ArmA 3 - Vests config.cpp problem

[Serza 10]

Hey guys,

I've a... little problem with my retex attempt.

I've successfully put the config etc. in the game (I can see it in the config viewer), but when I try to put the Platecarrier on, I can only see it in my inventory (ie it gets added) and in the form of a shadow on my character - no model gets displayed.

I'm using Bohemia's Platecarrier Rig model (it IS a retex, after all) as model, and their (slightly modified) black Platecarrier texture.

Below is my current config.cpp:

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_vest_config {
       units[] = {};
       weapons[] = {"V_SGT_N7Vest"};
       requiredVersion = 0.1;
       requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR"};
   };
};

class cfgWeapons {
   class Vest_Base;
   class VestItem;

   class V_SGT_N7Vest : VestItem {
       scope = 2;
       displayName = "N7 Platecarrier";
       picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_V_plate_carrier_1_CA.paa";
       model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\equip_b_vest02.p3d";
       hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
       hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\vest\SGT_N7Vest_Texture.paa"};

       class ItemInfo : VestItem {
           uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\equip_b_vest02.p3d";
           containerClass = "Supply100";
           mass = 50;
           armor = 5*0.5;
           passThrough = 0.7;
           hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
       };
   };
};

(found the base for it somewhere on the forums - can't remember who made it, but thank you! - as the Sample config wouldn't even pop up in the CfgViewer)

There are two possible errors it also throws up when trying to equip:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/V_SGT_N7Vest.selectionFireAnim'

- if I'm armed while trying to equip

No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWeapons/V_SGT_N7Vest.nameSound'

- if I'm unarmed while trying to equip

(armed = have a primary or secondary weapon)

Can anybody clarify my errors and explain what went wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Serza

You are using an old classname (Vest_Base). Try this.

class cfgWeapons
{
   class Vest_Camo_Base;
class ItemInfo;
   class VestItem;

   class V_SGT_N7Vest : Vest_Camo_Base
{
       scope = 2;
       displayName = "N7 Platecarrier";
       picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_V_plate_carrier_1_CA.paa";
       model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\equip_b_vest02.p3d";
       hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
       hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\vest\SGT_N7Vest_Texture.paa"};

       class ItemInfo : VestItem
	{
           uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\equip_b_vest02.p3d";
           containerClass = "Supply100";
           mass = 50;
           armor = 5*0.5;
           passThrough = 0.7;
           hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
       };
   };
};

Thank you, solved that problem.

Now pops up with a "cannot load texture" instead, but that's something I must've messed up while editing it in Gimp.

Looks like I might even succeed in this :-)

Thanks again,

Serza
