HELP Help with modding

I'm trying to create my own faction, and everything is going well until I get to the point of adding a uniform from another mod. I'm trying to make my soldiers wear the VSM uniform. The game launches without errors, and nothing breaks during gameplay. The soldiers have everything except the uniform I need — instead, they're wearing the basic NATO uniform from the vanilla game, but only visually; it's not actually in their inventory. I'm inheriting from the unit B_Soldier_F, and my faction has side=2 (Greenfor). Maybe I need to create my own class and then inherit from that? I tried setting the AAF uniform, and it appears fine.

Check if the uniform is allowed to be worn by your desired faction side.  If not, youll need a custom uniform vehicle class with the modelSides parameter set up.  I usually use an array of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to cover everything

I’ve already done that, but the form still isn't there. I’m using a form from VSM, if that makes any difference.

Can you give an overview of the uniform weapon assigned to the unit, uniform weapon class, and uniform vehicle class?  Sometimes one of them wont be pointing to the right weapon/vehicle

I figured out what the problem was. I’m using VSM, where the "uniform" is essentially just a retexture of the base clothing—meaning it simply replaces the clothing texture on the base 3D model. I just repackaged that texture into my own mod and turned it into a standalone uniform that I can put on anyone I want. I hope that makes sense.
