[HOW-TO] Reskin/Retexture Vehicles

Brockie · August 4, 2014

This is How-to reskin/retexture vehicles.

I do not take credit for any of the script. I just made a how-to because a few people asked for it.

For advanced user: This was created after a lot of searching and at least 100 different ways of trial and error. It's unbelievably simple and I'm sure someone has posted this before but I hope it helps.

Features:

No noticeable server startup lag.
Easy to install.
Works on the fly for purchased vehicles.
Works for dynamic vehicles.
Works on server restarts.
Tested with 7 custom vehicle skins setup on traders and dynamic, worked flawlessly and tested restarts too.

[VB]AWOL whose postethe proper way to do this.
[VB]AWOL + Epoch Dev Team and EpochMod.com community for sharing awesome mods.

Requirements

Custom texture files that are known to work.
Ability to edit sqf files
PBO Manager
Notepad++

Installation

Step 1. Get some custom textures and put them in your mission folder somewhere. Write down the folder structure for future use. For my example textures are in the custom folder in my mission file.

Step 2. Unpack your dayz_server pbo

Step 3. open these three files: server_publishVehicle2.sqf, server_publishVehicle3.sqf, and server_monitor.sqf

Step 4. In your server_monitor.sqf find this:

			_lockable = 0;
			if(isNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _type >> "lockable")) then {

And ABOVE it put this

			if (_type == "SUV_TK_CIV_EP1") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\SUV.jpg''];';};

Change the Vehicle Classname and the texture pathing for your texture and vehicle. Keep adding more lines like this for each texture that you need.

Step 5. Again in your server_monitor.sqf find this:

	// # END SPAWN OBJECTS #

And below it put this:

	processInitCommands;

Step 6. In server_publishVehicle2.sqf find this:

	} else {
		_object = createVehicle [_class, _location, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
	};

And BELOW it put this:

	if (_class == "SUV_TK_CIV_EP1") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\SUV.jpg''];';};

Notice the only difference is _class instead of _type. Again keep adding more lines like this for each texture that you need.

Step 7. This Step is for BOTH: server_publishVehicle2.sqf AND server_publishVehicle3.sqf find this:

	publicVariable "PVDZE_veh_Init";

And BELOW it put this:

	processInitCommands;

Step 8. Now in server_publishVehicle3.sqf find this:

	//Add weapons
	_objWpnTypes = 	_weapons select 0;
	_objWpnQty = 	_weapons select 1;

And ABOVE it put this:

	if (_class == "SUV_TK_CIV_EP1") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\SUV.jpg''];';};

It's the same line from server_publishVehicle2.sqf with _class instead of _type. again repeat more lines exactly like this for more textures.

Step 9. Save Changes and Repack PBO

Congrats your done!

Note: This could also be done by creating a function and then calling the function from each file, i think.... but I prefer to do it this way.

Brockie · August 4, 2014

Sniped link per report, BTW, This is not anything new I just helped someone on our Teamspeak the other day with the same exact functions.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setObjectTexture

combined with:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setVehicleInit

and
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/processInitCommands

Will give you JIP compatible texture replacements if the vehicle is setup for it.

Add this on line https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/SQF/dayz_server/system/server_monitor.sqf#L126 change the ANYCLASS to your vehicle class and the texture path to that of a paa file in your mission pbo.
if (_type == "ANYCLASS") then {_object setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [0, "\pboname\texture.paa"];"};
Also add
processInitCommands;
here: https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/SQF/dayz_server/system/server_monitor.sqf#L261

Very sweet Brockie!

You can use the pic from my noobie tread if you want beginners to understand what they can establish with this :)

Thanks again!

calamity · August 4, 2014

I had this for awhile but was never able to get more than one custom texture.

could you give sample code for 2 or more custom textures ?

Excuse me for the harsh tone good sir, but these extends are nothing compared to the basics of this script.

Brockie · August 4, 2014

Examples of having multiple textures..

Server monitor:

			if (_type == "SUV_TK_CIV_EP1") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\SUV.jpg''];';};
			if (_type == "ATV_US_EP1") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\ATV.jpg''];';};

publish vehiles:

	if (_class == "SUV_TK_CIV_EP1") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\SUV.jpg''];';};
	if (_class == "ATV_US_EP1") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\ATV.jpg''];';};

Enjoy :D

calamity · August 4, 2014

I was trying 2 this way

switch (_type) do 
{
   case "SUV_pink": {_object setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [0, ""custom\skins\skin1.jpg""]"; processInitCommands;};
   case "SUV_orange": {_object setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [0, ""custom\skins\skin2.jpg""]"; processInitCommands;};

Thankz alot for your help

Brockie · August 4, 2014

Put processInitCommands once only in each file near the bottom as shown in the first post Step 5 and Step 7

YOU DID:

                        _lockable = 0;
                        if(isNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _type >> "lockable")) then {
                        if (_type == "SUV_TK_CIV_EP1") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\suv.jpg''];';};
                        if (_type == "SUV_Camo") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\suv1.jpg''];';};
                        if (_type == "ArmoredSUV_PMC_DZE") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\suv2.jpg''];';};

What Brockie told you to do:

Step 4. In your server_monitor.sqf find this:

_lockable = 0;
if(isNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _type >> "lockable")) then {

And ABOVE it put this

if (_type == "SUV_TK_CIV_EP1") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\SUV.jpg''];';};

If you cant figure this, take a few steps backwards and come back with the requested (minor) understanding to implement this ;)

thanks my problem solved and reskin work

mark88 · August 6, 2014

@Brockie

I wonder if you can retexture other objects almost similar like vehiles, such as Clothings/Buildables.

Gave it a shot with epoch cinder walls, didnt work (i thought they get handled like vehicles).

Edit: This probably has do be done in server_publishObject.sqf, also with processInitCommands;

Im just a little stucked if i "can" or "should" use setObjectInit (found "some" arma references for it) or rather setVehicleInit ...

Brockie · August 7, 2014

good question. technically everything in arma is a vehicle, so I would start with that. if it didnt work then I would try using object. Getting this to work took for me took a long time of searching and trial and error. Unfortunately, at the moment I'm pressed on time but maybe later I might be interested in trying this later.

mark88 · August 7, 2014

Dont stress about it, i thought it might just looks more fresh if we could replace the wall/floor textures with more sexy ones :)

Then there would be a way to paint them as users desire ...

Features which should have been there since the beginning of epoch :D

It really is awesome what this community can establish. If this works out then im gonna add a scroll menu to paint walls for some gold.

Or maybe just to "upgrade them to final stage", so they look like real walls, not those unfinished grey cubes and towers anywhere.

I believe i can use the maintain variables that for .. since buildings on my server are always permanent and indestructible ...

diester · August 7, 2014

Hello I finally found you thanks to a custom script that works really well.

By cons I test on a single origins epoch and the epoch vehicle running the vehicle origins it does not work anyone know how to reason?

2sugars · August 8, 2014

Skins can be done too

Rusty · August 8, 2014

Hello, I believe everything is correct. However I cannot get them to load.

dayz_server\system\server_monitor.sqf

http://pastebin.com/yPRRHMDb

dayz_server\compile\server_publishVehicle2

http://pastebin.com/um1p6kVp

dayz_server\compile\server_publishVehicle3

http://pastebin.com/b45QQtbU

when I spawn the SUV_TK_CIV_EP1 I just get the standard SUV.

I realized that I derped and assigned all textures to the same vehicle class. Would this be the cause? Or should something still load?

I am using the textures from your referrer

In his RAR file is a PNG amongst the jpg's. I am not certain if that one should be excluded.

Also - The images - do they go into the dayz_server/custom folder - or the MPMissions/Dayz_epoch11.Chernarus/custom ?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much for your time - I realize it must have been a bit of work to create this mod, so much appreciated !

mark88 · August 8, 2014

Armored SUV does not work with this.

And yes. if you pull in multiple skins for one class, it will break.
You are one genius arnt you? would you take a minute to figure yourself, instead you prepare a question post which costs you at least 5 minutes.

@2sugars

Nice one, but seems a little dirty on edges. Do you use custom player skins in your profile folder?

I don't use custom skins but the fella that posted the above pic is http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/user/2806-sukkaed/ you could try asking him how it was done.

Thank you Mark, - I like to be well documented.

The reason why I spent 5 minutes to prepare the post was for two reasons.

One : To verify if in fact having the same classnames would break it.

Two : If it didn't Was there something else wrong.

Third - I cannot start / stop my server when it's full to test it.

And lastly - to get some input on the textures I was using.

The jpg's and PNG. Do they go into the dayz_server/custom folder - or the MPMissions/Dayz_epoch11.Chernarus/custom ?

Thank you for the mod Brockie !!

Rusty · August 8, 2014

I do it on the fly, I set the texture of the vehicle using cursorTarget

Oh nice. You wouldn't have a link to a quick tutorial on that. Also is it a permanent set, or just temp?

Rusty · August 8, 2014

That would be fantastic Bow. I really appreciate the offer.

Rusty · August 9, 2014

I'll install the paa plugin into photoshop and give it a go.

So basically I use either one or the other scripts you posted and put whichever one I want to use into "admin_start.sqf"

From there - execute it through ALT+F11 in Infistar ( after logging in via #login mypassword )

What happens from here?

If you are making it a permanent change, would it be easy for you to add in a selection, so I can choose which one of my textures to apply?

Thanks for the script and all your help. Much appreciated !
