Config.cpp error

[Config.cpp error]

There is no occurrence of "NORFOR_Dingo_Base_F" in either of those configs that you posted. So it's unlikely that the error and the configs are related.

[No entry .model error]

Remove the lines referencing the 3CB model, as you do not have access to that:

 

eg

model = "UK3CB_BAF_Equipment\uniform\smock\uk3cb_smock_Base.p3d";

[Staticweapon config trouble (Dimensions in class <className> should be an array of size 2)]

Only a quick thought, may be nothing or unrelated, but check your inheritance defines on the Turrets

class Turrets : Turrets {
	class MainTurret : MainTurret {
		...
	};
};

 

[Adding flags to vehicles]

Thanks for the tip on placing the proxy in the last res LOD - don't think that would have been easy to find out!

 

What would be the best way of making a vehicle flag an option in the Eden VhC, rather than the player having to execute a script command?

 

Presumably the flag proxy can be given a named selection and placed into a hide AnimationSource. How would you set the texture on the flag in the config.cpp?

 

Edit: it seems to only animate in the res LOD's, and not pilot, cargo or gunner LOD's? Anyway around that?

[Updated All in One Config Dumps]

Expanding on point 5), in case anyone isn't sure about the exact method:

 

"Run the Script"

 

EDITOR 

Virtual Reality

Play Scenario (opens VR World with the Splendid Camera)

 

ESC key

In the Debug Console Execute window, paste:

[configFile] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "dumpConfig.sqf"

Click LOCAL EXE button

Wait for 20 seconds or more while the file is created

When the mouse receives focus back, 'Return to Eden Editor', then quit game.

 

The output file will be in the game root folder named "AiO.versionNumber.cpp".

 

Other config calls are available to produce output subsets. See the original post in Script <Hide Contents> for examples.

[3CB BAF Vehicles]

I've only done the Merlin with the folding rotors so far. You're right, Apache should have them too, but I can't honestly say it'll get onto the priority list, there are sooo many other things to work on! I needed to do the Merlin because the HM2 is quite a different air frame to the HC3/4.

I'll leave someone else in the team to answer the CRV-7 question.

You were missing an "=" after hiddenSelectionTextures[] and your class Library was set-up wrong.

7 hours ago, computer said:

When it's loaded. Can't hear gunshots from other players who don't have it loaded and vice versa...
 

Just a quick one on this - if you mean that there are problems when some players have the 3CB mods loaded and other players on the same server don't, then this is probably expected behaviour.

All players need to run the same modsets in general for stable bug-free game play.

[Need help on vehicle config]

You'll need to do some research to get your config right. Try these links:

 

Read about CfgPatches: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgPatches

Your new soldiers will need uniforms configured in CfgWeapons - read about this here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Characters_And_Gear_Encoding_Guide

Your vehicle was attempting to inherit from "B_MRAP_03_HMG_F" - I'm not sure where you got that class name from, but according to my config source dump, such a vehicle does not exist!

 

Here is an edit to your config to get you going - at least it should build and you'll see the items in the Editor, so you can work on it further:

[Reskinned Uniforms: Thermals and injuries]

There are problems with hiddenSelectionMaterials and damage textures if I remember correctly. There may be ways around it (different rvmats in different LOD's?) - someone else may know more.

If you don't even want to try it to see the effect on your problem, that's up to you.

[Proxy retexturing in config]

Interesting da12th, I'd read about that wreck model texture setting, but assumed it couldn't/shouldn't be used for non-wreck models. Is there any data on how it hits performance, as it could be of use?

I agree that copying/pasting the proxy mesh into the main model is likely to be the best way to go in this case.

[Proxy retexturing in config]

Animate the proxies in the same way you animate anything else in the model. "hide" is an animation, as much as "translation" or "rotation".

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Model_Config

 

If you have deleted something, but still see it at a distance, you may not have removed the object in all res LOD's, or have forgotten to name the object if it is included in a hide animation.

[Proxy retexturing in config]

Nothing inside the proxy can be animated or use hiddenSelections.

But you can add multiple proxies to your main model and then animate them to be shown one at a time (type="hide") from the code.

 

[Reskinned Uniforms: Thermals and injuries]

The problem could be to do with hiddenSelectionsMaterials[].

Try removing them and see if the problem persists.

Then you create a gunner-animation that has IK enabled for his legs. 

This is the key part for us Evrik, the rest is straight forward. Thanks x3kj.

We can presumably look at existing driver animations with legs IK where they are able to push the pedals up and down in a car for examples, unless x3kj can briefly explain how to add the IK.

[3CB BAF Vehicles]

It was a design choice to have them hold 4 in the back, not a bug.

We are representing a rather wide range from GS to FFR, all with different seating capacities and we decided that it worked best in game play with two LR's per Section (one per fire team).

[Help to find a good Texture Program]

We (3CB) mostly use Substance Painter and Photoshop / GIMP / Paint.net.

[Object Builder: No Texture Loaded]

In Object Builder

Select the object you want to texture

Press E  (Menu: Faces > Face Properties)

Add a Texture (.tga or .paa) in the texture field

Add a  Material (.rvmat) in the Material field

Ok

How are you trying to apply textures to the model?

What format is your texture?

What is the texture file name?
