1.46-->1.75

[Powerslide]

Ok, here is the problem. For our Mcmillan sniper rifle add on (http://www.operationnorthstar.com this is the problem. Now, if the person has 1.46 only and not resistance they can put the add on in 1.46 add ons folder and the add on works fine BUT if 1.75 is installed and you put it in regular 1.46 add ons folder and launch 1.46, when you place the unit in editor to preview it, the game crashes. If you launch it in 1.75 though it works fine even though it's in the 1.46 add dons folder. It's driving me nuts because I can't find the problem. Essentially we want it to be able to go in 1.46 folder and work in both versions. Here is the config. Any help would be great.

I know next to nothing about cpp making, but I don't see why someone would use .46 when they have resis. installed.  I personally have all 3rd party addons in the ofp/addons and the official one in res/addons, so 1.46 couldn't really run with all the newer addons I have.

[Powerslide]

What? Some add ons are resistance only, and we want the Mcmillan compatible with 1.46...so I really don't know what you're talking about.

[Jahve]

when you are talking about 1.46 or 1.75 compativble addons, you simply change the number digits in

requiredVersion = 1.46   or  1.75

Most res-addons work either better or only with resistance, beacuse of the improvements to the engine.

[Powerslide]

If you note the config.cpp it is rated for version 1.01

Try commenting out this line:


class CfgModels
{
                class Default{};
                class Weapon: Default{};
//              class CAF_Mcmillan: Weapon{};
};

Use the BiS binarising tool, now that is available!!! With it you will get a smaller .P3D (in ODOL format, so (almost ) noone can open your model), and you wont need two versions of the same addon any more! WHY? Because with ODOL .P3D, OFP 1.46 can also swallow that cfgModels .CPP definition without crashig! TESTED and it works!
