Recommended Posts

i am trying to add 2 new mp characters to the game, i have inserted then into the mp actors folders 1,2,3,&4 but they do not show up, is there a certain thing i have to do to get them to be accecssible in gameplay?, i believe i have entitled them correctly, mp_plt1_cos & mp_plt1_bos and so forth.

is there a tutorial on this subject or can someone help me out plz?

If you want to have the original ones and them some more MP characters in hte same platoon you name them like the original ones but add _01 to the end of the filename (mp_plt1_asl_01.atr and so on). So the game knows which are rifle/demo and so on. Then you have to add them into all the KIL files as well or it won't work.

You need to add the actor into the .kil file. (using notepad) adding all the kits you wish to use with this model.

The set up is pretty simple when doing your actor file.

In the name section you can add a personal tag like <ActorName>Mercenary</ActorName>

Just make sure the .atr is included in the .kil file

eg..

<KitRestriction Name="No Restrictions">

<Actor Name="mp_plt1_asl.atr">

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-01.kit"/>

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-02.kit"/>

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-03.kit"/>

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-04.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-01.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-02.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-03.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-04.kit"/>

<Actor Name="mp_plt1_cos.atr">

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-01.kit"/>

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-02.kit"/>

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-03.kit"/>

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-04.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-01.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-02.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-03.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-04.kit"/>

<Actor Name="mp_plt1_bos.atr">

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-01.kit"/>

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-02.kit"/>

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-03.kit"/>

<Kit Name="heavy-weapons-04.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-01.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-02.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-03.kit"/>

<Kit Name="dieter_munz-04.kit"/>

Or whichever kits you wish to add.

okay so, i have to take the .kil files and update them so they include all the listings from the origmiss, mp1 and mp2 kit restrictions? add them in my mods folder in a kit folder then go and add my actor to theses files and inlclude what weapons will be available under each restriction? ...so this is alot of wrk right?...not that im not going to do it im just making sure i understand what i am doing...because i tried to add all the .kil files from mp2 and mp1 and origmiss but they have the samenames but not the same contents, so do i have to combine them into one .kil and then edit it to include my characters? or am i way off? or do i just need to create restrictions files for my characters and the ones in the origmiss,mp1, and mp2 folders will take care of the rest?

yes i tried that , even though i have done alot of skinning lately and have found out that the .rsb dosent have to have a _cuba or _des and if u wanna do it by hand in the actor file even the .chr dosn't. but anyway thats what i had to was go in the actor file using notepad and asign the jungle lod and model face files, there were no entries in there for jungle, that is why the actor wasn't responding when i was changing the .chr, anyway the real story is how long it took to me relize why the game was crashing after that. its because when nothing is asigned to the junglelods the entry looks something like this <junglelod\> and when there is it looks something like this <junglelod>jack_stone.chr</junglelod> but mine looked like this <junglelod\>jack_stone.chr</junglelod> yes because of that one lil "\" the game was crashing!!! :D:D:D man did i feel like a goof when i figured it out!!!

thx for your help guys...i appreciate how quik everyone on here is to respond its great!!!
