GLT Missilebox (IAWS compatible)

[[frl]myke 14]

GLT Missilebox 2.0

requires Operation Arrowhead 1.5 or higher

This reworked Missilebox adds the following aerial weapons:

AIM-9M, AIM-9X, AIM-120, AIM-7, AIM-54, R-3, R-27, R-73, R-77, R.550

AGM-65, AGM-84, AGM-88, AGM-114, Kh-15, Kh-22, Kh-29L, Kh-29T, Kh-31, Kh-59, AM-39

FAB-250, FAB-500, Mk-81, Mk-82, Mk-84, GBU-12, GBU-53, KAB-250L, KAB-500L, KAB-1500L, AGM-154

The Missilebox is compatible with the GLT F-16 and will immediately show the new models. Hopefully in the near future other addons will make use of the box aswell.

I will add default BIS planes to make use of the Missilebox asap.

Included is a GLT F-16 expansion which adds 3 more weapon variants (for all color schemes so 12 new planes) based on this new Missilebox:

Variant 1:

M61A1

2 x AIM120

2 x AGM88

6 x MK81

Variant 2 (Euro loadout):

M61A1

2 x AIM9M

2 x AM39

6 x R550

Variant 3 (russian loadout):

M61A1

2 x R27

2 x CH31

6 x KAB250

I admit that those variants are mainly for showcase purpose, to get a quick look on the weapons so don't bother me with complaints about realism on those variants.

Sadly I had problems with making good screenshots so if someone could help out and make some decent shots.... :D

The Missilebox uses the same models and textures like the GLT Airweapons replacement pack, so using the Missilebox alongside with the Airweapons replacement will give you a unified look of weapons.

If you wish to change the weapon loadout by script to create own variations, the script in post #5 is still valid.

Credits:

IrishDeviant for: AGM-88, KAB-250L, KAB-500L and KAB-1500L. Outstanding work, mate. Thanks again.

RKSL-Rock for: AGM-84, parts of the GBU-12 (guidance) aswell for offering his UK Missilepack.

wld427 for: FAB-500 MLOD (created by godhammer), inspiration for the AGM-154 and the Kh-15.

NodUnit for: reference pictures of the AGM-114 texture. Thanks again.

Irishdeviant, thanks for those outstanding models. I tried to reach your standard with my own models but surely failed.

RKSL-Rock, thanks for your contributions and help.

wld427, also thanks to you for sharing some MLOD's although i didn't used all.

Also would say thanks to southy as he sent also a whole bunch of MLOD's. Most i already had and some will probably follow in a additional pack later.

NodUnit & Keshman, thanks for your help on some textures.

I hope i got it all right. During the working time on this pack, it is easily possible to mix up who did what.

If this happened or i forgot to credit someone, it was by mistake and not intentionally. Send me a PM and i will fix it.

I second that! would be much appreciated.

@poh & vengeance1

Sure thing. ;)

For Mission makers:

You can change weapon loadout of a plane at mission start with a simple script:

_plane = _this select 0;
_plane setVehicleAmmo 0;
{_plane removeWeapon _x} foreach (weapons _plane);
sleep 0.5;
{
_plane addmagazine _x;
sleep 0.1;
} foreach ["500Rnd_20mm_M61A1_GLT", "2Rnd_Sidewinder_GLT", "2Rnd_Maverick_GLT", "6Rnd_GBU12_GLT"];
{
_plane addWeapon _x;
sleep 0.1;
} foreach ["GLT_M61A1", "GLT_SidewinderLauncher", "GLT_MaverickLauncher", "GLT_BombLauncher_LGB"];

This example code will change the loadout to 2 Sidewinders, 2 Mavericks and 6 GBU12. Please note that you have to re-add the cannon since with removeweapon also this one has been removed.

For Addon makers:

Please follow the IAWS structure guidelines which you can find here. It's not mandatory that your plane supports IAWS, just take not how proxies have to be placed in the p3d model so they are placed properly in-game. The missilebox also works with non-IAWS planes, although they will not benefit in upcoming IAWS features.

Adding those weapons works as usual when adding weapons: just add them in the config into the weapons and magazines array. Also add GLT_Missilebox to the "requiredAddons" line in the class cfgPatches.

Well Done that helps alot now I am off to the editor!!:bounce3:

Thanks!

I cant get this script to work does it go in the inisilization box of the aircraft in the editor?

[[frl]myke 14]

Preferably not. Make it a script and call this script from the init box.

nul = [_this] execVM "NAME_OF_SCRIPT.sqf";

[CG Man 0]

Thats beyond my knowlege of the editor but thanks for the help.

[[frl]myke 14]

Thats easier as you might think.

1. Open the editor, place a unit as player

2. Save as "User mission", don't choose "Export to..."

3. Switch to Desktop and open Windows Explorer

4. Browse to "C:\Users\<WINDOWS_USERNAME>\Documents\ArmA Other Profiles\<ARMA_PROFILENAME>\missions"

There you'll find a folder with the name you gave to the mission, in there is a mission.sqm (no, don't touch this)

5. Open Notepad or any texteditor of your choice

6. Copy/paste the code i gave 1:1 into Notepad

7. Save this file as "loadout.sqf" into the mission directory you've found above. It goes at the same plce where the mission.sqm is. Make sure Notepad doesn't save it as "loadout.sqf.txt", you might have to switch file type in the "save as..." screen from TEXT to ALL FILES.

8. Go back in the editor, place a F-16C of your choice and in it's init line, type the following:

nul=[this] execVM "loadout.sqf";

9. Click on Preview and watch the changed weapon loadout.

[Alex72 1]

I think he is saying:

In the INIT box add:

nul = [_this] execVM "NAME_OF_SCRIPT.sqf";

And put the script he posted earlier into notepad (think notepad++ is best for scripts though?) and save as: NAME_OF_SCRIPT.sqf and put it inside your mission folder.

EDIT: LOL sorry Myke... Too slow.

[[frl]myke 14]

I still recommend ArmA Edity by Chris Henderson which is familiar with ArmA/ArmA 2 filetypes and now how to handle them. Although the new scripting commands aren't included yet, IMHO the best tool for scripters.

:EDITH:

Don't get confused when ArmA Edit declares .sqf files as "Function Files", this is a leftover from ancient OFP Version where .sqs was supposed to be the main script language and .sqf was just to write functions. By now i would prefer (personally) if .sqs would be dropped and just .sqf is supported.

Edited June 27, 2009 by [FRL]Myke

[oldbear 390]

It's a bit Off-Topic, but as Chris Henderson seems to have disappeared from the ArmA scene : no new, no release, site off, I believe we need somebody to bring an "ArmA2 Edit tool" .

[CG Man 0]

Thanks guys thanks for the script tutorial I'll have a go at this about time I learned something new for ARMA editor.

[Alex72 1]

Yep ArmEdit would be best. I just meant "when changing in scripts" notepad++ is better than standard notepad (heard it anyway). ArmaEdit is great - hope it gets updated.

Alex

[CG Man 0]

Got it to work but it when I try it with MK-84 bombs it says it cant find them.

Doh I know what I did wrong now I pasted in the mag class names and not the ammo class names better get the coffee in thanks for a great mod.

Just tried ArmA Edit, very handy. You can actually update the commands list yourself and it turns out somebody already has.

[alpha9 10]

any laser guided missiles or bombs in it?

[[frl]myke 14]

There is the GBU12 as LGB in there and also the AGM-84 can lock on Laser targets. I know this does not reflect the real AGM-84, i decided to apply laserlock capabilities to have a long-range anti-bunker weapon. To make sure it will not be too powerful, the AGM-84 is less maneuvrable than a AGM-65. So it can easily happen that it will not hit a fast moving convoy.

[gazmen 0]

Could you merge the A.C.E.S bwmod missiles to yours pack ?

[Daniel 0]

Would it be possible to create a GLT_Harrier? The bombs load on to the BIS Harrier fine but visually they float about 2 feet in front of their pylons, looks a bit naff.

[[frl]myke 14]

Since the F-16 will get a major rework, also the Missilebox will receive some attention.

Eble, [APS]Gnat and myself are working close together to present you in the near future a unified Missilebox which will contain all needed weaponry for our planes. This cooperation also means that planes and weapon systems are well balanced for each side.

If someone else is interested to contribute to this missilepack can contact me. If your creating plane addons, you may use this missilepack also. This way, you can focus on the plane and then just add weapons that are well balanced and (hopefully) of good quality also.

I've already started to rework the pack and here is what i've got so far:

AGM-114 (BIS)

AGM-65 (BIS)

Mk82 (BIS)

GBU53 (Eble)

AIM-9B (Myke)

AIM-9M (Myke)

AIM-9X (BIS)

R-73 (BIS)

GBU12 (BIS)

AIM-120 (Eble)

AIM-132 (Eble)

AIM-7 (DesertPhoenix)

Ch-29 (Eble)

AIM-54 (Myke)

AGM-88 (DesertPhoenix)

AGM-84 (DesertPhoenix)

BIS weapons are included to get them IAWS compatible. This goes for all weapons in this pack: fully IAWS compatible.

Please note that the pic is WIP status and may change untill release.
