[Grimfist 0]

hi - first post here at the BI forums.

firstly - I HAVE NOT HAD PERMISSION TO DO THIS - i just want to learn - i will not realease this.

I want to get in to add-on making, and the first task i want to take on is a replacement.

i want to change the SLA especas to these:

now i have un pbo 'ed rellikis desert especas replacement:

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

class REL_DSSLA_Especas_Replacement {

units = {};

weapons = {};

requiredVersion = 1.040000;

requiredAddons = {"CACharacters", "REL_DSSLA"};

};

};

class CfgVehicles {

/*extern*/ class CAManBase;

/*extern*/ class SoldierEB;

class SoldierESaboteur: SoldierEB {

model = "\REL_DSSLA\REL_DSSLA_esp";

class Wounds {

tex = {};

mat = {"REL_DSSLA\hhl_bare.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_bare_wound1.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_bare_wound2.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_helmet.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_helmet_wound1.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_helmet_wound2.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_cap.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_cap_wound1.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_cap_wound2.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_boonie.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_boonie_wound1.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_boonie_wound2.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_crew.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_crew_wound1.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\hhl_crew_wound2.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\body.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\body_wound1.rvmat", "REL_DSSLA\body_wound2.rvmat"};

};

};

class SoldierESaboteurPipe: SoldierESaboteur {

model = "\REL_DSSLA\REL_DSSLA_esp";

};

class SoldierESaboteurMarksman: SoldierESaboteurPipe {

model = "\REL_DSSLA\REL_DSSLA_sptr";

};

class SoldierESaboteurBizon: SoldierESaboteurPipe {

model = "\REL_DSSLA\REL_DSSLA_esp";

};

};

but now i am stuck - the units i want to change them to are as follows:

INPU_4 - marksman

INPU_7 - especas

INPU_5 - sabater

thanks in advance for your help

thankz,

dont worry about copyright etc

as long as you dont modify a model pbo, people cant say anything.

you just make a new pbo with a config file that assigns different

skins to unit classes.

anyway unpack with cpbo your new pbo.

look for config.cpp

convert from bin to cpp with unRap - in case of config.bin

look for the desired models and their path

replace the models path in the given example,

as well as the cfgpatches class in requiredaddons
