Invisible uniform model

[canis lupus 20]

I have been trying to make my first uniform for arma3 for an upcoming project. Its a lot different from A2 so I have watched all the tutorials and searched around quite a bit but haven't been able to solve my problem.

 

I made a simple test model for the uniform just to get started and I have made at least a dozen config attempts but no luck so far. 

 

I get the uniform in the game and can find it in the virtual arsenal just fine, but Theres no model, all I see is the underwear model. the uniform is there however when you look at the inventory and when put on the ground the standard model shows as its supposed to.

 

I looked at other mods with custom model uniforms but can't seem to spot the difference.

 

Any ideas?.

did you forgot to create a soldier with the uniform?

I tried that as well I got an error about a missing model ... Do I need to create a soldier with the uniform, just to be able to choose it in the arsenal just as the other uniforms??

 

I noticed that there isn't anywhere in the config that refer to the actual p3d model but I can't find any examples of that either

Uniform = a soldier's model. ;) For more information, please try the Characters and Gear Encoding Guide. That should answer most of your question, and the forum shall be able to answer the rest. :)

Okay got it working ... almost, the model is now visible but hanging way below where its supposed to be

Can you upload a screenshot of the uniform?

Looks like this

[PuFu 4591]

do you have the new uniform defined in your model.cfg?

[KokaKolaA3 394]

as PuFu said, it looks like you have not defined your new uniform in model.cfg as PuFu said, 

 

check if you have this at the end of your model.cfg:

class GSG9_uniform : ArmaMan {};

GSG9_uniform is just an example.

[canis lupus 20]

class cfgModels

{

    class ArmaMan;

    class Example_Soldier_F: ArmaMan{};

};

 

 

I figured it was the model.cfg it looks like this, still not working

I don't think external references work with model.cfg, only direct inheritance (i.e. inheriting from something defined previously in the SAME model.cfg). Also, you need to define the Skeleton used.

So you'd need a full define for BOTH the Skeleton AND the model itself - something like this:

class CfgSkeletons
{
	class Default
	{
		isDiscrete = 1;
		skeletonInherit = "";
		skeletonBones[] = {};
	};
	class OFP2_ManSkeleton
	{
		isDiscrete = 0;
		skeletonInherit = "";
		skeletonBones[] =

Also why, if you're using the samples as a base, would you edit what was already IN the sample's model.cfg?

Thank you for all the help guys and thanks Jackal it worked perfectly. I edited the sample .cfg because it didn't work, it seems the bottom part with the classname was faulty somehow I'm not sure actually but copied yours over and it worked so thanks again everyone for the help.

 

I had another question... when using the viewer the textures seems to be low quality unless I zoom in really close
