Hello guys. I am a new modder, and I am having some troubles with my first helmet. I suspect the problem lies in the model.cfg. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Here is the error message I get every time I add the helmet via the editor:

"File ironman\model.cfg, line 156: .MKIII_helm_model: Undefined base class 'ArmaMan'"

And here is my model.cfg:

Sadly, that crashes the game with no error message. I was going off of this tutorial: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147988-Helmet-Addons&p=2318293#post2318293

Would anyone be willing to look at what I have for themselves? This is getting just a little discouraging.

edit: Okay, so I fixed the model.cfg (the helmet tutorial showed it wrong).

And it still crashed the game. this time without an error message.

Then I realized i've been testing it unbinarized. So I binarized it, and everything is all good. thanks.

Hey guys, I would appreciate a little bit of help here, I'm trying to get a custom vest model to appear in game and I just cannot get it to appear at all, no matter what I try. The model was built to the dimensions of the example vest provided by Bohemia and converted to triangles, with correct LODS created. The best I can tell is that it's something with the config file. I've read through this entire thread, but clearly I must be missing something, so any help would be appreciated.

Here is what my config.cpp looks like:

class cfgWeapons {
class ItemCore;	// External class reference
class InventoryItem_Base_F;	// External class reference
class HeadgearItem;
class Uniform_Base;
class UniformItem;
class Vest_Camo_Base;
class VestItem;

   class Test_Vest : Vest_Camo_Base 
   { 
       scope = 2; 
       displayName = "Test Vest"; 
       picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_V_plate_carrier_1_CA.paa"; 
       model = "\test\Webbingtest"; 
       //hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; 
       //hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"NLD_2009-2014\DutchWVest.paa"}; 
       class ItemInfo : VestItem 
       { 
           uniformModel = "\test\Webbingtest"; 
           containerClass = "Supply100"; 
           mass = 50; 
           armor = 5*0.5; 
           passThrough = 0.7; 
         //hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; 
       }; 
   }; 
};

Looks like you are missing a CfgPatches class in your config and possibly a model.cfg.

config.cpp

   stabilizedinaxesxyz = 4, 
   stabilizedinaxisy = 2, 
   stabilizedinaxesboth = 3, 
   destructno = 0, 
   stabilizedinaxesnone = 0, 
   destructman = 5, 
   destructbuilding = 1

       //hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"NLD_2009-2014\DutchWVest.paa"};

That got it, thank you so much! I new it must be something simple.

Ok, so I'm working on this addon, which is actually more of a retexture. I've made pilot helmet, coveralls and one soldier. The helmet works fine. It shows up in game and it looks exactly how I wanted.

But when I equip those coveralls, it shows its original texture, not the new one. And I don't have my new faction there, so I cant get that soldier in it as well.

This is my first addon with config from scratch and I'm new to this, but I cant figure out what is wrong with my code (but I guess theres plenty of mistakes)

In your uniform class.

uniformClass = "B_Helipilot_F";

Should be.

uniformClass = "Hunter_Pilot";

class hunter_pilot_cvrall : Uniform_Base {
       scope = 2;
       displayName = "Hunter Pilot Coveralls";
       model = "\A3\Characters_F\Common\Suitpacks\suitpack_blufor_diver";
       picture = "\A3\characters_f\data\ui\icon_U_B_coveralls_ca.paa";
       hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; // Remove not needed.
       hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\Hunters\Data\coveralls_hntblck_co.paa"}; // Remove not needed.

       class ItemInfo : UniformItem {
           uniformModel = "-";
           uniformClass = "Hunter_Pilot"; //would be same as our made soldier class
           containerClass = "Supply60"; //how much it can carry
           mass = 80; //how much it weights
       };
   };

In your unit class change scope = public; to scope = 2;. And in your faction class change side = TGuerrila; to side = 1;.

Thanks! You're the best sir :D Now it works fine. Just a question, I see that the game automatically categorizes stuff, like soldiers under "Men", helicopters under "Air", but what if I want to add more soldier categories etc...?

surpher · June 2, 2004

Like this.

class CfgVehicleClasses
{
class Blah 
{
	displayName = "Blah Blah"; //What shows in menu
	priority = 1; // How far up the list it appears
};
};

Then add vehicleClass = "Blah"; to your unit.

saetheer · August 11, 2012

Could anyone help me out on where to start?

Is it possible to create a new faction that are pretty much equal to the standard NATO unit. I only want to change it's loadout. I dont want to use custom loadouts scripts etc. I simply want to copy paste perhaps 90% of the current units.

It's me again. I have another problem, but not in a code I guess. I cannot equip clothes or headgear from my crate (I can equip weapons tho) I created. The slot is red, and I can't even return it to the crate after that. When I equip the item thru VAS, it's fine. The NVG are in crate without icon, and cannot be equipped as well.

class Hunt_box : Box_NATO_Ammo_F {
	scope = 2;
	accuracy = 1000;
	displayName = "Hunter Stuff Box";
	model = "\A3\weapons_F\AmmoBoxes\AmmoBox_F";
	icon = "iconCrateAmmo";

	class TransportMagazines {
		class 30Rnd_556x45_Stanag {
			magazine = "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
			count = 50;
		};
	};

	class TransportWeapons {
		class Hntr_SMG {
			weapon = "Hntr_SMG";
			count = 10;
		};
		class NVGoggles {
			weapon = "NVGoggles";
			count = 10;
		};
		class HNT_VEST {
			weapon = "HNT_VEST";
			count = 10;
		};
		class hunter_pilot_cvrall {
			weapon = "hunter_pilot_cvrall";
			count = 10;
		};
		class hnt_cap {
			weapon = "hnt_cap";
			count = 5;
		};
	};
};

Also, is there any way to add sidearm to backpack or vest? I just want unarmed soldier, with a gun in his pocket, not to have it equipped.

Im trying to add this faction to Independent, I did side = 2 in factionclasses, but it is still under Blufor.

surpher · June 2, 2004

Try class TransportItems in your crate, and do you need to change the side of your unit. In your config above your unit is inheriting side = 1; from the B_Helipilot_F class, add side = 2; to your unit.

class TransportItems
{
class _xx_hnt_cap {
               name = "hnt_cap";
               count = 5;
           }; 
};

Crates and backpacks are basically the same, add stuff to them in the same way.

Thanks! You really know a lot about scripting! It works awesome so far.

But I have this idea, where I make lets say ten different clothes and then the soldier would randomly choose one from the list. I don't really know how should I do this, but PG Services addon has similar feature and I need something like this for my covert troops (like when I spawn three this soldiers, each will have same civilian clothes, but different color combination - texture.)

Thanks alot.

Do I add multiple units inside the same config.cpp if I need different units?

surpher · June 2, 2004

Thanks alot.
Do I add multiple units inside the same config.cpp if I need different units?

Yes, if want to split the config.cpp up so it does not get too long just create a new folder inside your pbo and start a new config.cpp.

Thanks! You really know a lot about scripting! It works awesome so far.
But I have this idea, where I make lets say ten different clothes and then the soldier would randomly choose one from the list. I don't really know how should I do this, but PG Services addon has similar feature and I need something like this for my covert troops (like when I spawn three this soldiers, each will have same civilian clothes, but different color combination - texture.)

Try this, I have not tested it.

Add this to your unit.

class EventHandlers: EventHandlers
	{
		init = "(_this select 0) execVM ""pathToScript""";
	};

Create a .sqf with this inside.

if (isServer) then {
_rnd1 = floor random 3; // Adjust to number of textures.
_this setVariable ["tej_randomSeed1", _rnd1, TRUE];
};

waitUntil {!(isNil {_this getVariable "tej_randomSeed1"})};
_randomSeed1 = _this getVariable "tej_randomSeed1";

_this setObjectTexture [0, ["pathToTexture1", 
"pathToTexture2", 
"pathToTexture3"] select _randomSeed1];

Thanks, Appreciate your help.

Have two more I would appreciate if you could help me out.

Is it possible to change the flag on the uniform shoulder? I have the .paa graphic I need. Suggestion?

Also, how can I setup a premade group?

Tejkr · August 21, 2010

Sorry to bother you again, but I really want to finish this one addon and I'm almost done.

But I made UAV Bag (just retexture of ind. uav bck, and added assembleInfo, so it will assemble my uav), but when I start the game, it gives me this error

It works ingame anyway, I can assemble that little quadrotor thing, but when I disassemble, it puts original olive independent uav bag in front of me...

	class I_UAV_01_backpack_F;
class assembleInfo;

class Hntr_UAV_Bag : I_UAV_01_backpack_F {
	side = 2;
	hiddenselectionstextures[] = {"\Hunters\Data\ppl\uav_backpack_blck_co.paa"};
	picture = "\A3\Drones_F\Weapons_F_Gamma\ammoboxes\bags\data\ui\icon_B_C_UAV_oli_ca";

	class assembleInfo : assembleInfo {
		assembleto = "Hntr_UAV1";
		base = "";
		displayname = "Quadrotor";
	};
};

I think your class reference must be inside your bag class, like this:

   class I_UAV_01_backpack_F;

   class Hntr_UAV_Bag : I_UAV_01_backpack_F {
       side = 2;
       hiddenselectionstextures[] = {"\Hunters\Data\ppl\uav_backpack_blck_co.paa"};
       picture = "\A3\Drones_F\Weapons_F_Gamma\ammoboxes\bags\data\ui\icon_B_C_UAV_oli_ca";

       class assembleInfo;

       class assembleInfo : assembleInfo {
           assembleto = "Hntr_UAV1";
           base = "";
           displayname = "Quadrotor";
       };
   };

Tejkr · August 21, 2010

THis actually doesn't work, game won't even start, it says Hntr_UAV_Bag.class assembleInfo already defined, but these are only three occurances in config...when I take the first class off, it misses that class...I don't know, maybe I have to write the assembleinfo class myself, then use it in the bag?
