Adding available weapons to campaigns

[tmdgm]

Checked the knowledge base but couldn't find this. I want to make ECM pods available to the WOV campaigns. I've added weapons in WOE as there is a campaign_data.ini in each campaign folder. However, there is no campaign_data.ini in each of the WOV folder, so I figure it has to be extracted from somewhere.

ECM pods becaom availabe in WOV at the apropriate time more or less.

 

when you are flying a campaign they will one day show up for your loadout.

Or using weapon editor, you could copy one, rename it (because you'll have to) and give it an earlier inservice date. Then it should show up earlier by default.

I guess I would've thought they were in service by Linebacker II? Also thought that you have to specify which weapons are available for a campaign. At least that's how WOE seemed to be. I had to add weapons to the campaign_data.ini file for them to show up.

 

If not, can't I just change the in service date of the existing ECM pod?

 

Here's an example of the WOE campaign_data.ini file.

Supply[009].WeaponType=ecmxxxxx

Add that line.....with ecmxxxxx being the name of the ECM pod you want.

Supply[009].WeaponType=ecmxxxxx

Supply[009].Quantity=50

Understand that for WOE. I've edited quite a few. Problem is WOV doesn't have the campaign_data.ini file in the campaign folder. All that is in there is a configuration settings file.

 

Any idea where to find the campaign_data.ini file for the WOV campaigns? I figure they need to be extracted, but not sure from where.

[tmdgm]

Think I found it. It was in the missions.cat under WOVCampL1 in the flight directory.

[tmdgm]

Got the QRC-160-1 and QRC-160A-1 ECM pods to show up in the campaign.

 

The AN/ALQ-119 didn't though. Not sure if this is an in service date thing or I just typed it wrong.
