npmproductions13 14 Posted August 8, 2016 Hi all im having a minor issue with a helmet i'm currently working on. I pack the pbo fine and all that jazz but once im in game i get an error saying the p3d cannot be opened. The p3d is all original, as in i own it and made it from scratch. Iv'e made a few vehicles in the past but was wondering if anyone has an idea why the helmet won't open. Also on a side note i reduced the vert count to about 400 verts and still no joy. This is my config.cpp class CfgPatches { class Irishs_Gear { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {}; }; }; class cfgWeapons { class ItemCore; /// External class reference class InventoryItem_Base_F; /// External class reference class HeadgearItem : InventoryItem_Base_F { allowedSlots[] = {901, 605}; /// defines where can be the cap placed, it is small enough to fit in backpack type = 605; /// standard slot for the cap is on head hiddenSelections[] = {}; /// default caps don't have any changeable selections hitpointName = "HitHead"; /// what hitpoint is covered with the cap to have additional protection }; class MK6 : ItemCore { scope = 2; weaponPoolAvailable = 1; displayName = "Mk6 Jungle Warfare"; picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_H_HelmetB_CA.paa"; model = "\MK6_Helmet\Mk6"; class ItemInfo : HeadgearItem { mass = 10; uniformModel = "\MK6_Helmet\Mk6"; modelSides[] = {3, 1}; armor = 3*0.5; passThrough = 0.8; }; }; }; This is my model.cfg class CfgSkeletons { class Default { isDiscrete = 1; skeletonInherit = ""; skeletonBones[] = {}; }; class OFP2_ManSkeleton { isDiscrete = 0;

bloodwyn1756 130 Posted August 8, 2016 model = "\MK6_Helmet\Mk6"; Missing .p3d I guess? :€) model = "\MK6_Helmet\Mk6.p3d"; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1181 Posted August 8, 2016 In the model.cfg the MODEL needs to be defined, not the cfgAddons classname Change class Irishs_Gear : ArmaMan{}; to class MK6: ArmaMan{}; 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npmproductions13 14 Posted August 8, 2016 Thanks for the reply and thanks for the adjustment. Im still getting the error saying the p3d cannot be opened. Any other ideas ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1181 Posted August 8, 2016 I assume the path is correct? Also, your armour value wont work as it doesn't use the new PPE method of defining hitpoints etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npmproductions13 14 Posted August 8, 2016 My path is \MK6_Helmet\Mk6.p3d"; as seen in the config and my entire P drive directory is ‪P:\MK6_Helmet\Mk6.p3d I'm thinking now myself it could be the path as i used a sample p3d to test it and still the same error.

slatts 1978 Posted August 8, 2016 Is Mk6 helmet the name of the actual PBO? Or is that a sub folder? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npmproductions13 14 Posted August 8, 2016 When i pack the pbo i get MK6_Helmet.pbo as the result. I have the Mk6.p3d within a folder called MK6_Helmet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slatts 1978 Posted August 8, 2016 I suggest you first name the main folder to something unique to you. NPMP_Mk6_Helmet Now inside the main folder you have your p3d, config and model.cfg. parameter in the config should now be model = "\NPMP_mk6_helmet\Mk6_helmet.p3d"; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npmproductions13 14 Posted August 9, 2016 Ok so i took your advice and made the folder structure more neat and now has the tag (NPMP) and so on. I still have the problem i changed my p3d that i made and put an arma 3 sample p3d to test it and the sample p3d still doesn't work im not to sure if the arma samples are ready to use straight away but neither my helmet or sample hat works. Any ideas ? Thanks for all this help lads i appreciate it loads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slatts 1978 Posted August 9, 2016 What tools are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npmproductions13 14 Posted August 9, 2016 Well to make the model i used blender. Then i ported that to OBJ Builder. To do lods and all that stuff. Then i use addon builder to compile the files into PBO EDIT Ok i used pboProject instead and the hat is visible. But now its in my characters stomach area.

Cunico 995 Posted August 9, 2016 ...But now its in my characters stomach area. Appears you didn't weigh your object to the "head" selection. If you're not sure, as you can see below the shemagh is attached to the "Head" selection on the right. You simply just have to make a new selection and name it "Head". Then weigh all the verts and redefine the selection. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're not sure, as you can see below the shemagh is attached to the "Head" selection on the right. You simply just have to make a new selection and name it "Head". Then weigh all the verts and redefine the selection. and/or the model.cfg is still FUBAR as I outlined earlier...If you've renamed your model as suggested by Slatts earlier in the thread, you also need to make the same name change in your model.cfg...

npmproductions13 14 Posted August 9, 2016 I have updated the model.cfg to the correct names as far as i know. And i have a head selection but cant give weight or mass to it. What do you mean x3kj ? I have a geoLod but has no selections or anything in it. Ok i got it working thanks lads. Ill now have to look into adding the hitbox of the helmet and such aswell as texturing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

npmproductions13 14 Posted August 10, 2016 Again before i call it a wrap an idea why my helmet is transparent ? But then when far away its visible. Would this be caused by the paa being wrong in some way ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1181 Posted August 10, 2016 Would this be caused by the paa being wrong in some way ? Yes. Make sure its a 24bit .TGA file with absolutely 0 transparency (a completely WHITE ALPHA mask). Then save it with the extension _co.paa (following the BI texture Naming Conventions). Only once you've completed these steps THEN use TexView to convert the texture... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npmproductions13 14 Posted August 10, 2016 Ok is it possible to use a transparent image as i need the design of a transparent image as seen here ? Without transparent images the leafs are solid and i have this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1181 Posted August 10, 2016 Make the 'feathers' a 32bit TGA with whatever Alpha channel gradient you want and give it the extension _ca.tga Make the rest of the helmet a 24bit tga as I outlined above 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npmproductions13 14 Posted August 10, 2016 Ok i will do that now but one question. What do you mean by the alpha gradient. I know the alpha channel controls opacity but thats about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1181 Posted August 10, 2016 Ok i will do that now but one question. What do you mean by the alpha gradient. I know the alpha channel controls opacity but thats about it. It was a poor choice of words. I simply meant use whatever level of varying transparency you want (the stems wont be transparent but the plume itself will be presumably. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
