Helmet Addons

[Richards.D 761]

Hello gentlemen:

I want to get some custom helmets and such going, anyone have any clue how to do this yet? I see no sample models for this, so I'm not entirely sure. I've made some vehicles and buildings for Arma 2, but I don't see how any of that knowledge would transpire into building custom helmets, or even tactical vests/plate carriers.

I sort of know how I would write the config for a new helmet, but as for the Model.CFG, I honestly have no idea if there would even be one, or what bones etc.

Thanks,

Richards

Helmets were pretty simple, make a p3d with only the helmet with "head" selection as if it was on a regular soldier model.

then use regular arma 2 character model.cfg it will work, make the config, pack and it should be working ingame.

for positioning alot of trial and error to get it in the right spot in the p3d. :)

Someone is busy at work based on that picture :>

Looks nice.

Looks like it, plenty of mod makers are already working on getting things into Arma3. Like myself :)

With regards to the helmet, could write a small tutorial?

Heya.. nice work! When you say "head" selection.. do you also mean all the LODS, View -Pilot, ShadowVolume, Geometry, Memory, LandContact, Hit-points, Fire Geometry attached the "head" as well? Or strictly LOD 0 "head" named selection?

thanks..

Ok, so quick and basic tutorial of how i did it.

First of set up your addon, if you use your own layout or whatever

setup the config file to your needs, and the model config as taken from the arma 2 sample soldier model for instance.

Then setup the model in O2, pretty simple i only use one LOD for now, viewpilot one is empty.

might need a firegeometry to if you want to setup any kind of bullet resistance, and shadowlod for shadow obviously.

i have no mlod example yet since i need to make one with a sample model helmet and not our own :)

Pack it all up and it should be working.

Nice!

That's also the way I have figured it out to get it working too.

But it looks like that the helmets need a bit adjustments in a3, this which fits on a a2 model needs a little rotation on the front to the up?

Have you also make experience with vests? I got hem working but I can't define selections to left and right shoulder because this causes strange stretching

[SAMstudios-3Dartist 45]

Yes that is SAM in arma 3 ;) we are working on it :D

[pushbak 2]

stiltman, worked like a charm.. thanks A TON!

I'd still be curious if you learn anything more about shadowlods, or LODS 1-5 or whatever as you go on. And whatever other tidbits you learn. I'm wondering if at some point we'll have to use a new arma3 model.cfg for like the final releases? Or will that be irrelevant because as long as it's working it doesn't matter?

just a note for anyone else... don't forget to change the end of the model.cfg that stiltman provided to point to your modelname.. because at first it wasn't working for me because his example is pointing to "class headgear_b_myhelmet" but my own .p3d was named something else.

[Richards.D 761]

Just a little confused on one aspect: are you including a proxy of a head as well as the physical Helmet in that LOD?

No, you just select whole helmet, ctrl+a rightclick in the selection box and create new selection name it head.

[Richards.D 761]

Ahh right. When I get home today I shall try this out.

..Alright, I cannot seem to get my addon to work. The addon name is: dar_us_mich, but unfortunately I get an error when I attempt to load these from a gear box.

hmm.. not sure..

but you do seem to missed one _ on the model path..

model = "\dar_usmich\dar_mich_acu01.p3d";

compared to

uniformModel = "\dar_us_mich\dar_mich_acu01";

No luck so far.. here are the fixed files:

Stiltman, would you mind showing me your config files that you used for that working helmet?

[Stiltman 3]

how do you "call" the helmet in the editor?

or do you put it in an ammobox or in the init of the soldier.

just to make sure the item you trying to add is dar_us_acu_MICH

cos cant see anything wrong with the config in my eyes, same as my own, and it shouldnt be model.cfg issue.

No Entry Config.bin/CfgWeapons

sounds like you could be trying to add an item not existing in the configs, wrong classname or something like that.

[Richards.D 761]

I am attempting to retrive my helmet through a small script for a gearbox. It is as follows:

/////////   MP Ammo Box script
/////////   By: Riouken
/////////   For Arma 3

if (! isServer) exitWith {};


_crate = _this select 0;




while {alive _crate} do
{


clearMagazineCargo _crate;
clearWeaponCargo _crate;
clearItemCargoGlobal _crate;


////Helmets(working)////
_crate addItemCargoGlobal ["dar_us_acu_MICH", 50];

sleep 500;
};

---------- Post added at 18:25 ---------- Previous post was at 18:20 ----------

Here is a link to the full model.. unbinarized.. maybe this will help.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/23389642/dar_us_mich.rar

Also..

I noticed that in my config.cpp

I have this:

class CfgPatches {

class dar_us_MICH {

But this is different

class dar_us_acu_MICH : ItemCore {

Does that matter?

For some reason, no matter where I put my headgear model in 3dsmax, in relation to the head bone, nor where the model sits in oxygen, the model is always in the abdomen, but is attached to the head bone and moves around with it

10+ attempts later, still can't get it to move at least one inch, what's up?

you need to have Geometry LOD (even if empty) and it has to have "autocenter = 0" set in Named Property window. See the cap model in examples

[Binkowski 26]

You also have to make sure you have a model.cfg file with the models defined in it.

[troots 10]

Sweet, it's all fixed now, even if it took me 3+ attempts to place it properly.

But then there's another problem, it appears arma 3 completely ignores red channel in my custom texture, is there any way to fix this?

[Αplion 1122]

There is no need to place any new helmet to specific possition on a new character ...

Just use the default position given as proxy through A3_Character_Examples by BIS (do not change the proxy ... keep the original) ... the only thing after these steps you must follow, is to add these two lines in your character config (in CfgVehicles) ...

linkedItems[] = {"YourHelmetAddonName"};

respawnLinkedItems[] = {"YourHelmetAddonName"};

("YourHelmetAddonName" is of course the name of your helmet addon).

This works fine for me.

How would I take the Beret and helmet from BAF and add it into the Alpha?
