ARMA 2 Editor Tutorial - "Customized Loadouts - Infantry" [HD 720p]

[@chronicking100]

Thanks for uploading these video's man, they've made my experience much better, subscribing from the uk

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

links to classnames are in the description

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

@rickard767 This is Combined Ops (ARMA 2 and OA). The M16 Weapon Series is ARMA 2 Content. You cant use it if you just have OA installed. To add an Ammo Box to your Mission you double klick on the map in the Editor. Select Side - Empty , Category - Ammo and them choose the Box you want.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

@TheCPTV Dont really understand what you mean by that? If you wanna get colored smoke use the proper Classname in the Script. You can find the link to a List with all the Classnames in the description of this video.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Cheers mate, i`m glad you like my videos and thanks for subbing

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Well they carry them if the unit preset is set that way but they cant really handle them. So put stuff in or take it out.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

I think it does. Or even more like the UAV and ULB Modules. They were not available in ARMA 2 if im right.

[@mvictor722]

Thanks! It really helped me because I couldn't use LEA

[@Gam3rzulu]

thanks SwissMaverick I must say that all of your videos are well done, easy to follow and extremely helpful, Im glad I subbed

[@speedevil22]

Okay, so you recently replied to me in your video ArmA 3 Soldier's Best Friend and I figured this was a more fitting place to ask more questions. So, I got Play withSix and it fixed a lot, everything is there. EXCEPT WHAT I WANT. I distinctly remember in the editor that there was an option called "Other" where you could place stuff like "USMC Launchers" and "Magic Box" and other stuff. And that doesn't seem to be there anymore. I still have stuff like AE USAF and AE Navy. But cant find the boxes

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

In vanilla ArmA you`ll need a special script to make units respawn with scripted gear. In ACE, add the module to the mission

[@austinmurre]

its not letting me add ammo im typing this in tell me if its right. this addMagazine "17Rnd_9x19_glock17" ; other than that i have a g17

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

you`ll need a respawn script. can be downloaded from community websites.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Yeah it works the same way but you need the ACE Classnames obviously

[@Spectalys]

Selecting gear from the Briefing Screen In order to allow players to select gear from the briefing screen, before entering the mission, put this in your description.ext: class Weapons { class SCAR_H_LNG_Sniper {count = 1;}; class M4A1 {count = 8;}; }; class Magazines { class 30Rnd_556x45_Stanag {count = 50;}; }; Then from the briefing page before beginning the mission they can click on Units, then themselves and finally [Gear] armaholic(dot)com

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

You mean to put them in the Vehicle Gear right? I`m pretty sure its somehow possible but that probably needs some advanced scripting with which i am not familiar with.

[@h23-p3n]

I cant seem to add weapons and items from mods like the Robert Hammer weapons mods, how do i get around this?

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

are there mods by RH for ARMA 2? didnt know. either way, the classnames have to be right for it to work

[@h23-p3n]

ok, thx much m8, and yes, there are many RH mods, I think 5-6 different packs, and they are quite big, the only small one is the PDW pack

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Just copy this addMagazine "MagazineName"; multiple times in the Init Field as shown in the Example Script in the Description.

[@austinmurre]

whats the code for g36c ammo? i keep tying stuff

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Yeah it works: this addWeaponCargo, this addMagazinCargo. the cargo Space on vehicles is limited though. not sure if you can pack 10 T-10s in an A-10 for example. doesent make any sence anyway

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

ammobox filler script can be downloaded on community websites

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

No i dont. Set the units as Playable so they will become player slots in the MP Mission Lobby. Whatever you write in the description field will appear as unit name in the lobby

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

@TheCPTV I added a new Link in the Description called "BIS Forums". You can find colored Smokegrenades in the Weapons Post on that Page.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

No idea what to do, i am not into scripting. In ACE there is a Module you can place on the Map but that does not work in vanilla obviously.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

dunno what to tell you. if everything is correct with no missing ; or [ ] or what ever it does work

[@TheGamerfreak1555]

hey Swift im trying to make a RedDawn type of mission but i dont know how to get the Opfor to shoot at Civilians when they see them. do you know how or someone who does?

[@theangryscot6052]

What is the music used at the start of the video?

[@controllerhead47]

MW2 Sound track lol

[@nebed14]

i haz question... in operation arrowhead doe it include the same modules as in arma 2? because i can only afford OA and i chose to buy that because of its new features

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Hmm, no idea actually. You could try addWeaponCargo

[@ShOoTiNgDaN]

Can you tell me the class name for the dmr and dmr mags cause i went on the websites in the description but for me it sas Missing ;

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

I tried out some stuff but i dont get it to work either. AI cant handle them anyway and you as player can grab one from an Ammobox at Mission Start.

[@MHeXtreme442]

This helped alot thanks. My question is how can I add an empty backpack to a soldier as default or even just get them from and ammo crate. I have searched so much with no luck. I can get them into the crate but it will not let me remove and equip one. I am using combined ops with all DLC. Any help greatly appreciated

[@budrobadre]

why does this not have 1mil views yet?

[@austinmurre]

pleas i`ve look every where on every site you`ve given me. pleas pleas pleas just tell me how to give a unit a glock17 with 2 ammo clips....

[@Athens561987]

MAVERICK is there a way to make custom/modded units to work with the "warfare" or "Ambient Combat" module in the Editor? I heard they only work with the vanilla/original Arma 2 units....I just want a random battle to use the factions i just downloaded...

[@ArcherAC3]

So, like, to add two Mines, you write the "add magazine Mine" script two times?

[@D77Gaming]

wow... I have done everything shown here, in the comments, Armaholics, description, all that, but I still can't get it to work. I now get a pop up that used to say I was missing '';'', but now I get that pop up with nothing notified. I don't get it??????

[@peterdonaldson1]

Is there a Blufor ,USMC,US Army or BAF(not French) radio operators loadout with classnames? I cant find one anywere.

[@TheCPTV]

@TheSwissMAVERICK i mean on that page with the weapon names, i dont see colored smoke gernades classname or whatever its called. :s

[@rebelstormt]

Hi can you please make tell me if its possible to make a unit injured lying down on the ground in order to pick him up?

[@BUSHWOOKIEPLAYS]

is there a way or program I can use to find out classnames of addons I want to find out the class name of the AAW alice pack

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Kieran Watson you can google for the vanilla A3 classnames. Classnames from Mod objects are sometimes in a readme file in the modfolder. you can also contact the mod autor if you cant find anything

[@BUSHWOOKIEPLAYS]

thank you. how would I go about contacting such a big auther like the people behind austrailians at war?

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Kieran Watson i suggest a PM on Armaholic

[@PiNKMuDSimGaming]

BUSHWOOKIE PLAYS Hey m8 did you ever end up finding the class name for the Alice Pack I am searching everywhere for it can't find it in any of the readme's or PDF's that came with the AAW mod or the weapons pack please tell me you have found it by now? would appreciate it heaps if you could help me out.

[@BUSHWOOKIEPLAYS]

I didn't no

[@punkbro2]

Do you know were I might be able to find a loadout script that supports respawns.

[@rickard767]

what is the backpacks class? like add_weapon or add_magazine??

[@MrSirPro]

How do you preset stuff into your backpack that you added?

[@Jokerr303]

Hey man, hopefully you see this. How do you make them respawn with their original weapons, mags and a backpack. Iv'e been trying to figure this out for a while.... thanks.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

No. you need to copy paste it into every units init field.

[@welsh2266]

nice vid. im after a way to give all my ai a real life ammo load out, but did i read correctly that they cant as they dont carry back packs?

[@Snadaaahhh]

Is it possible to do this with mods? I have a british army mod,but they have m4s,i also have the uk weapons mod and another uk mod that has l85s but wrong camo,can i give the ones with m4s l85s?

[@TacticalHeroGaming]

Hey TheSwissMAVERICK, can you show us how to set up a respawn in the editor for MP or SP missions?

[@caquentus]

I want to play as a civilian / independent on mode "Scenarios" in Singleplayer ... Could you tell me how to do this, if you like? Thank you and sorry for the english, I'm Brazilian.

[@Tin_Can]

How do I remove all items in a weapons crate, and then put in my own choice of items (preferably only using an init line script if its possible)

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

no idea, i`m not into map editing but i think you need some special software for that.

[@angrypolak0165]

how do you have the US faction? I don't have that in the Arma2 editor please show how.

[@angrypolak0165]

JohnTheGreat7822 how would you install the DLC to Amra?

[@Mr99francesco99]

when i try to chose a weapon for a soldier the game says: no entry: /.bin/config"CLASSNAME" or something like... why?

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

@Shady4782 I just posted a Link in the Description!

[@shannonthemason]

great vids. I have managed to do this but i am unable to add 81mm HE ammo to anything. I have tried everything, please help

[@austinmurre]

thanks

[@neurogenica]

What if you only want to change the rifle of a unit? How do you do that?

[@taskforce1015]

I can change the type of gun? as the m9 I can replace with the g17c?

[@Millermacs]

If you want to add a sidearm to a soldier, type this in to the "Initialization" box. this giveWeapon "glock17_EP1" If the soldier starts out with an M9, just add this in the "Initialization" box before the Glock command. removeAllWeapons

[@Seth9809]

I am so glad I found this video, I have the AI having raging pistol battles and it's epic.

[@Kredis94]

Really a nice guide, and I loved the ACE tutorial! Can I customize my gear this way with ACE's items and weapons? I'd like to add spotter scope and kettler to the mission I created. Sorry if I made some mistake, my english isn't really good :)

[@rickard767]

isnt this arma 2 OA? and how can you use an m16a4? and how do you put out ammo boxes in the editor??

[@austinmurre]

wait are you dutch?

[@Lost_one231]

You know what the classname for the tracer is? for Any mag?

[@manuellabor2759]

+Darune snadstorn there is none. I remember reading when the mag is almost empty, i'm guessing at 25% left, tracers are more frequently fired. This is to let the user know.

[@jodymiller7604]

okay so i type in the think exactly how the description says, but with correct info and it says "Missing ;"

[@DeviousChimps]

how do you get that fob in game tell me

[@jamesparker789]

Is there a way to add stuff to your back pack?

[@punkbro2]

Hey i am making a mp mission and I maid a loadout that everyone has at the start of the game but after they respawn they don't have there staring loadout that I maid.

[@Seth9809]

Is there a way to add partially loaded magazines?

[@Jokerr303]

I've got that and everything works except the backpack. And for the life of me i can't get the backpack to respawn with me. I am pretty new to scripting too.

[@KRamaker92]

Thanks for the tut .. :)!

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

With Mission Start i mean the beginning of the mission not an actual location.

[@ArcherAC3]

Do you know an Ace Mod objects library?

[@mojo0o05]

Very helpful thank you!

[@thevolvo945fan]

where do i find the names of all the equipment??

[@Millermacs]

Here ;D www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class151656165165341654165165165165f/index.php

[@thevolvo945fan]

thx

[@xTheElectroHouseDJx]

when i die i respawn with the default gear of the soldier, how do i make it respawn with the gear i want ?!

[@johndoe4004]

how do you init items like itemgps and such things in misc

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

I guess you`ll need a respawn script that supports loadout respawn aswell.

[@siaxis1]

Hey man! I think we've played a squad together in the old TWC server!

[@LukeC15]

can you do this for vehicles. like give a plane 10 t-10 parachutes?

[@zdtgbnkopljiygdrwasadgjlot6565]

I find it REALLY ironic that he used COD music as the intro for an ARMA video

[@fight2IDIE]

ho wdo you add more than 1 magazine for your weapon(s) ?

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

You missed to tipe one of those " ; " in your init line script.

[@NinjaGamer1999]

How do you spawn with this customized loadout after dieing and respawning?

[@TJ201093]

ok, i got an AI unit to have a gasmask in his inventory.. how do i get him to equip it?

[@johndoe4004]

i dont think so but if you have the normal arma 2 plus OA then you will have a dmr sykes uses one in the harvest red story put in the code below this addMagazine "20Rnd_762x51_DMR";this addWeapon "DMR";this selectWeapon "DMR";

[@TheCPTV]

what about smoke gernades with colors?

[@briantien7146]

I can't be bothered changing everything :(does anyone know a replacement pack or something to change the Delta Force SF SCARs into M4s

[@Seth9809]

If you type in the stats once, you can copy and paste the soldier. Also you can copy and paste each magazine you add to the inventory. So all you need to do is empty the inv, add the scar, add one mag to be golden. You just Control C and Control P till the guy has eight mags. Then you copy and paste him as needed.

[@LlamaMommaDrama]

damn, i still can't figure out how to add stuff to a backpack that's currently on a soldier. i know the script is -"backpackname" backpackspacefor "weapon/magazine"- but it gives me an error... anyone know how to do this?

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

take another look at the description...

[@headshot22331]

How do you spawn items in a backpack?

[@jmullentech]

+headshot22331 I use Google for this

[@funnygamer678]

wain i go to the editor i cant find the ammo box ware is

[@iteclash9558]

Could you make a tutorial on how to make a big scale map like urban combat I'm new to Arma II, thanks. Also great vid!

[@welsh2266]

i thought there was a mod called ai rearm where the ai will re arm from ammo around dead bodies or trucks mate.

[@xXStrigon11Xx]

Can u do it for everyone at once?

[@angelooo23gr]

how i can make my unit to respawn in mp NO waepon just clean player?

[@Gam3rzulu]

yes, yes it does, brilliantly

[@solidstate555uk]

Put across very well, thanks. A+++

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

possible but im not talking about a mod here

[@Shady4782]

Does anyone know where a list is of all ACEX initialization names are?

[@LukeC15]

i was thinking more of a c-47 from I44. and thanks
