Demagor 0 Posted September 14, 2002 Okay, if this has already been an issue before, I apologize. I made a search and couldn't find it, but I may have used the wrong key words. Â If this topic has already been discussed, please feel free to set up a link to it. Anyway, I simply want to know how you limit (or not limit) the weapons a character can select from at the beginning of the game? Â For example, in the GEAR tab during Mission Briefing, how would I set it up so that the character could select from ANY weapon? ...from only a certain number of weapons? ....from no weapons (is stuck with the default I assigned)? Also, for that matter how about selecting 2nd weapons (LAW, Carl Gustav, etc.), Other (NVGs, Binocs, etc.)? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

bn880 5 Posted September 14, 2002 Hmm, try searching for description.ext. That's where you set up a Weapons and Magazines class with all the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demagor 0 Posted September 16, 2002 I did a search for "description.ext", and though I found a handful of posts, none discussed this specific matter. Any other ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted September 16, 2002 is description.ext, you can define how much (type) of weapon you can have from briefings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demagor 0 Posted September 16, 2002 Okay, Ralph... Here is a "description.ext" file from a random mission I just took apart.  Please show me where I would select what weapons that character can select from in the beginning: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> class CfgRadio {    sounds[] =    {       Tm_back2, Tm_tngd1, Tm_tngd2.

Demagor 0 Posted September 17, 2002 Okay, Ralph. Let's break this down... what do these things mean: (1) "class Weapons" - Is this what section of the equipment you're specifying (i.e. Weapons, Equipment I, Equipment II, etc.)? (2) "class [itemname]"- Is this the inclusion of the weapon in the players "to-choose-from" list? So that if the weapon name appears here, it will be available for the player to select? (2) "count = 5;" - You got me on this. What value does the # represent? Thanks a TON for your help... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whisperFFW06 0 Posted September 18, 2002 Any way to differentiate the side of the player? I mean : in a 2 sides MP mission, I want ppl to be able to select US weapons for West side, and Russian weapons for East side. So the gear section should be changed based on the side. Is there any way to do this? Whis' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted September 18, 2002 (1) "class Weapons" - Is this what section of the equipment you're specifying (i.e. Weapons, Equipment I, Equipment II, etc.)? OFP uses C++'s class structure to define weapons. and each weapon is its own 'class'. so roughly, each 'class' is comparable to 'type' in reallife. like 'class M16' would mean 'type M16' (2) "class [itemname]"- Is this the inclusion of the weapon in the players "to-choose-from" list? So that if the weapon name appears here, it will be available for the player to select? yes (2) "count = 5;" - You got me on this. What value does the # represent? Frugo_PL answered it. this is how much of that stuff you can get. i.e. "in stock" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
