Gwa · July 5, 2009

Hello,everyone i learn make use of oxygen and buldozer.i make a soldier.but i don't know about how to create config file,which is last stage,i read and see many but it did't work.help me.

A template-like, in this example it is adding 3 soldiers that are on the west side (side=1) , so you see how it is done and by testing around you will understand how to add more soldiers.

Read carefully, and compare with some other soldiers config.cpp to understand more :

// some basic defines
#define TEast 0
#define TWest 1
#define TGuerrila 2
#define TCivilian 3
#define TSideUnknown 4
#define TEnemy 5
#define TFriendly 6
#define TLogic 7

#define true 1
#define false 0

// type scope
#define private 0
#define protected 1
#define public 2

#define WeaponNoSlot				0// dummy weapons
#define WeaponSlotPrimary		1// primary weapons
#define WeaponSlotSecondary	16// secondary weapons
#define WeaponSlotItem			256// items
#define WeaponSlotBinocular	4096// binocular
#define WeaponHardMounted		65536

I trying to understand

sanctuary · March 27, 2003

Oops, i typed an error in the template , i typed "class class" at the CfgModel section, i edited it.

Another example so you can compare with the template :

I have 3 models :

Mysoldier1.p3d

Mysoldier2.p3d

Mysoldier3.p3d

I put them into a file named : mytroopers.PBO

I want them on the East side (side=0) and instead of a BIS M16 , i give them a BIS AK74 and 4 AK74 ammo.

Here is what the config.cpp would then look like :

// some basic defines
#define TEast 0
#define TWest 1
#define TGuerrila 2
#define TCivilian 3
#define TSideUnknown 4
#define TEnemy 5
#define TFriendly 6
#define TLogic 7

#define true 1
#define false 0

// type scope
#define private 0
#define protected 1
#define public 2

#define WeaponNoSlot				0// dummy weapons
#define WeaponSlotPrimary		1// primary weapons
#define WeaponSlotSecondary	16// secondary weapons
#define WeaponSlotItem			256// items
#define WeaponSlotBinocular	4096// binocular
#define WeaponHardMounted		65536

I found in some addons there is only config file like soldier.sanctuary do you have an idea.

sanctuary · March 27, 2003

You can put a config.cpp alone in a single PBO, it does not need to be in the same PBO as the models and textures.

Look into the config you found alone in a PBO , and search the line :

model=....

It will tell you were the models are located :

model="\NAME OF THE PBO THAT CONTAIN THE MODEL\NAME OF THE MODEL.p3d";

tiket · March 10, 2009

Ok i try to do it.it is also necassary that mention pbo is also in addon folder.

i want to make a config file.my made soldier name is rambo1(i want that he have G36),but now i did't know to work in config file.please help.what is config file of it should be.

sanctuary · March 27, 2003

For the BRDM question that you sent me a PM with, i put the reply there instead as it could be helpfull for everyone wanting to customise some vehicle armor.

To modify the BRDM armor :

-Make a backup of the Brmd.pbo (locate in the ...\Res\Addons\ )

-Get and install

BINVIEW

-Get CPP2BIN

-Open and extract the Brmd.pbo with any PBO opening utility, you will obtain a Brmd folder containing everything the Brmd.pbo has.

Put that folder in your desktop by example (just do not leave it inside the \Res\Addons\ folder )

-in the Brmd folder you will find a config.bin file, double click on it.

It will open with Binview automatically, click on File and Save on the binview window , click Ok and then Ok , it will save the config.bin into a config.cpp.

You can now close binview.

-Delete the config.bin from the Brmd folder and open the config.cpp with any text editor.

The armor value for a wheeled class of vehicle like the BRDM is defined by those :

armor=80;
armorGlass=0.5;
armorWheels=0.15;
armorBody=0.4;
armorFuel=1.4;
armorLights=0.4;

there is another value not in this BRDM config, but it is inherited from a parent class, and so if you want to modify it too, add it in the config

armorStructural=1.0;

Now to understand what those things are, give a look to the CAVS page and especially this part :

About : you have different parts on an OFP tank, described in the hitHull, hitEngine, etc... part of the config.cpp. Each has its own "hitpoints". The tank also has a global "health point" value, set in the "armor" parameter in the config. Each localized hitPoints are calculated from the global armor, by multiplying it by the number found in the hitHull section under armorHull, armorEngine, etc...500 armor, 0.7 armorEngine means the "engine" selection in the hit LOD of the P3D model will have 500*0.7=250 hitpoints.
When hit, a tank will give damage to every part hit. If hit for 300 in Hull and Engine, hitHull and hitEngine will be reduced by 300 each. In addition, the global armor will be decreased by the sum of damages done to localized parts, divided by the armorStructural parameter. In my example,300 + 300 = 600, divided by 2 armorStructural = 300 hit to global armor

Note when making your modifcations that a default BIS RPG or a BIS LAW is making 500 damage by hit.

-Once you have done your modifications transform the config.cpp you have modified into a config.bin by using CPP2BIN

-Then using a PBO packing utility transform the folder Brmd into a Brmd.pbo

-DO NOT REPLACE the original Brmd.pbo in the ..\Res\Addons\ folder, but either put it into a WHATEVERMOD\Addons\ folder or create your own mod folder to use it.

Launch OFP with your shortcut modified to point to the mod folder featuring your new modified Brmd.pbo and test to see if your modification fits your needs.

Put the folowing in the config:

weapons[]={"Bizon","GlockS","Throw","Put"}; magazines[]={"BizonMag","BizonMag","BizonMag","BizonMag","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","GlockSMag","GlockSMag","GlockSMag","GlockSMag"};

That will give him Bizon,four Bizon Magazines,Silenced Glock,5 Silenced Glock Magazines and two hand Grenades

What you have changed.Post the modified config.

tiket · March 10, 2009

@sanctuary

if u read it make a response,i tried ur advice,but still 1 law get rid of that brdm.help man?

sanctuary · March 27, 2003

What advice have you "tried" ?

If it is about the armor value from previous post, you have not tried hard enough, increase those until you see the LAW not destroying your brdm in 1 shot.

tiket · March 10, 2009

you mean that increase that armor structure value more than 1.

sanctuary · March 27, 2003

This i told you already previously :

armor=80;

armorGlass=0.5;

armorWheels=0.15;

armorBody=0.4;

armorFuel=1.4;

armorLights=0.4;

armorStructural=1.0;

and

About : you have different parts on an OFP tank, described in the hitHull, hitEngine, etc... part of the config.cpp. Each has its own "hitpoints". The tank also has a global "health point" value, set in the "armor" parameter in the config. Each localized hitPoints are calculated from the global armor, by multiplying it by the number found in the hitHull section under armorHull, armorEngine, etc...500 armor, 0.7 armorEngine means the "engine" selection in the hit LOD of the P3D model will have 500*0.7=250 hitpoints.
When hit, a tank will give damage to every part hit. If hit for 300 in Hull and Engine, hitHull and hitEngine will be reduced by 300 each. In addition, the global armor will be decreased by the sum of damages done to localized parts, divided by the armorStructural parameter. In my example,300 + 300 = 600, divided by 2 armorStructural = 300 hit to global armor

Increase values, experiment around it considering that a LAW/RPG does 500 damage in direct hit and 150 damage in indirect hit.

Your BRDM has 80 * 1.0 = 80 hit points, that's why a LAW/RPG destroy it in 1 hit.

riffleman · July 21, 2009

I find in a addon that east side units speaking west type english and face looking like west soldiers like james pound etc.what i have to alter in config file.
