Jack Martindale 0 Posted February 4, 2017 So I've created my faction, all the units are in, but I'm totally lost as to what to do next, I've tried searching for guides but none give easy or definitive answers. On the ALiVE wiki it says to click the 'generate config' button but I don't see this anywhere on my ORBAT tool. Another tutorial said to copy the 'full faction' and 'cfgpatches' export option, but failed to mention where to paste them. I'm completely new to modding, and only want to make this simple faction to mess around in the editor/some scenarios with. I'm totally lost now, can anyone help?

spyderblack723 407 Posted February 4, 2017 Select the faction in the ORBAT Creator and click (on the top menubar) Export >> Full Faction Post the data that was copied to your clipboard to the autogen.hpp file Then click Export >> CfgPatches Post the data that was copied to your clipboad to the CfgPatches.hpp file The wiki will explain where to obtain the mod template file and how to construct the mod from there. Please direct further questions to http://alivemod.com/forum/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Martindale 0 Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks for your reply, I have the template downloaded, but the further instructions on the wiki don't make sense to me, I have pasted in the code to both files but I have no idea what to do next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friznit2 350 Posted February 5, 2017 Do you know how to pbo files for ArmA3? You can use ArmA3 tools or any number of popular tools to do it. There are lots of guides around how to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Martindale 0 Posted February 5, 2017 I'm afraid not, I've never touched modding before, I just wanted to make a quick custom faction to make things easier for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tobur 37 Posted December 13, 2017 Creating my own faction using ORBAT worked. But placing those newly created infantry units in the editor I cannot change their loadout. They automatically revert back to the original equipment when starting the mission. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I understand ORBAT really just scripts a faction's unit loadouts so its not possible to change them in the editor because the loadout script runs when the units spawn. The only way to do it is to open the faction in ORBAT and change a unit's loadout from there and recompile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
