Custom CONFIG

[Rg 0]

Hi,

I need some help with making a config. I thought I understood enough to make my own, but I have hit a brick wall. All I want to do is modify current config data, not create something new. For instance, I want to adjust and fix many FOV values from vehicles (cars and people) to weapons. I successfully did all this the long way by extracting various PBO’s and repacking them after modifying the config’s, but obviously this is not an option for making a small sized addon to download.

I made 2 small SIMPLE test addons that I hope someone can quickly look at and tell me whats wrong.

For the purpose of this test, all I did was change the “class ViewPilot {initFov}†to “.42†under “class CAManBase†instead of the default “.95†(INGAME you would automatically be zoomed in and not be able to zoom anymore, *just for this test purpose)

If I extract “characters.pboâ€, change that value, repack the pbo, and run that pbo from a mod folder, it works fine, but when trying to make a config addon, I fail.

Here are the test files to download (test1 & test2 addon folders with pbos and also the separate configs). Test1 has a lot of class references included, whereas Test2 has more “External class referencesâ€.

Also below is a snipet from “test2â€. I cut a little bit out, but still, I would think even this much would work. (NOTE - the dashes are not in the config, I just added them to line everything up like you would see in the config.)
