Weapons selection when exporting mission...

[cms81586 0]

How do you make the weapons inventory so you can choose any gun after you export the mission to single player? Also, I am still learning how to use OFP editor and would like to know if it is possible to make a decent mission without scripting. (I don't know how)

Extract the mission from the missions folder with any pbo extractor and change the description.ext so that there are the weapons and stuff you want to be available. Then copy that mission into your user's missions folder and save it again through the game. Is this what you ment?

You don't have use scripts to make a good mission.

Scripts are used for uhmm "special incidents" to happen.

i.e. eject a squad from a heli or simulate an object carried by another object (car under heli etc) or a script can be used to other functions not directly supported by the mission editor.

You can still make exciting missions without the use of scripts. The majority of user-made missions are using scripts.

To make a inventory-selection for the mission-beginning you need to configure the "selection" you need to define the weapon and ammo-classes in a file called 'description.ext' (a text-based file you put into the same folder you have the mission.sqm). All files in that folder will automatically be exported with the mission.

I have'nt got ofp where I am now so I'm unable to show you a sample right now. Maybe someone else can...
