Groups & gmr_explomodv143

[jaenak 0]

The first one I'll touch on is the gmr_explomodv143.  The whole thing is pretty easy to understand and I'm itching to install it but step #1 is the olny thing I can't make heads or tails out of.  Can anybody help me on this one?

Quote[/b] ]1) Unzip and copy GMR_exploMOD folder to your Operationflashpoint directory. Choose form bin_versions forder one config.bin

  and copy to GMR_exploMOD/bin directory.

What the heck is that saying?

And the second question I have is on making groups.  I'm working on patching together an addon for personal use and am getting confused on sides.  A tutorial I downloaded has helped me write out (for an example)<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgGroups{};

{

class West

{

name="West";

class Infantry

{

name="Infantry";

class Ranger_Recon

{

name="Ranger Recon Squad";

class Unit0

{

name="1";

side=1;

vehicle="US_Silenced";

rank="Major";

position[]={0,0,0};

};

class Unit1

{

name="2";

side=1;

vehicle="US_Silenced";

rank="Captain";

position[]={5,0,0};

};

class Unit2

{

name="2"

side=1;

vehicle="US_Silenced";

rank="Lieutnant";

position[]={-5,0,0};

};

};

                         };

           };

};

That should work for west.  My question is, to make one for east, I change the "West" at the top of the code to "East" but do I change the "side="1"" to "side="2"" as well?  And is there a side for resistance?  Would that be side="3" then?

I would think side 3 is resistance maybe ?

I would try side1 = west and side 2 = east.

This is all a (semi) educated guess. Best thing to do when your not sure is to play around with it. Thats what I do.

It takes a long time so your girl friend or your parents think your ignoring them over a dumb game

( although we know this is the greatest thing since sex was invented and they don't know what there missing out on )

Well, just unzip the zip file, put the folder into your ofp dir and then choose one of the several config.bin that are inside the bin_versions folder and copy it to the GMR_exploMOD/bin folder. There are different versions of this mod that allow you to use gmr mod as a standalone, and in combination with inqs weapon pack or other mods.

Dude!  Thanks!  That thing looks awesome!  I never would have thought that first step said that.  I owe you one.  I don't want to sound completely helpless    but I've got one last question.  The ReadMe says it supports the OFPEC Blood addon.  I had already downloaded that addon prior to finding this one.  I would like to incorporate the two like the ReadMe said is possible, but I can't figure out how.  I took the editable config.cpp file the explosion mod included and inserted the correct lines from the OFPEC_Blood addon's ReadMe file into the cpp file and even placed a copy of the pbo file into the addon folder in the GMR_exploMOD folder but it doesn't want to work.  Does anyone know how to merge these two awesome mods together?  The GMR_exploMOD's ReadMe says its possible but I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks In Advance

Edit: WTF!? I missed a section. The sections I inserted into the config.cpp file isn't complete. I have to specify some settings. *he puts on his thinking cap and begins puffing on his bubble pipe*

Okay I did my stuff and tries to work but it gives me an error message instead of a game screen .  I added:

Quote[/b] ]

class Man: Land

{

After the line above:

                         class EventHandlers

                         {

                                     init="[] exec ""\OFPEC_Blood\blood_init.sqs""";

                                     hit="_this exec ""\OFPEC_Blood\blood_squirt.sqs""";

                         };

And also:

            class PreloadAddons

            {

After the line above:

                         class OFPEC_Blood

                         {

                                     list[]={"OFPEC_Blood"};

                         };

Where the "[]" in the init=[] exec ""\OFPEC_Blood\blood_init.sqs"""; line was:

Code Sample[/b] </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[[25,7,9,-5,3,0.06,0.03,0.75,40,true,2,[0.3,0,0,1],false],[-1,["ASM_Bldsplat","ASM_Bldchnk","ASM_Bldchnk2","ASM_Bldchnk3"],[0.1,0.3,0.3,0.3],200,false],[false,[["ASM_Bldchnk3","ASM_Bldchnk2","ASM_Bldchnk"],["ASM_Bldchnk3","ASM_Bldchnk2","ASM_Bldchnk"],["ASM_Bldsplat"]],[0.4,0.7,1],[[0.5,6],[0.5,3],[0.5,3]],60,[[0,0],[0,0.05],[0.05,0.1]],false]]

 Oof!  That's the settings that I'm supposed to pass to the blood_init.sqs script in the OFPEC_Blood.pbo file.  The error message that it gives me is<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Quote ]'config.cpp/CfgVehicles/Man.init': 'A' encountered instead of ':'  What am I doing wrong?

Edit: DOH!!

Right when I believe I've done the most rediculous mistake and have proven myself to look like the world's biggest idiot, I out-do myself!! The settings are in the script files in the pbo file. The stuff I was to add to the config.cpp file was:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class Man: Land

{

After the above line:

class EventHandlers

{

init="[] exec ""\OFPEC_Blood\blood_init.sqs""";

hit="_this exec ""\OFPEC_Blood\blood_squirt.sqs""";

};

And also:

class PreloadAddons

{

After the line above:

class OFPEC_Blood

{

list[]={"OFPEC_Blood"};

};

If this stuff is added in the places defined in the ReadMe file, it works. If I want to alter the settings, I need to alter the script files in the pbo file. But I'm definately not doing that tonight!

Okay now that I've completely humiliated myself and added a whole bunch of unnessicary stuff to this forum, I can finally say that all my problems here are finished. Thanks everybody!
