setObjetTexture for a vehicle (ship)

[Kommiekat 12]

I want this image, on the side of an assault boat:

I was able to do it in Arma 2 with hookie's mod of ships and mines, using this code:

this setObjectTexture [1,"Images\chinastar.jpg"];

This seems to be no longer working.

BIS WIKI has this code:

_objectname setObjectTexture [1,"\pboname\texture2.paa"]

First of all, I'm using jpg

Secondly, I have no idea what this "pboname" is all about.

I'm I going to be at a loss on this?

This Patrol boat has to be Chinese and is the main Star of my mission.

Any ideas to help a kommie out?

[Kommiekat 12]

So I guess I'm out of luck?

Any body have a thread or link to hook me up with?

Cheers

Here are the available hidden selections for the ArmA3 minigun boat:

You could copy one of these files, add your Star to it and include it with the mission: "\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\Boat_Armed_01_ext_co.paa","\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\Boat_Armed_01_int_co.paa","\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\Boat_Armed_01_crows_blufor_co.paa"

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply and with that pic as well!

BTW, this is Opfor boat.

Pic Dimentions:

64 X 64

Object name: v1

So, in unit (ship) init box:

v1 setObjectTexture [1,"\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\chinesestar.jpg"];

or

v1 setObjectTexture [2, "\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\chinesestar.jpg"];

or

v1 setObjectTexture [0, "\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\chinesestar.jpg"];

Correct?

OK, Pic at 64 X 64

v1 setObjectTexture [1,"\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\chinesestar.jpg"];

v1 setObjectTexture [2, "\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\chinesestar.jpg"];

v1 setObjectTexture [0, "\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\chinesestar.jpg"];

Perhaps the pic is too big?

I'll try one size smaller......but that's getting real small...............

Maybe you have to retexture the module as making an addon if setObjectTexture doesn't support smaller parts I guess.

[Tajin 349]

You could also spawn a helper-object like "UserTexture1m_F", paint your star on it and attach that to the boat. That might not be as beautiful as using a properly modified skin but it is easier to do and uses less filesize.

Could you kindly give me a bit more info on how to code that in the unit?

v1 setObjectTexture [0, "\A3\boat_f\UserTexture1m_F\data\chinesestar.jpg"]; ??

[CJoke 11]

when you say 64x64, I assume there is only the cstar in your bitmap and no camo texture background?

setObjectTexture don't add textures to the vehicle, setObjectTexture change the whole texture.

you need a 1024x1024 or 2048x2048 camo-texture and a paintprogramm to make a vehicletextures with flagsigns or other stickers.

Thanks for that.

Seems a bit of a big project for me to do at this time.

Hopefully majoris who got PLA mod going or the guys from China with PLA_VME will do something about that.

cheers

Was thinking about something like this: (you'll have to adjust the coordinates and orientation)

tex = "UserTexture1m_F" createVehicle position boat;
tex setObjectTexture [0, "\A3\boat_f\Boat_Armed_01\data\chinesestar.jpg"];
tex attachTo [boat,[1,0,0]];
tex setVectorDirAndUp [[1,0,0],[0,0,0]];
