Using new weapons

[Vicious 0]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the new weapon designations are, such as the styer Aug and Bison. Also how to be able to select different weapons in the breifing area.

Tks

Yeah, I need to know that too.

I have been looking for atleast 4 hours in forums after answers but I cant find any, just same question unanswered everywhere.

Question:

Why dont they give them easy names like the M60?:

M60: this addweaponcargo ["M60", 1]

M60 mag: this addmagazinecargo ["M60", 1]

The Steyr Aug for example could be:

This addweaponcargo ["Steyr", 1]

This addmagazinecargo ["Steyr", 1]

But instead the new weapons have crazy names that everyone is asking about right now, why why why ?

Vicious´s question of course is in more need of an answer :-D

DePBO the .pbos and get the names from the config.cpp files.

Whoops, looks like those new weapons have config.bin instead of config.cpp. They seem to be encrypted, and unpack-sqm doesn't decrypt them.

Real Newbie question at this point: Are the commands (or variables btw) in the editor case senstitive. Every time someone answers a question they write the commands differrently: addweaponcargo, AddWeaponCargo, addWeaponCargo, etc... Does it make a differrence? Is the same true for variables? Or are variables case sensitive?

They are not case sensitive.

It's true that you won't find much help on this noticeboard by asking, but don't be put off by these 'Children'. Not everyone who posts and reads here is stuck up their own ass!

Designations are as follows;

Weapon                     Ammo

"Bizon"                       "BizonMag"

"Steyr"                       "SteyrMag"

"G36a"                       "G36aMag"

"XMS"                         "M4"

"Mm1"                        "Mm1Base"

"6g30"                       "6g30Base"

Have fun!

btw

Add the magazines first, then the weapon to the unit/vehicle or you will have to manually re-load the weapon.

How did you find out the names?

[DV Snake 0]

Tried to surf for 'em but without any luck.   Various Noticeboards too for same result.

Ended up converting pbo files to different format and then carefully searched those.

A bit of trial and error and hey presto!

At www.ofpeditingcenter.com there are whole lists of these sorts of things in the tutorials section. I have well over 100 pages worth of tutorial and command lines sitting on (well cluttering) my desk.
