Hi all im having a minor issue with a helmet i'm currently working on. I pack the pbo fine and all that jazz but once im in game i get an error saying the p3d cannot be opened. The p3d is all original, as in i own it and made it from scratch. Iv'e made a few vehicles in the past but was wondering if anyone has an idea why the helmet won't open. Also on a side note i reduced the vert count to about 400 verts and still no joy. This is my config.cpp class CfgPatches { class Irishs_Gear { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {}; }; }; class cfgWeapons { class ItemCore; /// External class reference class InventoryItem_Base_F; /// External class reference class HeadgearItem : InventoryItem_Base_F { allowedSlots[] = {901, 605}; /// defines where can be the cap placed, it is small enough to fit in backpack type = 605; /// standard slot for the cap is on head hiddenSelections[] = {}; /// default caps don't have any changeable selections hitpointName = "HitHead"; /// what hitpoint is covered with the cap to have additional protection }; class MK6 : ItemCore { scope = 2; weaponPoolAvailable = 1; displayName = "Mk6 Jungle Warfare"; picture = "\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_H_HelmetB_CA.paa"; model = "\MK6_Helmet\Mk6"; class ItemInfo : HeadgearItem { mass = 10; uniformModel = "\MK6_Helmet\Mk6"; modelSides[] = {3, 1}; armor = 3*0.5; passThrough = 0.8; }; }; }; This is my model.cfg class CfgSkeletons { class Default { isDiscrete = 1; skeletonInherit = ""; skeletonBones[] = {}; }; class OFP2_ManSkeleton { isDiscrete = 0;

Greetings everyone! As you read in the title, the issue I'm having is that my texture doesn't get applied to the custom model that I made unless I force my newly made character to have a specific texture. This is a problem as the model needs to be capable of having multiple textures and I think it's kind of silly to make a new character for every texture. Underneath I'll post some pictures/code that should give you a clear look on what I did and probably done wrong: Faulty config.cpp: http://pastebin.com/NtLUGfrw Config.cpp with fixed texture: http://pastebin.com/1AzLcWMz O2: Ingame result:

Hello, I've designed model of his idea of waiting for a chair but after I finished the design and programming when I run the game with a Mod show me this message : Config : https://www.dropbox.com/s/9j0nrogus30a12x/config.cpp?dl=0 What is the solution ???? Regards, Abdul Rahman.

Hi guys, I have searched the internet for a couple hours and i cant find any up-to-date documentation on creating a 3D model for ArmA 3 to use in-game. Does anyone have a link to some up-to-date documentation and/or can write some basics himself? For 3D models i use 3D Studio Max. Thanks in advance! ~ JohnDoe

Last version (1.56) we have detected next bug (steps to reproduce): 0. Get primary weapon to your hands 1. toggle combat-walk 2. lower your weapon 3. you will be move silent without sound (your soldier is playing animation - moving and carry weapon with one hand) Bugs: 1) silent moving 2) where you push SPRINT key from these state - you will be play healing soldier animation and slow down the speed. === In version 1.58 we have detected new bug (steps to reproduce): 0. Get the primary weapon in your hands 1. Sit down with X key 2. Use CTRL+S to get down your stand (down-sit) or CTRL+W to get your stand up (up-sit) 3. Use B key to get binoculars From 3rd person you will take binoculars, that will be removed from your hands - you will be see through empty hands. From first person your soldier will play animation "seriosly wounded carrying" i think or something - they wont get the binoculars and trying to brake-dancing. Where you try to get binoculars in down-stand/up-stand OR down-prone/up-prone - all will be ok, the soldier first make his stand normal, after that get binoculars. === Need to fix these 2 bugs.

Hi, I remark that the result is inverted for 3DEN attribute "show model". By default, this option is checked and object/unit is visible. Uncheck the "show model" in 3DEN for whatever unit/object. Run preview (SP). The model is still visible. Check "show model": the model becomes invisible, uncheck again: the model is back, check.... now you have an inverted toggle. Other attributes (special states) seem to work normally, so far.

Hello. I've been getting these odd shadows on my models recently, any reason why? The shemagh uses vanilla textures, "armor1_co.paa" and "armor1.rvmat". http://i.imgur.com/hVuDs8k.jpg Thanks, Night515

Hello, we are looking for scripters and modellers for our Altis Life server. We want to provide bigger variety of assets to play with, but there are only few guys in our dev squad. Please feel free to let anyone you may know, or yourself just find us at czskaltislife.4fan.cz and ask for myself to talk more in detail and get you as excited as we are...

Hey There, I've just started making my first weapon mod for arma 3 and while I feel I've got most of it figured out, I'm nearing the completion of the high poly model and I just wanted to know what are the polycounts for vanilla arma 3 weapon LODs just to make sure my stuff runs smoothly. I tried to find some examples, but all I dug up was arma 2 stuff, and I'm not interested in those. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Hello everyone, we just released update 4.1, this simply adds a tool for converting models from the FBX format (supported by most modeling programs) to Take On Mars' internal format, TXO. This should allow everyone to import their own models into the game. Documentation and examples to come soon! The convertor can be launched directly from the game's Steam menu.
