groups config

Hey,

i made a custom group config so i do not need tp place the soldiers one by one in the editor BUT i always get an error message if i start the game ...

size: required addons/ not an array

first what does this mean and second how can i fix this problem?

can you post a bit of your config ?

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgPatches {

class YOURCLASS {

units[] = {};

weapons[] = {};

requiredVersion = 0.14;

requiredAddons[] = {"ace_config_men", "ace_config_vehicle", "six_config_men", "six_config_vehicle"};

};

};

class Blah {

..more blah..

}

its kinda hard to know whats going on without having something to look at

does it work for normal units ?

yeah thats true ... so here it is ...

btw i use Laza to convert to bin or is there a better programm out there?

class CfgPatches {

class rbf_config_groups {

units = {};

weapons = {};

requiredVersion = 0.100000;

requiredAddons = {"ace_config_men", "ace_config_vehicle", "six_config_men", "six_config_vehicle"};

};

};

};

class Unit3 {

position = {0, -36, 0};

rank = "PRIVATE";

position = {0, -72, 0};

skill = 0.800000;

};

};

};

};

};

again..

i will point out!

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

requiredAddons = {"ace_config_men", "ace_config_vehicle", "six_config_men", "six_config_vehicle"};

make it

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

requiredAddons[] = {"ace_config_men", "ace_config_vehicle", "six_config_men", "six_config_vehicle"};

also i think its a good idea to put your unitis in

units[] = {};

also make

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

units = {};

weapons = {};

to

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

units[] = {};

weapons[] = {};

hope this helps a bit

ahhhh yes this is now working fine

thx alot

so only one question left what programm are you using or do you recommand to easy make a *.bin file?

bin files are just easier for Arma to load, so it is recommended. Simply download and use the BIS tools for making bins
