Functions do work in test-mission but not when packed as addon

[Charles Barkley 1]

Hey guys!

I come across a mean issue where I am not able to use the function configuration that works for my addon-test mission in my packed addon.pbo.

 

Erros in .rpt on startup

 

15:20:01 Warning Message: Script camp\fn_buildCampsite.sqf not found

15:20:01 Warning Message: Script camp\fn_packCampsiteItem.sqf not found

15:20:01 Warning Message: Script init\fn_backpackInit.sqf not found

.pbo file structure

 

 

CfgFunctions.hpp 

 

class CfgFunctions{
    class ReconMod{
        class Camp{
            file = "camp";
            class buildCampsite {};
            class packCampsiteItem {};
        }
        class Init{
            file = "init";
            class init{preInit = 1;};
            class backpackInit {};
        }
        class Utils{
            file = "utils";
            class log{};
        }
    }
}

 

CfgPatches.hpp 

 

class CfgPatches {
    class ReconMod {
        author = "xetra11";
        name = "Recon Mod";
        version = "1.0";
        units[] = {};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 1.0;
        requiredAddons[] = {};
    };
};

 

config.cpp

#include <CfgFunctions.hpp>
#include <CfgVehicles.hpp>
#include <CfgPatches.hpp>

 

 

Did I miss a part where it says to have functions work in an addon I have to go another way of declaring functions?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Try adding reconmod in front of file = "camp"; , e.g. file = "reconmod\camp";

That was the problem!

But I did not fully grasped the reason?

Is prefix in \camp like the name of my .pbo file or what?

 

And if so? Do I need to kinda dynamically add it when packing an addon/pbo ? Because in my mission I cannot use this prefix - the path is invalid for it.

 

I saw ALiVE Mod using file paths like "x/addon/functioname.sqf" but I assume they replace the "x" with a proper value for either addon packing or testing in a mission, aye?

Probably it's best to take tour on the wiki, start with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/PBOPREFIX and remember $PBOPREFIX$.txt to assign arbitrary paths to your pbo namespace.

Thank you. I missed the PBOPREFIX part

Also consider getting an OFPEC tag https://www.ofpec.com/tags/ and prefix your addons with your nametag. E.g. ReconMod is kind of a universal name that others might want to use as well. Naming it ChBa_ReconMod makes it harder to conflict the namespace.

Aye Aye buddy!
