How can I add a weapon to another stock character? Like add a sniper rifle to the rebel engineer? Or a lightsaber to a dark trooper? Thanks in advance.

you can postscript the weapon through the .lua (ie adding it in without creating a stock side) or you can make a custom side and just change the weapon lines

how would I do this? Sry but I'm not used to this type of thing.

im not sure how to do the postscript thing but for custom sides read Caleb's tutorial on custom sides and Dann's odf guide for dummies
you could also use the search function im sure this has been answered before.

If you want to add a lightsaber to a dark trooper, read the 'Jedi Creation' document. That document also goes through how you create the custom sides.

ok thank you all of you
EDIT2: Arrgh! It's all too confusing for me - can't I just add that line to the lua!?

You've got to do it eventually, and now is as good of a time as any to do it. I can tell you that 3 minutes is not enough time to read the BF2 Jedi Creation.doc, so go and do that. If you follow through it (the side making part of it at the very least) with the assets they provide in jedi side example.zip, you should understand a good deal more.

When you start modding, you're supposed to go through and read all the docs even if you don't fully understand them. As you go along and gain more experience, you go back over them to understand what you didn't before.

If you haven't read at least all the documentation that came with the mod tools, you really shouldn't be asking so many questions. Especially when many of them are answered in those documents.

That goes for most of the new people who joined within the last 2 months too. Especially when you attempt to solve other people's problems, but only give them incorrect advice or lead them through a bunch of things they didn't need to do.
