Config problem with retexture

[brad7 4]

Cant figure what the problem is:

error message ---> \config.cpp, line 0: .H_HelmetB: Undefined base class 'ItemCore'

My config:

class H_HelmetB : ItemCore {
       scope = 2;
       weaponPoolAvailable = 1;
       displayName = "Para helmet";
       picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_H_HelmetB_CA.paa";
       model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_ballistic";
       hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
       hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"C:\Users\Brad\Downloads\Texture Work\Helmet tex\Para helmet\Data.paa"};

       class ItemInfo : HeadgearItem {
           mass = 100;
           uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_ballistic";
           modelSides[] = {3, 1};
           armor = 3*0.5;
           passThrough = 0.8;
           hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
       };
   };

Try adding class ItemCore; just above class H_HelmetB : ItemCore

Edit: You will most likely get similar errors for ItemInfo and HeadgearItem.

This line:

hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"C:\Users\Brad\Downloads\Texture Work\Helmet tex\Para helmet\Data.paa"};

Should be more like:

hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"pboName\data\textureName_co.paa"};

Is this all you have in your config.cpp file?

Still getting errors?...

This is an example config for a helmet posted by Stiltman

enum {
    //  = 2,    // Error parsing: Empty enum name
   DESTRUCTENGINE = 2,
   DESTRUCTDEFAULT = 6,
   DESTRUCTWRECK = 7,
   DESTRUCTTREE = 3,
   DESTRUCTTENT = 4,
   STABILIZEDINAXISX = 1,
   STABILIZEDINAXESXYZ = 4,
   STABILIZEDINAXISY = 2,
   STABILIZEDINAXESBOTH = 3,
   DESTRUCTNO = 0,
   STABILIZEDINAXESNONE = 0,
   DESTRUCTMAN = 5,
   DESTRUCTBUILDING = 1,
};

class CfgPatches {
   class example_helmet_config {
       units[] = {};
       weapons[] = {};
       requiredVersion = 0.1;
       requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR"};
   };
};

class cfgWeapons {
   class ItemCore;
   class HeadgearItem;

   class example_HelmetB : ItemCore {
       scope = 2;
       weaponPoolAvailable = 1;
       displayName = "Example Helmet";
       picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_H_HelmetB_CA.paa";
       model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_ballistic";
       hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
       hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"pathtoyouraddonretexturefile.paa"};

       class ItemInfo : HeadgearItem {
           mass = 100;
           uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_ballistic";
           modelSides[] = {3, 1};
           armor = 3*0.5;
           passThrough = 0.8;
           hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
       };
   };
};

Thanks ive finally got into game but it dosent appear in game? - ive even tried with vas?

[surpher 1]

Have you tried adding something like removeHeadgear this; this addHeadgear "class_name_of_your_helmet"; to a unit. Is the helmet invisible in game but casts a shadow? What are you using to pack the pbo?

Post your complete config so we can have a look.

[brad7 4]

Is the classname the display name in the config?

enum { 
    //  = 2,    // Error parsing: Empty enum name 
   DESTRUCTENGINE = 2, 
   DESTRUCTDEFAULT = 6, 
   DESTRUCTWRECK = 7, 
   DESTRUCTTREE = 3, 
   DESTRUCTTENT = 4, 
   STABILIZEDINAXISX = 1, 
   STABILIZEDINAXESXYZ = 4, 
   STABILIZEDINAXISY = 2, 
   STABILIZEDINAXESBOTH = 3, 
   DESTRUCTNO = 0, 
   STABILIZEDINAXESNONE = 0, 
   DESTRUCTMAN = 5, 
   DESTRUCTBUILDING = 1, 
}; 

class CfgPatches { 
   class example_helmet_config { 
       units[] = {}; 
       weapons[] = {}; 
       requiredVersion = 0.1; 
       requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR"}; 
   }; 
}; 

class cfgWeapons { 
   class ItemCore; 
   class HeadgearItem; 

   class example_HelmetB : ItemCore { 
       scope = 2; 
       weaponPoolAvailable = 1; 
       displayName = "Para helmet"; 
       picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_H_HelmetB_CA.paa"; 
       model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_ballistic"; 
       hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; 
       hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"C:\Users\Brad\Downloads\Texture Work\Helmet tex\Para helmet\Data.paa"}; 

       class ItemInfo : HeadgearItem { 
           mass = 100; 
           uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_ballistic"; 
           modelSides[] = {3, 1}; 
           armor = 3*0.5; 
           passThrough = 0.8; 
           hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; 
       }; 
   };

No, in your case its example_HelmetB

[brad7 4]

Allright got it working in game however there is no texture?

[surpher 1]

Your texture path is still dodgy, it should point to the texture inside the pbo not the one on your hard drive. See post #2 above.

[max power 21]

Please use

 or [php] tags when posting code :)  It's not a rule but it makes it easier to read.

[brad7 4]

Still get cannot load texture?

    //  = 2,    // Error parsing: Empty enum name

   STABILIZEDINAXISY = 2, 
   STABILIZEDINAXESBOTH = 3, 
   DESTRUCTNO = 0, 
   STABILIZEDINAXESNONE = 0,

   DESTRUCTBUILDING = 1,

Have you tried temporary replacing your texture with the original helmet texture to see if that loads, if it does load you know its a problem with your texture if not it could be the tool you are packing the pbo with. Config looks fine.

I dont see why i wouldnt work i did the same with a custum backpack?

[mr burns 131]

hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"Para helmet\data\equip1_co.paa"};

Don´t use spaces in file paths :nono:

[brad7 4]

but thats not the reason it dosent work is it?...

[surpher 1]

No, I've just tested your config (as posted above) in game and other than the rogue spaces in these three lines your config works.

picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_H_HelmetB_CA.pa a";
model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_ballist ic";

uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_ballist ic";

It looks like the forum is adding those spaces.

So your config is fine, the problem must be your texture or the tool you are packing the pbo with.

Hey Brad7 don't forget to close your code tags! The closing tag looks like [/code]

[Remi .A 8]

If you are using The eliteness tool to pack your PBO dont, that could very well be the cause of your problem, try using the BIS tools BinPBO tool to pack your pbo files. See if that fixes your problem.
