Vest Sample BIS Problem

[maxjoiner 284]

Hi all,

I've tried to use "A3_vest_example.p3d" model to create

a new custom vest.

Despite my efforts, the only objects visible in game were

those added (that is inside the same model 3D A3_vest_example),

while the original vest 3D Bis it has not been seen in game....

All the objects like the belt or the custom radio worked fine,

but the vest was invisible....

what Did I wrong?!

have you got a model.cfg where the name of the P3D of the vest is in the class?

eg         class JPC_1: ArmaMan{};
             class JPC_2: ArmaMan{};      

[maxjoiner 284]

Of course:

 

class Police_vest : ArmaMan {};

 

As I already written, all the things into the 3D model work except the Vest BIS

Thanks for Your reply...

so you added the parts onto the BIS vest? and only your added parts show?

 

is the name of your p3d in the config.cpp Police_Vest, and is that how it's saved in the folder?

can you post your whole config file, and model file, it sounds like you're missing a path somewhere

[maxjoiner 284]

Yes right....

In the end I've made also new 3D vest model...

My custom vest works fine the Bis Vest doesn't work...

Of Course, inside the same P3D file and with the same config/model.cfg...

So I think there are not errors in my config/model....

I believe there is something into the bis vest that block it, but I don't understand thing...

[maxjoiner 284]

I think I understood the problem....

Into the original BIS vest there are the sections body already defined.

But they are differents from those We can make with the Object builder,

In fact if we select one of them, the colour will be different (it's blue and red) from the section made

from us (It's only red).

I don't know if this problem is only my problem, but I can fix it only changing the original body sections 

with the custom body sections...

[road runner 4344]

whatever you name the selections as, it has to be the same in the model.cfg or else the vest wont show.

[maxjoiner 284]

Maybe I'm not able to express this concepts as it should in English....

I mean not the sections body names, I didn't changed them...

I mean the differents colours of the BIS sections, regard my sections

done manually.

BIS sections Blue and Red.

Manually sections only Red.

The result is:

If I use sections done manually  the vest works fine,

otherwise It doesn't works....

The different colours are the weight values, the blue IIRC is where there's less value on that vertices, the read is more.

When you highlight your selections on the vest, did you right click and redifine them in the selections window? When you highlight all your selections, they will be red, as it's like a default highlight I think.

 

Am I right in saying you have a vest within the default sample vest? If that's the case, that's probably your issue, I don't think you can have that unless they're all part of the same model, and weighted identical.

Thanks for Your help,

Today I've learned something more.....
