Did you save the changes using the weapon editor? If not, then it will not work, as the weapondata.ini is nothing more than a textual reference that is used to create a weapondata.dat file. The game engine reads the .dat file.

thanks,

do i have to open the .ini in the editor, then save? It saves as .ini, i see no 'export' button?...

yea,

open the weapondata.ini with the editor, then make your edits, then hit "Save" ( NOT Save As - theres a bug which screwes it up)

then close the editor.

the "Save" function saves your changes to the .ini and the .dat file.

the weapondata files should be in the ..\Objects\Weapons folder

ok, I have updated the weapondata.dat

 

now, the weapons are gone in the game :-(

I will try to fix it....

 

I may have to check all 2071 weapons

 

please make a new weaponpack

 

edit: I will download the weapon pack again and then add the new weps... that MUST work!

 

and thanks!!! (danke!)

hmm...

 

I started again, with a 'clean' working weapon pack.

I just opened the ini, changed nothing, and saved.

 

no weapons in the game and the .dat file is smaller.... (1.82 to 1.77)

 

help

 

EDIT:

I found a newer weapon editor, and it works!!!

YEAH 4 IRIS-T, 4 KILLS!!! (with german f-4 ICE)

 

Mission accomplished, vielen dank! and thanks!
