ACCESSING WEAPONS AND THEIR NUMBERS

[WBWilder]

I had added to a post with a question but I can't find it now. I don't know if it was deleted or I'm senile (probably the latter).

I want to know how to access the complete list of weapons with their corresponding numbers so the numbers can be typed in when editing a unit.

In many cases I either wanted to change the weapon or reduce ammo but when I clicked on the weapon slot, the list that came up did not include the weapon that was already in slot #1, so even if I did wish to put it back, I can't, without rebuying the unit.

If I have done other editing to the unit such as changing the name, etc, this is a pain.

THe other thing is that to reduce ammo unless there is another way to do it, I have to access the slot and then type in the weapon number first. If that weapon is not in the list, I can't do that. When I rebuy a unit, I'm faced with the same dilemma. I still can't reduce the ammo..a vicious circle.

So my question is again, where and how can I get and access these number for the total weapon list for all countries?

Anyone here know how to do that?

If you go into MObHack you can see ALL the available weapons and their correspong ID # for a particular nation. Once you have that, you can just type in the # when the "Enter Weapon ID" prompt comes up.

Bill, the thread you are looking for where you asked that question ( and the answer ) is in the " "D" key question " thread of WinSPMBT Campaigns, Scenarios & Maps

Many thanks, Don. I read it and I am off to take a look at it. Out of the corner of my eye...did your tank just fire a round...I'm watching.

Yep! Very nice!

The verion of the game you have will only show a partial list of weapons - not enough room. Original coding.

When the patch is available, you wil have access to all the weapon numbers, as I have changed the weapon display page to a multi-page format.

entering -1 will list weapons from 1 up (to the max 120 or so available per page)
-2 fron 120 or so - to max
-3 from 200 or so to end.

-4 or less will remove the weapon as before.

Basically - 3 "pages" of 120 or so weapons (I forget he exact max per page)

(The problems were that not all 250 weapon slots are used, so there can be gaps in the listing. Thus - on the 3 pages you may well see the same weapons appear on 2 of them due to gaps in the weapon list).

For now, as others have suggested - have mobhack's weapons page for that OOB open and refer to that for the ID number.

Cheers

Good news. When editing now, I just keep a copy of MOBHACK editor open and minimized for easy access.

This added benefit will help. Thanks...WB
