Shootin' from Chest!!!

[Chip360 0]

Ok, so I ran the beta with my addons (things like the dessert camo units, and replacement ACU's and such), and like 80% of the weapons fire out of my chest... Is this because they are just not supported with the 1.07 patch? If so, will they work when the 1.08 Patch is released? And finally... If no to both of those... what is a modder supposed to do when a new patch is released? This seems a bit annoying if they will have to update everytime.. I have over 100 Addons, and so it would be pretty annoying to me also, or any of the addon whoars out there, so does anyone else notice this problem or is it just me?

Edit: Ps- I searched several times through the forum but was unsuccesful in locating the answers Im lookin for..

i m sorry, i don't know the answer (i think its caused by those addons, but i don't know what exactly is the problem), but this problem has been discussed already - try searching some more.

Could u be so polite as to link me to the thread? I just searched the past 10 minutes and i have a massive migrain.. :\

sorry, no time to do all your work ;-)

Try isolating the addon which causes this.

...I have over 100 Addons...

That pretty much says it all, and if u dont know where it is, can someone who knows the answers to the probs just say them??

which can take maximum of around 15 starts of ArmA to isolate the problematic addon - thats not so bad.

Anyway, i have searched the forums for you (and i did that for the last time, so from now on don't be so lazy), try removing MapFact misc addon.

That kind of attitude isn't really helpful for this community,we have stated blantatly that we will help people when in need, even if its a search.

Sometimes people miss topics or use the wrong words to search, don't be rude and tell them they are too lazy and not post anything, that is not helping in any way and it gives the community a bad reputation.

You may have the Austin Powers addon installed, that addon will shoot bullets from your boobies. That'll be it 4 sure...LMAO

Lol, thats gr8

And as for those screenshots...

and

Oh, and PS to mr. Grumpy gills, I tried removing the Mapfact Misc (which subsequently knocks out my Mapfact Air adons) and I still have the problem, as u can see above..

Oh and a little Info about the kit, Here im using the 1st Airborne division (made by the creator of the 1st Infantry Division) and Im in the Standard rifleman kit.. Btw, as u can see, I am firing in burst fire.

I'm preaty sure it was one of vilas Addons

that caused the Chest shooting for me.

So if you have any of his Addons try removing those.

Sort the /addons folder by date and remove all of the new ones and then put back only what you need....

well... removing the Villas Addons didnt work for me...

I have a feeling that it has to do with every single addon in their accept a few of the newer ones.. Wasnt pne of the weapon config paths or something changed in 107? I think that what might be it, and if so... well... Im screwed

Move all ur addons to a temporary folder, except the original BIS ones.

Then put 10 addons back and start game, if you have the same problem, it's probably related to one of those 10 addons so you can weed them out...

If you didn't get the problem again try 10 other addons and so on and so on.

Another possibility would be:

1. get cpbo by kegetys (www.kegetys.net)

2. run cpbo once and make sure it remains in the same folder/location

3. select all the custom addons, right click and choose extract

4. use windows search or get total commander: www.ghisler.com (search function in there is ALT+F7

5. search for files with type: *.cpp *.hpp *.h and tell it to look inside the files for:

rifle: mgun

rifle : mgun

rifle :mgun

If you find any of the above 3, you found your addon(s) that are causing the issues. Either remove the whole addon (get an updated version possibly) or replace manually: class rifle: mgun {}; with:

class Rifle;

(this method is not 100%, as some addon makers have binarized their configs and as such you won't find the search string in such addons)

my new addons are 1.07 compatible since few days after release of 1.07 !

they good function under 1.07 even with dual sights !

in other addon there can be

cfg weapons {

class rifle : mgun {};

this causes errors !

it can be at any addon, my new version do not have this class definitions !

it can be vehicle addon, it can be sound mod addon, it can be many other things made before 1.07 release date
