I want to give the sniper in all instant action/online maps (so not my own created map) a sight when you are in 3rd person view point like the other troopers. Where and how to chance the script?
Thanks

you have to munge the whole im edited imp side and copy its lvl into the gamedata/data/lvl_pc/sides folder (replace the old lvl, but make a copy before)

SniperScope = 1
ZoomFirstPerson = 1

This is my com_weap_inf_sniper_rifle.odf: (without edit)
These lines where already in place as follows:
Code: Select all
SniperScope = 1
ZoomFirstPerson = 1
So i mean: i want a sight for the normal view of the sniper, only the zoom now has a sight.
If you dont know what i mean with "sight" just tell me

i know my english is bad

ok one thing more, how to munge the com_weap_inf_sniper_rifle.odf file under BF2_ModTools\
assets\sides\Common?
This is under assets and not under a created map so its a special situation for me to munge...

Never change anything in the assets folder. Ever.
Never.

Exactly.
Copy the asset sides to your map project before you edit anything.
So you copy the side you want to edit to:
data_ABC/sides.
Then you make the changes there, then you munge the side.

yes but you need to chance the name, otherwise it will overwrite in the GameData\data\_lvl_pc\side
EDIT: or make a backup

Isn't overwriting the defualt lvls the point?
Oh yea, and you should read the rules.
