Cannot retexture gear after Personal Protection update

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

Up until now, I've been able to retexture plate carriers for NATO without a problem. However, after the Personal Protection update rolled out on devbranch, I haven't been able to change textures for the "V_PlateCarrier1_rgr", "V_PlateCarrier2_rgr", "V_PlateCarrierGL_rgr", and "V_PlateCarrierSpec_rgr".

};

Anything I'm doing wrong?

The config seems fine (besides a couple of things, mentioned below). I wonder, do you have those configs locally? If so, do you launch the game with a -filepatching parameter?

 

About the code: you needlessly copy a lot of stuff from the original class; basically just having the hiddenSelections[], hiddenSelectionsTextures[] in the class itself, and hiddenSelections[] in ItemInfo subclass would do the trick (unless you want to change something else as well). Also, be careful with localization strings: if you use them (e.g.: $STR_A3_V_PlateCarrier1_rgr0), do so without quotation marks.

Could the issue be that the subclass is VestItem: ItemInfo rather than ItemInfo: ItemInfo? The latter is what it appears as in the characters_f config.

[Locklear 214]

ItemInfo: VestItem, rather. But as a matter of fact, could be. It doesn't seem to me it should matter in this case, but when I tested it a bit, I encountered some problems, so it might be better to inherit your ItemInfo subclass from ItemInfo instead of VestItem. Then it should properly take the content of ItemInfo subclass of the vests' parent classes.

I tried ItemInfo but to no avail. I also tested my addon on Stable but the vests didn't work. Oddly, in the Config Viewer, it shows it as having no hiddenSelectionsTextures or hiddenSelections. And another edit of the V_PlateCarrier3_rgr didn't work period, with no code at all in the viewer.

To be sure, I'll ask again: if you have your mod in local data, do you launch the game with -filepatching parameter? Besides that, I'd kindly ask you to send me your mod (in PM, I guess), so I can try it here.

I'm not launching the game w/ the -filepatching parameter. Also, I'll PM the mod + some of the unbinarized code.

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

Update! After moving the BLUFOR vests into the main config file, everything works now!

 

Thanks for the help. :)

[Locklear 214]

Glad to help. :) I guess the duplicity of declaration of some classes, overlooked due to the includes, was eventually sorted out by merging the config files you mention.
