Replacement config for M14/M1A issue/s

[nzdfcrash 33]

Hi all yet again. I'm 'trying' to replace the default m14 in oa with a customised one i've worked on with a nicer model as the default is shockingly bad ie animations, ammo and recoil as well as not having full auto.

I've had a look at some replacement configs which my variation is based off roughly and the issue is well its not doing its job as in replacing the default M14.

Here's my config of which i don't spot any foreseeable issues with it, doesn't crash Binpbo and the log doesn't provide any clue/s.

class CfgPatches {

class ncs_m14_fix {
	units[] = {};
	weapons[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 0.100000;
	requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons", "CAAir", "CATracked"};
};
};


class cfgMagazines {
/*extern*/ class CA_Magazine;

class 20Rnd_762x51_DMR: CA_Magazine {
	scope = 2;
	displayName = "$STR_MN_DMR";
	picture = "\ca\weapons\data\equip\M_US_DMR_CA.paa";
	count = 20;
	ammo = "B_762x51_Ball";
	initSpeed = 900;
	reloadMagazineSound[] = {"\ca\Weapons\Data\Sound\M21_reload_v4", 0.010000, 1, 20};
	descriptionShort = "$STR_DSS_20RND_DMR";
};
};

Fingers crossed someone can spot the issue :D

Some kind of a blind shot: are you sure the original weapon is defined in CAWeapons and not in CAWeapons_E? Also try to add the classname into the weapons array in cfgPatches section.

Myke spotted the problem. When changing something you always have to put the addon you change under required addons.

This should do the trick:

 requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons_E","CAweapons","CAWeapons_E_M14","youraddon"};

Excellent thanks your solution worked.
