Erwin23p 34 Posted May 4, 2014 Hi, I'm very noob at modding, and I wanna learn but I can't find any good tutorial, so I'm trying to learn it by myself and currently I have this stuff: a pretty good 3D model, all the textures and the BI template for boat files. The textures are in ".paa" and the model is in ".p3d" but I don't know what I have to do with it, so all I did was to open my 3d model with oxigen and save it as ".p3d", and I don't know if this is the only thing to do to the model. To convert the textures I used the BI tools. So this is what I have now: All the folders are empty, except the data; the textures are within. I don't know, though, how to configure all the other files to make them work only for the test. My config.cpp file #include "basicdefines_A3.hpp" class CfgPatches { class Test_boat_F { units[] = {"Test_Boat_01"}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Boat_F"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Ship; class Ship_F: Ship { class ViewPilot; class AnimationSources; class Eventhandlers; }; class Test_Boat_01_base_F: Ship_F { displayName = "Test Boat"; /// displayed in Editor model = "\Samples_f\Test_Boat_01\Test_Boat_01";/// simple path to model picture = "\A3\Weapons_F\Data\placeholder_co.paa"; /// just some icon in command bar Icon = "\A3\Weapons_F\Data\placeholder_co.paa"; /// icon in map cost = 20000; /// how likely is the enemy going to target this vehicle accuracy = 0.50; /// knowledge required to recognize this type of target class HitPoints /// define the sturdiness of the ship { class HitEngine {armor = 1.2; material = 60; name = "engine"; visual = ""; passThrough = 1; radius = 0.1;}; /// radius causes bigger damage but on a more precise hit class HitHull {armor = 1; material = 50; name = "karoserie"; visual = "zbytek"; passThrough = 1; explosionShielding = 1;}; }; leftEngineEffect = "LEngEffectsSmall"; /// Particle effect class for engine particles rightEngineEffect = "REngEffectsSmall"; simulation = "shipx"; /// all ships should have this simulation maxSpeed = 80; /// top speed of the vehicle overSpeedBrakeCoef = 0.8; /// how much does the vehicle itself brake in case it goes faster than maxSpeed enginePower = 235; /// power of engine in kW engineShiftY = 0.1; /// relative virtual position of engine for PhysX, affects lateral ship slope during turns waterLeakiness = 1.0; /// amount of litres per second that leaks into ship if under water, destroyed or turned upside down turnCoef = 0.25; /// how well is the ship able to turn thrustDelay = 2; /// initial delay to cause lesser slip when on 1st gear - thrust goes from zero to full in this time waterLinearDampingCoefY = 2; /// affect how fast does the ship go through waves down - higher values make it drift more on top of waves waterLinearDampingCoefX = 2.0; /// affects sliding of the ship in turns waterAngularDampingCoef = 1.2; /// increase this for smoother movement, but beware too high values waterResistanceCoef = 0.015; /// how much does water slow the ship down rudderForceCoef = 0.100000; /// increase this to gain more turning on lower speeds rudderForceCoefAtMaxSpeed = 0.003000; /// increase this to gain more turning on higher speeds idleRpm = 200; /// revolutions per minute at which the engine idles redRpm = 1200; /// maximum revolutions per minute of the engine class complexGearbox { GearboxRatios[] = {"R1",-0.782,"N",0,"D1",2.0,"D2",1.85,"D3",1.75}; TransmissionRatios[] = {"High",1.0}; // Optional: defines transmission ratios (for example, High and Low range as commonly found in offroad vehicles) gearBoxMode = "auto"; //gearbox can be of type: full-auto (only requires 'W' or 'S'), auto (requires shift between drive and reverse), semi-auto, manual moveOffGear = 1; // defines what gear an automatic or semi-automatic gearbox will move off from stationary in. 1 by default. driveString = "D"; // string to display in the HUD for forward gears. neutralString = "N"; // string to display in the HUD for neutral gear. reverseString = "R"; // string to display in the HUD for reverse gears. }; brakeDistance = 3; /// how many internal waypoints should the AI plan braking in advance driverAction = driver_mid01; /// what action is going the driver take inside the vehicle.

Erwin23p 34 Posted May 7, 2014 hi again, I've changed some things in config.cpp but I don't know it's good, and I can't try it because the addon builder doesen't work, :S I have the see how to fix that. So you can say me if I did good? #include "basicdefines_A3.hpp" class CfgPatches { class Test_boat_F { units[] = {"Test_Boat_01"}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Boat_F"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Ship; class Ship_F: Ship { class ViewPilot; class AnimationSources; class Eventhandlers; }; class Test_Boat_01_base_F: Ship_F { displayName = "LCAC"; /// displayed in Editor model = "\Elca_Lcac.p3d";/// simple path to model picture = "\A3\Weapons_F\Data\placeholder_co.paa"; /// just some icon in command bar Icon = "\A3\Weapons_F\Data\placeholder_co.paa"; /// icon in map cost = 20000; /// how likely is the enemy going to target this vehicle accuracy = 0.50; /// knowledge required to recognize this type of target class HitPoints /// define the sturdiness of the ship { class HitEngine {armor = 1.2; material = 60; name = "engine"; visual = ""; passThrough = 1; radius = 0.1;}; /// radius causes bigger damage but on a more precise hit class HitHull {armor = 1; material = 50; name = "karoserie"; visual = "zbytek"; passThrough = 1; explosionShielding = 1;}; }; leftEngineEffect = "LEngEffectsSmall"; /// Particle effect class for engine particles rightEngineEffect = "REngEffectsSmall"; simulation = "shipx"; /// all ships should have this simulation maxSpeed = 80; /// top speed of the vehicle overSpeedBrakeCoef = 0.8; /// how much does the vehicle itself brake in case it goes faster than maxSpeed enginePower = 235; /// power of engine in kW engineShiftY = 0.1; /// relative virtual position of engine for PhysX, affects lateral ship slope during turns waterLeakiness = 1.0; /// amount of litres per second that leaks into ship if under water, destroyed or turned upside down turnCoef = 0.25; /// how well is the ship able to turn thrustDelay = 2; /// initial delay to cause lesser slip when on 1st gear - thrust goes from zero to full in this time waterLinearDampingCoefY = 2; /// affect how fast does the ship go through waves down - higher values make it drift more on top of waves waterLinearDampingCoefX = 2.0; /// affects sliding of the ship in turns waterAngularDampingCoef = 1.2; /// increase this for smoother movement, but beware too high values waterResistanceCoef = 0.015; /// how much does water slow the ship down rudderForceCoef = 0.100000; /// increase this to gain more turning on lower speeds rudderForceCoefAtMaxSpeed = 0.003000; /// increase this to gain more turning on higher speeds idleRpm = 200; /// revolutions per minute at which the engine idles redRpm = 1200; /// maximum revolutions per minute of the engine class complexGearbox { GearboxRatios[] = {"R1",-0.782,"N",0,"D1",2.0,"D2",1.85,"D3",1.75}; TransmissionRatios[] = {"High",1.0}; // Optional: defines transmission ratios (for example, High and Low range as commonly found in offroad vehicles) gearBoxMode = "auto"; //gearbox can be of type: full-auto (only requires 'W' or 'S'), auto (requires shift between drive and reverse), semi-auto, manual moveOffGear = 1; // defines what gear an automatic or semi-automatic gearbox will move off from stationary in. 1 by default. driveString = "D"; // string to display in the HUD for forward gears. neutralString = "N"; // string to display in the HUD for neutral gear. reverseString = "R"; // string to display in the HUD for reverse gears. }; brakeDistance = 3; /// how many internal waypoints should the AI plan braking in advance driverAction = driver_mid01; /// what action is going the driver take inside the vehicle.
