Muzzleflash visible on ODOL weapons

[ag_smith 0]

Here's a riddle:

I made an addon with several weapons. It's almost finished so I tried to binarize it and...wham!... muzzleflash is visible all the time after binarizing. I have to mention that it is not visible if I test these weapons in MLOD format.

I have what I think is a proper cfgModels and it doesn't help at all:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgModels

{

class Default{};

class Weapon: default

{

sections[] = {"zasleh"};

};

class OFPL_SWD: weapon {};

class OFPL_SWDM: weapon {};

class OFPL_UKM: weapon {};

class OFPL_RPG7VE: Weapon {};

class OFPL_RPG7V: Weapon {};

class OFPL_CarlGustav: Weapon {};

class OFPL_CarlGustavSpent: Weapon {};

class OFPL_PM98:weapon {};

class OFPL_WIST94:weapon {};

};

Model names are respectively OFPL_SWD.p3d, OFPL_SWDM.p3d, etc.

Edit: Forgot to say, I have data folder extracted where binarize (and the addon) is and I don't get any reports about missing textures.

Anybody got any ideas how to get rid of this problem?

Problem partially solved. It apears that Binarize has problems with converting addons containing multiple models. You have to convert ONE model at a time.

This is CRAZY!!!

when it is working in MLOD you have defined the zasleh selection correctly, right?

strange.

Of course.

sorry to drag up an old thread, but im having the same problems, but also in the MLOD format... i'm making a static MG and the muzzle flash is always visible... i'm 100% sure my cfgmodels is correct and that the muzzle flasg is named correctly... any ideas?

bizzare...

In CfgModels, it's the _p3d_ name, not the CfgVehicles class name (unless they are the same).

It's called CfgModels for a reason, y'know

Also, you've overloaded the Vehicle and Weapon classes, which I don't think you wanted to do. Try this CfgModels instead:

class CfgModels

{

class Default{};

class vcb_pkup : class Default{};

{

sectionsInherit = "Vehicle";

};

class vcb_pkdown: vcb_pkup {};

};

ffs... something that obvious as always... i'm used to making seperate models for everything normally hence the confusion

cheers footie

[offtime 0]

1. i have proper cfgmodels

2. mlod version of addon works just fine

3. after binarizing muzzleflash is visible all the time

3. ive tryed Agent method but result is still the same

anyne had similar problem ?

[SelectThis 0]

make sure a copy of the cfgmodels is in the folder that you binarize.

STT

[offtime 0]

i have whole cpp in there, even gui pics of weapons and sounds,everything no matter if its needed or not, there is no errors while binarizing

im goin crazy with this

[SelectThis 0]

Bizarre Binarize!

I know you said the cfgmodels was correct but best to go over it with a fine tooth comb (even post it here). Check the p3d names match with the cfgmodel classnames even down to the Capitals and lowercase.

Once you run binarize what do you do with the files?

I usually take the binarized model out of the "opt" folder and put it back into a copy of the mlod folder, then pack that into a pbo.

STT

i found it

i was close to releasing those weapons as mlod's

but thanks to you ive made some more research

and in other topic i found this:

I remember that the uaz+mg from BAS is also MLOD, while all other models from BAS are usually ODOL.

Any help?

Yeah...

I f**ked up when packing the files for upload (I packed the dev pbo, and not the "release" pbo...) all new downloads of the Russian "OPFOR" pack have the models in ODOL :;):

As STT said, you will experience this muzzelflash bug if you binarize the models without a fully working config.cpp in the folder when binarizing.

wheres the clue ?

few days ago few of my beta testers were unable to run my addons (ofp to desktop crash) becouse "strange" cpp bug

strange was that it was working on my pc without any problems

what occured to be crittical bug ?

INCLUDE

i write configs in few files and merge them using include in cpp

i was using such form:

#include "\OFPL_weap90\762x39mm.h"

funny is that, it works well on Win98

but on XP crashes OFP

but if you skip one slash

#include "OFPL_weap90\762x39mm.h"

it will work on any windows

so, where im going with this

DeadMeat wrote that cpp must be without any errors

so i thought that maybe this damn include is f****** with me again

ive deleted everything from cpp besides cfgmodels

huray !

everything is ok now :-)

simple conclusion:

DONT USE "INCLUDE" IN CPP WHEN BINARIZING ADDONS !

thanks SelectThis, for trying to help me, your cool :-)
