3rd party tools

[snoofkin911]

Are there any 3rd party tools to make&edit content for ARMA

[Adumb]

We have tools that can edit configs and some textures... but no model editing tools that i know of. Heres a list (http://armed-assault.net/downloads/tools/) of some ArmA tools that the community has made. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

[dan9of9]

i see the arma tools there,but im like, :/ what do i do.
can anyone make a walk thru that can extract a pbo,show how to skin it in a paint prog or something,and then how to put it back together and be used as a pbo that doesnt overright the orignal content?

pls guys, the communty would have so much more ya know http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Cool,got the Kegetys Tools.
i have extracted a pbo
i used the ZS_WoodlandUS addons just to start trying to get it renamed and show in the editor.

When it extracts the pbo it extracts a folder called ZS_WoodlandUS
inside that folder is a data folder,,a config.cpp file,,some p3d files called us_soldier,us_soldierat,,etc,etc,etc

i am trying to just rename this and make a pbo file.

i first tried renaming the first folder called ZS_WoodlandUS to Alpha9_US
it didnt work.
i then renamed anything with ZS_WoodlandUS in the config.cpp with Alpha9_US,saved it,made pbo
it didnt work

i added Alpha9_US to the code in the config
displayName = "Alpha9_US";

still didnt work.
so i deleted the ZS_WoodlandUS.pbo and boom,it now apears in the editor called Alpha9_US.

but but but,when it loads i get an error saying
ZS_WoodlandUS\data\us_soldieracu_ohrnute_co.paa.
it goes in game,and the skin is all white (ofc the texture is missing)

..........................................
but how do i make this work along side the ZS_WoodlandUS
and with the textures?
..........................................

check this out,this is the changed config.cpp file
(changed anything that said ZS_WoodlandUS with Alpha9_US)

from what i can see,is there is some coding somewhere trying to load the textures from a folder called ZS_WoodlandUS where i need it to look in the Alpha9_US folder that i renamed.

pls help someone.im so close.

[dan9of9]

this is my directorys with the renamed folder,
as far as i can see,the config is renamed where ever it says ZS_WoodlandUS with Alpha9_US so i dont get why it wont be individual,lol
is there coding in those p3d files that is telling it to look for the folder ZS_WoodlandUS ??

http://www.alpha9s.com/pictemp/firstpbodir1.jpg

http://www.alpha9s.com/pictemp/firstpbodir2.jpg

[dan9of9]

hmm,ok,ive renamed this all to A9_Alpha9US
and all the parts in the config that said ZS_WoodlandUS is now renamed to A9_Alpha9US
and anything named ex: vehicleClass = "ZS_Men";
i have renamed to vehicleClass = "A9_Men";

all seems to be working http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

seems the first 2 initials relate to the folder somehow :/


EDITED http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif actualy forget that,it is listed in there along side the ZS_WoodlandUS but if i remove that woodland addon its back to cannot load blarblar texture http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif

ok,need a break http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif 5 hours straight on this now.

this is the new config im using now with folder named A9_Alpha9US

[...]
is there coding in those p3d files that is telling it to look for the folder ZS_WoodlandUS ??
[...]
Yes. Open the p3ds with a hex-editor and you'll see that the texture have been mapped to '\ZS_WoodlandUS\whatever.pac'
However, its not as simple as hex-editing a new path, as from what I gather, the new path you use has to be the same length in terms of the number of characters used, as the original path, so for example you could use '\A9_USWoodland\' but NOT '\A9_Alpha9US\' as its several characters too short.

So if you simply leave the original woodland addon in, but remove the config.cpp from it, it should work. Though if you're not editing the textures etc. I don't see the point if all you're doing is changing their names and weapon loadouts, can't you just do that in the mission editor?

anyone know if there is a .paa plugin for other paint progs likes paintshoppro7
as my photoshop cs2 had 25 days left,
today i installed vista,and aparently its ran out http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif

i have an orig version of psp7,or photodraw v2 (old prog)

anyone?

you don&#39;t really need a photoshop plugin.
simply use texview to get a paa / pac file into .tga
from tga to paa / pac you can use texview too, or paa tool http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

Kegetys (http://www.kegetys.net/arma/) has created a photoshop plugin that reads/writes paa and pac files.

i have the keg tools and .paa plugin already,
i just wondered if psp7 can open them,as i cannot afford &#036;650 for photoshop.

not that my psp7 will install on vista *rolleyes*

I use The GIMP with a combination of TexView and PAATool. That does the job for me....

would the keg plugin work for photoshop 7?
cos i gotta chance to buy a copy cheap http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Works all fine at least for me. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif I&#39;m using Adobe Photoshop 7.0.

the paa plugin works fine for me with photoshop 6.0.1 (old)

[dan9of9]

ah ha,if anyones got vista,you get probs with the plug in.
for one,you have to install photoshop after changing the exe to run in xp-sp2 mode,and ofc the exe to start the program once installed.
all fine,

add plugin and boom,it lacks 2 dlls in the system folder.
simply search google,download them,and it works http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

got a trial version of ps7 on,should have orig in a few days fingures crossed http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif
