config help needed

[AceTalker 0]

I have this assault rifle called "imi-gali-sar" and i'd like to hand it to east soldier. It's fully done in o2 and now i need to get it to ingame. I don't have config file so i need to have one. So i'm asking: any tutorials or anything with i could have some basic understanding of weapons config. Any help will be appreciated.

i m new in config, but i guess u can unpbo the official addons in addon dir, like weapons.pbo then unbin those config.bin, i am using those as references. and there is so many unofficial addons in here also, it is easy to understand.

[Macser_old 0]

How ye doin Acetalker,Cristoll?

Don't be surprised if this topic gets moved to configs n scripting.

Anyway,I suggest you should look at an unofficial addon as Cristoll says,

rather than the BIS configs.Especially if you're new to the whole thing.

For the simple reason that you only need a small config.cpp,

if you're adding only one weapon.I'd be happy to help out,if you

haven't solved it yourself in the meantime.Writing a config for

a single weapon would be pretty quick.

Also check out this link:

http://ofp.info/brsseb/

For some well written tutorials on modelling

and how to config them.

Try Unpbo V1.3,not V1.5

Works for me.

I think it might be hard to find though.

I'll have a look around,see if I can find a link.

If ye can't locate it,I can E-mail it to ya.

It's only 380KB.

And from what Ive heard,it's more reliable than

most other Bin to cpp utilities.

Try this out,It's based on an AK47,but don't forget to rename the lines with "yourAddon" or "YourModelName":

Everything should be fine, but: when i try open ofp an error message will show up. it reads: " imi-galil-sar\config.cpp/Cfgmodels/:'-' encountered instead of '{' ". Any idea where the problem is? changed the "YourModelNameHere" parts and such.

wod:roflcopter

[Macser_old 0]

I don't think you can have those symbols "-" in your model name.

Try renaming it to ImiGalilSar,Without the "-".See what happens.

I'm talking about the actual p3d name.Ok?

And remember,you don't put the ".P3d" part in the cfgModels section.Just the name.

[AceTalker 0]

ok, now i can open ofp, but when i try to play w my unit, it says no entry: modelspecial. Any help?

check this line in the config:

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

weapons[]={"ImiGalilSar","Throw","Put"};

That's your weapon for the soldier.

[AceTalker 0]

changed that. but it says when ofp goes on: "no entry: config.cpp/Cfgweapons." and i can't use my unit

Ok Ace,I see the problems, and I've corrected them.

I know it works because I've already tried it with one

of my own models.

So just copy and paste again.Let me know what happens.

when i try to use my unit, it says: "cannot open object: igs/imigalilsar.p3d"

[Macser_old 0]

Did you rename your p3d file?

You have to rename the P3d as well as

the changes in the config.

trust me,I tried the config myself.

[AceTalker 0]

no.

should it be called: ImiGalilSar.p3d

AceTalker out.

wod: roflcopter

[Macser_old 0]

yes Ace.It should.

[AceTalker 0]

didn't help

AceTalker out.

wod:roflcopter

[Macser_old 0]

Ok,Ace.Don't get frustrated.It's probably somethin simple.

Check your config against the one above.Then rePBO the files

again.I'm using the exact same config right now in Ofp.

Which means I'm an East soldier called "soldier East Igs".

The weapon is called "Imi Galil Sar".

Here's the proof:

The only difference is,I'm just using one of my own models.

But otherwise everything works as it should.

You didn't say if you got any errors this time.

[AceTalker 0]

well, now i have everything ok only some little scaling down (jeez it's bigger than an airplane! )  and i need that muzzle flash not to be there all the time.

I don't know how to thank you.

       

AceTalker out.

wod:roflcopter

[Macser_old 0]

No problem,Happy to help.

Knew you'd get there eventually.

Check CfgModels to make sure you don't have

.p3d at the end of class ImiGalilSar.

It should look like this:

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

class ImiGalilSar:weapon{};

Not this:

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

class ImiGalilSar.p3d:weapon{};

Then check for any spelling mistakes.

It's usually something simple.

After that it's down to the model itself.

Oh,and one more thing,make sure that the muzzleflash

is named "zasleh",in all your "resolution" lods and in "view pilot" lod.

Any questions on the model,you should ask

about in O2 modelling.Good luck.

Hi

found my old topic so did'nt make a new one

So, I have a whole bunch of models (weapons, cars, buses, planes, etc). and now I wish for someone to write me some config(s). I'm gonna make a list for all models i wished to get in-game.

in the name reads more info and the side i want it on

* V-35 landspeeder (designed as a car, civilian)

* Shotgun (civilian)

* Farscar (Assault rifle, West soldier)<-- in this i need only to know where i put edited optics and how i make it in the config

* Blockade runner (designed as a chopper, civilian)

* Waterballoon (blue) (designed as a greanade East soldier)

* Waterballoon (green) (designed as a greanade West soldier)

Thanks for any kind of help
