RHS MICH Components

[Arondight912 1]

Hello, not sure if this belongs in here or in the modelling section, and I wasn't able to find out through searching nor trial and error.

 

Trying my hand at a reskin of one of the MICH Helmets from the RHS USF mod.

I've got the texture file completed and ready to use, but when I try to do a texture check in game, through the setObjectTexture script, it still will not appear.

I've tried applying it to components 0 through roughly 12, but no change.

 

Can someone give me a break down of what the components of the helmet actually are?  Thank you

mind showing us "the script"?

You cannot retexture helmets via setObjectTexture, because you need to provide the object as argument to setObjectTexture, but you cannot get a reference to the helmet object.

You need a mod with a config retexture.

I have a mission folder for the purpose of testing the textures before I move further with putting together an addon. 

There are 2 textures in the root folder, one is a retexture of the mich helmet, the other is a retexture of the uh-60.

Note, I am only attempting to reskin the MICH helmet, only trying the UH-60 to see what works.

 

For the UH-60, I am using:

Quote

SetObjectTexture [0, "ss60_fuselage_co.paa"]

This one works. 

 

For the mich, I am using

Quote

this setObjectTexture [0, "bare_mich_tan_norotos_arc_co2.paa"];

 

I've also tried using different object versions of the helmet.  None of those work either.

 

This is what I have so far:

no you don't. the left argument for setObjectTexture is missing.

what is "this"? The helmet on the ground? in that case you retexturing the weapon holder, but a weapon holder doesn't have any textures. As I said you cannot retexture weapons (helmets, guns, items) using setObjectTexture, because you cannot get a reference to the object itself.

Okay, so I've moved a bit further, trying to compile an addon so I can test the texture out.

For reference, I am following this guide as much I can, considering I haven't done this before: 

 

When using BinPBO to attempt to compile the addon, I get a notification that there is an error in my config.cpp.  The content of the config is as follows:

 

enum {// = 2, // Error parsing: Empty enum nameDESTRUCTENGINE = 2,DESTRUCTDEFAULT = 6,DESTRUCTWRECK = 7,DESTRUCTTREE = 3,DESTRUCTTENT = 4,STABILIZEDINAXISX = 1,STABILIZEDINAXESXYZ = 4,STABILIZEDINAXISY = 2,STABILIZEDINAXESBOTH = 3,DESTRUCTNO = 0,STABILIZEDINAXESNONE = 0,DESTRUCTMAN = 5,DESTRUCTBUILDING = 1,};
    
    class CfgPatches 
    {
        class DetOneMICH { 
            units[] = {};
            weapons[] = {};
            requiredVersion = 0.1;
            requiredAddons[] = {"DetOne_mich_bare_norotos_arc_tan"};
            };
    };
    
    class cfgWeapons 
    {
        class Item_rhsusf_mich_bare_norotos_arc_tan;
        class HeadgearItem;
        class DetOne_mich_bare_norotos_arc_tan: Item_rhsusf_mich_bare_norotos_arc_tan
        
        {scope = 2;weaponPoolAvailable = 1;
        
    displayName = "DetOne Coyote MICH Norotos ARC";
    picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_H_HelmetB_CA.paa";
    model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_ballistic";
    
    hiddenSelections[] = {
    {"camo"};hiddenSelectionsTextures[]    = {"DetOneMICH\Data\bare_mich_tan_norotos_arc_co2.paa"};
    class ItemInfo : HeadgearItem {
        mass = 100;
        uniformModel = "{DetOneMICH\Data\mich_bare_01_nor1_arc.p3d"};
        modelSides[] = {3, 1};
        armor = 3*0.5;
        passThrough = 0.8;
        hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
            };
        };
    
    };
 

 

Any ideas as far as what's not right in the config?

I also do not have a P: partition on my hard drive.  Is it absolutely necessary to create one?
