BushWars Mod

[supergruntsb78]

I think that people are using older versions of our helicopters, I have changed and updated the pilot model. That problem referes to a retextured ArmA model we first used.

The new helicopters (Alouette II and III and the Puma) still have the requirement for the old outdated pilot models written into the config. I still had the old pilot file BWC_Helipilot.pbo installed until quite recently and didn't get the error, but since removing it the error appears.

If you look at CfgPatches, you can see that the old pilot is still defined as a required addon, as opposed to the new one:

Quote[/b] ]class CfgPatches {
class bwc_puma330 {
units[] = {"bwc_puma330_c", "bwc_puma330_l"};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 1;
requiredAddons[] = {"bwc_star", "bwc_helipilot"};
version = 1;
};

Change it to the new pilot addon 'BWC_Pilots' and the error goes away.

well i changed the bwc_helipilot to bwc_pilots ***and voila not working ***i get an error about a *** *** *** "" encountered instead of = *** *** *** ***something like that on lin 883 ? ***with the alouIII

and the same problem with the puma but on line 750

both have to deal with a door_r

so that doesn't seem to work

class CfgPatches {
*** class bwc_puma330 {
*** *** ***units[] = {"bwc_puma330_c", "bwc_puma330_l"};
*** *** ***weapons[] = {};
*** *** ***requiredVersion = 1;
*** *** ***requiredAddons[] = {"bwc_star", bwc_helipilot"};
*** *** ***version = 1;
*** };

maybe you forgot to add this ?

[supergruntsb78]

so when i only change the name of a addon dependency i have to place an extra bracket ?

i didn&#39;t change anything else but the name of bwc_helipilots to bwc pilots

ill try it

[khayes]

no, you don&#39;t have to add another bracket for each addon required.
i just pointed out that in your quote, a bracket was missing, the one which closes the "class cfgpatches".

sorry if i wasn&#39;t clear

[supergruntsb78]

the quote was posted earlier i just copied it to make clear to what i was responding

i checked and the bracket is even there so now i am out of ideas

so anybody can help me on the problem described before then please

[Messiah]

if you post up the entire config that you modified, then perhaps we could check it over, rather than sitting here guessing.

[da12thMonkey]

Did you delete the original config.bin file from the folder (keeping your modified config.cpp obviously) before repacking the .pbo? The two files may be conflicting eachother if you haven&#39;t.

I have no such problem with the modified version I have.

OK guys, I have fixed up the config error and will upload the helicopters end of the month with our first set of weapons and units. I was not getting that error (don&#39;t know why) that was before the BIS 1.09 beta update, none of the team got that error either that is why I uploaded them.

@ Miles Teg

I am busy with the weapons pack right now as well as some units, 32 Battalion, SADF and SWAPO. I will also be releasing at a later stage the Buffel, SAMIL20 and Ratel add-ons as well as various others used in the Bush War. Just that our team is Small so it does take time to complete everything. Most of the mod will only be released for ArmAII. In the meantime we release teasers and a small mini-mod the rest we test and get ready for ArmAII.

I also want to stress the we are not part of the previous mod which was the Bushfires Mod. All our add-ons are completely new. Although Helfish did send me some samples, they are not usable for ArmAII and I have completely remade the models from scratch. You can check our forums for WIP updates.

I am busy (on and off) with a very large Island for ArmAII which we will call "Angola" and it is a scaled down version of the Owambo Region and Southern Angola will include Cassinga to the north Cuito to the East and Rundu to the South. Berghoff is busy making an African trees Pack for this project. It is scaled down in terms of distance between towns, we aim to keep the Island historical to the conflict.

[icehollow]

I don&#39;t mean to be impatient or rude, but would I be correct in assuming we will no longer see the island that was supposed to come out last year for ArmA?

[Miles Teg]

All new models? Wow... thats a hell of alot of work. I hope they are as high quality as the OFP models (or better).
I would think that it would have been easier converting the OFP stuff, but you are the addon maker so I assume that you know best what is easiest for you (or better quality for the mod). My main point is that if you guys have enough for a small pack in ArmA, its better to release something to get people started as far as missions go. The primary reason is because the release date for ArmA2 is not set in stone so you may end up waiting a long time to release your pack and may face some nasty little surprises as far as changes in configs and model structure go. Also some players may not even switch to it if it is not significantly better then ArmA.
But again, that is your decision if you wish to wait and if you are doing everything over from scratch, then I am assuming that most of the vehicles still need to be made.

As for the OFP mod, I guess I need to go bug Hellfish about releasing what was made for OFP because that is a HUGE HUGE waste of work and effort if the Bushfires stuff made in OFP is now basically thrown away. The whole point of it not being released was that they were going to convert everything over to ArmA.
But oh well. OFP still lives on and I&#39;m going to ask him if I can at least release the beta pack I have for OFP.
Thanks for the info.
