Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

I know this is for BF1942... but I had a similar experience in BFV when attempting to alter the machinegun on the M113 vehicle. You can read that post .

Basically what I learned is that sometimes a projectile is defined within a specific vehicle's Weapons.con file. So in order for me to change the machinegun on the M113 I ended up having to open the Sheridan's Weapons.con file. I'm just guessing that the Humvee weapon you're attempting to alter might be defined in another vehicle's Weapons.con file. Good luck

Humvee50Cal_PCO1 sounds promising (for obvious reasons)........which leads us here:

** Rem Humvee Machine Gun Mount
rem *** Humvee50Cal_PCO1 ***
ObjectTemplate.create PlayerControlObject Humvee50Cal_PCO1
ObjectTemplate.setNetworkableInfo HumveeBodyInfo
ObjectTemplate.aiTemplate HumveeTopMG
rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate HumveeEntry
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/-1.9/0.98
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate HumveeEntry
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/-1.9/-3.42
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Humvee50Cal_Holder
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -.2/0/-.2
ObjectTemplate.setRotation 0/0/0

Look at the addTemplate lines. HumveeEntry? I doubt thats going to lead us to the weapon. Humvee50Cal_Holder? Yeah, its just a holder, but maybe the gun is attached to it. lets scroll down and find it...

rem *** 50Cal_Holder ***
ObjectTemplate.create RotationalBundle Humvee50Cal_Holder
ObjectTemplate.setNetworkableInfo HumveeTurretInfo
rem ObjectTemplate.loadSoundScript Sounds/M1A1Turret.ssc
ObjectTemplate.geometry Humvee_Turret

ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Humvee_50Cal_console
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0.2/-.9
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Humvee50CalSeat
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/-.4/.2
ObjectTemplate.setRotation -179.99/0/0

Again...50Cal_Console sounds promising...that leads to (literally a few lines down):

rem *** Humvee_50Cal_console ***
ObjectTemplate.create RotationalBundle Humvee_50Cal_console
ObjectTemplate.setNetworkableInfo HumveeGunInfo
ObjectTemplate.geometry Humvee_MGun_mount_M1

There she is!!! Browning. Thats what you're looking for.

The browning is found in objects/stationary_weapons/Browning/objects.con. Default projectile is 50cal_Projectile.

Iced Earth is the man, he knows his $hiznit

BrowningHiPo is the pistol. MG42....
And yes, "Follow the bread crumbs!", because Objects.rfa has all your answers. Always.

Yup YW man....looks like you've got a nice bot killer going there, lol.

If you want to get the humvee to steer in the water, you're going to need a rudder from a plane...without looking I would .active the humveecomplex, then go to a jets physics.con file i think, find a rudder, and addtemplate it to the humvee. Make sure the rotation is copied, too...this is the most important part.

Iced, I just use LCVP rudders on my amphibious vehicles. I think plane's have networkableinfo.
