Custon Weapons in MP

[Sgt.Crocodile 0]

How do make my custon weapons show up in MP.

I edited the "no restriction" file and its still not working.

This is for rifleman in platoon 1. Check it and see if you guys can see whats wrong, because when i'm about to get my custon weapons...it crashes.

What should i do, besides editing the "No restriction" file?

[Incubus 0]

I'm not positive, but everything there looks correct. I had a similar problem with the game crashing when I tried to access weapons from my first mod. It turned out that the problem I had was that the link to the .gun file within the .kit NEEDS to be all lowercase. No caps at all, and it worked for me. See if that's your problem.

Just make sure that in the .kit file you have (example):

<ItemFileName>fnp90.gun</ItemFileName>

and NOT

<ItemFileName>FNP90.gun</ItemFileName>

Hope that helps.

Yeah, it looks like your restriction file is fine. Which means it's a problem with the kit files or the guns they're linking to. If it's happening when you switch to your first custom gun, start looking at that one. Try making the gun file name lower case as Incubus suggested. If it still crashes, double- and triple-check your kit file to ensure that you haven't mistyped the name of the gun or something equally trivial. If that looks fine and the game is still crashing, move on to the gun and item files linked to by that first custom kit, and give them the same treatment. Change one thing at a time and try the game again to see if it crashes. Once it doesn't crash, you'll know what you changed that fixed it, so you can quickly repair the rest of the files if needed.

[Sgt.Crocodile 0]

Sniper kits and demo kits are fine.

Its wierd because all kits were done the same way and they all work in SP.

All gun files are using lowercase. and it cant be mistyping, because they were made with IGOR kit editor.

[Sgt.Crocodile 0]

Hey.....check this out:

If i cycle the kits forward, like kit 1, kit 2, kit3, kit4, .........and so on untill kit 80, i can see my weapons, BUT if i try go one more (kit 1 again) it crashes.

And it also crashes if a cycle the kits backwards.

So i guess its something between the the last and first kits.

But WHAT?

You're going at it in an entirely wrong way Croc. What you need to do is go to your mod folder then into kits, and then multiplayer.

These are all the kits in the Mp2 (Island Thunder) MP Kit folder:

demolitions-13.kit

demolitions-14.kit

demolitions-15.kit

demolitions-16.kit

demolitions-17.kit

demolitions-18.kit

demolitions-19.kit

demolitions-20.kit

heavy-weapons-13.kit

heavy-weapons-14.kit

heavy-weapons-15.kit

heavy-weapons-16.kit

heavy-weapons-17.kit

heavy-weapons-18.kit

heavy-weapons-19.kit

heavy-weapons-20.kit

heavy-weapons-21.kit

heavy-weapons-22.kit

heavy-weapons-23.kit

heavy-weapons-24.kit

mp_demo_primary04.kit

mp_demo_primary05.kit

restrictions-05.kit

restrictions-06.kit

restrictions-07.kit

restrictions-08.kit

rifleman-14.kit

rifleman-15.kit

rifleman-16.kit

rifleman-17.kit

rifleman-18.kit

rifleman-19.kit

rifleman-20.kit

rifleman-21.kit

rifleman-22.kit

rifleman-23.kit

rifleman-24.kit

rifleman-25.kit

sniper-13.kit

sniper-14.kit

sniper-15.kit

sniper-16.kit

So basically, you want another kit to show up, you put in let's say rifleman-26.kit and your new kit should now show up when you play as a Rifleman in MP.

Then, you add the name of the kit you just added to No Restrictions.

I think there are more than 80 kits, or the 81st is corrupted or refers to a bad file somewhere. I've found that GR crashes when there is a bad reticle, bad sounds, wrong model, or similar such thing. GR does not seem to care about texturing the guns, though.

Anyway, that's my best guess.

[ShoT 0]

Yeah I have to agree with you Thumper, GR doesn't care about any textures. CHR skins, GUN skins. I have to disagree with you, it also doesn't care about Rets and sounds, All it cares is about the model, the model is missing, you're screwed, even though I have noticed that now when I try to pick my SA80, there's nothing there for it... GR is really weird like that, weird and unpredictable.

[Sgt.Crocodile 0]

Then, you add the name of the kit you just added to No Restrictions

its done already

[ShoT 0]

Croc did you get it? Following my instructions?

[Sgt.Crocodile 0]

I did that already.

I can see Kit 01 to Kit 80.

But if click forward from kit 80 to kit 01, or backwards from kit 01 to kit 80...it will crash.

I can use all kits.......just cant cycle around.

The guns files are correct so far.

[Viper 0]

Looked over your no_restrictions file and it looks fine, but there is not 80 kit files in your .kil file, so how are you getting to 80? (did I miss something?) The only thing I can think of is that you have a problem somewere between 1 and 80 (like kit 81 if thier is one, or rather if it is in your .kil file but does not exist) If you type a kit file into the restriction file that does not exist then the game will crash when you try to select it, that is really the only thing I have found that will crash it like that (other than a missing .gun file) - if you are missing a gun .qob then usualy it will show your guy standing thier waving around an invisible gun.
