Faulty Config.cpp for my rifle mod.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

Hi

I have a config containing two weapons, i have two separate p3ds of those weapons, two sepparate pictures, and everithing but in game only the first weapon appears.

I use :

this addWeaponCargoGlobal ["CZ805_A1_HOLO_ACR",4];
this addWeaponCargoGlobal ["CZ805_A1_ACOG_ACR",4];

To spawn the two rifles in a box, but instead of having 4pcs of the acog version and 4 pcs of the holo version i always end up with 8pcs of the acog version in the box.

Here is the config.cpp:

class CfgAddons
{
	class PreloadAddons
	{
		class CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG
		{
			list[] = {"CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG"};
		};
	};
};
class CfgPatches
{
	class CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG
	{
		requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons_ACR"};
		requiredVersion = 1.00;
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
	};
};
class CfgWeapons
{
	class CZ805_A1_ACR;
	class CZ805_A1_ACOG_ACR : CZ805_A1_ACR
	{
		displayName = "$STR_MREK_CZ805acg";
		model = "\CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG\CZ_805_A1_ACOG";
		modelOptics = "\Ca\weapons_E\SCAR\ACOG_TA31_optic_4x.p3d";
		picture = "\CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG\w_805A1acg_ca.paa";

		class OpticsModes
		{
			class ACOG
			{
				cameraDir = "";
				distanceZoomMax = 300;
				distanceZoomMin = 300;
				memoryPointCamera = "opticView";
				opticsDisablePeripherialVision = 1;
				opticsFlare = 1;
				opticsID = 1;
				opticsPPEffects[] = {
					"OpticsCHAbera1",
					"OpticsBlur1"
				};
				opticsZoomInit = 0.0623;
				opticsZoomMax = 0.0623;
				opticsZoomMin = 0.0623;
				useModelOptics = 1;
				visionMode[] = {
					"Normal"
				};
			};
			class Kolimator : ACOG
			{
				memoryPointCamera = "eye";
				opticsDisablePeripherialVision = 0;
				opticsFlare = 0;
				opticsID = 2;
				opticsZoomInit = 0.5;
				opticsZoomMax = 1.1;
				opticsZoomMin = 0.25;
				useModelOptics = 0;
				visionMode[] = {};
			};
		};
	};
	
	class CZ805_A1_HOLO_ACR : CZ805_A1_ACR
	{
		displayName = "$STR_MREK_CZ805holo";
		model = "\CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG\CZ_805_A1_HOLO";
		modelOptics = "-";
		picture = "\CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG\w_805A1holo_ca.paa";

		class OpticsModes
		{
			
			class Kolimator : ACOG
			{
				memoryPointCamera = "eye";
				opticsDisablePeripherialVision = 0;
				opticsFlare = 0;
				opticsID = 2;
				opticsZoomInit = 0.5;
				opticsZoomMax = 1.1;
				opticsZoomMin = 0.25;
				useModelOptics = 0;
				visionMode[] = {};
			};
		};
	};
};

I have no idea what iam doing i coppied other guys config made for single weapon, and changed just the things i needed, and doubled part of it to get config for two weapons. Wich things to change i figured by trial and error. So i still have no idea what iam doing.

I've only just got into addon configs so I'm definitely the worst person to be offering advice.

I wanted to rename ACE and BIS weapons to British designations, after a lot of trial and error I got there... Kind of.

I kept getting error messages saying "XXXXXX already defined". After a good nights rest I came up with the idea of making separate pbo's within my addon.

So...

Put

class CfgPatches
{
	class CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG
	{
		requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons_ACR"};
		requiredVersion = 1.00;
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
	};
};
class CfgWeapons
{
	class CZ805_A1_ACR;
	class CZ805_A1_ACOG_ACR : CZ805_A1_ACR
	{
		displayName = "$STR_MREK_CZ805acg";
		model = "\CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG\CZ_805_A1_ACOG";
		modelOptics = "\Ca\weapons_E\SCAR\ACOG_TA31_optic_4x.p3d";
		picture = "\CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG\w_805A1acg_ca.paa";

		class OpticsModes
		{
			class ACOG
			{
				cameraDir = "";
				distanceZoomMax = 300;
				distanceZoomMin = 300;
				memoryPointCamera = "opticView";
				opticsDisablePeripherialVision = 1;
				opticsFlare = 1;
				opticsID = 1;
				opticsPPEffects[] = {
					"OpticsCHAbera1",
					"OpticsBlur1"
				};
				opticsZoomInit = 0.0623;
				opticsZoomMax = 0.0623;
				opticsZoomMin = 0.0623;
				useModelOptics = 1;
				visionMode[] = {
					"Normal"
				};
			};
			class Kolimator : ACOG
			{
				memoryPointCamera = "eye";
				opticsDisablePeripherialVision = 0;
				opticsFlare = 0;
				opticsID = 2;
				opticsZoomInit = 0.5;
				opticsZoomMax = 1.1;
				opticsZoomMin = 0.25;
				useModelOptics = 0;
				visionMode[] = {};
			};
		};
	};
};

in a folder called CZ805_A1_ACOG and PBO it.

Then put

class CfgPatches
{
	class CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG
	{
		requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons_ACR"};
		requiredVersion = 1.00;
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
	};
};
class CfgWeapons
{
	class CZ805_A1_ACR;
	class CZ805_A1_HOLO_ACR : CZ805_A1_ACR
	{
		displayName = "$STR_MREK_CZ805holo";
		model = "\CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG\CZ_805_A1_HOLO";
		modelOptics = "-";
		picture = "\CorePatch_CZ805_A1_ACOG\w_805A1holo_ca.paa";

		class OpticsModes
		{
			
			class Kolimator : ACOG
			{
				memoryPointCamera = "eye";
				opticsDisablePeripherialVision = 0;
				opticsFlare = 0;
				opticsID = 2;
				opticsZoomInit = 0.5;
				opticsZoomMax = 1.1;
				opticsZoomMin = 0.25;
				useModelOptics = 0;
				visionMode[] = {};
			};
		};
	};
};

in a folder called CZ805_A1_HOLO_ACR and PBO it.

I hope this is useful in some way.

I'll keep an eye on this post as I think this could help me in the future.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

Hey fellow noob Modder, Thanks For your help I separated the mod to two different PBOS but it didnt help. The second rifle doesnt exist as far as the game is concerned. Since iam a compleeet noob, i cant tell why for sure. but i thing

class Kolimator : ACOG
			{
				memoryPointCamera = "eye";
				opticsDisablePeripherialVision = 0;
				opticsFlare = 0;
				opticsID = 2;
				opticsZoomInit = 0.5;
				opticsZoomMax = 1.1;
				opticsZoomMin = 0.25;
				useModelOptics = 0;
				visionMode[] = {};

Is a problem but i tried to change it to

class Kolimator : HOLO
			{
				memoryPointCamera = "eye";
				opticsDisablePeripherialVision = 0;
				opticsFlare = 0;
				opticsID = 2;
				opticsZoomInit = 0.5;
				opticsZoomMax = 1.1;
				opticsZoomMin = 0.25;
				useModelOptics = 0;
				visionMode[] = {};

But that aslo didnt help.

It says undefined class HOLO

Iam lost :D

Ill try some more on my own, and if i fail, ill message Maczer or Shatten. They saved me few times with this mod allready, Withut Shatten this mod wouldnt even start to exist, and Without Maczer i would never have working Sights on that rifle, they might not be too annoyed with me yet so ill try to ask them for help once more. :)

Maff · October 8, 2014

Damn, I'm lost too!

I've been looking through the weapon configs in A2SM_Data_APL and I don't see a class for a HOLO sight anywhere.

I hope you get there in the end.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

Solved!

class CfgAddons
{
	class PreloadAddons
	{
		class BL_CZ805_A1_HOLO
		{
			list[] = {"BL_CZ805_A1_HOLO"};
		};
	};
};
class CfgPatches
{
	class BL_CZ805_A1_HOLO
	{
		requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons_ACR"};
		requiredVersion = 1.00;
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
	};
};
class CfgWeapons
{
	class CZ805_A1_ACR;
	class CZ805_A1_HOLO_ACR : CZ805_A1_ACR
	{
		displayName = "$STR_MREK_CZ805holo";
		model = "\BL_CZ805_A1_Holo\CZ_805_A1_HOLO";
		modelOptics = "-";
		picture = "\BL_CZ805_A1_Holo\w_805A1holo_ca.paa";

		class OpticsModes
		{
			class Kolimator
			{
				opticsID = 1;
				useModelOptics = false;
				opticsPPEffects[] = {"OpticsCHAbera1","OpticsBlur1"};
				opticsZoomMin = 0.25;
				opticsZoomMax = 1.1;
				opticsZoomInit = 0.5;
				memoryPointCamera = "eye";
				visionMode[] = {};
				opticsFlare = false;
				opticsDisablePeripherialVision = false;
				distanceZoomMin = 100;
				distanceZoomMax = 100;
				cameraDir = "";
			};
		};
	};
};

I copied config cpp. from bis sample models and changed few things.

Gun Now works, problem is, HOLO sights are too big and look too ugly on CZ805 so i will probably replace them With Meopta MRAD from Scorpion EVO model.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

So the HOLO version is working nice and easy now, except some minor issue with texture. Now iam working on CZ805A1ACOG GL. everything wors except a major issue with gear. The weapon shows itself in Ammobox with name picture and everything. Both sights are working Gun Shoots, GL shoots, Textures are working, But when i equip it, it doesnt appear in my gear. I have it in hands, i can use it, but i dont see it in gear, i cannot throw it away, etc.

Also could anyone explain to me the lines in Config.CPP in human language?

Here is the Config:

class CfgAddons

	class PreloadAddons
	{

	};

	class BL_CZ_RIFLES //This tells the game the name of the mod?
	{

Hello, again.

I'm not sure why the weapon isn't showing up in your gear.

Looking through a couple of weapon addons I noticed that there is no .paa at the end of picture.

Try - picture = "\BL_CZ_RIFLES\w_805A1acg_ca";

As for explaining the lines in Config.cpp in human language - I've taken a shot at it.

Also bear in mind I'm brand new at this.

class CfgAddons
{
	class PreloadAddons
	{
		class BL_CZ_RIFLES
		{
			list[] = {"BL_CZ_RIFLES"}; // No idea if this is needed. This is telling Arma to load this addon before any other addons?? 
		};
	};
};
class CfgPatches // this i gues says the game that the actual mod starts here right?
{
	class BL_CZ_RIFLES // I believe this tells arma the name of the mod, yes.
	{
		requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons_ACR"}; //this tells the game that ACR DLC is needed to run the mod
		requiredVersion = 1.00; // Minimum game version required - I have all my addons with requiredVersion = 1.6;
		units[] = {}; // Not sure - For vehicle addons, to tell what units need to be in vehicle?
		weapons[] = {}; //Not sure - For unit & vehicle addons, to tell what weapons need to be equipped by unit(s) or vehicle?

Thanks Mate, much clearer now i see some of them i should have guessed. Might be getting dumb.

I resolved the issue with the CZ805A1ACOG GL. it now equips properly and picture and name is shown properly. the problem was

 "scope = public;"

line in the config. i deleted this lineand everithing works now.

Except the bullets doesnt dissapier in the transparent magazine, and muzzleflash is present constantly even i i dont shoot.

Here is a picture of my first 3 rifles:

2473050EEE16091B3945379BA2461173B03940CC

the top one with the Grenade launcher still has issues, the second and third one works fine.

Mirek · July 13, 2013

O it seems iam a bit lost again. With the CZ805ACOG with GL.

I have still the problem with the Muzzleflash. The muzzleflash is present all the time. even if the gun doesnt shoot. Any idea what might cause this?

Maff · October 8, 2014

Nice work so far!

It's a shame there hasn't been more advice in this thread.

I've seen something similar to this on a vehicle mod a long time ago where the mounted GPMG's showed a constant muzzle flash even if they were unoccupied.

I don't have a clue why this happened. The only answers I got were; "It's a bug." or "It's F*CKED!".

Would you be willing to send me a link to your addon so I can take a closer look?

Mirek · July 13, 2013

I can send you the raw data: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4zH9uTqIwylOWVMQTBLa0hteVk&usp=sharing

But promise me you wont steal it and release it as your ow addon. :lol:

(Iam kidding of course, WHo would steal unfinished barely working addon?)

Maff · October 8, 2014

haha I'll wait until it's fixed before I steal it. :D Just joking.

I done a little searching and found this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Muzzle_Flash_Bug

I'm not sure if it is at all helpful.

I'm almost at a loss but I haven't given up YET though!

Mirek · July 13, 2013

I AM AN COMPLETE STUPID IDIOT!!!!!!

I forgot Underscroll in code in model.cfg instead of CZ_805_A1_GL_ACOG i got CZ805_A1_GL_ACOG

Problem solved.

Thank you man.

Faulty Config.cpp for my rifle mod.
