Add information box to custom weapon?

[Wildebeest]

You know that little "i" box at the corner of a BIS weapon in the Gear tab in OFP that shows you information about the weapon... how can I add one of those to my gun? Can it be done or ist it hard-codedly impossible?

I want to be able to display information about my weapon and magazines.

Thanks

Not completely impossible, but not very usable with single AddOns..

You need to edit a original OFP file called dataext.pbo (at least, can't remember if others were needed as well) to add your weapon info in there, you can't do it any other way...

I tried that once but couldn't get it to work, mainly figuring out how to assign the proper weapon to each of the information entries.

Wasn't me so don't know the exact details..
