ECP 1.085 released!

[Mikero]

the definition alone is sufficient. That's the purpose of the macro. If you will excuse me for saying so, you're getting confused by thinking you then also have to do something in each occurence to tweak the 'events' happening. That's exact purpose of the new macro. It causes them to behave 'normally' (which I assume is what you want), without you touching anything else.

np Mikero,
i know the (my) confusion but i didn't have, and still don't have an idea why the macro with the redefinition doesn't work.

Did you state requiredaddons[] ={"whatever the name of the class inside the pbo"}, inside the cfgpatches in the config. It will make sure the original pbo is loaded before yours. Otherwise addons defines may overwrite yours.

So it will look something like this:

Code: [Select]

class CfgPatches
{
   class MY_Keg_Units
   {
      requiredaddons[] = {keg_Units};
      requiredVersion = 1.85;
   };
};

where the original looks something like this:

Code: [Select]

class CfgPatches
{
   class Keg_Units
   {
      requiredaddons[] = {BIS_Resistance};
      requiredVersion = 1.85;
//etc.
   };
};

Thanks MachoMan,
yep, i actually didn't state the required addon.
So I was pretty confident that it definitely would do the trick.
Unfortunately it does not :-\

Here the code of the config i made.
Its called keg_units_snow.pbo and i put it into the addons folder of the ECP mod:

Code: [Select]

#define EVENT_INJURE Mikero=0
#define EVENT_DESTROY Mikero=0
class CfgPatches
{
   class KEG_units_ECP{

      units[]={"KEGSSoldierWG36a", <all remaining KEG units listed here> };
      requiredVersion = 1.85;
      requiredAddons[]={"KEGnoecain_snow"};      
   };
};
any suggestions still very appreciated

Gee, I'm getting into territory where Mr Planck will give me a few deserved slaps for getting it wrong but, you have immediate issues.

you can't define the *same* units[]= in two separate pbo's.

the effect of nullifying EVENTS is ignored in the required pbo (it uses it's own definition)

I assume? your mission sqm addons[]= points only to your addon and shouldn't make any reference to the original.

I fail to see the purpose of referencing the orginal at all!!!

There is an error in the original specifically SNOW_ENVIRON_SOUND should not have a semicolon at end of it and it buggers the context when it is used.

as far as I can see, what I would do, is:

change your mission.sqm to refer *only* to your patched version. Make a complete copy of the original and only alter the #define EVENTS as you have done.

make no reference to the original, in your new patched version.

do not have BOTH pbo's accessible to the ofp engine during mission design. It is garanteed to get the wrong one via murphy's law.

Hi all

We love the ECP mod and we'd like to add your burning tank crew script to the recently released FFUR mod which we are testing.  Is this at all possible and if it is is how can we do it?

Hope you can help!?

Many thanks
Steiner

Hi guys, I have been looking forward to this and I have to say that I'm impressed.

I have two questions.

Which is the better sound pack? the dynamic or the original?

Also how do I set the details to high permanently?. I spend alot of time making missions and everytime I restart a mission the in game dialog box resets all the settings to low.
