Adding custom Weapons to Epoch

[lordgeorge]

Hey guys

 

Plain and simple.

I have researched allot into this and do appreciate that one of the easiest ways to get custom weapons into a epoch server would be to have matching pbo files on both client and server.

Is there any other possible way of doing this ?

As epoch runs off arma 2, surely there is somewhere weapons can be put on the server to allow non standard weapons.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but addons are very much a grey area for me at the moment :)

 

Cheers

from my understanding you need to change the dayz_code to add the weapon then have a download link so people can download that and install it off you

[lordgeorge]

I do agree that is a known way t do so, my understanding is. you load arma 2 OA to play dayz, just like everyone else. Why not allow the use the weapons on arma aswell.

Maybe upload the files from arma to server and start the pbo on startup in a arma oa folder and make cleints use a parameter to load the specific arma weapon PBO ?

Hmmm, Im no expert by a long shot.

Im currently testing the following.

Uploaded weapons pbo and bsign files into a addons folder within a @Common file on the root of the server.

Then used the -mod=@Common in commander.

May be a easy work around.

There is obviously something big in the way and little to no people have done this to my knowledge.

I am now going to add some weapons i know deffinately were not in epoch to the AH spawn list and see what it does :)

will report back.

Are you talking about weapons from other mods, or weapons that exist in Arma 2?  The latter is very easy... just add them to the trader, and possibly address any battleye restrictions.  You can find a full list of what's in the core game and its expansions here:
