Ammo woes

[Messiah 2]

been trying to make my own ammunition (only done it on vehicles so far) for a sniper rifle of ours... now it was initially based on the Jam 7.62x51 5 round magazine for the west, and calibrated to that effect, hence i sniffed around in Jam to get the same values etc... we just wanted our own sound to work for the weapon firing... im not sure where i'm going wrong, but i get the error:

no configbin: UKF_L96A1Mag

or something to that effect - i've double checked my spelling, and cant find anything obvious... but most of this ammo thing is beyond me

hope that all makes sense to you... the jam magazine worked nicely, but the sound was pants with what we needed - i was hoping i could do a copy and paste job of the ammo it used intially, but the config of jam is somewhat confusing - all over the place etc... i'm also asuming i need to add some sounds in the config for where it hits a bloke, soil, etc

cheers

I don't think this is the problem, but the sniper soldiers you

use should have 'UKF_L96A1Mag' in their magazines, rather

than 'JAM_W762_5mag', non?

The hit sounds are defined at the same place as the drySound

IIRC. Check the commented configs.

[Messiah 2]

i'll replace the ammo in the units once i get this thing sorted... never got hold of the commented configs... must find them

Probably a better learning tool than the JAM configs, to be honest  

[Messiah 2]

hmmmm... still confusing the fook out of me... will try and learn more from these configs, but they'res still rather cryptic

Magazines go in cfgWeapons, not cfgAmmo. cfgAmmo is for BulletSingle and etc.

Edit: You seem to have combined the ammo class and the magazine class.

should be like this.

class cfgAmmo

{

class gunBullet {};

};

class cfgWeapons

{

class gun

{

magazines[]={gunmag};

};

class gunmag: gun

{

ammo=gunbullet;

};

};

[Messiah 2]

i'm not completely sure what you mean... so i put the bullet single stuff in cfgammo and then the other stuff in cfgweapons?

[bedlam 0]

in cfgammo u define the bullet.

in cfgweapons u define weapon and mag.

right now u have the magazine defined in cfgammo when it should be in cfgweapons.

it should be like.

--------------------------------------

cfgammo

{

class thebullet

 {

  your settings for the bullet=damage speed explosive or not.

 };

};

----------------------------------------

cfgweapons

{

class theweapon

  {

  magazines []={themagazine}

  };

class themagazine

  {

  ammo="thebullet"

  count= "30" = amount of thebullet in themagazine.

  };

};

[Messiah 2]

aaah.... ok... i see now - a bullet is defined in the ammo bit... then you make a magazine of that bullet in the weapons bit

simple
