problems with my first model addon.

[NITRO65]

that awsome good stuff GNATT, too funny like i wrote before heh newbie hehehehe but on a serious note i still cant seem to get animations to work, when I middle mouse click or even in game, im stumped. also my insrument panel it seems something about it cant open the co.paa file i made even tho i put it in the texture window directory ?

Okay Back AT It , still having issues with the animations not showing up in Buldozer, this is what i have so Far ! When I try to open it up in Buldozer i Get Error NO Entry 'bin\config.cpp.CfgSkeletons'. ??? this is For arma2 guys !
Model.cfg !

class CfgSkeletons
{
    class Vehicle;
        class FAB_Boat:Vehicle

        {
            "vrtule",
                          "" ,
            "volant"
        };
    };

        class Ship;
    class FAB_Boat:Ship

        sections[]=

class CfgSkeletons
{
class Vehicle;
class FAB_Boat:Vehicle

class Ship;
class FAB_Boat:Ship
{
sectionsInherit="";
skeletonName="FAB_BoatSkeleton";

skeleton name is wrong at first glance.

and

skeletonInherit="FAB_Boat";

it isnt inheriting anything unless you have more model.cfg ?

[NITRO65]

okay so I named my project originally FAB_Boat in p\drive \armawork folder. should i change that ? more model cfg ? sorry im relly noob at this no experiance at all .

@NITRO65

please make use of the code tags when posting scripts or configs, it makes the post easier readable. You might click on edit of your post to see how it is done. Thank you.

Am i suppose to be using the model config editor in the tools section of o2? If so i wish there was a tutorial on that

[[APS]Gnat]

MODEL.CFG is just a text file. No, don't (well .... I've never) use the config editor thats part of O2. I use the same editor I use for CONFIG.CPP
So long as the (one and only) MODEL.CFG file is in the same directory as the P3D file, then when you load your P3D into O2, the model.cfg will automatically load also.
NOTES:
- If you edit your MODEL.CFG while O2 is open, Buldozer will likely NOT update animations. I usually a) open any other p3d file, b) close, c) reopen your main p3d file.
- As I already mentioned, your Class CFGModels must, MUST contain the same name as your P3D file name.
e.g.

class CfgModels
{
    class Ship;
    class FAB_Boat:Ship
...
... 

Your P3D file MUST be called "FAB_Boat.p3d"

[NITRO65]

thanks Gnat, For some reason cant seem to get my animations to load into buldozer , However i do have the the p3d file as the same name FAB_Boat !

[[APS]Gnat]

Suspect its failing quietly in the background due to a lot of error

memory="false";
Thats not the way you use it (and you havent defined false anyway).
Simply replace with
memory=0;

class vrtule: Rotation
You didnt predefine "Rotation"
and you dont need to
Just do
class vrtule {

skeletonName="FAB_BoatSkeleton"
There is no FAB_BoatSkeleton defined !!
Instead you have
class CfgSkeletons
{
class Vehicle;
class FAB_Boat

Needs fixing

[TheNewGuy]

had a problem with that too i just flipped it and it seemed to work
