Need help with simple Helmet Retexture (Cannot Load Texture Error)

[Colt_M249 1]

Hi, I am having an issue with actually getting my re textures into the game. I have tried many different clothing items, but am currently just trying to get a helmet reskin into a mod. This mod is just for personal use and just to learn how these such things work.

 

When loading up the Virtual Arsenal and clicking on my custom headgear I am presented with the following error:

Cannot load texture colts_retextures\data\colt_equip1_co.paa

 

I have searched the forums and given up numerous times on this project, i just don't know what i need to do to get a simple texture into a mod format and playable in Arma 3

 

File Structure:

@Colts_Retextures > Addons > Colts_Retextures.pbo > Data > Colt_equip1_co.paa

@Colts_Retextures > Addons > Colts_Retextures.pbo > config.cpp

 

Those 2 files are the only files in the mod thus far

 

I'm at a complete loss of what to do. I have followed many tutorials, but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank You!

 

My current config.cpp

Spoiler

class CfgPatches 
{ 
    class My_Mod_Config 
    { 
        units[] = {"Custom_Uniform_Mod";}; 
        weapons[] = {}; 
        requiredVersion = 0.1; 
        requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Characters_F"}; 
    }; 
}; 
class cfgWeapons
{
	class ItemCore;
	class HeadgearItem;
	class H_HelmetB: ItemCore
	{
		author = "Colt";
		scope = 2;
		weaponPoolAvailable = 1;
		displayName = "Colt's Helmet 1";
		picture = "";
		model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_plain";
		hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
		hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\Colts_Retextures\Data\Colt_equip1_co.paa"};
		class ItemInfo: HeadgearItem
		{
			mass = 40;
			uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_plain";
			modelsides[] = {TCivilian, TWest};
			hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
			class HitpointsProtectInfo
			{
				class Head
				{
					hitPointName = "HitHead";
					armor = 6;
					passThrough = 0.5;
				};
			};
		};
	};
};

Hello

 

Did you try the path like this.

\Data\Colt_equip1_co.paa"};

Im at work and not sure if you need to put in the mod folder to.
