NEW UPDATE, YAY!

How to give vehicles built in UAV's.

!Warning! You need to make a new mod folder.

Do this by copying your xpack folder and pasting it into BF2's mod folder and naming it "ownage" or something, whatever you want as long as it doesent say "Copy Of Xpack".

Now to begin. In your new mod folder, open the "Objects_server" zip and go into the Objects folder then vehicles then this bit is up to you, but lets give the Apache a radar k? Now go into "xpak_vehicles" and select the "xpak_apache" folder, in there is a file called "xpak_apache.tweak" drag that out to the desktop or wherever you want to edit it, but leave that zip open, not because you have to, but opening all those folders again gets a bit boring. Now open the tweak file with notepad and in that tweak file locate a line that says...

Code:

rem ---BeginComp:HelpHud ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent HelpHud
ObjectTemplate.HelpHud.helpStringKey "HUD_HELP_VEHICLE_HELO_PILOT_CONTROLS_deployFlares"
ObjectTemplate.HelpHud.helpSoundKey "HUD_HELP_VEHICLE_HELO_PILOT_CONTROLS_deployFlares"
ObjectTemplate.HelpHud.lowArmorHelpSoundKey "HUD_HELP_VEHICLE_HELO_LOWHEALTH_useFriendlyRepairStation"
ObjectTemplate.HelpHud.lowArmorHelpStringKey "HUD_HELP_VEHICLE_HELO_LOWHEALTH_useFriendlyRepairStation"
rem ---EndComp ---

Now under that paste in the following text string.

Code:

rem ---BeginComp:Ability ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent Ability
ObjectTemplate.Ability.radarRadius 70
rem ---EndComp ---

So it looks like this.

Code:

rem ---BeginComp:HelpHud ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent HelpHud
ObjectTemplate.HelpHud.helpStringKey "HUD_HELP_VEHICLE_HELO_PILOT_CONTROLS_deployFlares"
ObjectTemplate.HelpHud.helpSoundKey "HUD_HELP_VEHICLE_HELO_PILOT_CONTROLS_deployFlares"
ObjectTemplate.HelpHud.lowArmorHelpSoundKey "HUD_HELP_VEHICLE_HELO_LOWHEALTH_useFriendlyRepairStation"
ObjectTemplate.HelpHud.lowArmorHelpStringKey "HUD_HELP_VEHICLE_HELO_LOWHEALTH_useFriendlyRepairStation"
rem ---EndComp ---
rem ---BeginComp:Ability ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent Ability
ObjectTemplate.Ability.radarRadius 70
rem ---EndComp ---

Now save that tweak file to the desktop and then drag it into the Apache vehicle folder and it will replace that tweak file with the one you edited. Now start up your custom mod and play Iron Gator or something, and fly the Apache, if done right it shoud have a built in UAV, if it wont work for you, let me know exactly what you did so I can point out what you did wrong. Ok have fun!

by xpack i assume you are referrring to Special Forces which you only need if you want to add Special Fores content - you can obviously mess around without it
I'm going to try this later anyway with euroforces vs china on karkand

Wonder if it would be possible to have built-in artillery guns? Or even better make the Abrams fire an automatic artillery gun?

There's a mini-mod where you can fire single artillery shots with the sniper rifle,when you shoot an artillery round comes down from the sky exactly where your crosshairs pointed.

Should definitely possible then to put it into any other gun or vehicle.

OK so far I've put this in the Static object file:

Code:

run /objects/vehicles/xpak2_vehicles/air_a10/air_a10.con

This won't work unless you have AF installed,you are aware of that?
