Hi everyone. I have been trying to add my own helmet into the game but I keep getting this error when equipping the item ingame: Error "Could not open \AddonsByJoe\IronHelmet\IronHelmet.p3d ". The helmet is showing in Bulldozer with textures. I have also checked that the location is correct with the config.cpp. The files are placed like this: P:\AddonsByJoe\IronHelmet. In the IronHelmet folder is where the IronHelmet.3pd file is. I also have another folder in there called data where I put all the textures and .cpp and .cfg files. Here is the config.cpp. I think this is where the error is. I do see how it could be anything else. class CfgPatches { class YoloJoe { author = "YoloJoe"; units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = { }; }; }; class cfgWeapons { class HeadgearItem; class ItemCore; class Vest_Camo_Base; class VestItem; class UniformItem; class Uniform_Base : ItemCore { class ItemInfo; }; class YoloJoeHelmet : ItemCore { scope = 2; author = "YoloJoe"; displayName = "Iron Helmet"; picture = ""; model = "\AddonsByJoe\IronHelmet\IronHelmet.p3d"; hiddenSelections[] = { "Camo1" }; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = { "\AddonsByJoe\IronHelmet\data\helmetplate01.paa" }; class ItemInfo : HeadgearItem { mass = 30; uniformModel = "AddonsByJoe\IronHelmet\IronHelmet.p3d"; mmodelsides[] = { 3,1 }; armor = 300; allowedSlots[] = { 6 }; explosionShielding = 0.4; hiddenSelections[] = { "Camo1" }; minimalHit = 0.01; passThrough = 0.01; class HitpointsProtectionInfo { class Head { hitpointName = "HitHead"; // reference to the hit point class defined in the man base class armor = 300; // addition to armor of referenced hitpoint passThrough = 0.1; // multiplier of base passThrough defined in referenced hitpoint }; }; }; }; }; I also have the model.cfg here, if needed class CfgSkeletons { class Default { isDiscrete=1; skeletonInherit=""; skeletonBones[]={}; }; class OFP2_ManSkeleton { isDiscrete=0; skeletonInherit=""; skeletonBones[]= { "Pelvis", "", "Spine", "Pelvis", "Spine1", "Spine", "Spine2", "Spine1", "Spine3", "Spine2", "Camera", "Pelvis", "weapon", "Spine1", "launcher", "Spine1", "neck", "Spine3", "neck1", "neck", "head", "neck1", "Face_Hub", "head", "Face_Jawbone", "Face_Hub", "Face_Jowl", "Face_Jawbone", "Face_chopRight", "Face_Jawbone", "Face_chopLeft", "Face_Jawbone", "Face_LipLowerMiddle", "Face_Jawbone", "Face_LipLowerLeft", "Face_Jawbone", "Face_LipLowerRight", "Face_Jawbone", "Face_Chin", "Face_Jawbone", "Face_Tongue", "Face_Jawbone", "Face_CornerRight", "Face_Hub", "Face_CheekSideRight", "Face_CornerRight", "Face_CornerLeft", "Face_Hub", "Face_CheekSideLeft", "Face_CornerLeft", "Face_CheekFrontRight", "Face_Hub", "Face_CheekFrontLeft", "Face_Hub", "Face_CheekUpperRight", "Face_Hub", "Face_CheekUpperLeft", "Face_Hub", "Face_LipUpperMiddle", "Face_Hub", "Face_LipUpperRight", "Face_Hub", "Face_LipUpperLeft", "Face_Hub", "Face_NostrilRight", "Face_Hub", "Face_NostrilLeft", "Face_Hub", "Face_Forehead", "Face_Hub", "Face_BrowFrontRight", "Face_Forehead", "Face_BrowFrontLeft", "Face_Forehead", "Face_BrowMiddle", "Face_Forehead", "Face_BrowSideRight", "Face_Forehead", "Face_BrowSideLeft", "Face_Forehead", "Face_Eyelids", "Face_Hub", "Face_EyelidUpperRight", "Face_Hub", "Face_EyelidUpperLeft", "Face_Hub", "Face_EyelidLowerRight", "Face_Hub", "Face_EyelidLowerLeft", "Face_Hub", "EyeLeft", "Face_Hub", "EyeRight", "Face_Hub", "LeftShoulder", "Spine3", "LeftArm", "LeftShoulder", "LeftArmRoll", "LeftArm", "LeftForeArm", "LeftArmRoll", "LeftForeArmRoll", "LeftForeArm", "LeftHand", "LeftForeArmRoll", "LeftHandRing", "LeftHand", "LeftHandRing1", "LeftHandRing", "LeftHandRing2", "LeftHandRing1", "LeftHandRing3", "LeftHandRing2", "LeftHandPinky1", "LeftHandRing", "LeftHandPinky2", "LeftHandPinky1", "LeftHandPinky3", "LeftHandPinky2", "LeftHandMiddle1", "LeftHand", "LeftHandMiddle2", "LeftHandMiddle1", "LeftHandMiddle3", "LeftHandMiddle2", "LeftHandIndex1", "LeftHand", "LeftHandIndex2", "LeftHandIndex1", "LeftHandIndex3", "LeftHandIndex2", "LeftHandThumb1", "LeftHand", "LeftHandThumb2", "LeftHandThumb1", "LeftHandThumb3", "LeftHandThumb2", "RightShoulder", "Spine3", "RightArm", "RightShoulder", "RightArmRoll", "RightArm", "RightForeArm", "RightArmRoll", "RightForeArmRoll", "RightForeArm", "RightHand", "RightForeArmRoll", "RightHandRing", "RightHand", "RightHandRing1", "RightHandRing", "RightHandRing2", "RightHandRing1", "RightHandRing3", "RightHandRing2", "RightHandPinky1", "RightHandRing", "RightHandPinky2", "RightHandPinky1", "RightHandPinky3", "RightHandPinky2", "RightHandMiddle1", "RightHand", "RightHandMiddle2", "RightHandMiddle1", "RightHandMiddle3", "RightHandMiddle2", "RightHandIndex1", "RightHand", "RightHandIndex2", "RightHandIndex1", "RightHandIndex3", "RightHandIndex2", "RightHandThumb1", "RightHand", "RightHandThumb2", "RightHandThumb1", "RightHandThumb3", "RightHandThumb2", "LeftUpLeg", "Pelvis", "LeftUpLegRoll", "LeftUpLeg", "LeftLeg", "LeftUpLegRoll", "LeftLegRoll", "LeftLeg", "LeftFoot", "LeftLegRoll", "LeftToeBase", "LeftFoot", "RightUpLeg", "Pelvis", "RightUpLegRoll", "RightUpLeg", "RightLeg", "RightUpLegRoll", "RightLegRoll", "RightLeg", "RightFoot", "RightLegRoll", "RightToeBase", "RightFoot" }; pivotsModel="A3\anims_f\data\skeleton\SkeletonPivots.p3d"; }; }; class CfgModels { class Default { sectionsInherit=""; sections[]={}; skeletonName=""; }; class YoloJoeHelmet: Default { htMin=60; htMax=1800; afMax=30; mfMax=0; mFact=1; tBody=37; sections[]= { "Head", "Camo1" }; skeletonName="OFP2_ManSkeleton"; }; };

Forgive me if anyone else has suggested it, i didn't see anything in the forums about it, and my error messages aren't easily sent. I too have been suffering from the 3fps 'bug', and i'd like to make the following suggestion regarding submitting feedback. Is it possible to add 'send' buttons on the error messages so those could be sent directly to BIS? (I guess you'd need a dedicated SMTP mail server like JangoMail or similar to handle the log traffic, but this would likely generate more feedback for you guys.) I have no idea if this would help the DEVS to examine logs to see if any of the crashes share a common trigger, or if even the logs reveal such things. What i do know is that many users have short attention spans and probably won't take the time to share their crash data in the forums or feedback tracker, especially if they aren't yet Arma addicts. Here's my suggestion for sending error logs directly to you guys (in green) : Cheers and keep up the good work friends!
