Gear loadout

[lone.wolf 80]

Hi community,

I tried to search the biki and the forum, but didnt find the answer so now i gotta ask..

I want a mission to start with the player has a gear/weapon loadout screen so he can choose his loadout for the mission, and i also want to customize the loadout, to limit the choices..

I am sure its possible, just not how...??

Thanx!

You set it up through the description.ext file.

I am sorry i am not sure how, can you or someone explain to me how... in simple steps for a noob....

If you haven't made a mission yet, create a mission and save it (doesn't matter if you put anything in it yet).

If you have a mission already, then thats fine.

Go to My Documents/ArmA Other Profiles/yourplayername/Missions/YourMissionName or MPMissions/YourMissionName

Create a .txt file named description.ext

Make sure its .ext, not .txt.ext.

Open it up, and put the code from this link in:

Add more weapons by following the same format.

Get the class names for the weapons here:

I have a weird problem in my mission (with description) gear not show up! And unit name in star/briefing screen is empty and i can't choose gear ...

probably made a mistake in your file.

Save this as your Description.ext or check it with yours to see where and if you went wrong
