RabidStoat 39 Posted June 1, 2021 Hi guys, Building myself a custom faction. Used to use Alive to create the configs, however the way they set loadouts makes it awkward to do minor edits to units for missions. So I set about translating and Alive config into a Vanilla config. The learning curve was steep; I've now read the encoding guide and inheritance guide 'til I'm cross-eyed. My Faction now shows in Eden. The vehicles have all inherited and show up with the correct crews; editor categories are working; identities function properly.... Quote missing "\cfgWeapons." Bugger. I'm trying to create custom classes based on the MX family. I have cfgWeapons.hpp set up and listed directly below cfgPatches in the config.cpp. I've inherited from the vanilla base class and defined what I want in linkedItemsMuzzle/Optics/Acc. No luck. This has also caused the backpacks defined in cfgVehicles to disappear. Could anyone shed some light on what I've screwed up please? The one guy I'd succeeded in wheedling into error-checking for me couldn't see why it wasn't working so I've now run head first into a wall on this. I'm quite happy to share a link to my WIP folder if anyone would be generous enough to take a peek? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chances are you have a errant . somewhere instead of a , or a ; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RabidStoat 39 Posted June 2, 2021 My work folder can be found here; as I have the config broken up by section it'd be one hell of a long post to include it all. I've searched the cfgWeapons for . with zero results. I do wonder if the fact that I've got the config separated out is what's causing the issue, but I've never seen it cause a problem before.

RabidStoat 39 Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) I'll give it a shot, thanks --UPDATE-- The units now spawn in holding their 2ry weapon. I've solved the backpack issue that I forgot to mention, but I still get the same error. The units DO load with the base class that the rifles should be inheriting from though. Should I be listing the new weapons that I am creating in the classes section of cfgVehicles maybe? Edited June 5, 2021 by RabidStoat update Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RabidStoat 39 Posted June 7, 2021 I screwed something up, didn't need the baseweapon section after all. Units now back to just holding the inherited weapon. This is maddening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is maddening. If you don't mind doing so, perhaps its worth posting your config for us to check out. At present it is just guess work, at least if we see the code first-hand we can at least get a better picture of what is going on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RabidStoat 39 Posted June 14, 2021 Many thanks. I'm almost at the point of giving in and using vanilla setups, I can't get it to work no matter what I do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
