Hi,

 

trying to retexture the opened parachute at the moment. How can I achieve this? Already played around with

(backpackContainer player) setObjectTexture [0,'#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,1)']

from user comments at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setObjectTexture but no luck yet.

 

hint str getObjectTextures (vehicle player)

returns "[]" which means it isn't retexturable at all according to https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setObjectTexture

Quote

Not all objects could be textured this way. To find out, run getObjectTextures command on an object. Empty array [] usually indicates it cannot be textured.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thx!

According to the configs of the parachutes you can find here http://tikka.ws/class/index.php?b=cfgVehicles&s=Backpack (e.g. -> http://tikka.ws/class/index.php?b=cfgVehicles&c=B_Parachute), there are no hiddenSelections for the parachute ( only for the bag containing it ).

The function "setObjectTexture" only allows you to retexture hiddenSelections, thus you cannot replace the texture of a parachute with this method.

even if it had, the open parachute does not exist till you open it. So it would not be possible to retex it this way I believe.

The only way I know is to make a mod and port the A2 parachute. That's what I did for my paraglider mod.

If I have some time this weekend I could prolly make the source available for a small retex parachute mod.

It's the Arma 2 Parachute, so it is licensed under the APL license.

It is a part of my paraglider addon. So if you use it please exchange my mod prefix sab_ with something else, like ffbf_ or something. Otherwise it would conflict with it.

Simply open all textfiles simultaneously with notepad++ and use find/replace. Same for the p3d file. There is a mass rename option under tools in object builder.

The p3d may be a little weird as it is the same my powered paraglider uses. That's why it got little wheels in geo lod, which are not necessary for a parachute
