model.cfg translation gone wrong

ADuke · September 29, 2008

Hi,

I have a problem...

I was translating the model.cfg for my new addon from Czech to English because it will help me when I am editing because I don't have to go to google translate every time I try to edit the file.

First off, here is the model.cfg as it stands right now...

class Rotation;

class CfgSkeletons { 
class Car {
	skeletonInherit="";
	skeletonBones[]= {

	class ad_matv_m2: ad_HMMWV{};

};

What I did was...

Changed:

"pravy predni" to "wheel_front_left"

"pravy zadni" to "wheel_rear_left"

"levy predni" to "wheel_front_right"

"levy zadni" to "wheel_rear_right"

"volant" to "steering_wheel"

"osavolantzac" to "steering_wheel_begin"

"osavolatkon" to "steering_wheel_end"

ALL OF THOSE ANIMATIONS WERE WORKING JUST FINE UNTIL....

I changed....

"OtocHlaven" to "Gun"

and...

OtocVez to "Turret"

Now my turret and gun will not turn :confused:

Do these HAVE to be named in Czech?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sorry can't say I know the answer but I'll throw this out there. You posted this:

skeletonBones[]= {
                 	"ammo_belt","gun",

		"gun","turret",

		"obsTurret","",

		"obsGun","obsTurret",

		"reTurret","",

                 	"reGun","reTurret",

                       "gatling_1","gun",
		};

It seems like "turret" is the only "parent" I'll call it, that you don't have linked to "nothing". I probably said that wrong so here's what I mean, do you need this?:

"turret","",

Also, you have it in your cfgSkeletons but not in your ad_hmmwv_bones. Again, just taking a guess.

Thanks for your reply JDog, I seem to have fixed the turret issues (there was a conflicting definition in another model.cfg of mine).

I have a new problem, my stupid wheels won't turn left or right when I turn the steering wheel.

Here's my new model.cfg...

You can see in the turn animation that the axis for the animation ends in "zatoc".

I checked the ArmA1 sample models for any selections or memory points with the word "zatoc" in them, and that word doesn't appear ANYWHERE in any of the models, so how do the wheels turn if there's no axis?

I just want the damn things to turn, any help is welcomed, very much so.

Thanks,

I checked the ArmA1 sample models for any selections or memory points with the word "zatoc" in them, and that word doesn't appear ANYWHERE in any of the models, so how do the wheels turn if there's no axis?

I'm not the best at vehicle model.cfg's but from how I understand it, the axis is the wheel itself. So when it spins it just uses the centre point of the wheel model. Hopefully my "excellent" drawing below helps a bit, its a top down view:

Using your model.cfg as an example for this:

class TurnFrontWheelR {
type="rotationY";

source="drivingWheel";

selection="pravy predni zatoc"; - You will need to change this to whatever you translated it to I think. Maybe wheel_front_right/left

axis="wheel_front_left"; - change this to whatever the wheel is named in your 1.000 lod

memory="false";

animPeriod=0;

sourceAddress="loop";

minValue="rad -180";

maxValue="rad +180";

angle0="rad +90";

angle1="rad -90";

};

Hopefully that helps a bit, below is the same part on the truck I worked on if its any help:

class TurnFrontWheelR
{

type="rotationY";

source="drivingWheel";

selection="pravy predni zatoc"; - found in skeletonBones section of cfg.

axis="pravy predni"; - found on 1.000 LOD

memory="false";

animPeriod=0;

minValue="rad -25";

maxValue="rad +25";

angle0="rad +25";

angle1="rad -25";

};

And the skeleton bones, if it helps:

skeletonBones[]=

Sorry I can't be much more helpful...

OK, thanks for your reply.

It seems that the "zatoc" portion of the bones, use the dampers (tlumic) as parent bones, I hope I am right in assuming that.

Thanks again, going to keep messing with it.

Yeah I would have assumed something similar, by using the dampers as parents it would mean the wheel moves up and down as the vehicles moves over rough terrain so it seems logical to assume thats the way round the parent/child bone is.

model.cfg translation gone wrong
