mac d 10 Posted February 16, 2015 Ehh, I can only select in TPW Mods in expansion. After TPW Mods is selected and after the restart I don't get any other components that can be selected.. (Not like in you're previous versions) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gliptal 25 Posted February 16, 2015 You have to either edit the .hpp yourself or use the provided GUI. Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alpha-Kilo 36 Posted February 19, 2015 I am playing Rydygier's Pilgrimage with TPW enabled. This is an SP mission where you have an AI companion you can order araound and you can also teamswitch into. One feature of TPW is civilian traffic and commandeering cars. In this mission I noticed that the main character can drive all vehicles without a problem but the companion cannot enter vehicles. He can stop and commandeer them but once the orignial driver gets out the companion does not board the vehicle. If the main character instructs him to board, the companion acknowledges the order but he simply stands close to the door. If the player teamswitches into this companion and approaches a vehicle the driver or passenger symbols do not appear and it is impossible to get in. Is TPW designed this way or am I doing something wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maturin 12 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Where the heck is this config GUI supposed to be? I have nothing in my userconfig folder except a .pnp, the scrambled .hpp file and an obtuse .rar archive. Out of the box with the latest version, I hear music in houses and see foggy breath, but TPW_FALL isn't working. Edit: I now see that there is some sort of installer. Whatever it is, I extract the downloaded TPW_MODS folder to the usual location and run the installer, but it fails. Edit again: TPW_settings.jar does not exist in the latest Armaholic download. I am confused. Edited February 21, 2015 by maturin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpw 2313 Posted February 21, 2015 So I started looking into my ambient animal code to see how best to implement a slx_birds style experience and other animal reactivity, and it seems that the latest dev builds have broken most ambient animal behaviours: goats and chickens are frozen, sheep run around full tilt constantly, only dogs seem to have retained their default. I'll wait and see what the devs have to say about this before wasting further time on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted February 21, 2015 Edit again: TPW_settings.jar does not exist in the latest Armaholic download. I am confused. Install.batt does work if you download the Dropbox instead of the Armaholic. Still no .jar GUI file anywhere. The config .hpp no longer formats correctly in Notepad. Even after installing the mod using the .batt file, I don't get a startup hint and TPW_FALL doesn't work. Skirmish is enabled by default. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpw 2313 Posted February 21, 2015 Sorry Maturin I'm a bit confused. Gliptal's install.bat installs @TPW_MODS into your Arma3 directory, and should install your_arma3_directory\userconfig\tpw_mods\tpw_mods.hpp and your_arma3_directory\userconfig\tpw_mods\tpw settings.jar. The tpw_mods.hpp by default is in the format saved by tpw settings.jar, and yes it doesn't open properly in notepad. But it opens just fine in notepad++ or wordpad. Are you saying that installing using install.bat is not installing the jar file? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flv*venom* 83 Posted February 21, 2015 Great mod, can't play Arma without it. just a quicky though: would it be possible to add the "tactical glasses" functionality also to csat helmets? I mean, after all, they have HUDs built in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gliptal 25 Posted February 21, 2015 @maturin: Hey, sorry you're having problems. You can either install using the .bat or manually move the folders to the right place. Make sure you extract the .rar somewhere and run the .bat from there: if no errors pop up you should see a shortcut to the GUI on your desktop, with the .hpp and the .jar in Arma III\userconfig\TPW_MODS\. If this doesn't work you can manually install everything by deleting your old @TPW MODS folder and copying the downloaded one in Arma III\: remember to copy the .hpp and .jar from @TPW MODS\userconfig\TPW_MODS to Arma III\userconfig\TPW_MODS.

corporal_lib[br] 396 Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks for the kind words. Your idea is certainly doable, but only if you promise not to ask me to translate the HUD to Farsi... I had the same urge (while you were on "vacations" months ago)... that´s a good idea, as the "Defender" mod is kinda abandoned (and so far just a script inside that mission), so CSAT can have some high tech love (and it is strange to have tactical glasses under the supac-bug helmet lol ... and no, I´m not asking you to translate to farsi cus most of the players don´t speak/read farsi too lol cheers!

Furthermore, no .jar file exists in the downloaded .rar archive. Just to confirm, manual editing of the userconfig is still possible? I can do that, but then I can't imagine why there is there is no TPW startup prompt (despite this option being =1 in the .hpp), and why TPW_FALL isn't working.

gliptal 25 Posted February 21, 2015 Latest archive is TPW_MODS_20150213.zip and I see TPW Settings.jar inside @TPW_MODS/userconfig/TPW_MODS.

maturin 12 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Okay, silly me, I had my file type ending turned off and didn't notice that the .rar archive is in fact the .jar. But that raises the next question... what the heck am I supposed to do with this thing? TPW MODS is highly configurable and has a lot of options. Gliptal has developed TPW Settings, a Java GUI to simplify editing the TPW_MODS configuration file. This program is included in userconfig, and needs to be copied to and run from \your_steam_location\steamapps\common\Arma 3\userconfig\TPW_MODS\TPW_settings.jar The program needs to be run? How am I supposed to run a whole mess of random files in an archive, without a single .exe in sight? Sorry if I sound exasperated, and I hate to complain to modders who are doing all this for free. But this exasperatingly obtuse, and I had to click through tons of folders even to find the installation instructions, which are partially outdated (the .hpp is no longer annotated) and buried on the second page of a file that isn't in .txt and isn't clearly labeled readme. For the last two dozen builds, everything just worked the way every other mod does. Edit: And I'm not sure why TPW_FALL isn't working. Unless I have to run the .jar in order to allow the mode to read the .hpp file. Edited February 22, 2015 by maturin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gliptal 25 Posted February 22, 2015 Ok lets go in order here. Since the automatic installation (the .bat) seems to not be working for you, let's try manual. - Unzip the archive somewhere - Ignore every file in the folder - Copy @TPW_MODS in your Arma III install directory - Copy @TPW_MODS\userconfig\TPW_MODS folder to Arma III\userconfig\TPW_MODS You can now run the .jar in Arma III\userconfig\TPW_MODS folder to modify the mod behaviour. @tpw: It might be better to embed the annotated version of the .hpp so that it is still possible to edit it without using the GUI. Yay! EDIT: Now that I think about it, are you sure you're not unpacking the .jar as opposed to running it? Because if you open it with winrar it will act as a package, containing class files. Make sure you're opening it with the Java Virtual Machine and not with winrar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted February 22, 2015 So I need some sort of third party software to run the .jar? Of course I can't run the .jar if I don't have the program. Is the mod still designed to function with a manually-edited .hpp file? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course I can't run the .jar if I don't have the program.Is the mod still designed to function with a manually-edited .hpp file? You need a Java runtime installed to use Gliptal's GUI editor. The mod will function with a manually edited hpp though.
