Change weapon config ?

[Sam75 0]

I would like to increase or even turn off self-destruction of rpg7 rockets, real ones are supposed to self destruct at 900m, in the game it seems to me that it's way more than 900m, how can I edit this value ?

thanks

I found the parameter I need to change here which is "timetolive"

do I have to change the whole rpg7 pbo or is there a simpler way to overwrite default values ?

You can extend the RPG config entry:

class CfgPatches
{
class Sam_better_RPG
{
	units[] = {};
	weapons[] = {"RPG7V"};
	requiredVersion = 0.1;
	requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons"}; //Let original config be loaded first
};
};

class CfgWeapons
{
class Launcher;
class RPG7V : Launcher
{
	timeToLive = 5;
};
};

};

class CfgWeapons

class RPG7V : Launcher

};
};

and where do I put this ?

I tried to edit original config.bin from weapon.pbo but I get an error when I try to convert the new config.cpp to config.bin

Create a folder, call it myaddon. Create a new file within this folder and call it config.cpp, paste the text from above into it.

Pack the folder with your favorite PBO tool.

class CfgPatches 
{ 
   class Sam_better_RPG 
   { 
       units[] = {}; 
       weapons[] = {}; 
       requiredVersion = 0.1; 
       requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons"}; 
   }; 
}; 

class CfgAmmo { 

/*extern*/ class RocketCore;
/*extern*/ class Rocketbase;


       class R_RPG18_AT: RocketBase {
	model = "\ca\weapons\m136_Rocket";
	hit = 300;
	indirectHit = 7.500000;
	indirectHitRange = 1;
	cost = 200;
	timeToLive = 10;
	initTime = 0;
	thrust = 80;
	thrustTime = 10;
	maxSpeed = 115;
	sideAirFriction = 0.500000;
	fuseDistance = 5;
	visibleFire = 24;
	audibleFire = 16;
	CraterEffects = "ATRocketCrater";
	explosionEffects = "ATRocketExplosion";
	effectsMissile = "missile2";
	whistleDist = 2;
};
};

Can't get it working without turning off ace mod, any idea why ?

[Deadfast 43]

ACE probably overrides the settings. Either define the ACE weapon class in required addons, or use load your change as mod after ACE (E:\ARMA 2\arma2.exe -mod=@ACE;@myAddon).

BTW, you don't have to write out all of the values, only the values you want to change are necessary.

Here's an example:

class CfgPatches 
{ 
   class Sam_better_RPG 
   { 
       units[] = {}; 
       weapons[] = {}; 
       requiredVersion = 0.1; 
       requiredAddons[] = {"CAWeapons", "ACE_ammo_config_name_here"}; 
   }; 
}; 

class CfgAmmo
{ 
   //class RocketCore; - don't need this
   class Rocketbase;

    class R_RPG18_AT: RocketBase
   {
       timeToLive = 10;
   };
};

can I include my addon into my mission (mission is also .pbo, why do i need another pbo in addons folder?) ?

[Deadfast 43]
