Uniform config for unit

[Redrumovy 20]

I want to give my unit BDU uniform from VSM. The problem is it seems like unit has uniform, but it actually just have a texture and no uniform item.

 

 

Here's my base class and unit config.

 

	class r_tfsa_base_a: O_Soldier_F
{
	displayName = "TFSA_Base_a"; 
	genericnames = "TakistaniMen";
	scope = 0;
	scopeCurator = 0;
	_generalMacro = "B_soldier_F";
	faction = "[R] TFSA";
	side = 2;
	vehicleClass = "R_TFSA"; 
	icon = "iconMan";
	nakedUniform = "U_BasicBody";
	uniformClass = "VSM_Multicam_BDU_Camo";
	camouflage = 1.5;
	linkedItems[] = {"V_TacChestrig_oli_F","VSM_Multicam_Cap","VSM_beard_2","ACE_fieldDressing","ACE_fieldDressing","ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","ItemRadio"};
	respawnLinkedItems[] = {"V_TacChestrig_oli_F","VSM_Multicam_Cap","VSM_beard_2","ACE_fieldDressing","ACE_fieldDressing","ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","ItemRadio"};
	weapons[] = {"rhs_weap_akms","Throw","Put"}; 
	respawnWeapons[] = {"rhs_weap_akms","Throw","Put"}; 
	magazines[] = {"rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","HandGrenade","SmokeShell","SmokeShell",};
	respawnMagazines[] = {"rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","HandGrenade","SmokeShell","SmokeShell",};
	
	class EventHandlers
	{
	init = "(_this select 0) setVariable [""BIS_enableRandomization"",false]; [(_this select 0),""fsa3""] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;";
	};
};	

 

	class TFSA_Leader: r_tfsa_base_a //Unit Class name: Class getting info from
    {
        faction = "R_TFSA"; //Your Faction
        backpack = ""; //Backpack
        vehicleclass = "TFSA"; //Unit Group
        _generalMacro = "TFSA_Leader"; //Class Name
		icon = "iconManOfficer";
        scope = 2;
        displayName = "TFSA Team Leader"; //In-Game Name
		weapons[] = {"rhs_weap_akms","binocular","Throw","Put"}; 
		respawnWeapons[] = {"rhs_weap_akms","binocular","Throw","Put"}; 
        magazines[] = {"rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","HandGrenade","SmokeShell","SmokeShell",};
        respawnMagazines[] = {"rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","rhs_30Rnd_762x39mm","HandGrenade","SmokeShell","SmokeShell",};
		linkedItems[] = {"V_TacChestrig_oli_F","VSM_Multicam_Cap","VSM_beard_2","ACE_fieldDressing","ACE_fieldDressing","ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","ItemRadio","ItemGPS"};
		respawnLinkedItems[] = {"V_TacChestrig_oli_F","VSM_Multicam_Cap","VSM_beard_2","ACE_fieldDressing","ACE_fieldDressing","ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","ItemRadio","ItemGPS"};
		uniformClass = "VSM_Multicam_BDU_Camo";
	};

What's wrong with my config? It works for other uniforms like fatigues from project opfor etc.

I even tried copying lines from VSM unit which has the uniform working normally 

 

		model = "\A3\Characters_F_Beta\INDEP\ia_officer.p3d";
		uniformClass = "VSM_Multicam_BDU_OD_Pants_Camo";
		hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo1","camo2","Insignia"};
		hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"VSM_Multicam\Data\VSM_Multicam_BDU.paa","VSM_Multicam\Data\VSM_Multicam_od_pants_1.paa"};

 

and it doesn't work as well.

Weird... Talked about the same thing 2 days ago in Arma Discord..

I'd guess you would have to put the uniform into linkedItems?

Also just like 2 days ago.. You have ACE items in "linkedItems" although these items are not linked. They belong into the "items" list.

[Redrumovy 20]

Sadly adding uniform to linkeditems does nothing.

[lordfrith 401]

do you have the VSM patch name listed in the 'required addons' part of config? maybe its loading your mod before VSM and this is causing the cfgWeapons entry to weird out. from the screenshots it works ok apart from the uniform item showing up in inventory right?

 

[Redrumovy 20]

I added "VSM_Multicam" - pbo which includes uniforms I want to use to requiredaddons, but now when I'm launching the game it shows notice that my mod requires "VSM_Multicam" while VSM including that pbo is in collection too.

[lordfrith 401]

well i think that should be

requiredAddons[]=
        {
            "VSM_Multicam_Config"
        };

 

its not the name of the PBO but the title given in cfgPatches that gets listed

 

but i just tried making a test config and i can't get the uniform working either! hmmm

I tried with "VSM_Multicam_Config" too, but the same result. I don't know, maybe it's something wrong with VSM, since I used uniforms from Project OPFOR and Foxfort Camo pack and there were no such issues. On the other hand VSM has its own units which use uniforms and they have it normally as an item.

this config seems to work, its based on yours, but i created a cfgweapons entry for the uniform using original VSM uniform as inheritance:

            mass=50;

this is far from ideal solution, possibly its because the cfgPatches in VSM has no list of units and weapons?

class VSM_Multicam_Config
    {
        units[]=
        {
            "VSM_Multicam_Mod"
        };
        weapons[]={//shouldn't the uniforms be here?};

 

like i say no expert so maybe that gets done elsewhere in VSM mod. it is a huge mod so possibly i just can't find it.

 

note! i removed ace items as i don't have that mod.

 

i've fickered around with the faction name as i'm not sure you can put spaces in classnames. I got an error and blank faction entry when testing till i changed it

 

it might be worth checking another mod that makes factions using VSM and see how they got it to work.

Yeah, your config seems to work, but I will look for other mods which use VSM uniforms to see how they done it because this solution would make my config a mess since I planned to use more VSM things.
