Helo. I'm new on this site, but currently I am so desperate that I realized I must post my problem, so that maybe the more experienced people can help me. So, I am trying to change the picture of a weapon (RPG7V) so it would look different in the inventory/crates. This is my config right now :

class CfgPatches
{
	class better_rpg
	{
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {"RPG7V_Gold"};
		requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons"};
	};
};
class CfgWeapons
{
	class Launcher;
	class LauncherCore;
	class Default;
	class RPG7V : Launcher{};
	class RPG7V_Gold : RPG7V
	{
		displayName = "RPG7 Gold";
		picture = "x\jey\addons\better_rpg\w_rpg7_ca.paa";
		descriptionShort = "Gold RPG7";
	};
};

So as you can see this is a very basic config. The problem is , when I spawn down the item an error appears : "Picture x\jey\addons\better_rpg\w_rpg7_ca.paa not found"
What I tried is :
-Changing the picture route / Didn't work
-Changing the addon name / Didn't work
-Using $pboprefix$ / Didn't work
-Adding/removing "\" / Didn't work

If anyone has any idea I'd be MOST Thankful!

For the path you have (x\jey\addons\better_rpg\w_rpg7_ca.pa), this would be the ideal configuration:

PREFIX: x\jey\addons\better_rpg
pbo name: better_rpg.pbo
paa path: better_rpg\w_rpg7_ca.paa

Also you don't need all those class imports, this much should be enough:
class RPG7V;
class RPG7V_Gold : RPG7V
{
...

Here is an example pbo with a mock paa file.

Sometimes I like to think as I started the whole "earplugs" thing.

This is wrong I must say, I put the mod in use (the one that you sent me), and this error message appears, even before the game starts.
Picture

Edit: I recreated the pbo with your config, didn't change anything except creating a $pboprefix$ with "prefix = x\jey\addons\better_rpg". With this the mod runs, and when I spawn the item inside the crate, and open the crate afterwards this error appears :
"Picture equip\w\w_x\jey\addons\better_rpg\w_rpg7_ca.paa.paa not found"

You don't put `prefix = x\jey\addons\better_rpg` inside the pboprefix, you literally just have the path, like this:
x\jey\addons\better_rpg

The error should just be "Picture x\jey\addons\better_rpg\w_rpg7_ca.paa not found", weird.

Could you send the pbo you used?

You're supposed to have just the path! The file should be x\jey\addons\better_rpg. Unpack some of BI's or other mods' pbos, they have it the same.

My god. Now share this damn addon already so the people trying to help you fix the problem can have a look at the stuff. By now the problem most probably would have been fixed already if you shared the files. I highly doubt it's that top secret stuff. %)

I shared it, exactly, xDD that's everything what is inside the configs,changed nothing, it is only one config.cpp. 

    class CfgPatches
    {
        class better_rpg
        {
            units[] = {};
            weapons[] = {"RPG7V_Gold"};
            requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons"};
        };
    };
    class CfgWeapons
    {
        class Launcher;
        class RPG7V : Launcher{};
        class RPG7V_Gold : RPG7V
        {
            displayName = "RPG7 Gold";
            picture = "x\jey\addons\better_rpg\w_rpg7_ca.paa";
            descriptionShort = "Gold RPG7";
        };
    };
And there is also the $pboprefix$ with "x\jey\addons\better_rpg" right now. But the error is the same.

Really odd issue. Tried it myself with your config and paths. The packing went fine but the stupid picture is not shown.

First I thought it has something to do with the 'addons' in the path, with the Bohemians you never know, but that's not the case. Having a pboprefix or not doesn't matter either. The most weird thing is the double .paa in the warning message.

But, after several attempts I found the problem: no \ in the picture line.

Here's the current config:
class CfgPatches
{
  class better_rpg
  {
    units[] = {};
    weapons[] = {"RPG7V_Gold"};
    requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons"};
  };
};

class CfgWeapons
{
  class RPG7V;
  class RPG7V_Gold : RPG7V
  {
    descriptionShort = "Gold RPG7";
    displayName = "RPG7 Gold";
    picture = "\x\jey\addons\better_rpg\w_rpg7_ca.paa";
  };
};

Link to the pbo and source files
