lennist 10 Posted September 3, 2014 So, im totaly new in the modding scene of Arma :D Some friends and me started the project "EveronLife". We moddified "Altis life" from Tonic to fit Everon and added/wrote some new scripts. I´m searching for a tutorial which explains how to insert a .3ds Model into Arma3 (for beginners?) i´ve already read the guideline but i think you need some experience for it. So my question is: do anybody knows a tutorial or would take somebody the trouble to explain me ? Many thanks in advance Lennist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lennist 10 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) oh thank you :) i´ve already done a few lessons but unfortunately he skipped the config.cpp part for the car :( Can somebody post an working config.cpp for me? I think its because he "stole" die biggest part from the OFP jeep, but i´m using it in Arma 3 ;) Edited September 3, 2014 by lennist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
six_ten 208 Posted September 3, 2014 Dig into the Samples_F files, there's a Test_Car_01 in there -- it has a config.cpp, model.cfg, and a simple car model. Make a copy of that test car folder and try to get it to work as it is in A3 (it usually requires some modification for me, since I drop it into my mod folder then try to get it working from in there). Once it works just as they built it, substitute your model parts for theirs, copying the selections they use into your model, deleting the parts of their model that you have substituted. Setting it up just the same way as they did reduces the number of variables that can go wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lennist 10 Posted September 3, 2014 ok i´ll give it a try when my A3 tools wants to start working again ;/ i´ve got the problem, that when i import a random .3ds car model into my oxygen2 it crashes or works as fast as a snail. Do you know where i can get car model which dont have like 5 million faces? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
six_ten 208 Posted September 3, 2014 I'd suggest you first try to get the stock Samples_F car working. Once you get that running, then get the A2 models that BI released and pick one of them, port it into A3 using the sample as a base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
six_ten 208 Posted September 3, 2014 I just re-read your post: "ok i´ll give it a try when my A3 tools wants to start working again ;/ i´ve got the problem, that when i import a random .3ds car model into my oxygen2 it crashes or works as fast as a snail. Do you know where i can get car model which dont have like 5 million faces?" Until you get your tools working you cannot get a car in. Fix them. They're tools, them "wanting to work" has no bearing.

lennist 10 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) needed to re-install them because my anti-virus programm messed some files up ;) currently i´m replacing the proxy´s in the "old_hatchback" from arma 2 but when i start the bulldozer it says "Bad version 59 in Hatchback\data\proxies\driver.p3d" Does somebody knows what to do? Edit: it think the driver is messing it up Edited September 3, 2014 by lennist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lennist 10 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Think its due To oxygen 2 Should i use object builder? But i dont know how To set up the Bulldozer Just modiefied the config.cpp and the model.cfg from http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?174673-Tutoria-Importing-ArmA2-vehicles-to-ArmA3 to fit the hatchback, but it doesnt appear ingame :( Edited September 4, 2014 by lennist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
six_ten 208 Posted September 4, 2014 My suggestion stands: get the Samples_F Test_Car01 to work in-game, just as they built it. See if you can get that to work then go from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
