Editing Weapon Upgrades

[xXx-Tricky-xXx]

Can someone help me out here? Ive tried editing both of them doing numerous numbers but none seem to do anything. 0 0 gives me the l96a1 but I want the berret95. What two numbers do I use to have that working? BTW I play SP so im not worried about it not working on multiplayer.

ObjectTemplate.create ItemContainer UnlockUSSniper
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate ussni_m95_barret
ObjectTemplate.unlockLevel 3

ObjectTemplate.create ItemContainer UnlockUSSniper2
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate gbrif_l96a1
ObjectTemplate.replaceItem USRIF_M24
ObjectTemplate.replaceItem ussni_m95_barret
ObjectTemplate.unlockLevel 3

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

Be aware though, htat messin gwith your files, even if its only for Sp, can still get you PB banned for using "modified content". You have been warned.

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

With "Ghilleman"'s post I'll add a comment;
ALWAYS backup what your editing.

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

The only valid unlockLevel numbers are 0 or 1. 0 for the first one and 1 for the second should give you the M95 (i.e. the 1 means "not unlocked").

Rofl. PB is worried about single player? Wait soooooo many in the community claim that pb cant do crap for mp. I'm just saying that pb isnt going to do anything for Singleplayer because they claim that they POLICE ONLINE PLAYERS. Hope thats clear.

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

oo sweet thank you a bunch! Thats exactly what I was trying to figure out.

Im not worrying about any PB w/e that is, I wont ever be playing online unless one day I was to move to a broadband provided area.

Thanks again.

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

>.< Could I get some help again lol. I sort of like the AK47 more than the AK101, and since theres not really any chinese maps that are city based I wanted to switch the Mec Assault gp30 with the gp25 the 25 is the ak47 the assault chinese guys have I think. But when I change all the gp30 to gp25 on the MecAssault in objects server, it just crashes half way loading any map with Mecs in it. What do I need to do?



-crap, I changed it back with my backup files but it still crashes while loading the map. AHHH whats going on. I backed up EVERYTHING before editing.

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

Should be a fairly simple change. In MEC_Assault.con just replace:
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RURIF_GP30
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RURGL_GP30
with
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RURIF_GP25
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RURGL_GP25

Your biggest problem is probably getting the files zipped back up properly. Most people extract the individual file to edit rather than extracting the whole thing. Rezipping the whole archive seems to cause problems for many people.

I don't see how the backup/restore wouldn't work. How did you back up?

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

ahh ya now doing that works fine, i just drag it to desktop, uncheck read only edit then check read only and drag over. It works fine for any class and nationality, but any map with MEC I cant play now, im so confused, anything with MEC just loads half way and crashes actually not even half way.

When I installed bf2 and sf, i made backups of objects_server and then just dragged over the kits file and overwrit it. But MEC still crashes. Dunno what else it could be. Thats only thing I edited.

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

You didn't mod any files other than objects_server.zip and only MEC_Assault.con in that zip file? If you PM me your email address I'll send you a zip with just the kit files with that weapon swap made. Instead of replacing objects_server.zip this will be loaded in addition to it by adding the filename to the top of serverArchives.con.

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

I just went ahead and reinstalled BF2 and SF. I edited something else by accident I think. Im not sure what youer talking about on serverarchives.

The serverArchives.con file tells BF2 which zip files to load when it runs a server (which is what SP actually is). (clientArchives.con does the same for client files.) Instead of modifying the actual objects_server.zip you can modify a copy and remove anything you aren't modding so you have a much smaller zip file (much easier to send by email). Then you add that filename to serverArchives.con so it loads after the objects_server.zip and its kit files will be used instead of the ones in objects_server.zip. Note that the files are loaded starting at the bottom so you want to add your mod zip at the top. Another benefit to this method is that if you create your own mod in a separate folder instead of in mods\bf2 you don't need to copy all the zips into your mod. All you need is the zip containing your modded files; the others can be pointed back to the vanilla bf2 folder (e.g. ../bf2/Objects_server.zip).

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

you lost me there lol. Are you saying edit severarchives.con and somewhere find objects server and change the path of which it is and thats it?

You lost me on the mod thing though.



Also a bit off topic-
CPU: 32C
System: 47C
GPU: 49C

Are these temperatures ok or too high? This is when im idle not doing anything.

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

Do this

Take Objects_server.zip and extract all files to a Temp folder some where. Edit the kits and place the weapon name in the files, like my Spec Ops edits are like this...

ObjectTemplate.addTemplate eurif_HK53A3
rem ObjectTemplate.addTemplate SIMRAD
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate USHGR_M67
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate c4_explosives
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate kni_knife
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate UnlockUSSpecops
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate UnlockUSSpecops2
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate usrif_fnscarl
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate ParachuteLauncher


I have the FN SCAR as itemindex 3 and I went to the hk53a3 and changed its item index to 2 (pistol) so I dont have a pistol but the 53a3 and the scar as my 2 and 3 slots. If you dont edit the itemindex in the actual gun tweak file you will crash.

Re: Editing Weapon Upgrades

lol you lost me. Im totally confused what your talking about. What I did to Insergeants and Spatz or w/e on SF is just change the gp30 to 25 and it worked fine, but when i did it for MEC it wont work.
