I have made custom faction, everything seems to work fine, except two things: 1. Even though units appear in Eden editor under custom faction name, they do not appear based on custom CfgVehicleClasses; instead it seems they inherit classes from units they are based on; 2. Also custom faction and its units completly not appear in Zeus. class CfgPatches { class LAF_UNITS { units[] = { LITHSOF1_Operator, LITHSOF1_Operator_solid, LITHSOF1_SquadLeader, LITHSOF1_Support, LITHSOF1_rifleman, LITHSOF1_AT, LITHSOF1_engineer, LITHSOF1_explosiveSpec, LITHSOF1_medic, LITHSOF1_Designated_Marksman, LITHSOF1_sniper, LITHSOF1_spotter, LITHSOF2_Operator_desert, LITHSOF2_SquadLeader_desert, LITHSOF2_rifleman_desert, LITHSOF2_AT_desert, LITHSOF2_engineer_desert, LITHSOF2_explosiveSpec_desert, LITHSOF2_medic_desert, LITHSOF2_support_desert, LITHSOF2_Designated_Marksman_desert, LITHSOF2_Sniper_desert, LITHSOF2_Spotter_desert, LITHSOF3_Operator_new_camo, LAF_Rifleman, LAF_AT_MAAWS, LAF_AT_Javelin, LAF_Designated_Marksman, LAF_Engineer, LAF_ExplosiveSpec, LAF_Medic, LAF_SquadLeader, LAF_Support, LAF_Driver, LAF_Officer, LAF_Officer2, LAF_Pilot_plane, LAF_Pilot_heli, LAF_Mi8_Air, LAF_Heli_Light_Air, LAF_L39_Air, LAF_HMMWV1_Wheeled, LAF_HMMWV1M2_Wheeled, LAF_HMMWV2_Wheeled, LAF_HMMWV2M2_Wheeled, LAF_M113, LAF_Zamak_covered_w }; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = { a3_characters_F, a3_characters_f_beta, a3_characters_f_gamma, a3_characters_f_bootcamp, a3_characters_F_EPB, a3_soft_f_beta, a3_air_f, a3_ui_f, a3_weapons_f, rhsusf_weapons, rhsusf_weapons2, rhsusf_weapons3, rhs_weapons, rhs_weapons2, rhs_weapons3, rhsusf_infantry, rhs_infantry, rhs_infantry2, rhs_c_troops, rhsusf_hmmwv, rhsusf_m113, rhsusf_c_m113, rhs_a2port_air, LAF_balaclavas, LAF_Carryall_Bag, LAF_backpack_small, }; }; }; class cfgFactionClasses { class LAF //Faction Calling Name { displayName = "Lithuanian Armed Forces"; //Faction name in-game icon = "LAF\Data\UI\LAF_logo.paa"; //Path to texture next to the faction name in editor "PBOname\filename.paa" priority = 1; //How far down it is on the menu side = 1; // 1 Blufor 2 opfor 3 independant i think. }; }; class CfgVehicleClasses { class LITHSOF1_Units //Name of unit group e.g Air, Infantry, Armour { displayName = "Men (LITHSOF Woodland)"; priority = 1; }; class LITHSOF2_Units { displayName = "Men (LITHSOF Desert)"; priority = 2; }; class LITHSOF3_Units { displayName = "Men (LITHSOF New Camo)"; priority = 3; }; class LAF1_Units { displayName = "Men"; priority = 4; }; class LAF_air { displayName = "Air"; priority = 5; }; class LAF_Wheeled { displayName = "Cars, APCs"; priority = 6; }; }; Unit example (relevant part of script): class LITHSOF1_Operator: I_soldier_F //Unit Class name: Class getting info from { side = 1; faction = "LAF"; backpack = ""; vehicleclass = "LITHSOF1_Units"; genericNames="SOPNames"; author = "Karolus"; _generalMacro = "LITHSOF1_Operator"; scope = 2; scopeCurator = 2; scopeArsenal = 2; displayName = "Operator"; }; This unit, for example, in editor appears under "Men", instead of "Men (LITHSOF Woodland)". And same goes for every unit, almost all of them are merged under "Men", except snipers, which inherit information from I_Sniper_F, and appears under "Special forces". One of helicopter appear under "Helicopter", other on "Helicopters", etc. Also, as you can see, I have written unit classnames under cfgPatches, as its required to work with Zeus, also scopeCurator = 2 is written under every unit i wanted to appear in Zeus, but whole faction and its units do not appear in Zeus. I have read that this problem was related to custom faction classname in the past and if I wanted it to appear in Zeus, i had to use vanilla classname as NATO, for example. But it appears that mods like RHS works just fine in Zeus with custom faction classnames, so i don't understand where the problem is.

Hey guys, I'm creating a custom faction and I'm looking to add some custom icons for each unit that would show up in Shack Tac for example how Medics have the circle with the star inside of it. Is this possible, and if so what size/resolution would the icon be?

Hello. I was hoping that someone could help me. I am trying to make a custom faction with custom units, using gear that is already in the game (as well as in a few mods such as in RHS, etc.). I managed to get the gear and units to spawn in, however all of the units come under one heading, "Men". I want them split off, for example, "Police Troopers" and "SWAT". See the picture below for reference. As I said, I want them split off into different subsections instead of just "Men". How would I do this? My code is below, in a config.cpp.

Currently i'm working on my custom faction mod. I have different soldiers wearing same uniform variant. I have created three insignias and they work in the game (all of them are visible and usable in virtual arsenal). First insignia is used with my woodland uniform, second insignia used with desert uniform - they appear in-game when soldiers are placed through the editor. But when I try to assign my third insignia, which is again used with woodland uniform, game loads first insignia instead of third. Insignias script looks like this: class CfgUnitInsignia { class LITHSOF_insignia1 { displayName = "LITHSOF Woodland Insignia"; author = "Karolus"; texture = "\LAF\data\LITHSOF_woodland_insignia2.paa"; textureVehicle = ""; }; class LITHSOF_insignia2 { displayName = "LITHSOF Desert Insignia"; author = "Karolus"; texture = "\LAF\data\LITHSOF_desert_insignia.paa"; textureVehicle = ""; }; class LITHSOF_insignia3 { displayName = "Zaliukas"; author = "Karolus"; texture = "\LAF\data\YPT_Zaliukas_Insignia_co.paa"; textureVehicle = ""; }; }; Uniform script looks like this: class LITHSOF_Woodland_Uniform: Uniform_Base { scope = 2; displayName = "LITHSOF Woodland Uniform"; picture = "\A3\characters_f_epa\data\ui\icon_U_B_CTRG_uniform_ca.paa"; model = "\A3\Characters_F\Common\Suitpacks\suitpack_blufor_diver"; hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo", "Insignia"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"LAF\data\LITHSOF_Woodland_co.paa"}; class ItemInfo: UniformItem { uniformModel = "-"; uniformClass = "LITHSOF1_Operator"; containerClass = "Supply50"; mass = 40; //Weight hiddenSelections[] = {"camo", "Insignia"}; }; }; My first soldier has these: uniformClass = "LITHSOF_Woodland_Uniform"; hiddenSelections[] = {"camo","insignia"}; HiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"LAF\data\LITHSOF_Woodland_co.paa","\LAF\data\LITHSOF_woodland_insignia2.paa"}; My second soldier has these: uniformClass = "LITHSOF_Woodland_Uniform"; hiddenSelections[] = {"camo","Insignia"}; HiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"LAF\data\LITHSOF_Woodland_co.paa","\LAF\data\YPT_Zaliukas_Insignia_co.paa"}; Anyone have ideas how to fix this?
