New Soldier Class

[omnicrom]

Can anyone help, or point me to an existing tutorial on how to create new soldier classes for Mutliplay. Examples of this being done can be found inthe HX3 Desert assault MOD which adds An Assasin and a Mercenary.

Simply:

1 . Browse to your ghostrecon\mods\yourmod\actor\mp actor files\ folder

2. Browse again to Platoon 1

3. Make a copy of one of the existing ATR's (eg. mp_plt1_asl.atr)

4. Rename new file to something else (eg. mp_plt1_cov.atr)

5. Open new ATR with notepad and look for this line:

<ActorName>@MP_atr_rif</ActorName>

6. Change it to your new class (eg. Mercenary) so it looks like this:

<ActorName>Mercenary</ActorName>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

REPEAT FOR EACH MP PLATOON (eg. mp_plt1_cov.atr becomes mp_plt2_cov.atr)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Browse to your ghostrecon\mods\yourmod\kits\ folder

2. Open the MP restriction you want to use (eg. no_restrictions.kil) with notepad.

3. You will see stuff like:

<Actor Name="mp_plt1_asl.atr">

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

</Actor>

In this example its all the weapons that will be available to the rifleman. You need to duplicate this info for each platoon and change the ATR reference. Eg.

<Actor Name="mp_plt1_cov.atr">

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

</Actor>

4. Load up GR, select your restriction, and play with your new class.
