Replacement config for CfgGroups?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am attempting to use the Iranian_Forces addon in conjunction with MSO. It so happens that MSO expects that CfgGroups has been organised into the standard 'Infantry', 'Mororized', 'Mechanized', 'Armored' and 'Air' types. Unfortuntely the Iranian_Forces mod does not work this way and also is not fully defined (not having a go at the author - it's just a statement of fact!!). So....

Is it possible to define a replacement config that ONLY defines a new group structure for this addon?

Can I do this at mission level in description.ext? This would be great if I could do this!

Or, do I have to do it as a replacement config in an addon?

I could of course just edit the config.cpp of the addon itself, but I don't want to tamper with someone elses work. MSO is multiplayer and by definition I would have to distribute the amended mod and I don't wish to break the community rules and/or upset the mod author.

Am I barking up the wrong tree and there's actually an easier way to do this?

Before I embark on trying somehting that's impossible it would be good to get someone's thoughts on this.

OK, I think I have answered my own question...

1. You can't do it in description.ext - this causes Arma2OA to crash as CfgGroups is declared twice.

2. You can do it in a replacement config - although this means the addon will need to be signed and distributed...

At least it gets me working for now until I can persuade the mod authors to re-structure their groups (or use my new structure!).

a) You need an addon.

b) Fix their config and submit it to them.

c) If MSO reads the data only server side, you can make your own tweak/replacement/fixed addon for now too.
