It doesnt work.

It says that ViewPilot in line 63 is an unrecognized class.

strange aim to replace AH1 by AH64 in the config.bin, because in multi i feel that's a cheat!!

why not change M113 by M1A1 or M16 by M249.....

I dont play online (if i played online, i would surely be kicked/banned almost instantly, my files are heavily modded). I am replacing the cobra because the army uses the Apache, not the cobra. I basically have my arma set up for afghanistan/iraq combat. I have replaced all vehicles so that they are in a great desert camo texture, replaced US troops with desert ACU camo, replaced sla with desert camo, got a sound mod installed, an effects mod installed, 2 desert maps installed, including a large Afghanistan map, a realistic tracer mod installed, and the apache replacement. I wouldnt "change m113 by m1a1 or m16 by m249" cause it would make no sense not to.

P.S. I am an extreme mission editor user, and play single missions sometimes.

No good    

It seems ArmA does not like ViewPilot.

I have been, i understand some of it, but not enough that i could take all effects and put em into the replace file (aside from copying all and that doesnt seem to work). Will try new config now.

Oh, and if you mean responding to the errors, i tried deleting the viewpilot section you did and it came with another error. If this config does the same ill be sure to post.

[Apache-Cobra 0]

No error this time, but it doesnt replace the cobra, the cobras name from the list just dissapears and the apache goes into the MAP: Air category as a second AH-64A (Multi Role). And when i click on it, it comes up with some error that it cant find a file. Ill try to move it into the default Air category and see what happens.

[Apache-Cobra 0]

Nope, no good, it says its missing a couple things in CfgVehicles\AH1W\Turrets

something like guncloud and maxturretspeed.

[.kju 3245]

sorry about that one. made an embarrassing mistake here.

i hope you don't mind doing the testing.

it should work this time ... i hope

http://mihd.net/23uqeg

(fixed the class hierarchy / it has the correct mother class now and added a few values of the MAP_Heli class)

I dont mind testing it as long as it eventually works . Ill try this one now.

[Apache-Cobra 0]

Same error as i just posted above about the other one- it says that AH1W\Turrets\ max horizontal speed and AH1W\Turrets\Mainbody is missing. Same exact messages.

[.kju 3245]

hm strange. can you go to your arma.rpt and get the exact messages from there please.

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/RPT

[Apache-Cobra 0]

Im not sure exactly what you mean, so i will just post the exact error messages. 1 moment.

EDIT

----

Error 1(received when in editor and single clicking on AH-64): <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/AH1W/Turrets/MainTurret.maxHorizontalRotSpeed.

Error 2(received after placing AH-64 on map and selecting preview): <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/AH1W/Turrets\MainTurret.body.

This should help you find out whats wrong..... right?

cheers. ill try to have a look at it tonight. otherwise i am out for a week.

in general the best thing is to do screenshots of problems and host them on image hosting sites like http://www.picfront.org/

(or even videos if thats helps in that situation: gamecam is a great tool here and http://www.veoh.com/ for hosting streamed videos)

--

the arma.rpt is a logfile with all problems listed which happened in the ArmA engine while it was running. see the BIKI link for the location

It isnt crashing, those exact errors just come up while trying to load the apache to the editor. After i click OK on the two errors, the game is still running and im still on the mission editor screen.

[.kju 3245]

well still the problems should be listed in the arma.rpt

why not just try the thing?

isnt it available in the list? otherwise do load ArmA without the

modifications, make a map with the cobra, load the mod and select

the mission. see what happens

sorry i wont make it tonight.

you could try to ask the people of mapfact over at their forum as an option.
