How can I correctly reference this file from my init.sqf?

[Althasil]

Hi,

I would like to tell my init.sqf file to use a custom cfgVehicles.hpp file, which I have placed inside my mission.pbo's fixes folder. From my understanding it would look something like this

_cfgVehicles = [] execVM "fixes\cfgVehicles.hpp";

or maybe

if (!isDedicated) then {
[] execVM "fixes\cfgVehicles.hpp";
};

The former will load the server without the desired effect, and the latter leaves me stuck on loading. Could anyone with a bit more knowledge on the subject advise me of the correct way to call this file? Thanks.

I doubt that would work because I believe the execution method only executes .sqf files. Maybe try a call compile instead

when installing base buildings i had to put the .hpp files in the description.ext at the top.
so you could try placing #include "fixes\cfgVehicles.hpp" at the top of the description.ext.

Dunno if this will work

this will not work, hpp files are C++ header files which need to be compiled during the launch of the game. They cannot be mixed with the games virtual machine code which sqf runs under.

Just a thought, but I see that line #8 of vehicle_handleKilled.sqf accesses the CfgVehicles.hpp. I wonder if one could access a modified .hpp file by overriding that .sqf in the mission .pbo?

it uses an engine side command that reads the compiled files. Not the raw files.

one does not simply "recompile" cfgvehicles.

The only thing you can do on that front is cfgsounds and rsctiles

@Seven
Looking to override speeds.txt (zed animation speed specifically) from dayz_anim - you wouldn't happen to know if this is possible?

I haven't looked into animations myself. It may work as part of your mission file. Worth a try testing, but I would guess it won't work.
