A bug or lack of understanding of how to add new weapons

[savagkc]

TK, don't know if a bug or a procedure not quite understood.

 

When adding completely new weapons, should the weapons.ini be re-numbered or added to the bottom of the list? Does it make a difference?

 

I guess the real question is "How to add new weapons"?

 

 

thanks,

Sorry, forgot.

 

An example: SU-15f has new weapons. I merged them into the existing weapondata.ini having to re-number them. None of the new weapons show for selection in the loadout screen.

I had similar problems when trying to figure out how to add and modify weapons. The problem lay in that the weaponsData.ini file is shadowed by a weaponsData.dat file, probably a hash or something from the original weaponsdata.ini file to clamp down on cheating or summit or making it easier to transfer in Multiplayer. Anyhows, there is a Weapon Editor available on this site, that will export both the .ini and .dat files allowing you to use new weapons.

hi guy,

The game engine read the weapondata.dat file.

In order to write update in that file, you need to merge new weapons in the weapondata.ini, then open the new file with the weapon editor, then click on "save", so the weapondata.dat is updated.

that's all folks.
