Adding mod weapons to traders ect.

[Huskie19 8]

Let me first apologize if this is in the wrong section please move. TIA.

So let me start by saying I'm very new to server administration and modding especially for Arma 3.

Ok to the point. What i am wondering is, is there a definitive clear and  easy to understand tutorial on how to add community created weapons ect to a server i.e to traders, loot tables and so forth.

I have scoured the forums for maybe 3-4 hours now and can't find anything that is generic to my needs. I have seen many a thread on adding mods but some of them are pretty vague on how to go about it for a "Bambi" like myself and possibly others.

So if anyone can point to a tutorial whether it be a written one or a video it would be very much appreciated.

Regards Huskie.

Find "class CfgExileArsenal" in you config.cpp and add the following 2 lines inside it.

Spoiler

    #include "TRADERS\CUPW\ItemListCUPW.hpp"
    #include "TRADERS\CUPV\ItemListCUPV.hpp"

Then place the folder that is inside the below zip file into you Exile.altis.pdo or whatever map you use.

http://tdsgamers.com/dump/TRADERS.zip

 

This is only for CUP weapons and Vehicles and the lists i have given you are the ones i use on my live server so you might need to add/remove some weapons or vehicles.

try this: http://exile.majormittens.co.uk/topic/8586-updated-easy-trader-set-up/

I put simple instructions in there and most of the popular mod files required

Thanks @Zero but I'm looking for something more generic and broad rather then something that is for one specific mod e.g CUP. I know the weapon packs i want to use just really looking for a "How to for newbies" lol.

Thanks @red_ned ill have a good long read over that and start setting up a test server so i don't collapse a black hole on my live server. Lol

if you want to do it in your config file there's 3 things you should know:

1. class CfgExileArsenal -> sets selling price (and buying price) either individually (like the bambi uniform line at the top) or using the selling multiplier

2. class CfgTraderCategories -> sets items into group classes used in the actual trader load out (classes must be unique)

3. class CfgTraders -> sets which group of items (CfgTraderCategories ) is in which trader to sell (you can put something in CfgExileArsenal and not this for the item only to be purchased by the trader), you can put groups in multiple traders.

e.g.

Quote

CfgExileArsenal

{ 

class U_C_Journalist        { quality = 1; price = 20; };

};

sets price for item

CfgTraderCategories

{

 class Uniforms
 {
  name = "Uniforms";
  icon = "a3\ui_f\data\gui\Rsc\RscDisplayArsenal\uniform_ca.paa";
  items[] =
  {
   "U_C_Journalist"

};

};

adds item to "uniforms" group class

 class Exile_Trader_Equipment
 { 
  name = "EQUIPMENT";
  showWeaponFilter = 0;
  categories[] =
  {
   "Uniforms"
  };
 };

adds "uniforms" class to the "equipment" trader

@red_ned how would one go about adding to the trader list, i'd like to add to it the RHm4/m16, RHpistols,RHacc and the ASDG-Joint-Rails. I myself personally like the quality of Robert Hammer's weapon packs over cup and RHS and i think it would set my server apart from some of the others that use RHS ect.

well the readme file in m4/m16 download has the classes so if you are using the config way you could just add each class into existing framework

Quote

CfgExileArsenal

{ 

  RH_m4      { quality = 1; price = 200; };

};

then add it into the relevant group class

Quote

 class AssaultRifles
 {
  name = "Assault Rifles";
  icon = "a3\ui_f\data\gui\Rsc\RscDisplayArsenal\itemacc_ca.paa";
  items[] =
  {

"RH_m4"

};

just add to bottom of each of those 2 and it would just turn up at the end of the normal exile list but you get no dropdown for those mod item types.

Otherwise look at how I set out the 2 files for each mod in the easy trader and copy the way I laid them out, remembering to make the group classes for the new mods unique

[Huskie19 8]

@red_ned when you say make the "group classes for the new mods unique" what exactly do you mean,  is that "class assault rifles"  that needs to be unique or is it something else. I'm such a bambi  to modding i and such but I'm really enjoying it to be honest that i wish i started doing it years ago.

[red_ned 658]

@Huskie19 you would do something like this

under existing weapon prices (CfgExileArsenal ) add this (I got all m4/m16 from the readme) and I haven't priced anything particularly you can adjust to fit
