The one issue that keeps bugging me is the fact that the bridge i made in oxygen refuses to function as specified in the config. INstead, it acts as the default value of a tree, turning over sideways when hit by large trucks, when it should be indestructable. I have tried many configs some from scratch, and out of desperation some templates from other custom buildings that seem to work fine in game. I'll post some example configs i've tried below.

To me, it just seems that the config and the model refuse to be connected to one another. THe model geometry works fine, since you can walk across it, shoot it etc. But any property specified in the config such as map icon, armor etc refuses to exist in game

ANY advice is GREATLY appreciated since i've spent many hours editing the config, file structure etc and seeing no result ingame.

PS Is there a step in Oxygen that specifies which config to use?

I also noticed that buildings that do not specify a map icon in the config still have one in game, yet my buildings do not regardless of the config. This leads me to believe that there is a step needed in oxygen or visitor 3 that i am missing...

Failed attempts at having my bridge acting as indestructable object that functions as a house (rather than a default tree value)

Code:


#define _ARMA_

class CfgPatches
{

        class Andy_Bridge
        {
                units[] = {};
                weapons[] = {};
                requiredVersion = 0.1;
                requiredAddons[] = {};
        };
};
class CfgVehicles
{
        class House;
        class LAND_Andy_Bridge1: House
       
        {
                model = "\andy_bridge\Land_al_bridge.p3d";
                armor = 1320;
                icon = "iconStaticObject";
                simulation = "road";
                scope = 1;
                destrType = "DestructBuilding";
                accuracy = 0.2;
        };

                       
};

Code:

#define _ARMA_

//Class rth_wind_turbines : config.bin{
class CfgPatches
{
        class 1al_bridge
        {
                units[] = {"1al_bridge1"};
                weapons[] = {};

        };

I've been working on a custom set to shoot a small video, and I need one key feature that does not currently work. I have a TV mounted on the wall which I want to configure as a hidden selection texture so I can switch what it displays. I followed as much on tutorials as I could, but when I attempt to add anything at all, it does not work.

Now, I textured that TV screen to always show a background image, but I cannot get the thing to display any other textures. I named the hidden selection "screen".

I'm currently trying to create a multi material rvmat file for a model but struggling to get my head around it.

What i have done is start again from scratch with a test model. I made a small cube in 3dsmax and applied a texture to each side (box_Green, box_blue etc) and then exported the model as a 3ds file, preserving uv co-ordinates. I then imported this into Oxygen 2.

What i would usually do is update all paths that are asking for box_blue.tga and box_Green.tga to "ca\addonname\data\boxblue.paa" but this is of course not how the multimaterial file works.

I've created the RVMAt from Mondkalb's tutorial, and updated my first few fields relating to the 'color' of the mask to the appropiate color of the box material
i.e stage 2 = green box texture

I then select the entire model, and remove any material file refernce, and point to my rvmat file. It sits in the folder with the rest of the convered paa files.

I then go to O2 and open the Uv editor, and can see my nicely positioned UV in a small box for the model, i create a new later (UVSet 1) and flatten the box, so its unwrapped and ready to 'fold' back up again.

I export this to EMF and then into InfranView, then to Photoshop, i color the document with red, green, blue and black. I save this back out to a tga, then export to .paa file and place back into the folder with the other rvmat file, hoping that it will see this reference in the rvmat, look up the uv set and then assign the required texture to each color

class Stage4
{
texture="ca\testasset\data\box_mask.paa";
texGen="4";
};

The result is a black box, no texture of any kind, even tried swapping the UV sets over so 1 becomes 0 and vice versa but still not seeing any texture.

I hope i've included everything, but if someone could help me, that would be just perfect. Maybe i just miss something out?

Also

i have looked att amny tutorials and i haven't got any help from it.
So to put it in steps:

1. Make a copy of the A-10 (USMC faction if it matters) that is seperate ingame from the original so i can work on mine, its gonna be called A-10 (GW), so how do i rename it after i cloned it?
2. How do i pack it correctly and how do i add a bisign, bikey and make sure it doesn't occupy the current A-10's slot (configs and all that)
3. Probably more help as i try. ]]> calantlar http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154328-Help-with-making-a-NEW-unit-with-a-custom-texture A hat problem... http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154010-A-hat-problem&goto=newpost Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:43:28 GMT Hello!

As you can see there are pouches in the ground however... The pouches should of be in on the model's back as they are on the model -

Second problem is the beret, can you see it? yap for some reason it is in the model's crouch but as in oxygen it is on the head level... Could anyone help me out here?

EDIT:

I managed to fix it! didnt know selection can cause that :P however I do have one problem with shadowlod which I find... irritating
