

#

@grand zinc that's pretty much what I did

stoic lily Jul 26, 2019, 9:50 AM

#

you can just outsource the definitions to its own config (as you seem to do anyway)

The Unsung M-113 and some other tracked vehicles have main turrets that never turn with the vehicle, e.g. they always seem to face north. I've now tried to 'slave' otocvez to damagehide in model.cfg, but that does not seem to work either. Anyone knows which setting is needed so the main turret stays oriented with the vehicle?

strange egret Jul 27, 2019, 9:02 AM

#

Do you mean turret stabilization?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Turret_Config_Reference#stabilizedInAxes_.3D_3

gritty rune Jul 27, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

maybe, I'll give it a try

#

@strange egret thanks a ton, was looking for model.cfg stuff all the time, your advice was spot on!

#

another question in this area: when turning out the commander is out before the hatch opens. Is this a config setting or a delay built into the rtm of the commander out animation?

hot pine Jul 27, 2019, 10:21 AM

#

@gritty rune vanilla vehicles are using 2 stages animations for turn out

#

turning out anim and then, turned out one

#

it follows same principle as settle in animations in i.e. hatchback

gritty rune Jul 27, 2019, 10:31 AM

#

@hot pine thanks, but I fail to see this. I check the test_tank_01 in the samples and I have hatchDriver/Gunner/Commander. I don't see how they are connected to the driver/gunner/commander turn out action?

I'm starting to suspect that there's something wrong with the IdentityTypes and HiddenSelectionTextures entries in config.cpp files when it comes to implementing insignias and specific faces onto soldiers

#

I just created a mod with 100% vanilla ARMA assets...and in following along with how other working mods have configured their files, I repeated those configurations...and it STILL failed...

#

is there anyone here who has successfully been able to repeatedly get a soldier entry to deploy into the EDEN Editor with the right face and patch AND also get them to respawn with said face and patch in a live mission?

hot pine Jul 27, 2019, 4:35 PM

yes, see story characters

#

well, but I already see that you are doing it in wrong way

candid flower Jul 27, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

alrighty, what's the better way of doing it?

#

ive seen EventHandlers used, and that's worked ONCE on initial deployment, but not for respawns

#

and adding the EventHandler's script to the Respawn fields of soldiers doesnt resolve the issue

#

            editorPreview = "\AlphaMod\AlphaSoldier.paa";
            _generalMacro = "Alpha_Soldier"; 
            author = "[TLS] Commander A9";
            scope = 2;
            scopeCurator = 2; // Available in Zeus.
            scopeArsenal = 2; // Available in Virtual Arsenal.
            side = 1; // BLUFOR
            identityTypes[] = {"Alpha"};```

#

truncated of course

hot pine Jul 27, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

event handlers are way to go

candid flower Jul 27, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

            hiddenSelectionsMaterials[] = {};
            hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\AlphaMod\Alpha Force.paa"}; // Patch isn't showing up automatically...```

#

well i got my event handlers working for the patch only...identity still fails, and my configs match up with how other entries are configured in CfgIdentities, so im at a loss 😦

oh, so your eventhandler calls the specific face and voice, not the entry in CfgIdentities

hot pine Jul 27, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

yes

candid flower Jul 27, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

because ive used the face 'class' for lack of a better term for all NATO heads or all Green heads, but it never seems to work for a specific head

#

alright, ill try that

#

now does this result in the same face and voice each and every time upon a respawn? or does it default to the general 'default' face?

#

because i have that issue, even with eventhandlers...

hot pine Jul 27, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

probably init eh could be copy pasted as respawn too

candid flower Jul 27, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

im...not terribly sure what you mean by that XD

hot pine Jul 27, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

            init = "[_this # 0,'WhiteHead_25','male01eng'] spawn BIS_fnc_setIdentity;[_this # 0,'EnochJointTraining'] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;";
            respawn = "[_this # 0,'WhiteHead_25','male01eng'] spawn BIS_fnc_setIdentity;[_this # 0,'EnochJointTraining'] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;";``` like that

#

but try without respawn - perhaps setIdentity and setUnitInsignia functions are handling respawn somehow

#

not sure about it at the moment

candid flower Jul 27, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

roger. i was hoping there might be something like this, since weapons and items also have respawn entries

#

im surprised because there are BI entries without eventhandlers that seem to work just fine for implementing faces and patches...but then those fields are sometimes blank in the soldier attributes Identities panel...

#

bugs me a little...

#

ok, the faces work, finally. patches call too. ill try it with the respawn entry and see what happens

#

thanks so far @hot pine

Code: https://github.com/56curious/VKN_Offical_Mod/blob/master/VKN_Misc/config.cpp#L432

I've had this issue for months, have come back around to try and fix it. I want to have a custom main menu design.

In the picture, the left is what I see while in the GUI editor, on the right is what happens when the code is used.

I don't understand why some elements are displaying and some are not. In the code, lines 432 to 765 are the entire display adjustments. I looked into the script rscdisplaymain.sqf found in \a3\ui_f\scripts\gui\ but I can't see where my specific elements are changed from within the script. Of course I've left the IDs the same so that the main menu still functions.

If anybody has an idea on what I should look into, then let me know 😉

@pallid snow best overwrite the onLoad

also the delete may not work fully if subclasses depend on it (or you need to be careful to delete in the right order)

How could I make my custom mod icons show up? I've tried in mod.cpp but it just doesnt read them and shows the puzzle piece. Any ideas on how to fix it?

@thorny vine - mod folder name need to match CfgMods entry - I have to fix that bug one day...

thorny vine Jul 29, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

So I need both CfgMods and mod.cpp?

pallid snow Jul 29, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

The mod folder name needs to match it's entry in cfgMods

#

mod.cpp is the same as cfgMods, similar to how missions have some files for events like onPlayerRespawn (if i'm not mistaken, I've just woken up from a nap so I might be wrong hehe)

#

@stoic lily Gave the onLoad overwrite a try, it seems it doesn't even seem to run my entry (used diag_log as a quick test). In terms of those deletes, I got that order from the game files when I was looking at the classnames for the ones i wanted to "hide"

At least one of the animations classnames should match the source name

woven flax Jul 29, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

So the class in AnimationSources should match the class in model.cfg?

untold temple Jul 29, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

Yes. And if that user source is controlling multiple animations you add (I think) useSource = 1; to the animationSources class

#

useSource alone is enough to get the animation working once when you click it, but seems to stop you toggling it on and off unless one of the anims matches the name

woven flax Jul 29, 2019, 9:46 PM

#

welp that fixed it

#

just needed to get the model.cfg to match

#

Thank you

untold temple Jul 29, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

I guess the VhC menu uses animationPhase rather than animationSourcePhase to check what state the toggle boxes are in. But it will apply the animation with the animate command or the animateSource command, based on that config parameter

woven flax Jul 29, 2019, 9:53 PM

I would imagine it still would so long as the bones aren't conflicting.

is the radar dish using a scripted source or just the native time source?

#

The roating piece is radardish

untold temple Jul 29, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

if it's the exact same mesh in both selections you only need one bone for both anims, or you don't need to join the bones together in the skeleton

woven flax Jul 29, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

the entire radar section is radarselection

#

stand by

Radardish = https://gyazo.com/8bff2be860f5b64d1e286b0623752b98

radarselection = https://gyazo.com/d5cae63ed9c487ad33b10c7b4c4817b2

untold temple Jul 29, 2019, 11:29 PM

yeah, they're overlapping

#

remove the parts of radardish from radarselection

#

then it should be set up with the skeleton as "radarselection","", "radardish", "radarselection",

strong shuttle Jul 29, 2019, 11:36 PM

#

Missions are tied to a map, so either download a version of a specific mission for a specific map, or take all the code from map A and copy those in map B.
For example Antistasi has a version on the Steam Workshop for almost every single map available, and you can easily build it own your own map as well (see: https://github.com/A3Antistasi/A3-Antistasi)

Hey guys, pretty beginner sort of question. Is it possible to overwrite a stringable, and if so how? I want to rename an object in a mod without repacking the mod. Simply changing the name to a normal string is not an option, I need to change what the stringable says.

Secondary to this, can I overwrite a function? Eg; can I create a new version of an ace function and make it replace the old one.

I think this is the right place but might be wrong... Thanks guys

stoic lily Jul 30, 2019, 2:26 AM

@timber inlet you have to replace the whole pbo, or assign new string keys via config

(New here, so might be in wrong spot. Sorry if I am.)
I'm trying to figure out how to enable/give the Mk6 Mortar (or, more likely, a duplicate so as to not overwrite the default one) the Guided/Laser Guided ammunition.
Based on the BIStudio wiki, I've gathered that the "CfgVehicles_WEST" (for the NATO one) details the magazines the mortar is given when spawned.
I also downloaded the Arma 3 Tools from Steam. I have tried to find various files to do the bin->ccp conversion, but haven't found any that deal with the data I'm looking for.
Beyond that, I'm completely lost.

Working on a turret config that allows you to turn in/out.
What controls what position has what weapon? Basic idea is turned in has a .50, turned out has a FFV weapon.

Currently the primary weapon of my character seems to be the only weapon i can pick.

Config does have

                magazines[] = {"100Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Yellow","100Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Yellow","100Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Yellow","100Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Yellow","100Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Yellow"};```

okay testing now

#

Okay some progress, i can turn in/out. However now if I turn out i cant rotate character or shoot

#

Setting isPersonTurret to 1, i can move as FFV in both turn in and turned out.
Changing it to 0, i can use my vehicle weapon, but turning out means i can no longer use my FFV weapon

hot pine Aug 1, 2019, 4:45 PM

Anybody ever use head-tracking with the pilot camera? I tried this, but it seems very sluggish to start and then hard to stop. I'm already using head tracking for freelook, which works precisely as expected, and it would be great if the Pilot Camera could keep up with it a little better.

#

So, my point is that I was hoping there's a config parameter that changes the responsiveness of the pilot camera with head tracking input.

#

...or is there a config that can force using "Freelook" to aim the pilot cam?

can i assign multiple bounds to a wheel in the physX config?

i have some purely animation wheels that need to rotate

hearty sandal Aug 2, 2019, 12:29 PM

multiple bounds? how would that work?

I dont think you can do that

each wheel would neet to be separately configured

you can however run animations on any mesh with the wheel animation sources

yes, i have configured them with the source "wheels" and they work in bulfozer but not in game

are they part of some other animated selection?

dry carbon Aug 2, 2019, 4:28 PM

Any ideas what might make a tank immobile in a MP mission, even though it's definitely mobile in SP? I think it might be related to the hasDriver=-1; parameter, which enables it to be a one-man tankette fully controlled by the commander. If that's not the problem keeping it from moving in MP, then what else might it be? I'm already noticing that it won't turn off the engine when the commander gets out, and that AI can't drive it (of course, since it requires commander input).

hearty sandal Aug 2, 2019, 4:31 PM

#

It may need a fake driver still.

#

any difference on how it is created/spwaned in SP and MP test?

dry carbon Aug 2, 2019, 4:31 PM

#

I don't think so...

#

Another member of my team does the set up for MP missions

#

He's competent

hearty sandal Aug 2, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

is the problem with AI or player or both?

dry carbon Aug 2, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

I had made the tank months ago, and it worked in SP. He noticed the difference weeks ago when he set up a MP mission with it, and then we all tested it. He tried to find out if there was something different before we tested it

#

Well, AI can't even drive it even in SP. I've accepted that. Players can't drive it in MP, but the turret and guns work

hearty sandal Aug 2, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

could very well be related to the SP AI behaviour

#

so its a 1 man tank?

dry carbon Aug 2, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

yes

hearty sandal Aug 2, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

if you add AI gunner etc to it does that work then?

dry carbon Aug 2, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

Hmm... haven't tried yet

hearty sandal Aug 2, 2019, 4:44 PM

Could be worth testing if there is a connection

here's a video for visuals. The video topic is about visibility from the occupant's position, but it gives an idea of the configuration for this purpose:

#

Ok. I'll test that. Testing in MP is a process, because it depend on when the server host is available to upload

hearty sandal Aug 2, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

just local hosting with a friend would probably be enough

#

doesnt have to be a dedicated server

although it is of course a possiblity that it is somehow dedicated server issue. Just cant see how it could be

dry carbon Aug 2, 2019, 4:49 PM

@hearty sandal We ran some tests today. Without changing the configuration, my one-man tankette was half-working on a non-dedicated server. Only the host could do everything: drive it and use the turret/guns. Guests could only fire the guns and move the turret. On a dedi-server the admin is not able to drive it; I assume it's because he's not playing through the server computer as a true host.

I'm guessing it's an AI that does nothing, and then I use a vehicle lock parameter to disable it from getting out? Or... will it already not attempt to get out?

I dont want them to get out, turn on anything, move anything, or even try to think at all

Quick question (and I feel embarrassed for having to ask), but where do I start with that disableAI information? Is it something I put into the vehicle config somewhere, or does it require making an AI config? (Non-vehicle stuff is a little foreign to me)

hearty sandal Aug 3, 2019, 1:26 PM

It's a script command that could perhaps be run on the occupying AI on init event handler. It might not be the ideal solution but right now can't think of any other either.

you only need to make sure your are effective commander over the AI in the vehicle

For us, It's locked into the ground in MP

It actually tries to move, but it's stuck

AI wont move it

so if you are not effective commander, you wont/cant drive as result, and AI wont drive as there is no driver

the - - - - that when you press T they rangefind?

#

And on a second note, my FFV slots are really zoomed in when you enter them, they fix themselfs when you turn out/turn in, but when you enter them its like constantly holding your RMB

untold temple Aug 4, 2019, 9:31 AM

#

change turretInfoType to get rid of the rangefinder

hearty sandal Aug 4, 2019, 10:08 AM

#

And make sure your optics configuration is right. There is a parameter for default zoom. Perhaps that is incorrect.

Well you don't have the view stuff defined. So they are coming from the cargoTurret class you are inheriting from.

Yes. And that likely has some default values defined

Do any cargo turret positions on any vehicles have any changes?

sharp pagoda Aug 4, 2019, 10:18 AM

#

well for the rest of my FFv i have pretty much only changed the proxyindex name and hatchsource

#

and IsPersonTurret to 1 or 2

#

its just a minor inconvineance buts its ok

#

im still scratching my head at those wheels that dont wanna turn ingame, but do in buldozer

hearty sandal Aug 4, 2019, 10:37 AM

I meant check the final cargoTurret classes in vanilla vehicles if they add any view parameters.

#

What source are you using for the wheels?

sharp pagoda Aug 4, 2019, 10:38 AM

#

wheel

#

as for the default cargo turret

                    {

Dunno.

sharp pagoda Aug 4, 2019, 10:41 AM

#

as for the wheelsi can think of 2 solutions

#

making some "fake" physX wheels and assigning the bonenames to them

#

or switching the animation source to somethhing else

sharp pagoda Aug 4, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

welp i tried to implement my 2 solutions and pretty much none of them worked. the "fake" physX wheels broke the handling and the animationsource also didnt help a lot, i tried with speed and wheelL/wheelR (yeah i know they are tankX but it was worth i try) kinda ran out of ideas

hearty sandal Aug 4, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

any part of the models shoudl be possible to animate with the same wheel sources as your wheels

#

was it a tank or a car youre making?

sharp pagoda Aug 4, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

nvm fixed with animationsource speed, unsure why it didnt work the first time

In order to overwrite a vanilla function for compatibility reasons, would I have to make a mod or could I create a cfgFunctions entry in a mission file. Also, what would the config entry look like? To give some context, I need to overwrite a warlords function. I've already set up a scenario in the editor.

The project that keeps on giving.
Two issues in this gif.

https://gyazo.com/19e1049420aff6675cd758c721df958b

Issue #1: For some reason in the gunner view the camera will not follow the weapon. I have confirmed the proxy is weighted correctly and the model.cfg is correct. I copied lod 0 to gunnerview. As shown in the video the proxy follows the weapon just fine. Any idea what could cause this on config side?

Issue #2: Aiming down the weapon has a screenoverlay.
I am using gunnerOpticsModel = "\A3\weapons_f\reticle\optics_empty";
and
turretInfoType = "RscOptics_Offroad_01";

What else could be causing this?

untold temple Aug 5, 2019, 2:57 PM

Quick question, I can't get the notification system of A3 to work with localized text. My description.ext is as following :

class HeliDelete : HeliInfo
{
    description = $STR_heliDelete;
};

and my stringtable.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Project name="GSRI Opex Template">
    <Package name="Helicopter">
        <Key ID="STR_heliDelete">

            <French>%1 a été supprimé.</French>
        </Key>
    </Package>

What is wrong with this ?

grand zinc Aug 5, 2019, 4:46 PM

have you checked packed pbo to see if it contains stringtable.xml?

grand zinc Aug 5, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

no idea, it might

rustic cape Aug 5, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

it looks like it's not related to the notification system : when using localize "STR_heliInfo" a blank string is returned. Stringtable.xml seems to be ignored for some reason

#

tested with packed PBO : the stringtable file is correctly added but the string is not found either.

What controls animation of a proxy in gunner view? Is there any special things or is it pure related to model.cfg/selections in the p3d

so same model, i copied my LOD 0 to my viewgunner

#

notice how in the view LOD my dude rotates with turret. In the gunnerview it does not

untold temple Aug 5, 2019, 6:24 PM

#

should just be a selections thing. If you copy and paste the proxy from the working LOD to the view LOD it should work

woven flax Aug 5, 2019, 6:30 PM

Thats what i did but no luck

woven flax Aug 5, 2019, 6:54 PM

@untold temple Fixed by just removing the gunnerLOD

#

Which isnt very ideal

untold temple Aug 5, 2019, 6:55 PM

That would imply that there is some selection issue with the vehicle parts in that LOD, I would think

woven flax Aug 5, 2019, 7:00 PM

so deleted the entire LOD

copied LOD0 and make it gunnerview. Works fine

How possible would it be to make an autogyro in A3? 2think

maiden lodge Aug 6, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

Hi guys.
Im trying to make a basic helicopter flightmodel from thw ground up

#

in the Geometry lod I have put 5 boxes (left front, right front, left back, rightback and center)

#

with the center one slightly lower and but 20% of the total mass

#

envelope goes from 1.7 in stept to 3.5 and comes back down

#

when hovering though, there is no way to roll the helicopter left or right

#

until I get some forward speed

#

what part of the config or model controls that roll rate?

hearty sandal Aug 6, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

@maiden lodge are you inheriting some vanilla helo config?

#

also is it very big or very small helo or normal sized

#

and whats the overall mass

maiden lodge Aug 6, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

is a relatively small helo
like...5m rotor span.
inheriting from Helicopter class

#

the geolod, I litterally only put down 5 small cubes

hearty sandal Aug 6, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

do they have mass?

maiden lodge Aug 6, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

yes
total mass is 100.
20 each

hearty sandal Aug 6, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

that is quite low but probably should work

#

Arma geometry mass is not really comparable to real world things

#

often it has to be a lot more than the real thing

#

how wide is it?

#

can you try inheriting from say littlebird?

#

just to see if that changes anything

maiden lodge Aug 6, 2019, 4:13 PM

#

Ok I assumed, light would make it super manouverable.

#

Not on the computer now

hearty sandal Aug 6, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

Its a combination of many things I think

#

mass and weight distribution play a part and some config values too

#

yes. However which?
So far I just found:
p3d mass
Envelope
altmaxpower
altmaxforce

how far you place the boxes apart is very important - moment of inertia is the keyword.

might it mean random textures on decals?

like for terrain stuff?

#

@hot pine share ur sikrits pls

untold temple Aug 6, 2019, 7:13 PM

#

terrain stuff doesn't support hiddenSelections in general. I imagine it will be for certain vehicle markings. Numbers, maybe roundels etc.

#

karts have random numbers but i think they're using the license plate tech for that

hot pine Aug 6, 2019, 7:59 PM

it's for karts mainly

Are axis static or can can they be moved by other animations?

#

*Axis used in model animations

hearty sandal Aug 8, 2019, 8:07 AM

#

If bones are parented together properly their axis moves with them yes.

#

@calm panther in translation animation if you set the direction animation memory points the offset 0-1 goes that distance once and 0-2 twice and so on. Default 0-1 offset is 1 meter.

So if im gonna be using CBA, do I need to add the below code to each object im going to attach a script with Extended_Init_EventHandlers?

class EventHandlers {      
    class CBA_Extended_EventHandlers: CBA_Extended_EventHandlers_base {};
};

#

I added that because I was getting a XXX does not support Extended Event Handlers! in the RPT file and the doc said to use of the three methods to remove that. But do I really need tho?

IIRC, that's just a warning.

so I can just remove that, and I should be fine,nothing bad will happen?

stoic lily Aug 9, 2019, 2:44 AM

from what i recall if CBA has to use the scripted fallback, it takes some performance as this is constant checking on new entities

toxic solar Aug 9, 2019, 2:48 AM

hmmm okay, ill keep trying. the issue im having is if I keep that class CBA_Extended_EventHandlers: CBA_Extended_EventHandlers_base {}; part in , the script doesnt execute just for that one specific object

CBA just uses this macro to enable XEH in classes

Is the new ERA system tied strictly to tank simulation? Or can it be utilized for car and plane?

Slat armour uses the same tech and that's on wheeled vehicles

undone quiver Aug 9, 2019, 7:00 PM

My idea is instead of using it for actual armor

I want to to utilize it to simulate more dynamic battle damage.

untold temple Aug 9, 2019, 7:01 PM

You could do that with the existing hitpoints system and hide animations

undone quiver Aug 9, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

But this will allow me to make parts more weaker

#

.

untold temple Aug 9, 2019, 7:04 PM

You could give hitpoints a low damage threshold with the normal hitpoints system

undone quiver Aug 9, 2019, 7:05 PM

Can you still adjust what type of warhead will do more damage to that specific piece?

I am trying to setup a warlords game with custom factions and custom assets, even though I've never done it before.

In order to learn, I decided to copy paste the example given by the wiki https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_MP_Warlords#2._Custom_asset_lists

Sectors are indeed being populated and factions are set up correctly, however, the asset list is not working. Instead of showing the specific items in this custom asset list, it's showing only 2 things, the "Gear" and "Strategy" tabs.

#

Note: If I use the default asset list, it works.

#

Any ideas? Is the Wiki wrong?

#

Also, no error window appears upon initialization and during gameplay

fossil moss Aug 10, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

Is it possible to duplicate an Arma asset but with modified config?

quick sphinx Aug 10, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

Weird... I found this online

Seems to be the default code for Warlords, and yet, if I copy and paste this in my description.ext, it does not work

#

@fossil moss yes. It's called inheritance

weapon has its own fixed initspeed that overrides the magazine value?

wispy patio Aug 10, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

I don't think so?

#

this is inheriting from the apex RPG-7 currently

#

I don't think it has a set initspeed

sorted it out by giving it a higher init speed

question

Red Hammer Studios' Russian Federation mod deploys riflemen who are armed with AK-class weapons with a muzzle break automatically fixed to the weapon

im trying to prevent this, and my entries of no text in the LinkedItemsMuzzle entry are having the desired effect, but returning an error that says 'no entry cfgweapons'

is there something i can type in my cfgweapons attachment configs that will create no attachment WITHOUT producing an error? or, better yet, is there an easier way to deploy the rifleman with the weapon and NO attachment?

@candid flower have you tried just a blank entry like say cpp attachStuffBla="";?

candid flower Aug 10, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

yeah, still popped the error. it had the desired effect, sure, with no attachment, but the game thinks its missing an entry...

#

i checked the RHS weapons entry assuming an eventhandlers script was causing the attachment to appear - i didnt find one

#

stranger still...

#

if you save a loadout in the arsenal editor using said weapon WITHOUT the attachment, switch loadouts, then switch back, the loadout will reload WITH the attachment

idle matrix Aug 10, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

hmm, I don't know then

#

can you put your config on pastebin or something?

#

even if I can't help it's bound to help someone who knows what's up

untold temple Aug 10, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

They have muzzle attachments by default because they're in the linkedItems for the arsenal baseWeapon. There's nothing scripted involved

#

no entry errors will be because you're not doing inheritance properly

candid flower Aug 10, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

crap

        class AK74None: rhs_weap_ak74
        {

            scopeCurator = 2;
            scopeArsenal = 2;
            displayName = "Baktriastan Conscript AK-74";

            class LinkedItems

                    slot = "MuzzleSlot";
                    item = ; // Designed to incorporate no attachment; this is working, but returning an error.
                };

also happened with item = "";

idle matrix Aug 10, 2019, 9:56 PM

I think I see whats going on here, you're editing subclasses without having defined and inheriting them

untold temple Aug 10, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

Have you tried simply not putting linkedItemsMuzzle in there so it's just a totally empty class LinkedItems?

oh and you will need to baseWeapon = "AK74None"; else it will revert to rhs_weap_ak74 in Arsenal again

Hello, fellow Arma tinkerers. I am a rookie modder who is working on a reskin of an open source mod (the Crasus Shirt Mod). I have tried tinkering with the config.cpp file multiple times, but no matter what I do, I receive the error "Some input after EndOfFile" when I launch the game with the mod loaded locally. Note that all that I am doing at this point in time is testing a few custom skins with the original skins blocked by "//" Could a veteran please review my pastebin and let me know what I am missing? Thank you.

#

@livid sigil , thank you for looking through my documentation. I have not done anything with or to "Window Breaker." It is a functional Steam Workshop mod. I am (99%) confident that the issue must be within that original pastebin, which is the only config file that I have modified since I last had everything working.

#

Please let me know if you should have any other thoughts/ideas for me.

hearty sandal Aug 11, 2019, 9:33 AM

#

Looks like the window breaker could use some bug fixing.
If you are editing the downloaded mods files directly, you are doing retexturing wrong though.
You should be creating a completely new retexturing mod that only refers to the the original stuff.

worldly quartz Aug 11, 2019, 10:16 AM

#

@hearty sandal , what do you mean by that?

#

I am editing the source files that are shared on GitHub. For the sake of testing, I am simply blocking out the original skins with "//"

hearty sandal Aug 11, 2019, 10:24 AM

#

yeah you seem to have commented out all the important parts

#

the config is completely broken

#

I strongly suggest you dont try to edit it before you understand how the config works

#

Arma 3 Samples have some that may be of use in that regard as they are mostly commented with what each line does

@hearty sandal , thank you. I will look into those matters and see what happens.

The error that I am getting even with the original settings of the config.cpp (none of my changes) is "C_man_p_fugitive_F: Member already defined." Yet loading the mod as packaged originally does not yield that error message. Do you have any idea what is causing that problem?

#

Basically, the mod defines a new C_man_p_fugitive_F multiple times. It works as packaged originally, but it does not work when I load the file from GitHub locally.

hearty sandal Aug 11, 2019, 11:25 AM

#

I cant really say. From what I looked into the pastebin its all messed up in very basic level.

worldly quartz Aug 11, 2019, 11:40 AM

#

What level?

#

The only changes that I made were (a) attempting to add my own classes based on those that already exist (everything called "PSO...") and (b) attempting to block the original assets with simple "//" in front of each of the original "class ____" lines.

#

Also, I should note that the problem does seem to be distinctly within cfgVehicles. If I block cfgVehicles entirely but keep my own assets in cfgWeapons, then I am able to load the mod. I simply do not see the textures.

hearty sandal Aug 11, 2019, 11:44 AM

#

commenting out the classes is the problem

#

you left their contents floating

#

and basically broke the whole config

#

it would be simpler to make a new config and inherit the class you mean to alter

#

so that you dont mess with the original but derive a new one from it

hearty sandal Aug 11, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

MFDs are more advanced feature and Id guess you need to understand quite well how the configs work in order to make your own

#

@worldly quartz that means you have same classname somewhere in your config.

worldly quartz Aug 11, 2019, 2:25 PM

#

@hearty sandal , precisely. That is what I am wondering. The original mod's config defines C_man_p_fugitive_F several times. Is that acceptable?
