Addon builder crashing

[alleycat 28]

Addon builder crashes.

This is a weapon model but I first want to export it as a simple static object. I followed the bunker tutorial and this is the setup:

config.cpp

/*
Colt Detective .38
created by cat
*/
class CfgPatches	
{
class CAT_colt_detective
{
	units[] = {CAT_colt_detective};
	weapons[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 0.1;
	requiredAddons[] = {};
};
};


class CfgVehicles
{
class All {};
class Static : All {};
class Building : Static {};
class NonStrategic : Building {};
class TargetGrenade: TargetTraining {};

class CAT_colt_detective
{
	model="\CAT_colt_detective\CAT_colt_detective_01.p3d";
	armor=20000;
	scope=2;
	displayName="CAT_colt_detective_01";
	faction = "Empty";
	vehicleClass = "Objects";
};
};

The project source folder:

I:\Arma3 Mods\colt_detective\colt_detective dev\CAT_colt_detective

Inside of it there is 2 files:

CAT_colt_detective_01.p3d

config.cpp

The addonbuilder is pointing to

I:\Arma3 Mods\colt_detective\colt_detective dev\CAT_colt_detective

for the source folder and to

I:\Arma3 Mods\colt_detective\release pbo\@CAT_colt_detective\Addons

It crashes instantly after clicking pack

The model p3d shows correctly in Object builder. I do not have set up any textures to go with it in the folder

Trying to isolate what causes the crash I grabbed a random p3d from the samples folder (boat) an attempted compile with the same files. Now it says some error with build code = 1.

What is the most basic minimum requirement for a p3d file to pass packing? Does it need any specific bones

do you have a model.cfg? Do you binarise when packing?

In the configFile >> "CfgPatches" >> "CAT_colt_detective", units[] must be an array of strings, eg:

units[] = {"CAT_colt_detective"};

In addition, I invite you to take a look at the weapon sample from the tools (Samples_F\Test_Weapon_01) because, among others, in the CfgPatches, you shouldn't add your weapon class in the units array but in the weapons array.
