Blank briefing with selectable weapons
« on: 30 May 2003, 01:23:23 »
I hope I'm not considered as lazy for this, but I was wondering if anybody had made a blank briefing with all weapons selectable in it? i.e. the mission information needs to be filled in but the option to choose weapons and ammo is already there.
I know it's not that hard to do, but I'm a bit of a n00b and I would find this kind of thing to be very useful.

 The weapons selection goes in your description.ext and not the briefing ;)

check here:

about halfway down the list or so is a description.ext tutorial

So I have just learned, but wouldn't it be nice if it DID work that way?

Thanks for the reply.

Hey man, I use Chris's OFP Editing tool , which is very helpful for scripts, briefings, etc. There are some other good ones under the Tools section in the Editor's Depot that make it much easier than trying to copy from someone else's template!  :D

Is Chris' editing tool up-to-date with Resistance and all the new weapons that are part of it- like the FN-FAL and all that?

Black Fox, even for a noob it would be very easy for you to make your own file with all the weapons in it.     If you get hold of the Tutorial Mission from the Ed Depot it has a description.ext file for you to use as a template.    It already has quite a lot of weapons in it, and all you would need to do is look at the Weapons and Ammo listing and add the weapons that weren't already there.      The most complext part of this operation would be unzipping the download, so you shouldn't have any trouble.

Read the tutes as well though, so you understand what's going on.    Any problems, give us a shout.  ;)

Oh, and

Thanks, macguba, I'll give it a shot, and yes, I'll yell out if I have any questions.
