Add information box to custom weapon?
« on: 08 Nov 2005, 21:20:09 »
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
Weeee...

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.
