[Release] Vehicle Appearance Manager GUI

UNIT_normal · January 21, 2016

This script allows you to change camouflage and component via GUI.
VAM supports most of vanilla vehicles even mod vehicles.
You can apply custom textures by making exceptions.

Known issue
- Some components are linked each other. It's not VAM's limitation.
- Some components aren't compatible each other. It's not VAM's limitation.
- Some vehicles don't have default customizing value. Reset will not work in that case.

Installation
1. Put VAM_GUI folder on your mission folder.
2. Put stringtable.xml or copy & paste contents to your stringtable.xml.
3. Add this to init.sqf.
[] execVM "VAM_GUI\VAM_GUI_init.sqf";
4. Add this to description.ext.
#include "VAM_GUI\defines.hpp"
#include "VAM_GUI\VAM_GUI_controls.hpp"
#include "VAM_GUI\VAM_GUI_classes.hpp"

Option

- In VAM_GUI_init.sqf, you can enable multiple check systems. (Near repair vehicle, In certain marker area, Near KP Liberation FOB area)

It's my first GUI creation. It's not perfect but usable.

Does this need to be on only the host server or does everyone need to have this installed.

Just put it in your mission. It will work.

avibird 1 · October 9, 2008

Yes I know but if I do. Do other players need to have it installed only me.

It's not a mod. You should implement this script to your mission that you want to play with other players.

Run server with that mission, then everyone in your server could use this.

a mission is present on each player's client. if you put something in a mission then every player has it. no need to install anything

avibird 1 · October 9, 2008

Thank you but some things need to be installed in everyone's PC who's in the server with some mods. Good to hear that this does not need to be installed on everyone's

pierremgi · May 19, 2014

Good work!

mrcurry · July 8, 2009

Looks nice! My kind of UI, simple, sleek and responsive.

My only feedback would be to add a setting to ignore the requirement to be inside the vehicle.

I made alternative version. Please check.

It's a script, not a mod.

Mr. Rad · December 2, 2015

Great work, I've been looking forward to something like this. I have a small wish/request tho: Make an option to have VAM limited to vehicles in a certain trigger. That way you can have a customization station in a base.

There is check function to limit customization only around KP Liberation FOB.

If you understand how it works, you can change it for your preference.

(Tip : Changing global variable "VAM_conditioncheck1" between "true" and "false" are related with action condition.)

Currently I cannot do that myself because I have limited access to computer now.

If I can do, I will make more check option for it.

Sgt Smash · November 23, 2014

Hi i have a problem that the option on the scrollwheel to bring up menu ain't showing.

I'm not sure if it's because of the way i have added the XML string

Or if these need to be in a piticular place in the description

#include "VAM_GUI\defines.hpp"
#include "VAM_GUI\VAM_GUI_controls.hpp"
#include "VAM_GUI\VAM_GUI_classes.hpp"

These things are essential because these files contain every data about my GUI and #include command gets them in your mission.

Change

#include "RscDefines.hpp"
#include "ExAdClient\ExAd.cpp"
#include "KBC\wire\gui\dialog.hpp"

to

#include "RscDefines.hpp"
#include "ExAdClient\ExAd.cpp"
#include "KBC\wire\gui\dialog.hpp"
#include "VAM_GUI\VAM_GUI_controls.hpp"
#include "VAM_GUI\VAM_GUI_classes.hpp"

I think this is solution.

I believe RscDefines.hpp is same as defines.hpp.

Select everything between

and

in stringtable.xml.

And copy it and paste to your mission stringtable.xml.

Yes. You can paste it anywhere between your strings. Just don't break its form and your strings form.

In 1.30, now you can place marker area to make service area.

Great Jobs dude 😉

z80cpu · November 25, 2013

@UNIT_normal - I put in EXACTLY what you stated. It does not work. I download the 'ALT' version from the link you posted above in this post. This was also for a SP mission too.

The 'VAM' menu shows in the 'Action Menu', upon selecting it, I get a 'Resource VAM_GUI Not Found' error.

I just put your folder, Init.SQS, Description.Ext, and the StringTable.XML files into a EMPTY mission folder along with a 'one man' mission file, run it, then I get the above error.

I have included 2 screenshots of the error as well as my folder layout and file contents.

As a note and a question, what is with the 'mission.sqm' file? I noticed it is 'encoded' as well as I am sure it will confuse people as what to do with it. Personally, I ignored it and did not view nor copy it.

Thanks and I appreciate what appears DOES work...once installed properly...

I included mission.sqm because it is demo mission.

Please try demo mission and tell me about result.

If you can, upload your mission and send me through reply or message.

I think you have some missing files in VAM_GUI folder.

defines.hpp
VAM_GUI_controls.hpp
VAM_GUI_classes.hpp

If these files are missing, you will get error message that you got.

#include "VAM_GUI\defines.hpp"
#include "VAM_GUI\VAM_GUI_controls.hpp"
#include "VAM_GUI\VAM_GUI_classes.hpp"

How about write new description.ext and copy these lines?

It might be unicode error things.
