Glasses in description.ext

[nominesine]

Doesanyone know the names of the glasses/sunglasses/etc to be used in ArmA2. The game looks for them in a file named cfgGlasses. The only working entry I have managed to put together so far is:

Code: [Select]

class CfgIdentities
{
class p11
{
name = "Sarge";
face = "Face33";
glasses = "spectacles";
speaker = "male1";
pitch = 1.00;
};

Edit: typo

Code: [Select]

class CfgGlasses
{
 class None
 {
  scope = 2;
  name = "$STR_CFG_GLASSES_NONE";
  model = "";
  identityTypes[] = {"NoGlasses",1,"Civ_Glasses",882,"USMC_Glasses",825,"FR_Glasses",9,"RU_Glasses",939,"CDF_Glasses",930,"INS_Glasses",955,"Gue_Glasses",930,"pilot_sunglasses",8};
 };
 class Spectacles: None
 {
  name = "$STR_CFG_GLASSES_SPECTACLES";
  model = "\Ca\characters\glasses\Spectacles";
  identityTypes[] = {"Civ_Glasses",50,"USMC_Glasses",20,"CDF_Glasses",40,"Gue_Glasses",40,"INS_Glasses",20,"RU_Glasses",1,"Spectacles_Glasses",1};
 };
 class RoundGlasses: None
 {
  name = "$STR_CFG_GLASSES_READING";
  model = "\Ca\characters\glasses\RoundGlasses";
  identityTypes[] = {"Civ_Glasses",50,"CDF_Glasses",5,"Gue_Glasses",10,"INS_Glasses",5,"Reading_Glasses",1};
 };
 class Sunglasses: None
 {
  name = "$STR_CFG_GLASSES_AVIATOR_SUNGLASSES";
  model = "\Ca\characters\glasses\sunGlasses";
  identityTypes[] = {"Civ_SunGlasses",10,"USMC_Glasses",30,"CDF_Glasses",20,"Gue_Glasses",20,"INS_Glasses",20,"RU_Glasses",40,"aviator_sunglases",1,"pilot_sunglasses",2};
 };
 class Tactical: None
 {
  name = "$STR_CFG_GLASSES_TACTICAL";
  model = "\Ca\characters\glasses\TacticalGlasses";
  identityTypes[] = {"USMC_Glasses",100,"CDF_Glasses",5,"RU_Glasses",20,"Tactical_Glasses",1,"FR_Glasses",1};

 class BlackSun: None

 class GreenSun: BlueSun
 {

  model = "\Ca\characters\glasses\GreenSun";
 };

Next question. Whats the proper structure for an identity entry in the description.ext these days? The following version works, but gives an error message regarding glasses (no entry cfgGlasses). It's possible to click OK and continue, and the spectables show up alright in game.

class CfgIdentities
{
   class p11
   {
      name = "Sarge";
      face = "Face33";
      glasses = "spectacles";
      speaker = "male1";
      pitch = 1.00;
   };

Ignorethe bold face typing. Those are my entries and they are working. It's the template that causes an error. I suspect that ArmA2 would prefer something else than glasses = "spectacles"; in the third paragraph. But what?

[Planck]

cfgIdentities looks right according to the games entries....for example:

 class Miles
 {
  name = "Miles";
  face = "Default";
  glasses = "BlackSun";
  speaker = "Male02EN";
  pitch = 1;
 };

Maybe the glasses text (sunglasses) is case sensitive and needs to start with a capital 'S'...though I doubt it, but stranger things are possible.

No, it's not case-sensitive. The example works fine here (but only if you add the missing curly bracket at the end...)

Code: [Select]

class CfgIdentities
{
   class p11
   {
      name = "Sarge";
      face = "Face33";
      glasses = "spectacles";
      speaker = "male1";
      pitch = 1.00;
   };
};

BTW: "male1" will give an error in the RPT. Use "Male01EN" instead.

The curly bracket is there in the full entry. I just didn't paste into the forum. Maybe it was the voice who caused a problem?

About this fabled rpt-report. Where and how do I find it?

[Worldeater]

Depends on your OS. See http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/arma.rpt#Location

Thank you worldeater. I've been wondering about that for quite some time now.
