AlphaWolF 10 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Im an experience modder and 3d artist who has a fair bit of experience with 3dsmax, Maya, motionbuilder, Zbrush, ect. I tried modding this game about a year ago & I really had some cool stuff to add, but after nearly 3 months of researching, reading forums and generally trying to put the fragments I could find scatterd across the net together frustration finally got the better of me and I gave up. I actually had made some progress and had and full model with all the accessories items it needed but the HUGE the cost in time to achieve so little, was to just to costly because I want to be creating stuff not endlessly researching the minimal scraps I could find. Anyway Im trying again, and after 2 weeks Im reaching the limit of my resolve already & Ive already spent more time than any sane person should on this and NEED HELP because Im sick of seeing these errors build failed result=1, Having headgear appear in the pelvis, Having items just plain NOT show up in the VR arsenal or no option even to select them in the list. Im trying to add uniforms. Custom heads, Factions, headgear and have been using a combination of the standard arma3 samples and the mod configs hear http://http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=27420 But although the female heads mod shows all the optons in the VR arsenal list, Even they dont display any models :(. Its making me really angry that with all my experiance ans 3D skill iI cant even achive the most simple task with these tools & these damn config files that I should be ably to pull of in minutes. Below is a simple mask I made But i have much more complicated stuff ive been trying to do with multiple items using the samples setup.

warlord554 2065 Posted March 16, 2015 A2 samples have full head lod examples. Shows weighing, selections, etc. Pretty straightfoward. Your build fail will create a error log and attempt to tell you the problem. When you open A3 tools from steam hit ctr+L. When modding for arma be prepared for major headaches every step of the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshock 513 Posted March 16, 2015 Not sure if it could be the issue or it was just a copy paste error, but the "picture = ..." in the config.cpp has ".pa a" not ".paa" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
