Attempting workaround for hidden selections that don't apply. (Think Huron, some CSAT vehicles, etc.) 1) Made new "TextureSources" class as a test for custom faction. 2) New class is obviously working in game and can be applied from list. 3) New class does not apply to vehicle by default despite being only item in list, defaults to original Sand texture from inherited vehicle. 4) Have to manually select new class for every vehicle put down in editor. Don't want to do that every time for multiple vehicles. 5) I want the vehicle to use new class as default when placed in editor. 6) Want to apply texture by default through CfgVehicles. Know this is possible because I did it years ago but lost the code. Must be an event handler in vehicle config with "BIS_fnc_initVehicle" function in "init =" or something? Looked at OEM configs and found nothing. No idea how to accomplish this because user is an artist and not a programmer.

Hey everyone, I got a real quick question. So, I've started making a lot of custom factions with the ORBAT tool, and I'm looking to create custom camo for different uniforms in order to make certain factions for my unit's campaigns. To get to the question itself, I've extracted the .paa file from the .pbo, I've converted it into a .png using TexView 2 from ArmA 3 Tools, and now I'm stuck at Photoshop since there are no templates that I've found I ran into a problem. I tried using Overlay to apply my camo to the .png, I removed the boots, belt, and whatnot using selection so they don't get affected. But my problem is this, whenever I apply my fairly bright camo to the darker variant from RHS, it darkens my camo, basically ruining it, the old camo is still very much so visible below it and all the little details like the folds and stretching in the clothing, where the clothing bundles up and the stitches all of it just is either barely visible or gone. From what I saw I seem to need a template to properly do this, so I can apply my camo over theirs, but I haven't found a template. I know people have managed to retexture before and I asked RHS but they say they can't provide the .PSD files which I completely understand. So is there a way for me to retexture this and how did the other people do it, since I was quite a few retextures both big mods and small private ones.

Hi, I tried to do a mod with some retextured skins. The mod I used as a base worked bine, but the stats of the plate carriers were way off. They had no ballistic protection what soever. I tried to access the files but nothing would work. Even my friend who knows how to mod was unable to access it. (he's a map developer not an addon developer) Now comes the part where noone is going to help me: Could anyone please make this "mod" work? All I need is the config files because I failed miseabely at writing them myself. I am on the edge of just throwing everything into the bin and calling it a day. In the case anyone actually is going to help me, please write me and email and i will send you the files that I have. Have a great day neither way.

I have made a retextured version of a weapon, the KAC PDW by Robert Hammer. I want to make this into its own mod, or at least make it so that both my retextured version and the original version can be added into the game at the same time. Currently, when I add the original and the retextured version, the retextured version "overrides" the original, and it also does not let me add attachments or change the fire rate. I would be very grateful if someone knew how to fix this.

I'm trying to retexture the AAF officer but I'm running into difficulties with my config. I've defined the hidden selections and the their locations but still my retexture fails to appear - I end up with an invisible chested guy (although the trousers appear). I've professionally (!) retextured original .paa file to a Grenadier Guard as one can see. I've posted my config below for anyone who can spot the issue. I apologize in advance for any obvious mistakes - this is my first shot at retexturing in A3! My config

Up until now, I've been able to retexture plate carriers for NATO without a problem. However, after the Personal Protection update rolled out on devbranch, I haven't been able to change textures for the "V_PlateCarrier1_rgr", "V_PlateCarrier2_rgr", "V_PlateCarrierGL_rgr", and "V_PlateCarrierSpec_rgr".

When applying text to a Strider template in Photoshop CS6, the text appeared correctly on one side and upside down on the other side in-game, however I found no fix to make both sides correctly orientated. Any help would be appreciated.
