no, not that one. I want to edit what weapons are in a kit, not the weapon and display names.

ohh.. those aren't localiaztion files. You're looking for .con files.

Try a search of weapon* AND edit AND file*

Also, have a poke around these forums: http://bfeditor.org/forum/index.php

There is a lot of good info about editing BF2 there.

right so, I tried it out and I just can't get it to work right.
This is what I wanna do:
Using a mod (just copied files from bf2) I will make the two armies EU and Spetznaz.
I want to change the EU kits as follows:
replace HK53A3 with P90
replace L85A2 with F2000
replace M4 Benelli with SCAR-L
replace FAMAS with SCAR-H
I want to make the team sorta like a Belgium Army.
If someone can help me achieve the weapon changes I would be most happy. thanks

Here is an example of HK53A3 to P90

If you want to edit the army name, kit name, or weapon name then you will go into the localization files.

EDIT: I forgot, there are somethings that require editing other things, like you cant have grenades in the at kit, or two main weapons (ie. m24+M4 in sniper) because of the index number. If you only are editing the main weapon thats ok. BE sure to put a REM infront of the thing you are removing or just delete it.

Just save your file somewhere else then put it in the folder.

I thought I should post a picture of my medic kit to show the amount of things you can do with only a few tweaks, not all the tweaks are dont to that file though. (The at mine is actualy a medic pack)

That's because those ZIP files are read-only. Like osmeone else said, just save it somewhere else then overwrite the one in the ZIP file.

ARG, whenever I load a map about halfway through it crashes to desktop. On BF2 map or SF map. BTW I am running this through the weapons tester mod.

copy your bf2 short cut and then right click it and click properties. Change fullscreen 1 to fullscreen 0. Play the game and tell me if you get an error.
Also there some weapons can not be placed in the same kit without more editing.
here is a list I found at this thread
http://bfeditor.org/forum/viewtopic.php … umber+list
here is the list

Weapons in the same list can not be put together unless you edit the item index number. However, editing this number can cause some issues with other kits so be careful. To change it, open a weapon's .tweak file and hit control + F. Type itemindex and change it to 1-8. 7+8+9 are night vission, gas mask, and parachute launcher (you can make a weapon shoot a parachute but dont try it). 1 is knife, 2 is pistol 3 is main weapon, 4 is grenades/AT launcher/ Grenade launcher, 5 is medic pack, c-4,clays, at mine, smoke grenade, and ammo bag. 6 is defibs, crossbow, grap. hook, and wrench.

Thank you, sounds good. I am trying to make a "mod" without much modding lol. This is what it will be:
The year is 2011, it seemed as if the war was finaly dying down around the world. Everyone was wrong. Just as the US, EU, and China were about to sign a cease fire agreement, Russia anounced that they had made an alliance with China. With US forces occupied in the Middle East and defending their home land, the EU has been sent to take control of key postions located along the Russian border. Belgian and German EU forces have been sent in to take control of these positions. The Russians must attain these positions if they intend on any achievment in the war.

Belgian Forces German Forces
----------------- ------------------
SpecOps. - P90, 92FS SD, C4, Grnds, Knf | G36C, 92FS SD, C4, Grnds, Knf |

M - AK-101, MDPack, De-Fibs, Grnds, Knf

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I can I will increase the damage on the P90 to about 30.

Maps

Ghost Town Night: Belgium vs. Russia
Mass Destruction: Germany vs. Russia
Dalian Plant: Belgium vs. Russia
Surge: Germany vs. Russia

If I can accomplish this and anyone is interested I will upload the file to the net.

I will begin working on it this weekend. First I have to make the maps with the proper armies (Belgium will have SAS skins, Germany will have EU skins. Belgium will speak with EU accent, Germany will speak German.) Then I can go and change the kits around. If I can get it working right, it should be really easy to make, and I suggest that other people make their own "custom" armies using what BF2 has to offer. It requires minimal skill and you can have some cool stuff and good fun.
