this was helpful but you skipped so many little steps that left so many questions. i would suggest that future videos include every step of the way. so many noobs out there trying this for the first time like me have no idea what we're doing and leaving the "simple" stuff out makes it feel like an even more daunting task. thanks again. hope for more vids
Brilliant. Also good to note is that in the folder before where you got the texture from, the config.cpp file is there you can go to check for what the order of hiddenSelections are for the object, or if they are assigned (ie for in the case of the plate carrier vest).
Why do some have a parent class of ColorBase? Like the Cargo Pants in the example in this video, and the Plate Character Vest has a parent class of clothing? How would I know what parent class I need?
Hello, Great tutorial it helped me out a lot. I do have one issue that you may be able to help with though. When I retexture a T-Shirt it comes out fine in game however the characters arms turn completely white. Do you have any tips or any idea as to what causes that?
I enjoy this but some things you go way to fast and i can not see what you are clicking. I do pause and re-watch a few times to get it, but would be nice if you did slow down just a little for any future videos thanks so much for taking the time to do this though very helpful

how do you edit\view the original files of the game for personal visual mods... i extracted into P;Drive and tried opening P3d files in object viewer. it says error cant open Binarized file
how do you change from the cargo pants entries to say a hoodie as its a hoodie i want to retexture i see there is entries for cargo pants but i dont know what to write to change that entire for a hoodie
How would I go about making something like a VIP drybag, with say 1,000 inventory slots instead of the usual. Can you use this tool to increase inventory of times?
whats the prefix or how do we find the right prefix to put in as my prefix section is blank and i can see your prefix section has something in it for now i cant get this to work when i go in to offline mode and search for my item it isnt there could this be because my prefix is empty

I am receiving a error message every time I attempt to upload the mod onto the launcher. "There are no PBOs or EBOs in the Addons folder inside the mod folder."
@@MatthewLongtime Got that squared away, or so I thought. Now when attempting to launch the game, I am receiving the following error message. "You were kicked off the game. (Client contains PBO which is not part of server data.)
Hey so I've done this whole process over several different times with a few config templates. Everything always ends up pretty much the same. I'm able to pack, sign, and publish with no problems every time. Keeping in mind i can't get offline to work, some world script vignette error, so i just publish it to put it on my dayz lan server to test. I download my own mod from steam, install it and the key. In launcher it shows it's loaded on the server, but in launching I get kicked for client having a pbo which is not on the server. Well over a dozen times in the last week. I can't even find anyone in discord who has a solution. Where am I going wrong ?
@@MatthewLongtime Oh wow lol. Thank you. Do I have to be on my own server or can i just have the game running? If you couldn't tell ive never done this before. So it will be a process for me. Thanks for the help. Ive made all our ads and loadscreens but this is much different.
Got it i runned Steam as Admin before i changed that restarted my pc and now its working :D. Sry i dont know if that question was asked before but what program are you using for opening the Paa files ? TextureViewer ?@@MatthewLongtime
Dang it its not working :( My mate said that the coding is wrong becouse of an major update last year 2023 december there where a lot of changes @@MatthewLongtime
does anyone know how to add your custom outfit when the respaw player, like he already comes with this outfit, is it at INIT.C ?? if it is which parameter
Followed exactly how you done it but you just skip how to load the mods and what it should look like. Please actually show how you do each step instead of just saying it
The reason why i dont show is because i have other videos doing it, guaranteed these video can be a bit jumpy the new ones i made are 10/10 though! Join my discord for more info!
Hi Matthew wonder if You could help. I've got abandoned mod which was left about 6 years ago unotuched... I followed Your videos and got it packed and signed. And it's working in community offline mode with no issues I can spawn the items I've created. But. I can't get it working as a mod.... Whatever I do the server wont start with this mod installed.

put this line under scope in the config files , edit to your requirements

great stuff but you need to slow it down a little for people who dont know what they are doing or havnt done this before
Would you go about changing camo nets to different colors (like white for snow maps) the same way?
Not to sure I think it is a bit different though
