I was wondering if anyone knows how to add special/unlockable weapons to the armory via a custom_matches XML file.

I've been playing quick games configured via an XML file.

I know I can add non-special weapons via the faction_resources command; for example, the green faction can get access to the AK-47 in the Armory with:

But this does not work with unlock able weapons like the barret_m107 and p90 with:


I've spent a few hours trying all the clever things I can think of as a result of poking all the configuration files in in the vanilla package, but I am at a loss to figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

take a close look at the ak-47s file and compare to the rare weapons.

there is a line like this




the following part

in_stock="1" is not on rare weapons or is changed to in_stock="0" you need to add it or change it to 1 for them to appear in the armory.

Thanks for the advice. I had noticed this too, and tried overriding the value in my XML file with (among other variations):

Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in getting the override to occur.

Now while I can edit the weapons file directly to get the weapon into the armory, this becomes a global change, rather than one that is local to my vanilla/custom_matches/paploo_server.xml file. I was hoping for a way to cause the override to occur only when I create use the given configuration file when creating a quick match.

that is cause you remove the commoness value the end result should have both the commoness value and the instock 1

Thanks for the tip again. I have tried several combinations of supplying commonness attribute keys, several different values for those keys, and with several different out-of-stock weapons (e.g. the p90 and m107)—all with no success.

For example:



and copy/pasting the original commonness line in the definition file, changing only the in_stock value:



I'm starting to suspect this isn't the right way to go about this. If you have an example that you have tested and know for sure works, I'd be interested in getting a copy of your functioning custom_matches xml file so that I can deduce where my error is.

Thanks for your help and patience.
