Datsun config

**somebloke** · Jul 17 2008, 10:47

Hey guys,

Recently I took up the idea of sticking Sigma's police lightbar (Yes I have permission) onto the Original ArmA Datsun. ***I got all the texture/modelling aspect out the way. It's for a Sahrani Police addon i'm throwing round.

The problem I have now is I have no idea how to config the addon so it is in game, without overwriting it in the 'Wheeled.pbo' file.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Ok, I have no possibility of testing this so you have to try this config and see if it works (sitting on a course and is to bored of doing anything work related..

).

The config is not ready, but you can base your on this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgPatches
{
class TAG_nameofcar
{
units[] = {"TAG_nameofcar"};
weapons[] = {};
requiredAddons[]={"CAWheeled",&#34 ;CAwheeled3"};
requiredVersion = 1.00;
};
};
class CfgVehicles
{
class datsun1_civil_1_open;
class TAG_nameofcar: datsun1_civil_1_open
{
name = "name of the car as visible in the editor and game";
model = "modelname.p3d";
};
};[/QUOTE]

What you need to do is to change TAG_nameofcar to your own tag and name of preference, put the correct modelname into model = "modelname.p3d"; and find a suitable name to the car.
That should be enough to get your car ingame.

BUT FIRST you should go to www.ofpec.com and get yourself a personal tag! Its important so noone else make another datsun addon with the same name.

I hope it will work!

edit: Assumption is the moder of all f-ups, but I assume you know that you write all that into a textfile.txt that you will rename to config.cpp and put into the folder that you will make a pbo of?

Also remember to put your tag on your pbo-name..

Yeah 6 years in the OFP community has taught me about assumptions

Thanks for that bit of code, i'll see what happens

Edit, Well....the game loads but All i have now in the editor are 2 green datsuns.

Here's my config, this is really frustrating

3. probably more in it. fix 1 und 2 first

**somebloke** · Jul 17 2008, 15:52

Sorry, I'm not sure I follow what you mean.

I'm not much of a config know it all, so you'll have to explain it to me simply.

**MattXR** · Jul 17 2008, 16:39

Change your cfg.vehices into the one he posted underneith.

**somebloke** · Jul 17 2008, 16:51

Ah ok, thanks guys.

Well, that didn't work either...this is getting to be like a merry-go-round. You set it up, it goes round in circles, you take it down.

**andersson** · Jul 17 2008, 18:12

Try this one? What I did was to change all the vehicles classes to what Q and me have suggested, then I got rid of all unnecessary stuff(?). People tend to fill the configs with alot of text.. F.ex all the defines are not necessary in this case as you dont use them. Try this config as it is, no more no less. I might have something wrong, but you dont need much text.

Thank you very very much, that worked wonders.

Thanks guys, it's been a real pain getting it to work.
