Great info here, thanks so much! So... I ran into something else a little more/less strange.. I can't decide yet. So i got my armor values to work using the same code, just re-written a bit. I changed my naming from "Custom_Vest" to more fitting to my mod "Project_Honor_vest" and all of the sudden, IT WORKED :0 but heres the weird part, Now everything is doubled... So i have my old vests (Custom_Vest) with no armor values, and my new ones (Project_Honor_Vest) both showing in the arsenal... but the project honor one responds to the changes i make in the config towards armor values. But now i cant get rid of the others :( I've searched my entire config, and the only thing with the word custom left in it is my Custom_Faction... So its weird that all vests/uniforms/bags/helmets are all doubled, showing both the new and old classnames. Heres a copy of my config code on the vests now, in case im missing something obvious...

Hey there! I am absolutely BRAND new to modding.I have been playing/playing with mods in the ARMA series since Operation Flashpoint, and I've always been interested in making content myself. With that being said, I wanted to start with a simple reskin, being as nooby as I am; but also wanted something that hasn't been done yet. That was a task all on its own! haha! I've been a fan of the project honor camo pattern, I own some gear in it for when I go plinking in the hills, soooooooooo I figured i would take a stab at that. All I've done so far is the Independent uniform, but figured I would upload what I have for any feedback, and to see if anyone is interested in this pattern as well! :) I'm looking into doing some vests/helmets/bags, but one step at a time! ;) Anywho, I've been a long time fan of so many peoples work on here, and feel great that I may be able to start adding to the community as well! -VanSchmoozin (I hope i linked these pictures correctly.... )

Hey guys! I put out my first release of these bad boys! Head over here and start slaying some noobs with em'!!! haha :) https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/185842-medal-of-honor-project-honor-release/

little bit of extra info, i cant change the chestrigs armor value either... Even if i set it super low, or super high, it remains the same... tears

I wonder whats happening... I tried copying over your code with no luck even. Minus changing the paths to lead to my files and such. And its more than just not showing in the arsenal, with an mx at 50 yards or so it takes 5 shots with the vanilla vest/values to take a unit down, and with my vest on it takes two. Oddly enough my code, which is the exact same works on the chestrig.. but not the main vests.... weird... im seriously at a loss. no armor on regular rigs... plenty on chest rig....

Still working on getting the armor values to show up for the carrier rigs.. for some reason its showing up on the chestrig i just config'd but not the other main vests. Once I have that sorted I'm gonna release these! Hopefully wont be more than a day or two. Heres a shot or two of the chestrig and a couple of the units out during different times of day. (All uniforms, vests, bakpacks and helmets are my own work, everything else is another mod. If you're curious, just ask :) )

Thanks man!! :)

hey man! ya thats what I thought too. but Ive tried armor=40 armor=40000 armor=4 lol i ended up on this code thats in there from another mod, that i know has working armor values in game, but when i pasted the code into my own... no dice. Im sure its something simple, but i just cant see it.

I love that guerrilla uniform as well! I'm thinking about doing that uniform and the IND officer uniform to add in, but probably not for my first release. Do an expansion pack of sorts in a bit once i get this first release tidied up and out :) Thanks for the ideas! I'm definitely open to any and all ideas haha I actually did two helmets already, I'll link the pics below :) Thank you so much man! Never having done modding before, it is SO encouraging to hear stuff like this. :) I tried to keep it within the realm of blending with the original content since I love playing through the campaign and don't want to stick out like a sore thumb haha! pics of kitbag, and helmets :)

Thanks good sir!!!! :D haha right?!? ridiculous, but worth it. Thanks man!! andd my final post of today: Got around to finishing up the Crye variants as well! Added some ripstop texture to the plain color pants/shirts and played around with the shadows/dirt to make them look more like real pants and not shimmery plastic off the shelf haha. These are all the uniform combos I'm planning on doing for now. Feels good to have those wrapped. I feel like you can just edit endlessly, so I have to put a cap on it eventually lol The three nato vest variants I'm also stoked on, added some ripstop texture to those as well. Although even though in my config i have armor=40 They still arent showing armor values, but i also havent really tried to fix it yet. probably missing a damn semi colon or something haha Might do the chestrig vest... might do the ind vest.. Still deciding. I do have a kitbag textured up, but havent config'd it yet. Anyway, almost ready! Just noticed the ass-seam is off on the tan pants... haha damn it just when i though i was done with them... :D

I lined the seams like you suggested @Adacas, love the way that turned out! even if my poor hand was cramping after haha! Some of the Combo uniforms :

Thanks man! The faces come from this mod : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=22172One of my favorites!! Has a ton of uniforms and gear as well. Super rad mod.

Quick update for some vest textures and other uniform. I'm thinking of doing a couple varients with either solid pants/camo top or camo pants/solid top. Just to have more variety.

Thanks man! I'm defintely feeling good about them now. Feeling more and more finished with every little tweak. I'm shooting to be able to release something this week! Even if its just the uniforms, and maybe do a gear pack to add in later or something. it's one of the vests from this mod : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29301It's the scout one if I'm not mistaken! Dude thats a great idea. I don't know why i didnt think to just try something with the pen tool... lol .. i think in my mind it HAS to be something complex and complicated cause it's so new to me. Sometimes its as easy as... drawing it in there haha

Although, the IND uniforms benefited HUGE from retexturing the pocket patterns. Dang, night and day! Also, heres is another dirt option, a bit less than on the nato uniforms... cant decide which one I like best yet. One thing that has been a real pleasant surprise: The camo works surpringly well on Altis/Stratis! I did'nt think it really would, and that it would be more of a A2 maps type camo, cause i've long thought the standard IND uniform was too green for the A3 maps... But I'm digging it on them! Maybe just cause I'm pumped to see something I've created in the armaverse haha :)

Got Some working dirt textures that I'm digging, though I might back off on it a little bit. I went through and put seperate textures on the pockets that itsthomas suggested, but funny enough because of the digital pattern, Its hardly noticable because it just sort of looks like part of the pattern haha. I did the lips of the pockets seperate from the pouch area of the pocket, and even did inside the non-cargo pocket on the hip to be different. But I still prefer knowing its done correctly, even if its hard to notice lol. Any suggestions on how to define that any more would be welcomed! Heres some more of the Nato uniform screenies. Again, just the uniforms are mine, all gear and weapons are not; nor are they going to be part of these when I release them, but more just to show what finished loadouts could look like.

thanks man!! I'm glad some one else likes the pattern haha I never really hear about it outside of the game so that's rad! Ya, as far as the dirt goes I want it to look worn but not thrashed lol I mean they do get to wash their clothes back at base haha ;) more to just make it look less-perfect than anything.

Thanks man!!! Duuuude! Good point. I'll definitely do that. As far as editing the rvmat....you'll have to teach me ;) haha

Finally got the Blufor uniform in game after pulling my hair out learning configs haha. So noooooby :D These are all still without dirt/wear and tear cause I've been trying to get them in game. Stoked to tackle vests and bags now! woo!!! also, should be noted, the only thing of mine in this are the uniforms themselves. Vests/guns/gear/anything else is either vanilla content or random mods :)

Dude these look so rad!!! I particularly like the head wrap!! How the nose sticks out. Looks amazing. Nice to mix it up. All around insane quality. Can't wait for a release!

I did not, that is from this mod : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29725It looks great in game! reminds me of the beanies in DayZ Standalone.

haha woo!!! Looking forward to being there man. Pumped about learning from this rad community.

haha ya man, never even knew how to unpack a .pbo till yesterday lol I do have experience in Photoshop though, so I'm not coming in totally blind. Just blind to modding. Mainly on the config side of things. That's what really confusing me haha but thank you!! Really encouraging to hear that :)

funny, I was just doing that!! That's one of my favorite things in the "ARC" packs. Love how used it all looks. Thanks man!!

Thanks you guys!! I'm having a blast working on these. I'm working on the NATO uniform right now, then I'll knock out the vests for each respective faction. I finished up the kitbag yesterday. Maybe Monday or Tuesday if I can figure how to config everything properly I can have something together for a release. Your encouragement is rad, makes me want to work towards a public release. :)
