basic .ccp examples for - addon beginners

[Volhv]

I't trying to make my first small addon for ArmA II
- a russian soldier with AK-74(M), AKM, Speznaz with AKM and so on - for personal use.. and fun.

but I can't get this unit displayed in the editor! There are also no errors shown during game start. Have the feeling they are disabled. I also use a mod folder (the same as for the cool VOP sounds).

As spoiler my first config is included. Then I am making the PBO file with this config like in ArmA 1 with Kegetys PBO tool.

My biggest wish is to make the OPFOR Tshedaki guys with soviet KLMK or KZM instead of snow camo (snow camo looks stupid :) ) - and a couple of resistance guys with cheap west weapons. But until then this is a first step.


Here is my config! Pls help me out...
/************************************************** **/
class CfgPatches {
class InfExp
{

units[] = {RU_Soldier_C1};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 0.5;
requiredAddons[] = {"CACharacters", "CAWeapons", "Characters2"; "CAWeapons_Colt1911", "CAWeapons_AK", "CAWeapons_M1014", "CAWeapons_bizon", "CAWeapons_VSS_vintorez", "CAWeapons_Saiga12K", "CAweapons_ksvk", "CAweapons_m107"};

};
};


// class CfgVehicleClasses {};

{

class Man;
class SoldierEB;
class RU_Soldier_Base;


class RU_Soldier_C1 : RU_Soldier_Base
{
displayName = "Rifleman [AKM]";

};
};

EDIT1

My pbo file has also the name "InfExp" - InfantryExpanded - but there are no "Rifleman [AKM]" in the game editor. I must have done something wrong. Or just post an example if you have some inf. unit working. I will search for my error alone then.

Watch the brackets. Get notepad++ or editpadpro as text editor.

Thx

these 4 brackets after unit class was a test.. the error console in ArmA II seems not to respond: In ArmA I would have got a warning "unbalanced brackets" during start. But nothing happens.

Thx for the links, will try them out. But they are for ArmA I, and there seems a kind of definition missing. I only have to wait for the first infantry releases.

All brackets seem to be in place, but the config still don't working.

what error in arma2.rpt (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/arma.RPT)
?

[Volhv]

Good point, i checked the .rpt report but my "work" is not mentioned there. Will wait for an infantry release and see how it is done.

Pack into folder "rusoldier" and convert to PBO. Add this PBO to addons & play!

Adds a russian rifleman with AKM. :bounce3:
