Oh, ok. So once I have the Objects.rfa ready for test: Battlefield1942\Mods\"MyMod"\Archives\"MyObjects.rfa" What is "init.con"? Do you mean setting up the Objects file correctly or else? Ah. I see what you mean. I've found the "Init.con" and will (try) to ed...

What is "init.con"? Do you mean setting up the Objects file correctly or else?

Hello. I've had an idea :idea: . I've seen the pattern of most mods (at least for BF1942), and I have an idea of how I might be able to create this mod. Ok, so we have a "Mods" folder. Then we have all the mods, including vanilla BF1942. My theory is (remember, you might laugh, but I'm rel...

Is there a section that you want to point me to or is that for me to explore ?

I did indeed back it up, and then some. In will certainly re-install, but how exactly do I create the mod that you are talking of?

Oh ok thanks ;) Also, would it be ok for me to rename my edited "Objects.rfa" file to something like "ObjectsEdited.rfa" or whatever to distinguish it form the vanilla one? Oh, and is there a practical way to rename the kits (e.g. "Scout" to "Sniper", "As...

Ah, right ;) So it seems relatively easy to change the weapons (from your example). I'll hopefully get around to trying that soon, and as I'll upload my progress. However, when I am ready to use my modified "kitpack" (if we make the assumption that I have only modified the "BritKits&q...
