Making a flag with new shape?

[granQ 293]

Trying to make a flag with new shape (actually mostly one that supports transparent textures), anyone knows how the model.cfg should look like?

The flags in the Arma 2 sample models pack (\A2SM_Data_APL\Wheeled\CA\Wheeled\flag_alone.p3d and \A2SM_Data_APL\Wheeled\CA\Wheeled\flag_AUTO.p3d) only seem to have the following properties in the model.cfg:

class cfgModels
{
	class Flag;
	class Flag_alone: Flag
	{
		sections[] = {"latka"};
		vertexSelections[]={"latka"};
	};
	class FLAG_auto: Flag
	{
		sections[] = {"latka"};
		vertexSelections[]={"latka"};
	};
};

The most interesting parts are the named properties inside the .p3d which appear to describe the size of the flag plane and how it is subdivided:

xsize = 0.99
ysize = 0.52
xcount = 6
y count = 5

I assume this is used to create some sort of automated, "random" animation matrix of the vertex points, in the manner of a flag blowing in the wind.

 

Named selections are all in Czech so I conclude the flag simulation is pretty "legacy" stuff from the OFP/Arma 1 era.

 

Latka = "cloth"

Pevne = "firm/fixed" I assume this is because this selection corresponds to the verts on the hoist side, which would be under tension

Volne = "loose"

Zbytek = "the rest"

Have you made any progress on this?
