wendyvonbraun 164 Posted April 25, 2017 Hey all... I've been making a simple model with a transparent texture to represent a camouflaged helmet scrim which can be worn via the glasses inventory slot... I've been running into a wall trying to figure out exactly what is wrong with the object, everything has been done so far via the Blender ArmA Tools addon which has worked for me previously in the past with my T-64BV, literally skipped the O2/OB step entirely and straight to the game... http://imgur.com/a/VFmr4 The first problem I ran into is that the model was on the ground aaaaaaand it is mostly transparent... well let me explain... I can see the outlines vaguely, but not camo texture... Right well I fixed the model showing on the ground (sort of)... Now the model is behind my character near the center of the torso BUT following head movements... So I change a few things around figuring "It must be the model.cfg". I change some lines around... And here is what has been driving me up the wall... the model still appears in the Virtual Arsenal inventory list... But when I place it on my character it is totally invisible... Or maybe it's just not there at all... Here is the config file: //Class camonet : config.bin{ class CfgPatches { class camonet { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {}; }; }; class cfgGlasses { class None; class camonet: None { author = "Baker"; displayname = "Camo_Scrim"; model = "\camonet\camonet.p3d"; picture = "\camonet\UI\Tiny.paa"; identityTypes[] = { "NoGlasses",0,"G_NATO_default",300,"G_NATO_casual",0,"G_NATO_pilot",0,"G_NATO_recon",50,"G_NATO_SF",300,"G_NATO_sniper",0, "G_NATO_diver",0,"G_IRAN_default",0,"G_IRAN_diver",0,"G_GUERIL_default",00,"G_HAF_default",50,"G_CIVIL_female",0,"G_CIVIL_male",0 }; mass = 4; }; } Now here is the Model.cfg: class CfgSkeletons { class Default { isDiscrete = 1; skeletonInherit = ""; skeletonBones[] = {}; }; class OFP2_ManSkeleton { isDiscrete = 0; skeletonInherit = ""; skeletonBones[] = { "Pelvis","", "Spine","Pelvis", "Spine1","Spine", "Spine2","Spine1", "Spine3","Spine2", "Camera","Pelvis", "weapon","Spine1", "launcher","Spine1", //Head skeleton in hierarchy "neck","Spine3", "neck1","neck", "head","neck1", //New facial features "Face_Hub","head", "Face_Jawbone","Face_Hub", "Face_Jowl","Face_Jawbone", "Face_chopRight","Face_Jawbone", "Face_chopLeft","Face_Jawbone", "Face_LipLowerMiddle","Face_Jawbone", "Face_LipLowerLeft","Face_Jawbone", "Face_LipLowerRight","Face_Jawbone", "Face_Chin","Face_Jawbone", "Face_Tongue","Face_Jawbone", "Face_CornerRight","Face_Hub", "Face_CheekSideRight","Face_CornerRight", "Face_CornerLeft","Face_Hub", "Face_CheekSideLeft","Face_CornerLeft", "Face_CheekFrontRight","Face_Hub", "Face_CheekFrontLeft","Face_Hub", "Face_CheekUpperRight","Face_Hub", "Face_CheekUpperLeft","Face_Hub", "Face_LipUpperMiddle","Face_Hub", "Face_LipUpperRight","Face_Hub", "Face_LipUpperLeft","Face_Hub", "Face_NostrilRight","Face_Hub", "Face_NostrilLeft","Face_Hub", "Face_Forehead","Face_Hub", "Face_BrowFrontRight","Face_Forehead", "Face_BrowFrontLeft","Face_Forehead", "Face_BrowMiddle","Face_Forehead", "Face_BrowSideRight","Face_Forehead", "Face_BrowSideLeft","Face_Forehead", "Face_Eyelids","Face_Hub", "Face_EyelidUpperRight","Face_Hub", "Face_EyelidUpperLeft","Face_Hub", "Face_EyelidLowerRight","Face_Hub", "Face_EyelidLowerLeft","Face_Hub", "EyeLeft","Face_Hub", "EyeRight","Face_Hub", //Left upper side "LeftShoulder","Spine3", "LeftArm","LeftShoulder", "LeftArmRoll","LeftArm", "LeftForeArm","LeftArmRoll", "LeftForeArmRoll","LeftForeArm", "LeftHand","LeftForeArmRoll", "LeftHandRing","LeftHand", "LeftHandRing1","LeftHandRing", "LeftHandRing2","LeftHandRing1", "LeftHandRing3","LeftHandRing2", "LeftHandPinky1","LeftHandRing", "LeftHandPinky2","LeftHandPinky1", "LeftHandPinky3","LeftHandPinky2", "LeftHandMiddle1","LeftHand", "LeftHandMiddle2","LeftHandMiddle1", "LeftHandMiddle3","LeftHandMiddle2", "LeftHandIndex1","LeftHand", "LeftHandIndex2","LeftHandIndex1", "LeftHandIndex3","LeftHandIndex2", "LeftHandThumb1","LeftHand", "LeftHandThumb2","LeftHandThumb1", "LeftHandThumb3","LeftHandThumb2", //Right upper side "RightShoulder","Spine3", "RightArm","RightShoulder", "RightArmRoll","RightArm", "RightForeArm","RightArmRoll", "RightForeArmRoll","RightForeArm", "RightHand","RightForeArmRoll", "RightHandRing","RightHand", "RightHandRing1","RightHandRing", "RightHandRing2","RightHandRing1", "RightHandRing3","RightHandRing2", "RightHandPinky1","RightHandRing", "RightHandPinky2","RightHandPinky1", "RightHandPinky3","RightHandPinky2", "RightHandMiddle1","RightHand", "RightHandMiddle2","RightHandMiddle1", "RightHandMiddle3","RightHandMiddle2", "RightHandIndex1","RightHand", "RightHandIndex2","RightHandIndex1", "RightHandIndex3","RightHandIndex2", "RightHandThumb1","RightHand", "RightHandThumb2","RightHandThumb1", "RightHandThumb3","RightHandThumb2", //Left lower side "LeftUpLeg","Pelvis", "LeftUpLegRoll","LeftUpLeg", "LeftLeg","LeftUpLegRoll", "LeftLegRoll","LeftLeg", "LeftFoot","LeftLegRoll", "LeftToeBase","LeftFoot", //Right lower side "RightUpLeg","Pelvis", "RightUpLegRoll","RightUpLeg", "RightLeg","RightUpLegRoll", "RightLegRoll","RightLeg", "RightFoot","RightLegRoll", "RightToeBase","RightFoot" };

I'm not sure what you mean. I would if I could, however thinking that I had fixed the problem I never took a picture before I was unable to replicate anything. The object was last seen somewhere near my waist and following head movements. Now it's just not there at all... Almost like I broke the .P3D but the problem is that I can see the object in Buldozer just fine. I don't know what I did wrong... I can see the UI icon in the Virtual Arsenal for the object, but when selected nothing appears, and when I placed it on the floor, nothing is there... Furthermore when I placed a unit equipped with it in Eden, I placed the unit at least 50m into the air and there is no artifact underneath, above or inside of him.

wendyvonbraun 164 Posted April 26, 2017 By the way, the object is helmet scrim... i.e. camo netting that you put on a helmet... To achieve this effect I had to make the model transparent while putting a PNG file to create the net. Here is the example: I suspect that maybe the model is there, it's just transparent/invisible? I just don't know... I've tested for hours and hours different ways to make it appear in game... Maybe I'm doing the autocenter incorrectly...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EllaElectro 15 Posted April 26, 2017 I figured out that strange results occur as soon as I use white background in my textures. So better switch it to a black background (alpha 1). Afterwards try to convert your .png to .paa via texview (comes with the armatools). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I decided to completely remake the whole thing using the blender cloth animator and freezing the "cloth" at a specific frame to achieve the desired effect... In my opinion it looks much better... Anyways thank you very much for your help, I don't exactly know what I did wrong last time... Must have been some obscure check box that I accidentally clicked maybe? Anyways.. I thought I'd show you the finished result since you pretty much convinced me to stay on task and figure it all out: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
