Additional weapons not in list.

[Mobhack]

And you do know that modified units in the core will revert to their database template on the next fix/upgrade cycle of the campaign?. Modified units should therefore not be offered in the core of a User Campaign, but only used for non-core support units (AUX or FIXED AUX). Core units must be absolutely stock units of the core nation's force.

Why remove the Dragunov? - well, what is the point in having 2 sniper rifles that differ only in the name, in an OOB that is already at the maximum of weapons. The freed up slot is worth more than the "flavour" of a renamed sniper rifle as it can be used later for something worthwhile like another tank gun or ATGM.

The Russian weapons list was full but there were things in it that could be removed. The Draganov was one of them. It will be replaced by the OSV-96 Hvy Sniper rifle in the next OOB set and all the units that carried draganovs will have the generic sniper rifle so I would strongly suggest you just leave the unit the way it is now. The only reason the OSV is going in is becasue it's significantly different in calibre and range.

I know there are folks who think we should include every sniper weapon ever used by every nation but we both consider that a useless waste of unit and weapon slots.

I'll just go ahead and use the sniper unit as is. I didn't realize that there was a weapons limit for each OOB.
Thanks again.

I'm having this issue where I have some guerilla infantry squads (mujadeen) that won't save the smoke ammo.
I set the smoke ammo amount using the first weapon slot button in the editor,yet when I test the scenerio,the units have zero smoke ammo.
Anything I can do about that?

Just tried that wit a rifle section, and it took the altered smoke number fine (5->3).

Make sure that it is "smoke ammo" you change, and not "smoke discharger shots". The latter is vehicle S/D.

Also - some unit classes (chiefly inf/AT inf/AA) as I recall, do not get smoke allocated. The game code may automatically zero these classes on a reload from a saved file.

The guerilla infantry squad unit type must also not allow smoke ammo,they will not accept anything. No real problem as the player gets an 82mm mortar they can throw smoke around with.

[Skirmisher]

Is there a way to make the player start each campaign scenario like a regular scenario? Meaning that the player won't be able to deploy at all.


Guess not.
