Post #12 has since been edited and corrected. you should be able to use that to get you started.

So far I personally have not had any issues doing it this way, It has always worked. But what your saying makes sense. as I said before I edited that post...It was done on a phone, so I should get some slack :P and was only trying to help..

Edit - Formatting Hi Mate, I had a read of your config and I must admit that I am a bit confused by it. IMO I feel that you are trying to do to much with the one file, I know that this possible to do, but it can make fault finding harder. my suggestion is to break it up, at least until you know everything is working. I am happy you help you set this up too. for example @Your mod\ Addons\ Your mod_uniforms Your mod_vests Your mod_units etc... How I normally do mine, is to define all the individual item classes, IE, uniforms, Vests, Headgear, Packs etc. Once I know each one is working, I then do my units and define the existing items in there. The other part that is confusing me is your unit selection. In some parts you seem to be using a mix of Opfor and Blufor in the one class, this could also lead config problems. I've put together some configs to help you get started off, and as I said before, more then happy to help. Either PM me or ask here.

Hey All, I'm having a go at this and I can't get the videos to play, there are no errors coming up, and all the splash images seem to be working Can anyone advise what the correct file extensions are? ie: MP4? @kaysio - As A test, I ran yours and had the same result. No video. Could this be something that was broken in the graphics update?

Hi All, Further to my first question I am trying to add the Virtual Arsenal to this in the cfgVehicles as an addAction. But so far I seem to be having no luck. My first attempt of: class EventHandlers { init = "null =[_this select 0] execVM ""\aef_vehicles\veh\VA.sqf"""; }; added after faction = "aef_vehicles"; worked when the mission was packed, but when the unit was placed using Zeus, it kicked the game master into the VA. My second attempt also received no errors when packing, but alas, No action has appeared class EventHandlers { init = "this addAction [Arsenal, {[Open,true] call BIS_fnc_arsenal}]"; }; Full config.cpp If anyone has a suggestion of what I can do to get this working it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Cool, The Garage seems to be working now. Thanks for the help reyhard

Hi All, I am working on my first vehicle config. So far I have got it to work in the editor with all the correct textures I have. But the things I am having trouble with are 1) Adding it to the Virtual Garage 2) Working with Zeus 3) Adding the player action to run Just wondering if anyone can see what I am doing wrong config.cpp //aef_vehicles_v2 class DefaultEventhandlers; class CfgPatches { class aef_packs_v2 { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Soft_F"}; author[] = {"Arcadia Productions"}; authorUrl = "http://aef-hq.com.au"; }; }; class CfgMods { class Mod_Base; //External Class Reference class AEF_Uniforms : Mod_Base { logo = "aef_headgear_v2\icon_va_aef_128.paa"; logoOver = "aef_headgear_v2\icon_va_aef_128_g.paa"; }; }; class cfgFactionClasses { class aef_vehicles { displayName = "[AEF] Vehicles"; author = "Arcadia Productions"; icon = "\aef_units\scripts\UI\ucp.paa"; priority = 9231; side = 1; }; } class CfgVehicleClasses { class AEF_units_vehicles { displayName = "Vehicles"; }; }; class cfgVehicles { class B_MRAP_01_F; class AEF_MRAP_MAS : B_MRAP_01_F { author = "Arcadia Productions"; dlc = "AEF_Uniforms"; _generalMacro = "AEF_MRAP_MAS"; scope = 2; vehicleClass = "AEF_units_vehicles"; scopeCurator = 2; scopeGarage = 2; picture = "\aef_vehicles\veh\Data\UI\icon_mrap_mas.paa"; displayName = "[AEF] MRAP, MAS"; hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo1","Camo2","riotpolice"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\aef_vehicles\veh\Data\complete\aef_mrap_mas_base.paa","\aef_vehicles\veh\Data\complete\aef_mrap_mas_add",""}; model = "\A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\MRAP_01_unarmed_F"; Icon = "\aef_vehicles\veh\Data\UI\icon_map_mrap_mas.paa"; crew = "aef_rifleman_amcu"; faction = "aef_vehicles"; class EventHandlers { init = "null =[_this select 0] execVM ""\aef_vehicles\veh\VA.sqf"""; }; }; }; VA.sqf ["Open",true] call BIS_fnc_arsenal;

It is defiantly interesting to have that explained. It makes some other things I had noticed in other works I had done make a bit more sense. I had noticed in other items, that although I could get the visuals to work, the item specs, i.e. weight, ballistic and explosive protection where not getting transferred across, but now that makes sense why. Thanks again for the help, I was pleasantly surprised to see a BI Dev respond so quickly, I was not expecting that :)

hey all, after some tweaking with jackal's suggestion everything seems to be working correctly. Thanks both of you for your input. Duck

Thanks for the reply, I have tried your suggestion (see LINK for my config.cpp) and there was progress with some of them and not so much with others. H_Booniehat_khk - Retexture is working, Vanilla is showing in VA with no model H_Beret_blk - Retexture is working, Vanilla is showing in VA with no model H_HelmetB - (Heli Pilot) Retexture and Vanilla working fine HelmetBase - (Cap) Retexture and Vanilla working fine H_MilCap_oucamo - Retexture is working, Vanilla is showing in VA. Blue, Grey and AAF have no model, Hex and MTP working correctly.

I just tried your suggestion. When I went to pack the file using the addon builder, I got the following error: Build failed. Result code=1 CfgConvert task failed. File E:\ etc... \config.cpp, line 54: /cfgWeapons/ AEF_ECH_Tac_Base.ItemInfo: Underfined base class 'ItemInfo' Config : some input after EndOfFile. Error reading config 'E:\ etc...\config.cp Class destroyed with lock count 1 Lines 53 - 55 hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"aef_headgear_v2\hat\Data\completed\aef_ech_tac_base.paa"}; model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_light"; When I converted back to my original, it will repack.

Hey All, So I am working on a config.cpp for a mod of mine, Just a retexture of the Vanilla items, and I have come across something odd. My new items are working fine, but some of them seem to be removing the originals from the VA. Either completely, or showing up in he list with no model on the unit (shadow still appears). I am not getting any errors show up either. Bellow is a sample that is messing with me, H_HelmetB is working fine, mine is showing, and so is the vanilla one, but the H_Beret_02 is where it is messing up. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would help me out a lot, cheers These are the other ones I am having trouble with: H_Booniehat_khk_hs H_PilotHelmetHeli_B H_Cap_red H_MilCap_gry class cfgWeapons { class ItemCore; class H_Beret_02: ItemCore { class ItemInfo; }; class H_HelmetB: ItemCore { class ItemInfo; }; class AEF_ECH_Tac_Base : H_HelmetB { author = "(AEF)Duck"; _generalMacro = "AEF_ECH_Tac_Base"; scope = 2; picture = "\A3\Characters_F\data\ui\icon_H_HelmetB_light_black_ca.paa"; displayName = "[AEF] ECH Lite, Tac"; hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"aef_headgear_v2\hat\Data\completed\aef_ech_tac_base.paa"}; model = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_light"; descriptionShort = "Armour Level I"; class ItemInfo : ItemInfo { uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\headgear_b_helmet_light"; mass = 30; class HitpointsProtectionInfo { class Head { HitpointName = "HitHead"; armor = 6; PassThrough = 0.5; }; }; }; }; class AEF_beret_members : H_Beret_02 { author = "(AEF)Duck"; _generalMacro = "AEF_beret_member"; scope = 2; picture = "\aef_headgear_v2\hat\Data\UI\icon_beret_m.paa"; displayName = "[AEF] Beret, Member"; hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"aef_headgear_v2\hat\Data\completed\aef_beret_member.paa"}; model = "\A3\Characters_F_EPB\BLUFOR\headgear_beret02"; descriptionShort = "No Armour"; class ItemInfo : ItemInfo { uniformModel = "\A3\Characters_F_EPB\BLUFOR\headgear_beret02"; mass = 6; class HitpointsProtectionInfo { class Head { HitpointName = "HitHead"; armor = 0; PassThrough = 0.0; }; }; }; }; };

Hi, Love the mod, very usefull with making missions 'on the fly' I have noticed one thing though with the Virtual Arsenal. When you place a full one it appears to be missing the Face, Voice and Patches Tab. We found we were having the same issues when we were making script based missions. When we placed and item in the editor with the command: ["Open",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal; We would get the VA in game but it would be missing the last three tabs. Allthought, if we placed and item with the command: this addaction ["<t color='#dc143c'>Open Virtual Arsenal</t>","arsenal.sqf"]; this allowDamage false; then in the mission folder, created an a file arsenal.sqf and added the code: ["Open",true] call BIS_fnc_arsenal; We would then get the full VA, as seen in the learn section of the main menu. Not sure why it is working this way, but it may help you if you wish to change yours over to the full one. Cheers, Duck

hey guys, I am trying to get that script to work with the other custom stuff I have done to a weapon. Can anyone see what I have done wrong? The item is showing in the VA with no errors, but the attacments are not coming up. I am trying to add a scope, flashlight, bipod and suppressor class AEF_weapon_mx_sw_bk: arifle_MX_SW_F { scope = 2; author = "Duck"; baseWeapon = "AEF_weapon_mx_sw_bk"; displayName = "(AEF) MX SW Custom"; hiddenSelections[] = {"camo1"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"aef_weapons\arms\Data\aef_mxsw_blk.paa"}; picture = "\A3\Weapons_F_EPB\Rifles\MX_Black\Data\UI\gear_mx_lmg_black_X_CA.paa"; //compatibleitems[] = {"aef_arco_scope_F"}; }; class LinkedItems { class LinkedItemsOptic { slot = "CowsSlot"; item = "optic_Hamr"; }; class LinkedItemAcc { slot = "PointerSlot"; item = "acc_flashlight"; }; }; };

Is this still a supported mod?
