ARMA crashes

[Maceme 0]

Hello,

 I'm trying to make an armoured vehicle for ARMA. I have been working with the model this week, and I wanted to test it in game. The model is very simple, only the hull and the wheels, without textures. I made a simple config, without adding any selections for wheels... I tested the vehicle in game and I don't get any problem. I made the selections for wheels, land contact and memory LODs, added the skeletons and model.cgf to the config, and when I test the vehicle in ARMA (1.08 and 1.09B) it crashes when trying to play with it. I checked and changed the config, and modified, deleted the selections, LODs,... hundred of times, but it don't works. I think that the config is good, so must be the model. I don't want to expend lots of hours modelling if it won't work. ¿What can I do? The selections, land contact, memory and geometry LODs are the same I used for OFP, and the same that are in the BIHummer.

Thanks in advance.

This is the last config I tried:

did you change the proxies to the new ArmA correctly??

i have myself crashes like that with wrong proxy names.

But to be sure, try to put it in the mission editor as empty, if then doesn't crash then probably is proxy related problem.

BTW, it would be very helpful for us in order to understand better the cause of this crash, if you could post as your rpt file, (last run of ArmA with the crash)

Thanks for reply. The model don't have any proxies. I wanted to test the vehicle without it. I have tried it empty too but it crashes. The model is very simple still, only the hull and wheels. 1.000 LOD with the model and the selections for the wheels, Land Contact with the 4 points selected, Memory with the 8 points selected, and a very simple Geometry LOD with mass added and selection "Component01". The model don't have textures, only the blueprints that I delete when saving the .pbo, or proxies.

What is the rpt file?

[sparky 0]

hmm, i can't say much, it could be a missing selection name, it could be evrything, so the best thing to do is to give us a prt of your rpt.

you can find you rpt.

in your corresponding path just mine (for examnple)

C:\Documents and Settings\Sparky\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA

open the ArmA.rpt, and try to see where you have errors, also if you're confused, just send it over to mine email.

Great, the .rpt file is a good help. I forgot "isDiscrete = 1;" line of CfgSkeletons.

Now the model works perfectly in ARMA Beta 1.09, but only works empty in ARMA Beta 1.09 Queens Gambit   . This is the .rpt:

Finally I changed something in SkeletonBones, and add view pilot LOD to the model, and now is fully working.

If someone needs help making a working car addon, just tell me.
