Need Help Packing Mod : Config.cpp etc

[marker 1]

Hi

First of all, if this is the wrong section then can a mod move it please!

Couldn't find an absolute tutorial to explain what I needed to include if I want to pack up my script as a mod.

After a bit of googling / extracting I have within my @NamesDisplay, obviously an Addon folder. Within that right now without packing it into a pbo I have.

config.cpp

#include "CfgPatches.hpp"
#include "markers_tags.hpp"

CfgPatches.hpp

class CfgPatches {
class DisplayNames {
	units[] = {};
	weapons[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 0.1;
	requiredAddons[] = {A3_UI_F, "A3_Data_F", "A3_UIFonts_F"};
};
};

markers_tags.hpp

class Extended_PostInit_EventHandlers {
MarkersTags_MP_Init = "if (!isDedicated) then {[] execVM '\NameDisplay\init.sqf'}";
};

init.sqf

if (isDedicated) exitWith {};

if (isNil "MarkersTags_MP_Init") then
{
  call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\NameDisplay\tags.sqf";
};

call MarkersTags_MP_Init;

Mod loads, as I can see it within the expansion section in game, just doesn't ever run. Script runs perfectly well when running within the editor.

Plus, what tool do I use to make the .bin file and pack the individual files into a pbo, only really ever used pboviewer before.

Thanks

You want to use BinPBO tool that you get with BItools to pack your pbo's, When you make the config.cpp the bin is created from that when you pack your pbo. Heres the link to the BI tools for ya http://downloads.bistudio.com/Tools/BI_Editing_Tools_2_5_1.zip

Cheers mate, already had them! Just completely forgot about BinPBO..

Still doesn't work though.. Must be something I am doing wrong..

Your patches can go directly in your config.cpp they don't need to load from a separate file.
