Weapon Replacements

[blacknight_pl 0]

I want to replace some Laser weapons from his packs with the SJB weapons. I dont know how to do this. A different config ?

A script that i could load ?

i dont wont to change the weapons one by one to each soldier every time.

Maybe some one could give me a advice

Thank You

well you could edit the pbo. you can / should use it only for your private use then.

(winpbo - config.cpp - unit class - exchage weapon[]= and magazine[]= )

you could also write a new addon which inherits both addons.

(class new : laserclass

weapon[]= {SJB WEP};

magazine[]= {SJB MAGs};

dont forgot to mention both addons in cfgpatches)

Thanks

I think i do it with the config.cpp

But one more question:

The new addon as a pbo file ?

Like HYK do it with his soldiers, one pbo for Lasers weapons and one for JAM weapons, and You can choose then ?

The best way to replace weapons is to do it via the cfgweapons and not by using the "already defined" class in the "magazines & weapons" lines of the cfgvehicles.

-Advantages of a such method : you won't have any missing addon message while playing + less loading time once ofp's launched.

-Disadvantages : none.

///How do I replace BIS M16 by SJB M16A2 ?///

At first unpbo the addon which countains the wanted weapon intended to replace BIS one.

Then open its cpp and look for the following lines

"model=x" ;

"modeloptic=x" ;

SJB's config wanted lines :

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> model="\SJB_TOSM4\SJB_M16A2_proxy.p3d";

modelOptics="\FFUR_Optics\M16_optic.p3d"; -> (Use the authentic line coming with SJB config cuz this one belongs to the FFUR mod)

BIS config's lines intended to be replaced :

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> model="m16_proxy";

modelOptics="optika_m16";

then overwrite both BIS lines by SJB ones as showed above and don't forget to convert the cpp to bin that you'll move into your \modfolderX\bin.

This is a light replacement's method cuz it does replace only the weapon's model and the ironsight, nothing else.

Kind regards
