grad-factions v4.0.0

GRAD Factions

Internal information for Gruppe Adler members here.

Installation

Variant 1: npm

Highly recommended: >= npm-3.x, which comes with NodeJS 6.x. Don't use older versions!

npm install grad-factions --save

For updating, change the desired version number in your mission's package.json, and do npm install

Variant 2: manually

Alternatively, you can install grad-factions manually. You will then also need grad-loadout.

• download both grad-factions and grad-loadout as zipfiles from github, and put the directories into a node_modules directories, so that you get:

myMission.altis/node_modules/grad-factions
myMission.altis/node_modules/grad-loadout

Configuration

description.ext

You may set some of those options. They may or may have no effect, depending on the chosen factions.

#define NIGHTVISION  // equip night vision goggles
#define GUNLIGHTS    // equip gun lights
#define LASERS       // equip weapon laser
#define SUPPRESSORS  // equip suppressors

Below, add this:

class Loadouts {
    baseDelay = 1;      // base delay in seconds before applying loadouts on mission start
    handleRadios = 1;   // radios are handled by grad-loadout
    resetLoadout = 0;   // start with empty loadouts instead of modifying existing loadout

	class Faction {
        #include "node_modules\grad-factions\loadouts.hpp"
    };
};

class CfgFunctions {
    #include "node_modules\grad-loadout\CfgFunctions.hpp"
};

init.sqf

You're nearly done. One last thing you will have to do: define which loadouts should actually be applied: Somewhere in your init.sqf:

Syntax

[faction,loadout] call GRAD_Loadout_fnc_FactionSetLoadout;

Example
Here we will give the vanilla NATO units Bundeswehr loadouts, specifically BwFleck and the vanilla FIA units will get the ModerateRebels loadouts.

["BLU_F", "BwFleck"] call GRAD_Loadout_fnc_FactionSetLoadout;
["OPF_G_F", "ModerateRebels"] call GRAD_Loadout_fnc_FactionSetLoadout;

HINT: If you do not know which faction your editor-created units belong to, have a look into the BI Community Wiki. There is also a table with all faction IDs.

NOTE: Loadouts are not guaranteed to work with units provided by Mods. If you need a specific mod supported, open an issue with grad-loadout.

Available Loadouts

All of the included loadouts need gruppe_adler_mod for its medical items. Most loadouts will also need other mods.

Available Loadout Factions

These factions are available (see also the factions directory):

Rank Dependent Loadout

The medic loadouts are rank dependent. All medics carry surgical kits.

Units

Of the aforementioned factions, only the following unit types have a loadout. Note that the editors unit description doesn not 100% match the actual functionality of the units within these loadouts.

And currently only for the Russian factions:
