Try this:

class CfgPatches {
	class DJGG_lemondragon_static {
		units[] = {"DJGG_Postkasse"};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
		requiredAddons[] = {};
	};
};

class CfgVehicles {   		
	class Items_base_F;
	class DJGG_Postkasse : Items_base_F {
		author = "Dressi";
		scope = 2;
		scopeCurator = 2;
		displayName = "DJGG_Postkasse";
		model = "\DJGigaGaming\Postkasse\objects\postkasse.p3d";
		editorCategory = "EdCat_Furniture";
		editorSubcategory = "EdSubcat_Office";

Are you using a p:\ drive and have you got an extracted \a3\ folder?

 

Can you open the p3d in Object Builders Buldozer?

 

Pack it into a .pbo with Mikero's pboProject (paid and free versions available):

https://armaservices.maverick-applications.com/Products/MikerosDosTools/

 

View the binlog and report back if there are any errors or warnings.

 thats from the last 3 lines in my rpt maybe its this?

i dont know what you mean with using a p drive for what? yes i have it to arma 3 tools i think. and yes i can open it in object builder buldozer. and yes it is packed to a .pbo i am using "BinPBo Personal edition"

@UK_Apollo  hello again i have now tried to make a pbo with pbo project, and i get this error:

 

14:40:09: Extensions:

rerun with -noisy option to see decode

[UK_Apollo 475]

Yes, add the required Addon...

 

class CfgPatches {
	class DJGG_lemondragon_static {
		units[] = {"DJGG_Postkasse"};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
		requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Weapons_F"};
	};
};

class CfgVehicles {   		
	class Items_base_F;
	class DJGG_Postkasse : Items_base_F {
		author = "Dressi";
		scope = 2;
		scopeCurator = 2;
		displayName = "DJGG_Postkasse";
		model = "\DJGigaGaming\Postkasse\objects\postkasse.p3d";
		editorCategory = "EdCat_Furniture";
		editorSubcategory = "EdSubcat_Office";
		destrType = "DestructNo";
	};
};

 

You should have created a P:\ drive using the BIS tools.

Use Mikero's Arma3p to extract the game data to P:\a3\

 

Put your project in the P:\ drive

P:\DJGigaGaming\Postkasse\

 

Your model, postkasse.p3d should have:

1) a resolution (visible) LOD, such as "LOD 1.000" - assign a texture and rvmat

2) a Geometry LOD - find components, assign a mass, closed and convex

 

Add a Shadow LOD to make it look good.

 

Build into a pbo using Mikero's pboProject.

If it builds ok, then check the binlog for warnings.

how can i do all that i mean the things with lod, can i do it in object builder?

[UK_Apollo 475]

Yes, all in Object Builder.

 

[Dressi 1]

https://gyazo.com/1c94050c15421abb8db9c8ead214ce46

 

it is the same ingame i can still not see the object

[Dressi 1]

it still says cannot open object ...

[UK_Apollo 475]

Can you rebuild the pbo using pboProject and 'Full Build' checked.

Then post the binlog text.

 

Alternatively send me the p3d privately and I'll have a look.

[Dressi 1]

omg i am so fucking happy right now xD, its working now i tried to build it with the pbo project and it worked, all my other attempes was with binpbo personal edition. so i think the problem was with the pbo packer
