Hi folks, trying to learn weapons loadout editing. I tried editing the ah64 weapons loadout in weapons.ini. Found the ah 64 entry and tried to add sidewinder and air to grd weapons. I believe Maverick missile. I copied the a-10 laodout and changed the name to ah64 but does not show. The cockpit button how would one change it to a radar station or substitute say a top gunner position to the radar? Doe it need Java coding knowledge or simply edits? I coem from thirdwire sims so I am somewhat new to editing. Thx.

To add or remove weapon loads, it is not enough to modify a text file that serves ... which is useless !
It is necessary to modify the Java file of the plane, in the best case, or to modify the COD file of the plane if this one uses one!

Assuming you mean weapons.properties, that's a cosmetic file—it doesn't control weapon loadouts, just the names of the loadouts. If you want to edit loadouts, you're going to need a COD editor and/or Java development environment, depending on which aircraft you want to edit the loadouts of. Some loadouts are hard-coded into the plane's Java classfile, while others use the COD system.

You can find out how to edit Java classfiles for modding IL-2 in the SuperSchool Tutorials section. COD editing is different though; as far as I know, COD editors are not hosted on SAS. There is a way to bypass COD loadouts in an aircraft's Java classfile, but I forget exactly how it's done.

Yes.

But if I remember correctly, you need the BAT pack or the Mod Engine... if I remember correctly!

Gabriel,
Why would that page you linked to be off limits to me?

Gloups !     
I thought it was in the "SuperSchool" forum!

Man... what's the point of excluding people from joining the modding community?
Don't you want more modders?
I learned some java in college and I was hoping to learn more about the loadout codes myself, then I hit this wall

Meh

   Personally I would be happy to give you more information, but this code was part of a topic for the designers of the BAT and Engines Mod pack!
So I used this code for my 409 game but as I am not the author of the initial code and the topic concerned I can't do anything more...
You should ask the authors...
Don't forget that this option is included in the BAT pack!

Sorry I over-reacted, I apologize. I understand you're just trying to help!
I just wish there is more info posted on SuperSchool so everyone can learn.

S!

I checked in BAT 4.0 Aircraft.class and see that the IgnoreCodWeapon property is implemented. So at least from that version of BAT and later, one can easily edit the relevant classfile for an aircraft and bypass the cod file's loadout.
