Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

... does that mean it would be a SSM? Im sure i sound stupid right now =). All the tweaks that ive done in my custom maps work as they were designed to when hosted on a dedicated server & if run locally. Does that mean i could take the same tweaks & put it into this OST.con file that everyone speaks of & everything would still work?

The easiest way to answer this question is to try it and test it. If you can make a mod to the files on a server, then connect with a 100% unmodded completely clean client, and have it works, then it works. If the client needs a copy of the file too, then it doesn't work.

Things that are never SSM: anything that changes graphics, new vehicles/weapons/etc, static objects (invis or not removed, if changed), no new kits, no modified kits, no new teams, and the list goes on.

Things usually not SSM: no change in magsize, number of mags, anything with networkableinfo that can't be removed, etc. But those are just "sometimes."

Actually you can change kits, but only a limited amount. You can add things to the empty slots but you can't remove things or replace them.
And the only object you can create successfully on every map is a jetpack.

Alright i think i understand that there is a major difference now. Does anyone know if "ObjectTemplate.itemIndex" works server side?

highly doubt it. If it did then it would probably be glitchy. very glitchy.

It doesn't.

And pink...I just said that! I didn't elaborate...but yes if you add a weapon to a kit as long as it's slot is empty it will work, but you will still see the animations of the weapon you were previously holding.

This works ssm:
Active US_Assault
addTemplate repairpack
addTemplate binoculars

This doesn't:
Active US_Assault
addTemplate exppack

As long as the item index of the weapon you're adding is empty in the kit you can add weapons.
