If you like Tanks, this is a must have addon!!

[Grendel]

I am not at all well versed in config.cpp editing, but I'll try to help...

Download the PBO-Decryptor and Make PBO applications from the editor depot page here at OFPEC.  Next, run the PBO-Decryptor, which will extract all the files that make up the addon.  Look for a file named Config.cpp, and open it with windows Notepad or Wordpad, and sift through all the lines of code.  I don't know what the specific lines are that determine the armor values for the tank, but if you look around, experiment, and cross you fingers you should be able to figure it out.  If the tank has it's own ammo specific for the addon, the damage values will be in the config as well, if it just uses stock BIS ammo, then you would have to define a whole new class and such (and someone else has to help you with that).

good luck

i dont have a clue where to start changing stuff or what to change or how to change it, am i doing something wrong or am i nearly there?

[Grendel]

it looks like its machine code...My CPU with OFP is down till tommorow (so I can't verify) but the pbo might be bianarized (encrypted) by the author, or I could just be speaking entirely out of my fourth point of contact (a$$) .

-Grendel

erm...Did you use PBO ENcryptor or DEcryptor? If you used encryptor, you probably re-encrypted the pbo.  You need to use the pbo decryptor.

Also, look for a config.cpp not the .bin

i had a look at the config and you can change the armor but to change the weapons power you would have to edit the whole DKMM_RSC file

Code: [Select]

ammo="DKMM_RSC_Shell125";
      reloadtime=5
      count=32
      displayName="L27A1 (CHARM 3)";
      displayNameMagazine="L27A1 (CHARM 3)";
      shortNameMagazine="L27A1 (CHARM 3)";
      sound[]={"\DKMM_RSC\sounds\cr2_120mm.wss",10,1};
      reloadSound[]={"\dkmm_rsc\sounds\autoreload.wss","db-10",1};
      backgroundreload=0
      nameSound="heat";
      canLock=2so it would be possible but you might end up messing up alot dkm addons :-\

[Grendel]

What if you just defined a whole new ammo class in the DKMM_RSC file, and then modified the challenger addon to use the new ammo?  This would keep the other addons from being affected.

well i definetly used the decryptor and the only config file i see is the config.bin

i tried decompressing another file and that had a notepad config.cpp but the one for the dkm challenger there is not .cpp file at all

am i opening the correct file. once the file is extracted you get the readme file and the DKMM_CR2.pbo and i find the dkmm_cr2.pbo file and decompresses

any other suggestions? hoe exactly did you get that oyman?

[blazer01]
