Copying over kits
« on: 31-01-2019, 09:01:46 »
Hello there; I'm still plodding on with my mini-mod and have another question for the wizards out there.

For the Africa-front Germans, they're all using different kit items; some wear steel helmets, others field caps, others the 'pith' helmets. I'm trying to make all the soldiers wear the same steel helmets. My skills with dds / mesh editing are terrible, but I'm ok with copying over lines in tweak files  :)
So would anyone know which lines in which tweak files I should be editing so that all the soldier classes are re-directed to using the same kit display? I'm guessing it's somewhere inside objects_server.zip, but not sure beyond this point.

Any help is much appreciated as ever
Mark

From the top of my head you have to change the class of a kit for it to change kit parts. This is done in the actual kit .inc file. So that would be objects_server.zip /kits/GA/GA_AntiTank_k98.inc (for example)

Edit line: ObjectTemplate.geometry.kit c_kit_at
Into something like: ObjectTemplate.geometry.kit c_kit_rifleassault
(at least if i remember this correctly :))

More details can be found in objects/kits/geoms.con
