Adding a silencer..

[frosties 10]

Hello,

Me and my friend really loves stealth missions.

Was wondering how i would go on opening and editing a existing weapon, to add a silencer or change the texture of a weapon?

We have played with RH M4/M16 mod, but would like something like the SBR in black and with a silencer...

RH's models are binarized it means what you can't edit the model in the O2. You can to wait for new RH release to get that...

BUT if you can't to wait, you can add it by yourself ;)

Open a model in HEX editor, replace a path and model name like this (count of character must be same):

Save it.

Next make a silencer in the o2, when it is done call it "silencer1_proxy.p3d" (like name in the model. Warning, a path must be correct!)

Pack the updated model and the silencer model, replace exist (don't forget backup it).

Start the game.

Enjoy.

any release you might suggest that i can open and edit?

so i might learn a bit... starting from scratch doesnt seem to fun.. :L

Can i open the M4s that came with the game?

You can open a MLOD p3d, it is unbinarized. There are all MLODs from Arma1, ones from a2 yet not released. Each addonmaker who has made his model from scratch or with BIS parts, he has a right to keep MLOD and does not to publish it.

How do i know wich part is wich?

If i should open a binarized weapon that doesnt have a silencer, how do i know where to find the proper code?

The method is't universal and it give a ugly result :D I just changed a link to a muzzle flash model on a silencer one, see the screens, usually a name of a flash is "zasleh", I replaced path in link to my path and change name of link, used same count of charachters. Some weapon has't a flash model in first person view, a BIS weapon has't ones at all. Think that is was a joke :)

but...

:eek:

yey a SBR with a silencer!!

Does the silencer works?

Whats the setting in a config i should look for to change the "hitting" power of a weapon?

It Needs use other "silent" magazines, a config entry is magazines[]={"mag name"};

I take a silencer from a1 mlods, in the RH's m4 a flash proxy uses path ca\weapons\zasleh1_proxy

Cheers.
