Hello people,
I have a question about the Mortar M252.
when i played PR just a day ago, i just used it for the first time in SP,
and i was asking myself, if it is possible to Mod this weapon.
Like editing the amount of ammo, the fire rate etc..
I know how to edit the file, but i can't find anything about it in the tweak file.
also, i'm just editing for myself. i know that with editing you can't play online, that is the reason that i got installed PR twice. because i had to install windows again, and i got BF2 installed on a other partition. So, just for own use, makeing some fun with bots.
But i just want to know, if it is possible to mod/edit the mortar, and which file i need to edit, and what i need to edit, so maybe an little example would be great.

if I can hijack this topic slightly with another question. Does the mortar actually fire rounds from the tube and lobs them over the map? Because I thought objects/munition disapears when out of sight or something.

yes, as dose arty. and the problem your talking about is some weapons dont play there effects when fired from out of the players VD, but they still explode but mortars etc are made so that doesn't happen to them, although not sure how exactly.

ok cool! Didnt know about the arty as well. Thanks for that! I thought those cannons where needed for the engine and the bullets where "created" in the sky where they where ordered. Thanks for the answer Rhino

okay, but then i think i might have a problem.
because the .tweak file i got, only got 123 lines.
i got the file from object/weapon_server/stationary/mortar_deployable_m252.
and it only got 123 lines. :/

Search for "Ammo" in the file and you will find it...

I did, and normally with handed weapon i always do the same,
searching for ammo.
but it says that there aint no word "Ammo".
i'm working with Notepad++ and i just can't find it.
because it aint there.
you also have more lines then me. Weird :/
I also check the original folder, the one i installed yesterday, and also there i cant find anything.

And it's the same as the edited .tweak file.

going by it has "ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser "HP_Owner"" in pretty much every line, it looks like you have modified it with the BF2 editor and its deleted a load of stuff...
