Change ship's armament

[Silvern]

Would it be possible to change ship's weapon from RIM-66 to RIM-7 Sea Sparrow via a script?

Probably not via a script, but I believe that the weapon specifications of various units are controlled by lua files, so it should theoretically be possible to change what missiles a given ship has available. Not sure if this would cause any issues with launcher types or that sort of thing. I haven't personally played with editing sea unit loadouts, so I'm not sure where the relevant lua file is.

I got it to work by editing the lua files, but I hoped to avoid creating a "mod".

Script would allow everyone in MP to join without any nuisance. :pilotfly:

 

 

Thanks for the suggestion though! :)

It's not possible without changing core files. It will break integrity. But I can and we all can change them. Depending on the extent of the change, it can be moderately easy or difficult. I have examples like the Kashin mod I made. If you need to find the lua I can point it out. PM me. Howerver if you need help finding the file, the changes to be made are going to be hard for you.
