Vest not appearing ingame

Sakai · January 7, 2013

Heyoh lads!

Im trying to get my vest ingame but for some reason it does not want to appear in the game?

Here is the config.cpp -

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



class U_Sakai_Vest: Vest_Base
{
	scope = 2;
	displayName = "FAC Testing Vest";
	picture = "\A3\characters_f\data\ui\icon_U_B_CombatUniform_mcam_tshirt_ca.paa"; // or where ever you got a picture
	model = "\fac_vest\fac_vest.p3d";

		class ItemInfo: VestItem
		{
			uniformModel = "\fac_vest\fac_vest.p3d";
			containerClass = "Supply100"; // or what ever space it got
			mass = 50;
			armor = "5*0.5"; // if bodyarmor various calues can be used
			passThrough = 0.7; // how much the vest stops a bullet going through
		};
};
};

Tried finding it by Virtual Ammobox, nothing, tried addvest nothing...

Vest_Base is now Vest_Camo_Base or Vest_NoCamo_Base

Sakai · January 7, 2013

Still does not appear

surpher · June 2, 2004

That part of your config looks fine apart from the old Vest_Base class, it not your whole config is it?

It actually whole config is and I do believe I am missing some parts... Havent done ArmA 3 modding... I've been sitting in ArmA 2 all the time

Try this

};

class DefaultEventhandlers;
class CfgPatches
{
class Sakai_Vest_Config // You can edit the className.
{
	units[] = {};
	weapons[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 0.1;
	requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Characters_F"}; // So the config knows where to find the external class reference.
};
};

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 U_Sakai_Vest: Vest_NoCamo_Base
{
	scope = 2;
	displayName = "FAC Testing Vest";
	picture = "\A3\characters_f\data\ui\icon_U_B_CombatUniform_mcam_tshirt_ca.paa"; // or where ever you got a picture
	model = "\fac_vest\fac_vest.p3d";

		class ItemInfo: VestItem
		{
			uniformModel = "\fac_vest\fac_vest.p3d";
			containerClass = "Supply100"; // or what ever space it got
			mass = 50;
			armor = "5*0.5"; // if bodyarmor various calues can be used
			passThrough = 0.7; // how much the vest stops a bullet going through
		};
};
};

Your a legend... That worked, thanks a bunch man!

zeotrope · April 26, 2013

So my problem is similar. I want to add a texture to an existing vest and want it to appear in the virtual ammo box (domination)

Code:

enum {

OrdinalEnum = 2,

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 DefaultEventhandlers;

class CfgPatches

class WeaponFireGun;

class WeaponCloudsGun;

class WeaponFireMGun;

class WeaponCloudsMGun;

class CfgVehicles;

class HeadgearItem;

class Uniform_Base;

class UniformItem;

class Vest_Camo_Base;

class Vest_NoCamo_Base;

class VestItem

{

class V_TacVest_khk;

class Vest_tacops_D : V_TacVest_khk

{

requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Characters_F"};

scope = 2

displayName = "Tacops Vest General (grey)";

hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"tacops_vest\vest\Data\vest_grey.paa"};

};

Not sure what might be wrong. :(

Thanks surpher. Works a charm.

So now another Vest issue. I applied the same config layout as shown above (the vest that worked was a tactical one) but my new vest is not showing in game. I get a shadow cast onto my character but an invisible vest. No errors when compiling or at load time.....The *.PAA path is fine.....any ideas on this one? Show me the error of my limited ways :P (also...what does "SCOPE = 2" mean or do?

surpher · June 2, 2004

The config looks fine I reckon its your texture causing the problem, try re-saving it as a paa or test with another known to work texture.

scope = 2; means the class is usable in-game.

scope = 1; similar to above not sure of the difference.

scope = 0; you can only inherit from this class.

zeotrope · April 26, 2013

Once again you are correct. It was an issue with the PAA file. I resaved it out as a TGA, converted back to PAA and it worked. As for why, I have no idea. So a big thanks.

Whats odd is I have an issue with a Coverall config and thought maybe it has the same PAA issue....but it did not. I may need your help (again) ....will post the config later (when I'm home) and perhaps you could steer me in the right direction.

Thanks again.

My Turn:

Made a reskin of the NATO GL Vest, and am having a hard time getting it to render in game.

I believe the error is in my config, but i cant seem to see where/why the error is occurring

When placed in a weapon crate, it will render a GL vest, but with neither my retexture or custom name, any help is appreciated.

You have accidentally placed a space in between the c and the o (c o.paa)

Try this, works as a charm for me.

Probably my last vest related question, but it more than likely apples to other inventory items. ICONS, The code snippet below is part of my vest config. While in the ammo box I can see an ICON (small) but cannot see it in the INVENTORY Vest slot.

class Vest_tacops_D: Vest_Camo_Base

{

scope = 2;

displayName = "Tacops Vest General (grey)";

picture = "\tacops_vest\vest\data\vest_icon.paa";

model = "A3\Characters_F\Common\equip_tacticalvest";

//hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; // Inherited from the Vest_Camo_Base class

hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"tacops_vest\vest\Data\vest_grey_co.paa"};

class ItemInfo: ItemInfo

{

uniformModel = "A3\Characters_F\Common\equip_tacticalvest";

containerClass = "Supply120";

mass = 80;

armor = "5*0.5";

passThrough = 0.7;

//hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; // Inherited from the Vest_Camo_Base class

};

I have tried placing the line "picture = "\tacops_vest\vest\data\vest_icon.paa";" into the bottom section (uniformModel) but it still does not show up in-game.

Any ideas? I want all my items to have respective icons and looks sloppy without them.

Zeo

surpher · June 2, 2004

Your icon name (vest_icon.paa) does not have a _ca or _co suffix, try adding one and see what happens.

EvilDutch · December 30, 2012

The way i did it was by making screenshots in-game of the vest, then with the pen tool in photoshop i removed everything accept for the vest and made the icon. The icon image is 256x256 and you do not have to work with alpha layers. Just a png version of the image with out any background is enough.

Save it as .png the first time and call it in your case tacops_vest_general_grey_ca.png. Then open it with Texture Vieuwer and save it as tacops_vest_general_grey_ca.paa. Then place that .paa in the Data folder.

In your script you change your picture line: picture = "\tacops_vest\vest\data\tacops_vest_general_grey_ca.paa"; and save it.. Your done, and can test it!.

Example:

class Vest_tacops_D: Vest_Camo_Base {
       scope = 2;
       displayName = "Tacops Vest General (grey)";
       picture = "\tacops_vest\vest\data\tacops_vest_general_grey_ca.paa";
       model = "A3\Characters_F\Common\equip_tacticalvest";

       hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; [b]// You need this, dont block it[/b].
       hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\tacops_vest\vest\Data\vest_grey_co.paa"};

       class ItemInfo: ItemInfo {
              uniformModel = "A3\Characters_F\Common\equip_tacticalvest";
              hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; [b]// You need this, dont block it[/b].
              containerClass = "Supply120";
              mass = 80;
              armor = "5*0.5";
              passThrough = 0.7;
              };
       };
};
