Error in my clutter configs (but can't spot it by myself)

jens198 · August 8, 2001

Hi folks,

I'm updating one of my long time projects with textures from OA. Recently all the island's clutter worked without any problems. After I reworked my config files I don't get any clutter ingame. Maybe someone can take a look at my files. The simplification I only configured a single clutter "SAND" with two p3d-files on it "deadGrassBunch, GrassAutumnBrown".

BTW, the new OA textures show up fine ingame.

in cfhSurfaces...

//SAND
class sm_sandClutter

{

probability[]={0.9, 0.4};

names[]={"deadGrassBunch","GrassAutumnBrown"};

All looks OK at first glance... maybe add "cluttername" quotes like I've done above and, probably more importantly - the probability figures have to total 1.0... 0.9+0.4=1.3...

Thanks for your reply Bushlurker, but no joy so far. I have another map with basically the same configs (other texture files) and got clutter as far as I can see. :(

Jens

beton · September 5, 2008

Maybe you have the same classnames for your clutter and load both islands ingame. This will result in one island with and one without clutter.

For every island you should use different tags for your clutter.

Otherwise you assign the same clutter to different groundtextures what will result in no clutter on one island.

maybe that helped

jens198 · August 8, 2001

Thanks Beton. Seems like you were right. After your hint I rewrote my configs from scratch, found some other bugs as well and now I got my clutter. Thanks guys!

jens198 · August 8, 2001

Hi guys,

once more, a problem with my clutter *sigh*.

Currently I only got one clutter working: "j198_ntc_lgreenClutter"

The lgreenClutter covers the whole map and it makes no difference what I define in the CfgSurfaceCharacters class, every time, the map is completly covered with the lgreenClutter.

I already double and tripple checked the RGB values of the mask_lco.png with the values in the layers.cfg. Everything is fine.

I'm so desperate ... :confused:

Any help appreciated.

Jens

P.S. I updated my first post with the actual cfg.files.

An oversight, must be added at the beginning of the file "config.cpp":

#define private 0

#define protected 1

#define public 2

#define ReadAndWrite 0 //! any modifications enabled

#define ReadAndCreate 1 //! only adding new class members is allowed

#define ReadOnly 2 //! no modifications enabled

#define ReadOnlyVerified 3 //! no modifications enabled, CRC test applied

Well, this time it wasn't the configs but my personal stupidity.

Somehow the destination path in binPBO pointed to g:\arma2\addons and not to g:\arma2\@test\addons. That way I alway packed my new map in the regular arma2 addons directory while an old version of the map (with only one clutter) sit still in the @test-folder.

And when I noticed that the island won't binarize correctly if I use OA-clutter (just like IceBreakr did).

Oh well sometimes map-making for ArmA can be a painful experience...

Error in my clutter configs (but can't spot it by myself)
