Hey guys. I've been googling and searching and dissecting already existing mods for help. But a lot of the tutorials or calls for help either go over what i've already completed, are too far ahead in the steps or too advanced for my knowledge. I try to google long and hard before resorting to making a forum post. I'm starting off simple. Basicly my unit just wanted a vest to distinguish our instructors during training since we do mass training sessions blah blah blah. I have grabbed the .paa of the tactical vest police, changed it to a .png via text2view, saved it it and turned it into a .paa again. I also have notepad++ as well as PBOmanager. I'ts hard to explain where i'm stuck at. It is meant to be a separate vest, not a reskin of an existing one, so essentially speaking the original vest (the black police one) will exist in game as well as this one and be activated via @folder my pbo looks like this atm So now i'm just sitting here wondering what is next. Since its supposed to be a different vest, i would believe i need to change those names in the pbo and create a classname as well. But I dont know how to do that either. Any guidance is appreciated. This is posted in the config area because i THINK that is the next step. but again. Dont even know how to create that

excuse me while i throw thumbs up at you from a dump truck full of them. I'm going to test this out when i get home tonight

Thanks! It's probably one of my favorite ones haha Yeah thats the idea, I didn't want to say "retexture" because when i think of that I think of replacing the colors of an existing vest instead of actually adding another physical vest (even though its an existing 3D model, if that makes sense) In a perfect world i'd like this vest to appear in arsenal or maybe even an ammo box. So that's what I was looking for. Are these mostly a plug and go thing? Or do i need to swap some things here and there? Also do i need to change the name of the vest since it's still called a the tactical police vest?

I'm Fox. I've been playing arma since ArmA Gold when i was young. Im 21 now and have been playing with mods since a bit before combined operations. I'm just now venturing off into creating my own simple mods for ArmA 3 and came to this forum for help. But it seems I'm not allowed to post. Soo... uh... Hi IRL i'm a door to door salesman
