Help required on a replacement config

[MontyVCB 0]

Hi there, I've bitten the bullet and decided to have a go at writing my own replacement config for ArmA, Replacing the QG mercs with the MGS4 style mercs. Simple enough or so I've been told. But I seem to get an error when I start up ArmA with this file.

Quote[/b] ]file mgs4pmcs_replacements\config.cpp, line 25: /Cfgvehicles.soldierMG: Undefined base class 'soldierWB'

I have very little idea on what I'm doing here so I'll post the config up here, any help would be wonderful.

Change:

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

{

class CAManBase;

To:

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

{

class CAManBase;

class SoldierWB;

That way, you're defining SoldierWB. As the config stands now, its looking to inherit from SoldierWB for each of the classes, and being unable to find the SoldierWB define. Adding it as above, tells the game to look else where for the define.

yep, just declare all units you inherit properties from, just like you did with CAManBase, it woud look like:

(...)

class CfgVehicles

{

class CAManBase;

class SoldierWB;

//and then the units

Same here  

lately, i have set up a replacement config for a clan, including the infantry.

I have uploaded the main parts to pastebin

You may notice that soldierWB is derived from CAManBase. Some are derived from other classes, but the code should cover most of the infantry classes. You only need to include the items that differ from the BI standard class.

Weapon replacements may get a bit tricky. I use to replace the standard weapons with their comunity counterparts. E.g.:

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

class Mode_SemiAuto; //Extended

class Mode_Burst; //Extended

class Mode_FullAuto; //Extended

class CfgWeapons

{

class GrenadeLauncher;

class Rifle;

class M4: Rifle {

model = "theOtherModel";

};

You may find the needed info about the weapon class inheritance in custom soundmods, because they need the correct classes to replace the sounds of the weapons.

p.s.: Woops... two more posts while writing this post
