Replacing original units weapons

[jonstyle 49]

Hi

Wich file do I dePBO to change the stock soldiers weapons? Getting tired of changing the loadouts of each unit in the editor.

And also, in Flashpoint and Arma1 I have used windows notepad to open and change config files and it has worked in orderly fashion. But in Arma2 when I open config files, the text is all cramped up and really difficult to read. What text reader are you guys using?

Thanks

Notepad++

Generally switch to C++ language to better format text

To change default loadouts for a class, simply override the following parts of the class, e.g.:

class <SoldierClassName>
{
   weapons[] = {"M4A1_RCO_GL", "M9", "ItemGPS", "NVGoggles", "Binocular", "Throw", "Put", "ItemMap", "ItemCompass", "ItemWatch", "ItemRadio"};
   magazines[] = {"15Rnd_9x19_M9", "15Rnd_9x19_M9", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "HandGrenade_West", "HandGrenade_West", "1Rnd_HE_M203", "1Rnd_HE_M203", "1Rnd_HE_M203", "1Rnd_HE_M203"};
   respawnWeapons[] = {"M4A1_RCO_GL", "M9", "ItemGPS", "NVGoggles", "Binocular", "Throw", "Put", "ItemMap", "ItemCompass", "ItemWatch", "ItemRadio"};
   respawnMagazines[] = {"15Rnd_9x19_M9", "15Rnd_9x19_M9", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", "HandGrenade_West", "HandGrenade_West", "1Rnd_HE_M203", "1Rnd_HE_M203", "1Rnd_HE_M203", "1Rnd_HE_M203"};
};

As for the 'cramped up' text, I presume you're trying to open a config.bin. If so, try using something like Eliteness to open the file properly :) You don't need to binarise your own config, you can simply name it config.cpp.
