hey. I've been messing around with the XML files, and the weapons.xml does not read properly for one reason or another. it says there is an illegal symbol in a name, but all I did was tweak the ranges and RoF. any help?

I have replaced the obsolete M16A1/203 with a Colt M4 Commando/203 in weapons.xml, items.xml, Big items sti and Interface sti.

I have copied and added the tag 902 into items.xml, but my gun neither has the M203 as default attatchment upon delivery from BR nor will it accept the M203 as a normal attatchment, nor will it accept a 40 mm grenade.

We do not have the combo M16A1/M203 (as an item with its own pic) in basic 1.13. Are you playing a mod?

Attachments.xml does indeed have an entry that allows to attach the M203PI (item 902) to the M4 Commando (item 12), so you should definitely be able to attach it (in basic 1.13!).

Did you add the default-attachment entry to items.xml /after/ ordering the gun from BR?

And again the question: are you playing a mod, not basic 1.13?



EDIT: if your new M4 Commando/M203 is not item 12, but another item, then attachments.xml should have an entry for that new item, of course.

Right, to cut the long story short, I finally got my younger brother to try JA2, and he's adamant about playing with only one character (hrmph, that's the ADD generation for ya, not in my days...!). He wants to carry lots of weapons, too, so I was thinking of re-enabling the upgrade kits (Medical, Field ops etc.) for NIV version for some extra inventory space. This I think can be done just by editing the itemsize entries in items.xml with some xml editor?

DBB adds a lot of nifty stuff so using that would of course be preferred to the normal 1.13, but looking at the items.xml entries there, most of the upgrade stuff is overwritten by the new additions, so is there any easy way of adding them back?

Ah and finally, carry weight limit would of course become an issue even with a STR 100 character, is there any easy way to circumvent this?
