What needs to be done to successfully replace an original model with a custom one but still have online gaming work ??

I've currently using the downloaded colt model to replace pistol and my game still works fine. Change the hummer model
with a custom one I made however and I can no-longer play online.

Can anyone help me here ??

!! PLS !!

THX in advance.

**edit**
(just an eg.) change the gun ontop to something different but the same dimensions

Yeah its a feature to stop people cheating (armour.ini) and also to stop major synchronisation errors occuring. Just think if you replaced a hum-vee with a mammoth tanks and then rushed the enemy. It would cause collision errors and the server wouldn't be able to track your position, ulimatly leading to a crash or something to that effect. However some things can be replaced and still be able to use the game online. I'm not sure if this applies to weapons though, the only thing I have tried to replace was tracer_red.w3d, which is the bullet from the automatic rifle on nod. Taking a guess I would say that you may be able to replace 1st person gun models, projectiles, superweapon animations and any emitters. Thats just a guess, someone may know what you can actually replace.

doesn't it let you keep your new units/settings if you host the game?

I think so. i once joined a laddered sniper game 1v1 and the host had one of those drop a load of crap at the air stip mods, so i left before a single shot was fired Very Happy

Or is that something different? maybe the same princeples apply?

Sir Phoenixx

Yes if you set it up right. However it gives everyone else the zero bug.

Emitters can be replaced.

The airdrop thing is somewhat differant. One of the mods you can make is what they call a C130 script/c130 script edit. There's text cinematic scripts that you can extract and edit with notepad. It's similar to making your own custom scripts but a little more limited.

Thanks for using my Colt model Very Happy From what I know its that only weapon models can be replaced on accoutn of theirs size doesnt affect game play. But vehicles do.
