Modding issue.

[hololand 27]

If this is in the wrong place can a mod move it.
 
I am making a simple model to mod into Arma however I just cannot get any sufficient working help on how to do this. Everyone tells me something different.
 
My mod folder (pre-compiled looks like this).

My config is as follows.

class CfgPatches
{
class hol_grenade
{
units[] = {};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 1.0;
requiredAddons[] = {};
};
};
 
class cfgVehicles
{
class Static;
class hol_grenade : Static
{
scope = 2;
model = "\hol_grenade\addons\hol_grenade";
displayName = "HololandNade";
vehicleClass = "junk";
};
 
};

After compiling if i peek with pboviewer the mod looks like this.

 

My problem Is that whilst i get the option to spawn the object in the editor..... It is either non-existent or invisible. My best guess would be that the textures or model are simply not loading. But why? (It's worth noting I do not see the .rvmat in the compiled version? not sure if this is normal).

I guess it would be becuase the path to the model is grenade -> hol_grenade. And in the config you put hol_grenade ->addons -> hol_grenade.

I changed this, with still no luck. Would you like me to upload the mod folder? see if you can find the problem?

[Jackal326 1158]

Why are you including the 'addons' folder in your path to begin with?!

 

Given your above folder structure the model path should be 

model = "\grenade\hol_grenade.p3d";

or "\hol_grenade\hol_grenade.p3d" if you bother to tag your pbo as well.

[hololand 27]

Still no luck. I have moved to a bit better folder management.

 

Mod folder 

 

Desktop\hol_grenade

> data

> config.cpp

> hol_grenade.p3d

 

Inside data is the same as in the original post.

 

My config is now

 

class CfgPatches
{
    class hol_grenade
    {
        units[] = {};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 1.0;
        requiredAddons[] = {};
    };
};


class cfgVehicles
{
class Static;
class hol_grenade : Static
{
scope = 2;
model = "\hol_grenade\hol_grenade.p3d"";
displayName = "HololandNade";
vehicleClass = "junk";
};


};

I am at the point where I will literally pay somebody to either show me how to do this or to just do it.

Solved :

 

Was an issue with the textures in the .p3d, They were calling some random wierd ones. Also a simple coding error with the "" when calling the model.

 

Here is the finished result for anyone interested :), (I scaled it up so you can see it better)

And this matters why?

And this matters why? 

 

because taking models from other people and pretending like they're yours is generally frowned upon and can get you a bad rep in this community.

not crediting the original author counts as "pretending they're yours"
