Vanilla weapon with moded magazine

[champ-1 40]

I want to make one of the vanilla guns accept moded magazine. How do I do that without creating new gun?

[HJohnson 16]

You need to make a stand alone addon that not only contains a cfgmagazines.hpp file to define your new magazines but a new cfgweapons file that has authority over the original game files to make the vanilla weapon able to use them.

[champ-1 40]

So I need to define every parameter of the vanilla weapon in that config? Or can I just make some sort of reference and overwrite original weapon chaning only 1 parameter I need?

I assume you mean modified ammo, and not the mag model itself correct?

[champ-1 40]

Both ammo and magazine. Well I did that. Now I want that mag to fit in the vanilla rifle.

Here's what I have:

class CfgPatches
{
class 127x108_HEAP
{
	units[] = {};
	weapons[] = {};
	magazines[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 0.1;
	requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F","A3_Weapons_F"};
};
};
class CfgAmmo
{
class B_127x108_APDS;
class B_127x108_HEAP: B_127x108_APDS
{
	hit = 70;
	indirectHit=20;
	indirectHitRange=0.4;
	explosive=0.1;
	CraterEffects="ExploAmmoCrater";
	explosionEffects="ExploAmmoExplosion";
};
};
class CfgMagazines
{
class 5Rnd_127x108_APDS_Mag;
class 5Rnd_127x108_HEAP_Mag: 5Rnd_127x108_APDS_Mag
{
	ammo="B_127x108_HEAP";
	descriptionShort = "Caliber: 12.7x108 mm HEAP<br />Rounds: 5<br />Used in: GM6 Lynx";
	displayName = "12.7mm 5Rnd HEAP Mag";
	initSpeed = 820;
};
};

you need to modify a weapon config, making it compatible with your mags

[champ-1 40]

Yeah, how? Any examples, please?

[champ-1 40]

Help, guys

[HJohnson 16]

It's be something like this

Its not accurate, I'm not at home with my Arma files.

config.cpp=

cfgpatches {
version number
requiredaddons = "the name of the weapon pbo that you are overriding"
};
#include cfgammo.hpp
#include cfgmagazines.hpp
#include cfgweapons.hpp

cfgammo.hpp

new ammo classes here

cfgmagazines.hpp

new magazine classes here

cfgweapons.hpp

class thebaseclasstheweaponinheritsfrom;
class thegunyouwanttomodify : thebaseclasstheweaponinheritsfrom 
{
magazines = "all the original vanilla magazines, your new magazine";
};

That's basically it.

[champ-1 40]

Thanks, man. But I figured it out on my own already.

Though I don't know the proper way to find a base class. I'm just scrolling config till I find something that fits. :D

You can check stuff like that in the editor in the config viewer :P

[champ-1 40]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. But it's not always all that obvious.
