Tried making my own vest

[TotesGotes 12]

Hey all. I've decided to make my own mod for personal use. I've no problems with export to PBO, I've managed to learn enough to not get any export errors - but I've failed to find out why my vest isn't showing in the list of vests in Arsenal.

Here is my config.cpp:

#define private		0
#define protected		1
#define public		2

#define true	1
#define false	0

class CfgPatches {
	class DenMenMod {
		units[] = {"DenMen_Vest"};
		weapons[] = {"OD_Heavy_Vest"};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
		requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Characters_F"};
	};
};

class cfgWeapons {
	class Vest_Camo_Base;	// External class reference
	class V_PlateCarrierIAGL_dgtl;	// External class reference
	class VestItem;	// External class reference
	
	class OD_Heavy_Vest : V_PlateCarrierIAGL_dgtl {
		author = "DenMen";
		displayname = "OD Heavy Vest";
		model = "A3\Characters_F_Beta\INDEP\equip_ia_ga_carrier_gl_rig";
		picture = "\A3\Characters_F_Mark\Data\UI\icon_ga_carrier_gl_rig_digi.paa";
		scope = public;
		hiddenSelections[] = {"camo1", "camo2"};
		hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\DenMen\Data\OD.paa", "\DenMen\Data\OD_h.paa"};
		descriptionShort = $STR_A3_SP_AL_IV;
		
		class ItemInfo : VestItem {
			uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F_beta\INDEP\equip_ia_ga_carrier_gl_rig.p3d";
			containerClass = "Supply120";
			mass = 80;
			hiddenSelections[] = {"camo1", "camo2"};
			
			class HitpointsProtectionInfo {
				class Neck {
					hitpointName = "HitNeck";
					armor = 10;
					passThrough = 0.5;
				};
				
				class Arms {
					hitpointName = "HitArms";
					armor = 10;
					passThrough = 0.5;
				};
				
				class Chest {
					hitpointName = "HitChest";
					armor = 80;
					passThrough = 0.6;
				};
				
				class Diaphragm {
					hitpointName = "HitDiaphragm";
					armor = 80;
					passThrough = 0.6;
				};
				
				class Abdomen {
					hitpointName = "HitAbdomen";
					armor = 25;
					passThrough = 0.3;
				};
				
				class Pelvis {
					hitpointName = "HitPelvis";
					armor = 25;
					passThrough = 0.3;
				};
				
				class Body {
					hitpointName = "HitBody";
					passThrough = 0.8;
					
				};
			};
		};
	};
};


class cfgMods {
	author = "DenMen";
};

I should also add that these codes are snips from other codes that I tried to study.

A few things. First, I'm no expert but have successfully retextured vests, so here's my feedback.

 

Not sure if you're using the wiki page as a resource, but I would. The wiki doesn't show the hitpoints, but you've included them so you're good.

 

I think you may be missing the following lines in your config;

 

scope = 2; // 2 = class is available in the editor; 1 = class is unavailable in the editor, but can be accessed via a macro; 0 = class is unavailable (and used for inheritance only).

weaponPoolAvailable = 1;

allowedSlots[] = {901};  // This means the vest can be put into a backpack.

 

Not sure if all these are needed, but I include them in my work, which I have no problem seeing in game :)

 

I would make the vest lighter/smaller, maybe change

mass = 80;

to 50?

 

Good luck!

Thanks, Rich! I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out. lol

 

Anyway, yep, I haven't been using the wiki page as my guide for this. I got lost the last time I did so I didn't bother checking it out again. I'll be sure to take the time and hit it up again.

 

I set the mass to 80 because this is a GL Rig, the vest with shoulder pads? so I felt this was the right weight.

 

UPDATE: IT WORKED!
