Satchel (PipeBomb) config basics

[Dragonian 0]

Hello,

I've been scripting since OFP was released and carried on to ArmA but I have never done anything with addons and configs so I decided to fiddle with some basic things to get the hang of it.

I'm just trying to add a new muzzle (PipeBomb2Muzzle) for my new satchel charge (PipeBomb2) with some minor damage alterations.

I unpacked the config.bin from weapons.pbo with cpbo and unRap. Then I searched all the things I thought I needed to make this work and compiled them into a new config.cpp file which I packed with cpbo to PipeBomb2.pbo. I threw this into the ArmA AddOns folder.

The problem is that I can't get it to work ingame. It just gives me an error saying no entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgMagazines/PipeBomb2'. when I try to add the magazine to a unit via unit addmagazine "PipeBomb2" like the class does not exist at all.

I also tried first compiling the config.cpp into a config.bin but that didn't seem to work either.

Here's the contents of the config.cpp:

midRange = 3;

midRangeProbab = 0.9;

maxRange = 15;

maxRangeProbab = 0.04;

};

class PipeBomb2Muzzle : PutMuzzle {

displayName = $STR_DN_PIPE_BOMB;

magazines[] = {"PipeBomb2"};

enableAttack = true;

};

class TimeBombMuzzle : PutMuzzle {

displayName = $STR_DN_TIME_BOMB;

magazines[] = {"TimeBomb"};

enableAttack = true;

};

class PipeBombMuzzle : PutMuzzle {

displayName = $STR_DN_PIPE_BOMB;

magazines[] = {"PipeBomb"};

enableAttack = true;

};

class MineMuzzle : PutMuzzle {

displayName = $STR_DN_MINE;

magazines[] = {"Mine"};

};

class MineEMuzzle : PutMuzzle {

displayName = $STR_DN_MINE;

magazines[] = {"MineE"};

};

};

};

Does anybody have any ideas what I'm doing wrong. Does my config.cpp lack information or did I pack the file wrong or what could be the problem?

Ofcourse I found the solution just after I posted this thread

I just had to add this into the config.cpp after the definitions:

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

class CfgPatches

{

class PipeBomb2

{

units[] = {};

weapons[] = {};

requiredVersion = 1.00;

requiredAddons[] = {};

};

};
