Tisor 17 Posted February 25, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm trying to change the Rope (ropeCreate) default model so it looks different. I'm trying to model a crane and want it to look like a steal black cable. This is the config replacement I'm trying to do: class CfgPatches { class tisor_crane { units[]={}; weapons[]={}; magazines[] = {}; requiredVersion=0.1; requiredAddons[]={}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class All; class Rope : All { model = "\tisor_crane\tisor_ropesegment.p3d"; }; }; But I can't get it to work. In Project Life they have been success on changing the model to a Hose one so it can be done... but how? Can anyone give me a hand please. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance Isnt there a steel cable in the editor...or can you change the color/texture of the rope to black or a dark silver? Diesel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diesel No, as far as I know. That's why I need to redefine the model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it was a rope I was thinking about..in the seaport section I think..always thought to myself..well thats dumb what are ya gonna do with a single piece of straight rope..lol You making a crane from scratch? Thats impressive! Diesel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually is working with an animated vertex making a black cilinder longer... but is not as real as I wanna achieve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheyenneAH56 77 Posted May 5, 2017 I'm trying to do the same think for my SCmod, to improve the visual rendering of the pipe. I made a rope... Yes... but invisible : class CfgVehicles { class All {}; class Rope: All {}; class SCrope: Rope { access = 0; displayName = ""; simulation = "rope"; side = 8; maxRelLenght = 1.1; maxExtraLenght = 10.2; alwaysTarget = 0; irTarget = 0; irScanRangeMin = 0; irScanRangeMax = 0; irScanToEyeFactor = 1; laserTarget = 0; laserScanner = 0; nvTarget = 0; nvScanner = 0; artilleryTarget = 0; artilleryScanner = 0; author = "CheyenneAH56"; mapSize = 0.03; _generalMacro = "Rope"; scope = 1; model = "\SCmod_fire\data\SCrope.p3d"; }; }; I tested with this script : ~3.5 systemChat "init script"; _veh = (vehicle player); _veh setDamage 0.0; _SCrope = "SCrope" createVehicle [0,0,-2]; _SCrope attachTo [_veh, [0,0,-2]]; _posPipe = [(position _veh select 0), (position _veh select 1), (position _veh select 2) - 3]; _pipeX = createVehicle ["Land_BarrelEmpty_F", _posPipe, [], 0, "NONE"]; _pipeX addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {false}]; [_pipeX,[0,0,0],[0,0,0]] ropeAttachTo _SCrope; ~1.0 _pipeX setMass (getmass _veh / 4); _SCrope setMass 2.0; systemChat format ["_pipeX : %1 - pipeMass : %3 - rope : %2 - ropeMass : %4", _pipeX, _SCrope, getMass _pipeX, getMass _SCrope]; Result : Land_BarrelEmpty_F is connected to invisible rope, with all rope proprieties. :-( I hope to understand how Project Life has done the manipulation.

CheyenneAH56 77 Posted May 5, 2017 same with _SCrope = "rope" createVehicle [0,0,-2]; The problem is not the model. The rope model seem to appear only with BIS rope command (like ropecreate, etc.). Another method could be to change model of rope after creation. Searching for that, but ... :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheyenneAH56 77 Posted May 7, 2017 DONE ! :D simply repack original pbo with your modification. ... I'll test to apply personal textures and add hiddensection, to conserv original model look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CheyenneAH56 77 Posted July 20, 2017 extract rope config and rope proxies from proxies files in data_f.pbo repack it with a hiddenselection in config.cpp ; and use ODOL web converter to edit original rope proxy model, and add a selection name to define in hiddenselection config.

But then, you pack a new data_f.pbo or what? Can I change the rope size to make it like you did with the hose of the helicopter? PD: Awesome job on SC Mod, enjoying a lot playing with it!

CheyenneAH56 77 Posted July 21, 2017 no I don't repack data_f.pbo. create new addon folder. in my addons folder : \config.cpp \proxies\rope\model.cfg \proxies\rope\rope.p3d ----> modified with ODOL Web converter ----> Name original segment with named selection and added new rope segment with named selections.
