Warfare OA (warfare2_e) Buy Menus

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I've been a frequent searcher here for awhile now, decided to make an account for this. I've enjoyed playing Arma's warfare module material for some time, and I've tried the BE editions and whatnot and they're all great. I've been getting into my own tinkering lately though so I could be able to better customize all the parameters to my taste. I've run into a snag at this point.

Ok, so I unpbo'd warfare2_e in order to use the default OA buy menu's in the config_barracks, config_lightfactory, config_loadouts, etc... First, I basically used the Chernarus example mission from that particular PBO as the foundation for my warfare scenario in Takistan, I reconfigured the airport caps(the airport buy menu works fine) and starting units and vehicles, those all load up fine. I was also able to take the loadouts of both OA and the original Marine loadouts and combine them in the buy menu so I could have more options there.

The problem is with the barracks, and vehicle factories. Using the warfare2_e configs, nothing appears in the buy menu. Conversely, I tried to use the Chernarus original config which loads those units into the buy menu just fine, they are all purchasable. If I try to add US Army soldiers and vehicles into the config file with the USMC units, they still wont show in the menu, can't replace them either. Am I missing some sort of initialize script to make the mission load US Army units, or some kind of faction alignment problem? I've been going back and forth between windows, the game, notepads and the like and I'm too tired to tinker with this anymore. Maybe I should use Benny's warfare as a template instead? Thanks all.

PS. this is basically for my personal use and fun of tinkering. I probably wont make it multiplayer, too complex for me.

Edit: Having looked at Benny's configs, I can see that they won't work for my purposes. I'm looking for a much simpler solution.

oohhhhK, I'm an idiot. I just realized that when I transfered the map information from the chernarus map to the takistan map that I didn't change the Warfare module to Warfare Module (OA). Now I have workable factory buy menus. Now I just need to hopefully edit them to add what I want with minimal hassle.

EDIT: OK, new question then... If I wanted to add, say, USMC vehicles, or even OPFOR vehicles to the buy menu of the US Army, how would I go about making that work. Simply copying and pasting the parameters from one config_lightfactory to the other doesn't seem to be working.

ALSO, I'm having a hard time putting the Range Finder (Binocular_Vector) in the loadout purchase menu. I'd like to be able to purchase that seperate or as a sniper kit, or both. I see where the parameters would be entered, but I'm not sure of the specific entry type-up for that part of the config_loadouts sqf.

Thanks all for helping a newb.
