Leights OPFOR Pack

[TrunkSpunk 10]

Just go in the add on folder and delete anything with mi8 and you're good to go.

The AddOns folder in the Leights_OPFOR folder? If so I've tried that and still doesn't work :(

[disco.modder 116]

Hi Leight, would you consider creating a HLC weapons config for these guys? I reckon that would be cool. :)

The AddOns folder in the Leights_OPFOR folder? If so I've tried that and still doesn't work :(

It's a conflict with AiA standalone. Use the AiA TP or go back into the directory and delete more mi8 pbos, you missed something.

I get an error about HitGlass1 when having this mod loaded and placing a heli (a normal RHS one). See here: http://i.imgur.com/Rz0xjK5.png

Repro steps:

Go into editor, load a map. Place a player unit and an empty heli (I tried UH60M). Click on preview. Wait for the error message.

Only mods loaded are RHS Escalation and Leight's OPFOR Pack. I don't get the error when having only RHS Escalation loaded.

Ok, found it. In lop_c_veh_mi8.pbo, config.cpp, class CfgVehicles you have to replace

class Helicopter : Air {
class HitPoints;	// External class reference
};

with

class Helicopter : Air {
class HitPoints	// External class reference
{
	class HitGlass1;
	class HitGlass2;
	class HitGlass3;
	class HitGlass4;
	class HitGlass5;
	class HitGlass6;
	class HitHull;
	class HitEngine;
	class HitAvionics;
};	
};

I get the Hitglass error as well. It forces me to load the map twice.

[ELIT343V3R 10]

The error with Hitglass is from RHS.

The error with Hitglass is from RHS.

I think your right but without this mod enabled the runs fine. Since then this kid has been turned off :(

Ok sorry hate typing I the phone. What I meant was rhs

Ok let's try this one last time....

What I was saying was RHS runs fine without this mod enabled. So since then I've left it off and have had no problems

I second the request for an HLC AK config, it would be very cool. Probably the only downside of this mod was that I expected to see RHS' AKs at least, which has mags compatible with HLC's AKs through a mod (since these are usually the AKs my clan is using).

[TheConen 78]

Second thing I noticed: the Leight's OPFOR Pack overwrites the "Aircraft" section in editor, meaning RHS vehicles (A10 and SU25) are not displayed, but Mi8 from Leight's OPFOR pack which is actually a helicopter.

Leight, are you still reading here and plan to continue development of this mod or did you abandon it?

I doubt he has abandoned the mod it is a great addition to ARMA 3 and the errors we are getting should not take long to iron out.

It is holiday season also so he may just be buisy ATM. :)

Im working on HLC config, please be patient :)

Awesome Leight! I love your pack and I use it basically every day! Can't wait for HLC.

[leight 4]

UPDATE to v0.3 HLC Config inside package !

[m4rt14l 13]

Very good work, you make one essential addon!!

[Raytesh 10]

Leight,

Your pack still overwrites the Empty -> Aircraft field in the 2d editor preventing all other units from RHS from showing up. So you can not place any empty RHS Aircraft. (A10 and the SU25.) :)

Hey Leight, nice to see you back :).

To prevent to overwrite the Aircraft section, in lop_main, config.cpp, you can replace

class CfgVehicleClasses {class MEN_W {	displayName = "Men";};			class MEN_ARMCIV {	displayName = "Men (armed-civ)";};		class MEN_B {	displayName = "Men (black)";};	class MEN_POLICE {	displayName = "Men (police)";};	class MEN_MIL {	displayName = "Men (militia)";};class VEH_Aircraft {	displayName = "Aircraft";};class VEH_Armored {	displayName = "Armored";};class VEH_Support {	displayName = "Support";};class VEH_Wheeled {	displayName = "Wheeled";};	class VEH_Static {	displayName = "Static";};	};

with

class CfgVehicleClasses {class MEN_W {	displayName = "Men (LOP)";};			class MEN_ARMCIV {	displayName = "Men (armed-civ) (LOP)";};		class MEN_B {	displayName = "Men (black) (LOP)";};	class MEN_POLICE {	displayName = "Men (police) (LOP)";};	class MEN_MIL {	displayName = "Men (militia) (LOP)";};class VEH_Aircraft {	displayName = "Aircraft (LOP)";};class VEH_Armored {	displayName = "Armored (LOP)";};class VEH_Support {	displayName = "Support (LOP)";};class VEH_Wheeled {	displayName = "Wheeled (LOP)";};	class VEH_Static {	displayName = "Static (LOP)";};	};

I also would suggest changing the classnames for the vehicle groups by adding the prefix LOP_ to them to prevent compatibility issues - this however would mean to have to change the vehicle class for every unit again. CfgVehicleClasses would look like this:

class CfgVehicleClasses {class LOP_MEN_W {	displayName = "Men (LOP)";};			class LOP_MEN_ARMCIV {	displayName = "Men (armed-civ) (LOP)";};		class LOP_MEN_B {	displayName = "Men (black) (LOP)";};	class LOP_MEN_POLICE {	displayName = "Men (police) (LOP)";};	class LOP_MEN_MIL {	displayName = "Men (militia) (LOP)";};class LOP_VEH_Aircraft {	displayName = "Aircraft (LOP)";};class LOP_VEH_Armored {	displayName = "Armored (LOP)";};class LOP_VEH_Support {	displayName = "Support (LOP)";};class LOP_VEH_Wheeled {	displayName = "Wheeled (LOP)";};	class LOP_VEH_Static {	displayName = "Static (LOP)";};	};

The same applies for CfgFactionClasses in lop_main - adding distinct prefixes to classnames is generally a good idea to prevent compatibility issues in ArmA, like you did with LOP_Insignia_BMC or lop_african_names.

This way, you don't overwrite anything and you have distinct categories for your mod's units, so mission makers can easily identify that these are the units from your mod and not from some other mod which probably has similar names for his units. If you go the way with the prefixes, I highly recommend to do it consequently - meaning adding a prefix to nearly everything that could cause comptability issues (ALiVE classnames for example).

By the way: love that you added african units, now there's something for nearly every region.... :)

Thank you so much for the HLC config. Great modding, Leight.

[TheConen 78]

Another thing: with the newest RHS update the classname for the M1A1HC changed from rhsusf_m1a1hc_d to rhsusf_m1a1fep_d. As some classes in your mod inherit from rhsusf_m1a1hc_d, it now throws an error an starup - you have to change these classes to inherit from rhsusf_m1a1fep_d.
