[TUTORIAL] Adding custom weapons, gear, change skills and add custom crates to the AI

[KillingPigs123]

Alright guys, this might not work but I believe this should work to add custom gear and weapons to the AI.

Instructions:

1. Unpack your server.pbo

2. Go to <dir>\@DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server\EMS\ExtConfig and open DZMSAIConfig.sqf

 

(almost) Everything will be in that file to configure.

 

To add weapons:

1. Go around line 56 and you will see a big code with some weapons, go there.

2. Go to the bottom of the weapons in that section, you will see "M4A3_CCO_EP1" around line 72, add a , to the end of that.

3. Add the weapon type to the bottom, for example an RPG would be "RPG_7V"

4. That's how to make a weapon

(List of codes for weapons: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Weapons)

 

To add gear:

1. Go around line 130, you will see a bunch of items.

2. Next to "ItemPainKiller", put a , next to it.

3. Without spaces, add the item in quotation marks (eg. "ItemBloodBag")

4. You now have custom gear!

 

To add skills:

1. Go around line 13, you will see "Array of AI skills"

2. There is 4 sections, it will be of different stuff. Change the number to a higher number to improve the skills

3. You are done.

 

New Section: How to add new weapons/items to weapon crates:

1. Unpack your server.pbo

2. Go to <dir>\@DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server\EMS\ExtConfig and open DZMSWeaponCrateList.sqf

3. There will be a bunch of sections. Look for your section, and put a comma (,) next to the last weapon, then in quotation marks (") put the weapon code in. Full list of weapon codes shown below.

Do you know how to add Mounted guns like the M2 for the NPCs to use?

And what about adding Overwatch Weapons to the weapon crates? (Overpoch)

I tried this out, but all new added weapons never appear.

 

Update: I checked some more missions and now i've seen some of em ;)

It wouldn't work so well because they MIGHT walk around with it. Just search for the model name though.

Also, it works exactly the same
