@JD_Wang So last night I was trying to make a decent (in my eyes) Taliban OPFOR faction just from CUP, and then make civilians to go along with them.

I exported the Taliban faction, then built the civilian faction, exported that, made them both into PBO's as normal, but the thing is whenever I startup the editor I only see 1 or the other, never both. It's like 1 stops the other from loading.

This is probably a very simple issue for someone that knows things about configs and creating factions, but I am not that person. Can anyone tell me what's going wrong and what I can do to solve it (or at least point me in the right direction)

Thanks

You need to change the name on the CfgPatches from "testmod" to the name of each mod.

Since you have both in there..both of which are considered..."testmod"....you only see one.

Change that and you're golden. FYI...if you use the newest ORBAT Spyder posted..he added the ability to export CfgPatches automatically

Note:
If you are using the experimental version then use the CfgPatches export method to generate the needed config for that file, will save most people who don't know how configs work some trouble.

@JD_Wang Thanks man, I've just been having another go now I know about the CfgPatches export, and still no joy.

I really need the "Bob Ross with crayons talking to a 5 year old" instructions on this one I think.

Taliban faction "HV_Taliban" added to the first post. Requires RHS USAF (probably), RHS AFRF, Project OPFOR and Eric J's Taliban units. They come in 2, 4, 6 and 8 man groups, and also have motorized groups. Faction name HV_Taliban

I'll add the classnames for units in the readme when I have some time. Eric J's civs, which come with his mod, which you probably should use since they look identical to the Taliban faction, are faction name AFGCIV

Have you been able to get Spyder's Civilian Interaction module to work with Eric J's Taliban Civs? Or have you had it work with any of created Civ factions through the Orbatron?

I haven't been able to get it to work with any Civ factions other than Project Opfor, CAF Civs, and Vanilla Civs. Default ALiVE options work fine though.

@AUTigerGrad I don't actually use that module anymore. Not because I don't love it (I do), but because I release these missions and it's confusing to explain to people about needing to use both his interaction menu and the vanilla ALiVE interact option because of that broken HQ question in Spyder's mod.

Very strange it's not working. You'd think if the faction was configured properly enough for ALiVE to spawn them on the map, that they'd be configured properly enough to work with his mod.

@SpyderBlack723 Would you be willing to take a peak at my ORBAT faction in the first post (HV_Taliban) to see why the units aren't showing up in Zeus? They definitely were at one point. Not sure what happened. No hurry but if you ever had a chance I'd love to get that working.

Use the cfg patches export option in the latest link posted here

Thanks. I just exported the cfg patches and it looks much different than the old one we used before, specifically in the required addons section which used to list a ton of vanilla A3 assets. Did I need to keep those in there?

I just loaded up the ORBAT faction using the new exported cfg patches file (leaving the other 3 files the same) and I can't open any of my missions due to missing the required addon: testMod_test by Spyderblack723

EDIT: I think I see the issue now. BRB.
EDIT2: The testmod test line was defined in my original cfg patches file along with a long list of vanilla assets in the required addons section. Once I added the testmod line and the addons stuff back, everything works perfectly and also works in Zeus now! Thanks! Faction updated in the first post!
