How can I make my own costum backpack ACE2 compatible?

[goldenfiver 11]

Hi guys,

I was able to create my own custom backpack and get it working ingame. Still, I can't get it to work with ACE2 (it is not recognized as a ruck).

This is (the key part of) my config:

class sample_backpack: USBasicBag

{

scope = 2;

displayName = "basic vest pack";

model = "\pi_backpacks\idf_basic_pack.p3d";

picture = "\CA\weapons_E\Data\icons\backpack_US_ASSAULT_CA.paa";

icon = "\ca\weapons_e\data\icons\mapIcon_backpack_CA.paa";

};

};

Just have it inherit from an ACE backpack.

eg:

class LoBo_Backpack : ACE_Rucksack

{

scope = 2;

ACE_PackSize = 20250;

ACE_Size = 20251;

ACE_Weight = 1;

displayName = "Template Backpack";

picture = "\x\ace\addons\sys_ruck\data\equip\w_molle_g_ca.paa";

model = "\LoBo_Backpack\Lobo_IDF_Assaultpack1.p3d";

};

class LoBo_Backpack_IDF1 : LoBo_Backpack

{

scope = 2;

displayName = "IDF Assault Backpack 1";

picture = "\x\ace\addons\sys_ruck\data\equip\w_molle_g_ca.paa";

model = "\LoBo_Backpack\Lobo_IDF_Assaultpack1.p3d";

};

Thank you, but I still can't get it to work.

class CfgPatches

{

class basic_backpack

{

units[]={};

weapons[]={};

requiredVersion = 1.6;

requiredAddons[]={};

};

};

class CfgVehicles

{

class ACE_Rucksack;

What isn't working? post your entire config - also remove any eventhandlers or extended ones that you have and try again.

This is the entire config. I am getting this when the game starts (it also crashes when I try to play a mission with my addon)

Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/ACE_Rucksack.scope'.

Try putting ace_sys_ruck in required addon array eg:

class CfgPatches

{

class basic_backpack

{

units[]={};

weapons[]={};

requiredVersion = 1.6;

requiredAddons[]={"ace_sys_ruck"};

};

};

ACE_Rucksack is a weapon not a vehicle.

I tried this:

The game still crashes

class CfgPatches {

class pi_backpacks {

units[] = {};

weapons[] = {};

requiredVersion = 1.6;

requiredAddons[] = {"ace_main", "ace_sys_ruck"};

};

};

class CfgWeapons {

class ACE_Rucksack;

class ACE_VTAC_RUSH72;

class ACE_CharliePack;

class ACE_FAST_PackEDC;

class ACE_Rucksack_MOLLE_Green;

class basic_vest_pack : ACE_rucksack {

displayName = "Basic VestPack";

picture = "\x\ace\addons\sys_ruck\data\equip\w_molle_g_ca.pa a";

model = "\pi_backpakcs\basic_pack.p3d";

descriptionShort = "";

};

};

To be able to help you should start by reporting the exact error messages and preferably RPT extracts of the error.

Narrowed it down abit.

My game crashed because I tried to play with a soldier that spawns with one of my bags. When I make a ruck-box of them, and pick one of them up, I get this : "Cannot open object" (the bag itself, is invisible, but still functions like the ACE2 bags, since I use a suitable config). However, the bag works fine with the usual arma 2 OA config (without ace 2). Should I change something in my model then?
