Modify Weapon stats?

[TakasugiShinsuke]

Hallo Community,

I wanted to ask you if it´s possible to alter Weapons Stats (RoF,Dmg output, Range,accuracy,etc) in SW:Battlefront 2?.
If yes do I need tools , in this case which one would you recommend me?

Thanks in advance

U're gonna need the SWBF2 Modding tools -- http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=436

After that u'll need to create a "map" and there u'll work on the SIDE mod.
To create the map u must go to the _BUILD folder (BF2_ModTools\data\_BUILD). Run the VisualMunge and follow the steps it asks u to do.
Then head back to the BF2 Mod Tools folder and u should see there a folder called data_DCM (That's how I called my map, DCM).
Now go to the assets folder. U should see a folder called sides. Copy Common + Imp,Rep,all,Cis, .. .whichever side u wanna edit the weapons to.
Copy those folders and go to the data_DCM folder. Go to the Sides folder and paste the copied folders there.
Now go to the Common>ODF folder and look for whichever weapon u wanna edit. Then save it and go to data_DCM>_BUILD. Run the visualmunge tool and pick to munge EVERYTHING from the SIDEs and leave "Common" ticked. Click on munge and u should have the mods ure looking for in a new folder called _LVL_PC (data_DCM>_LVL_PC).

Edit: So im now in odf folder and there are a bunch of stuff in the common file .. what did u mean by save it - should I only keep the weapons i wanted to edit and delete the rest?

U have to look for the weapon u wanna modify and then edit whatever it was that u wanted to edit (damage, radius, etc). Once  u change the value save the file.
Do not delete a single file or it will cause a crash.
Also keep in mind that whatever u edit (damage, color, etc) will not be applied to the multiplayer servers unless u are the host.

Color would still appear on his end, just only he could see it.

I meant nobody else will get them changed.

Hmm I thought so - But I dont have any tools to Open up these files? or does the Mod tool got it already and im to stupid to find?.

And I never wanted to have them in MP - i just wanted to play around with the weapons just for the fun
Thanks for all the replies

Right click on the files and open them with Notepad

yes, they will be changed

[TakasugiShinsuke]

yes, they will be changed

Ok. So the map I created isnt launching at all - but thats ok i hope since we dont need this map.
So I changed a lot of stuff-

I doesnt seem to change a thing.
Im sure I did changed the values and their Dmg output

for example.
Shotgun > Full-Auto-shotgun
TriggerSingle = "0".
should be enough right? than i adjusted the other values so it wont be OP.
Like cutting the DMG bt 2/3 - higher spread - higher RoF - more Clipsize and less shots per Salve.

But yet it didnt changed actually in-game.

Im sry if im bothersome atm but its my very first "mod"

I think i fixed the problem - i needed an MungeFixer in addition to make the Munge properly(since it took only a few sec to finish and caused to crash the game afterwards).
