View Full Version : Tonal withdrawl :(
if anyone wants to try this out, download the file below.

You'll need to edit your characters.pbo and replace the config and a texture as well as replace your bin.pbo in the dta folder to try this out.
If you want to try it out, backup those 2 pbos first.
This is just something to get me started on Tonal for ARMA.
Don't blame me if it doesn't work for you or you break your installation.
I'll have a real project going soon.
Also, do not mirror or repost this anywhere as it's just a test.
A little readme inside the .rar file would be nice.
Only a little info. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/huh.gif
It replaces east faces to african faces, and replaces east uniform to one used in the Tonal rebel units.
That's really about all there is.
Interesting, might try it out later today. It`s 04:15 AM here, and i nedd some sleep first.

sounds a nice little addon, will try it out http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif
not really an addon, just a little test to see if I could change the east faces to be african plus a new camo to help me cope with Tonal withdrawl http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif
It will overwrite the original items, so make sure you back up anything. I don't play MP so I couldn't care less, but it will break your pbos for mp play.
Also if you try this, make sure you delete the config.bin from the characters pbo after you add in the included config.cpp.
Again, this is nothing special, just something to change the feel of the east units.

No. If you need a screenshot to decide if you want to try it out, then you probably don't want it anyway. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

I think they fit really well in the Sahrani/Rahmadi milieu (it
looks a kind of "Afro/Caribbean" sort of place anyway), and
the camouflage pattern seems to blend in well with the more
arid areas of the islands too (much better than those lousy
don't-really-blend-in with-anything-much "ACU" suits the
yanks wear in the game! http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/nener.gif ).
I'm going to prefer these as the "Eastern" troops for a while
in my games.

not now there isn't as you need to edit the configs to get all the east faces to be african. You can try a mod folder.

I opened up the characters.pbo and see the "np_soldier_co.paa" in the characters/data folder. You replace that, but then what do you do with the config.cpp?

I opened up the characters.pbo and see the "np_soldier_co.paa" in the characters/data folder. You replace that, but then what do you do with the config.cpp?
delete the config.bin and just put the config.cpp in there and repbo.
Thx, but it's still not working for me. I get a crash to desktop with some shader error, but when i revert back to the orginal files, all is good.
If it wasn't a cool change I wouldn't bother with this since it's giving me trouble, but these units fit sahari much better imo.
If you don't mind, let me go through the steps I went though and see if I did something wrong.....
1) Dta folder - I change the default bin.pbo to (D)bin.pbo (I put (D) for default to keep track)
2) AddOns folder – Copy and paste characters.pbo and name it (D)characters.pbo.
3) Then I extract the other characters.pbo with kegetys tool.
4) Open the folder. Delete config.bin and put config.cpp in its place.
5) Then overwrite the "np_soldier_co.paa" in the characters/data folder with the new file.
6) Then I repbo it.
Did I do something wrong in this process?
I didn't see anything wrong with what you did, but just try one at a time and see which one is causing the issue.
I did make a couple errors in the face names, but it still worked for me.
These are fixed and might help.
Also in there is a weapons pbo edit I did to make the weapons HD for fun. They're all HD, but at least you live longer now http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/whistle.gif
http://www.yousendit.com/transfe....62AA527 (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=BCA22428562AA527)
Again, try just using the texture first, then the config edit and the bin change.
I'll try to make a real pbo for these this weekend as well.
Did you try making a mod folder for this? I haven't but I will tomorrow so I can have a clean install as well.
Thx, I did it step by step and the problem was the BIN.PBO. That was what was giving me the error. I loaded the game up with my default bin.pbo and it everything seems ok (the tonal unit show up).
Is there any reason why I would need the edited BIN.PBO or will my default bin.pbo do just fine?
I'm almost positive you won't get the african faces as I had to define them in the character config and the main config. You can try just using one or the other, but I doubt it'll work. At first I just tried changing them in the character pbo, but it didn't work so I edited them all as well in the bin.pbo.
Try the newer files.
Might be a version conflict? I'm running the patched german download version which was then patched for english. Not sure that means anything http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif
Edit: Like I said, this was just a test anyway http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif
Well, all I'm using right now is the edited characters.pbo (not the bin.pbo), so I just created a @<hidden> mod folder and put that edited characters.pbo in "@<hidden>/AddOns" and it seems to be working fine.
Here's a quick comparison picture.....

1.02 - Fixed various model issues on several characters.
1.02 - Fixed wound definition for Fieldreporter
1.02 - Fixed wrong respawn weapons on SoldierWAT
1.02 - Soldiers have now 12 main and 8 side item pockets
1.02 - Grenadiers carry now 8 grenades
After installing 1.02 ppl need to rePBO the new characters.pbo i guess. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/xmas_o.gif Thought i'd mention that. Havent tried yet.

Tonal was a famous mod once (or still is after it was 'reborn' by TonalRedux), so it wouldn't be wise to change the name. If ppl read `Tonal for ArmA' they instantly know what to expect. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif
@<hidden>: Can you tell us how to make your little addon run with ArmA 1.02 ? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/help.gif
I'll make a new one tomorrow and actually have a readme and a mod folder install http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif
Yeah those 2 new pics are just my playing around trying to make SADF Recees.
I'm still just toying around with ideas now. I will probably not work on a Tonal idea for long time and will get my feet wet in ARMA modding by helping out the SADF mod.
But I'll make a new upload for 1.02 hopefully tomorrow.
OR
Just a mission template with all the units using african faces. May be a better idea than modding files when you can just set the faces in the missions. There are about 20 african faces in there now.
But if you only change the faces you don't get the uniform change right? I would love a mod folder install with units like the ones in that pic above. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v464/ebud/assault1.jpg It looks amazing!
thats what I'm working now. I was hoping to finish it today, but it looks like it will be another day or two as it's taking longer than I thought to do it "for real" rather than just a quick retexture.

So you're basically saying that your bin.pbo and the new config.cpp in characters.pbo are just fixing the african faces ?
If anyone wants to try out some reskins and hd weapons for SP to replay the campaign, drop me a pm. I'll never do a public release, so if you know how to run mod folders for arma and want to try them let me know.

I meant that these reskins will never be a "real" addon and won't have a big release.
A real Tonal update is something that is months or even years away. Who knows how long it would take.
This is just a quick fix and not something to be taken too seriously.

Thank you brother, I'll be looking for them.
Here is a quick beta of some standalone troops different than the the reskin mod replacements I've been sending people. 3 sides, all look different.
I need to fix naming and pathing for the blood textures to work, but I'll do that this weekend at some point, then maybe release them. Or throw them into a project with Peanut and the both of us finish a pbo.
