ConFig Viewer Goose Chase?

[wombat50 3]

I would like to retexture a character, B_Officer_Parade_F. This character wears a dress uniform.
I look it up in the Config Viewer and find this info for B_Officer_Parade_F.
hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo","insignia"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\a3\characters_f\blufor\data\clothing1_co.paa"};

 

I unpack a3\characters_f.pbo then navigate to the texture, clothing1_co.paa.
It is not of a dress uniform but a combat uniform.
Obviously doing something wrong but I am completely stumped.

You want to retexture the uniform, not the unit.

uniformClass = "U_B_ParadeUniform_01_US_F";

Don't forget the cap:

linkedItems[] = {"H_ParadeDressCap_01_US_F",...

Thank you so much. 👍 I never would have figured that out.

I can't find "U_B_ParadeUniform_01_US_F" in characters_f.pbo or any of the other character.pbo's.

 

It is probably in Arma 3\AoW\Addons in the characters_f_aow.ebo

but I am having no luck unpacking it because it is an .ebo.

Oh jeez, I'm sorry. Yeah, Art of War is still encrypted.

No problem, I learn something new every day.

Thanks for your replies.

In the next "main branch" patch the AoW and Contact Platform EBOs are becoming PBOs, at least they've been converted in the RC Branch anyway.

Heya, I just discovered that there is indeed a template for the parade dress uniform in the A3 samples pack. It's free on Steam:

Thanks for this. I will definitely check in to it.

For my purposes I use SetObjectTexture. Below are the results which I'm satisfied with, not perfect or accurate but much better than no re-texture.

Vietnam Era Officer's Class A uniform. Not much luck with using SetObjectTexture for the Officer's cap but it is because I don't know enough about it.

It will work for me as is.
