Writing a config for a basic box

[Burt 0]

Ok so I have been playing around with O2, and I have made a box. I also made a really basic texture for it. I was wondering how I can get this into Arma. I have 0 config skills. I asume that it would be pretty basic since I just want it to be an object and sit there, but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Best way to learn is by looking at working configs.

1) download http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1049

2) get cpbo here: http://www.kegetys.net/arma/

3) unpack pbo

4) open config with text editor (like notepad++)

5) learn

A better idea might be to download and study this tutorial:

http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depo....me=ArmA

It explains quite clearly how to create, texture and configure

a simple box object to get it into the game.

Here is a simple untested config for a basic static object

Replace

<addon class> with your class you would like to use IE armat_box

<pbo name> with the name of the folder that contains all of your work IE armat_box

<p3d name> with the name of the model that you are working on IE armat_box.p3d

<editor name> with the name you would like your mod to show in the editor IE "Im a custom box"

once all this is done just pbo it with binpbo and then load arma and launch the editor and your find your mod under "Empty-->Objects--><editor name>"

Thats it enjoy

I figured I'd add in my two cents as well, as I've tested this one and it works. As in armatechs post, modify the names to match your addon.

class CfgPatches

{

class MyCrate

{

units[] = {};

weapons[] = {};

requiredVersion = 0.10;

requiredAddons[] = {};

};

};

class CfgVehicleClasses

{

class MyObjects

{

displayName = "My Objects";

};

};

class CfgVehicles

{

class nonstrategic;

class MyCrate: nonstrategic

{

model="\MyCrate\Crate";

vehicleclass="MyObjects";

armor=15000;

scope=2;

displayname="My Crate Addon";

};

};

Good luck.
