Textures on Buildings

[_SCAR 139]

Hello,
I'm trying to understand if it is possible to replace the textures in Arma's houses.

I'm building a terrain with typically very colored houses, and that's all I want to do: create a mod with houses based on vanilla Arma, just with different textures.

 

Is this doable?

 

This is what allows me to see a new building type in 2DEN:

 

class CfgPatches
{
	class Colored_Houses
	{
		// author
		name = "Colored Houses";
		author = "_SCAR";
		// settings
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.5;
		requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Structures_F"};
	};
};

// main object classes
class CfgVehicleClasses
{
	class Colored_Houses_Class
	{
		displayName = "Colored Houses";
	};
};

class CfgVehicles
{
	class Land_i_House_Big_01_V1_F;
	
	class Colored_Houses_House_Large_Red: Land_i_House_Big_01_V1_F
	{
		scope = 2;
		vehicleClass = "Colored_Houses_Class";
		editorCategory="EdCat_Structures";
	};
};

But it is unclear to me if there's a way to set the new texture.

I've tried:

 

class CfgVehicles
{
	class House;
	class House_F: House {};
	
	class Land_i_House_Big_01_V1_F: House_F
	{
		class EventHandlers;
	};
	
	class Colored_Houses_House_Large_Red: Land_i_House_Big_01_V1_F
	{
		scope = 2;
		vehicleClass = "Colored_Houses_Class";
		editorCategory="EdCat_Structures";
		displayName="House (Large, Red)";	
		hiddenSelections[]= {"house_red"};
		hiddenSelectionsTextures[]= {"\Colored_Houses\data\colored_houses_house_large_red_mlod_co.paa"};
		
		class EventHandlers: EventHandlers
		{
			init = "(_this select 0) setObjectTexture [0, ""\Colored_Houses\data\colored_houses_house_large_red_mlod_co.paa""]";
		};	
	};
};

To no avail.

For the curious: 

hint format ["%1", getObjectTextures house];

*does* return the additional texture.

For each color -> new .p3d (with the new/different texture)

Right, but the .p3d is a binarized file, so I can't modify it.

Wait for the Malden DLC, which will be released at June 22.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm OK with Vanilla Arma houses, I'd just like to change some of their colors.

[KokaKolaA3 394]

These are the Vanilla Arma houses, they just have different colors, that's exactly what you want, isn't it?

You cannot give them different colors on yourself, as you already mentioned, because they are binarized.

 

[_SCAR 139]

it partially is, yes, because there are some buildings (even though I could only see an azure one as new).

Though, I'd like to see more diversity.
