So Im going to give a crack at restructuring the unsung groups so it will work with ALiVE. I remember seeing how the groups need to be formatted but can't seem to find it.

Thanks!

I belive this is what you're looking for: http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Unit_Mod_Config_Standardisation

Thanks for the replies! I think Im going to use the method you posted spyder as their configs are .bins. Do you know which pbo its located in? Also one off thing is that a lot of ALiVE seems to be encrypted which makes things tough, or Im just looking in the wrong pbos.

is there a way to just be able to edit the static without doing that? Then just repacking it and testing it like other mods? When I open the .sqf with notepad++ it looks like

Awesome thanks! I'll give it a shot and post it if it works :P

Also how would I add civilians?

I tried with unsung earlier and I think they have their own faction as they appear in the editor under their own faction when placing them down but when I tried the faction name non of them spawned.

Awesome thanks! Im nto sure what changed but after I swapped the faction name for civs in and out it worked!

So Im pretty sure I got the static for unsung vietcong done and packed it into a pbo but when I try and test it I get

"File x\alive\addons\main\script_mod.hpp, line 1: ',' ': '(a weird image of a diamond with a question mark in it)' encountered instead of ='

I didnt touch script_mod.hpp and I cant decipher that error since I think its encrypted

Awesome thanks! So that got rid of the error but when I get into arma, non of the ALiVE modules are present and Im unable to play/edit that test mission I made because it's missing all of the ALiVE components?

I'm thinking I'll need the whole non obfuscated version of all the pbos?

I would but I don't really understand how to set it up, like how do I define an ArmaWork folder, how do I use the DevP.bat and where do I get it from, what is a symlink and how do I create it, how do I clone the CBA, etc :(

Hello Marcel!

Thanks thats what I did and added it into the staticdata.sqf in the mod it self with the rest of them (I followed the template used for mapping Iron Front). So how would I go about getting that to be used in a mission basis?

Thanks!

Ok thanks! I just tried it and I got the "No groups" error message :(

Also in the config viewer they are listed under UNSUNG_E but it the notes it says VC are UNSUNG_EV, tried changing both UNSUNG_E to UNSUNG_EV and got the same error. They do spawn through the CQB populator though but I suspect that doesn't require defined groups

Yea same thing as in the arma 2 version, I ended up just making a reskin of russian insurgents with UNSUNG units to get it to work with MSO. I thought by doing the group mapping this way though that it should work? Using the config viewer those are the group names and they do match up with the groups themselves.

For instance this is the groups in VC locals

Thatd be great thanks! Here it is http://www.filedropper.com/testdakrong

lol whaaaaaaaat, I keep getting that no groups error. Did you change anything or pack it into a pbo?

What mods do you have running? Which ALiVE do you have? I tried doing the same thing and I keep getting that same error lol

Hmm I tried enabling filepatching but I still get that no group error. Which ALiVE are you using? Did you get it from github or the newest armaholic link? God damn Arma makes me close to having an aneurysm sometimes.

ahhhh ok thanks! New problem, when I use the same mission file in the editor it works jsut like you, when I go to multiplayer, host, then use the same mission from there then the groups dont work. So this makes me think it won't be multiplayer compatbile. ANy idea on how to get it to work in MP? Would getting someone to add it to the framework be the solution?

Thanks!

also since unsung has ships, do I add them to a faction with

[UNSUNG_E_factionCustomGroups, "Sea", []] call ALIVE_fnc_hashSet;
