How to Modify kits

[MajorBummer867]

Can someone please tell me how to edit the kits in BFV.

This is not SSM, but I will show the CSM way;
Extract your Object.con to your desktop(or wherever, I use Desktop)
Find the Folder named "Items"
Open it and locate the Country of which the kit originates from; ie objects>items>specialforces <-- for the kits located with the SpecialForces(Ho Chi Minh and stuff)
In the folder you should see: Assault, Engineer, HeavyAssault, and recon.
Copy the the folder of the kit you wish to modify and paste it somewhere esle; then rename it to the name of the kit you want it to be.
Open the Copied folder and open the objects.con in it with notepad(wordpad, textpad, whatever).
Change the line ObjectTemplate.create Kit SpecialForces_Assault to whatever the new kits name is, so for example: ObjectTemplate.create Kit NewKit.
Then go about changing the items in the kit.
Below is what it should look like.

Code: Select all

rem **Kit Choice 1 **

ObjectTemplate.create NewKit
ObjectTemplate.type Assault
rem ObjectTemplate.kitTeam 2
ObjectTemplate.geometry Kit_SpecialForces_Assault
ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionPhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.networkableInfo KitInfo

ObjectTemplate.setKitSpeedFactor 1.05
ObjectTemplate.setKitAccelFactor 1.0


rem ObjectTemplate.healthBarIcon "Ingame/Healthbar_empty_assault_64x64.tga"
rem ObjectTemplate.healthBarFullIcon "Ingame/Healthbar_full_assault_64x64.tga"
ObjectTemplate.healthBarIcon "Menu/hud/guage03empty.tga"
ObjectTemplate.healthBarFullIcon "Menu/hud/guage03fullorange.tga"
ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/USKnife.dds"
ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/44magnum.dds"
ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/Car15.dds"
ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/USGrenade.dds"
ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/Binoculars.dds"
ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/medkit.dds"

ObjectTemplate.setKitIcon 17 "Weapon/Car15.dds"
ObjectTemplate.setKitName 17 "SpecialForces_Assault"
ObjectTemplate.setKitActiveName 17 "RESPAWN_ACTIVE_ASSAULT"

ObjectTemplate.addTemplate KnifeAllies           <--- modify what is in the kits down here!
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate 44Magnum
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Car15
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate RPG7V
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Binoculars
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate MedPack
ObjectTemplate.aitemplate Assault

Once again, this is CSM(or atleast I think >.>), not SSM.
This also might have mistakes, feel free to correct me

Sounds like you are new to 1942/BFV modding...start here...:

That still doesn't help me to modify the kits

OK, well what is your skill level? Sasha told you how, but if you don't even know where *any* objects.con is, well that's a problem. Download winRFA if you haven't already, and start poking around RFA files. Oh, but make sure you make BACKUPS before you change anything...

^What he said! Always backup your files! Most of the rfa's used for modding can be found @ My Computer>C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield Vietnam\mods\bfvietnam\Archives, and beyond.

I can not find object.con in winRFA though

No no, you're looking for objects.rfa. So navigate here:

EDIT: Oh crap! So sorry, I did not notice that I said objects.con instead of .rfa in my first post.

Ok, I made the kits, I think, how do i add them to the mod?
