Spawning things in netgame equipment without duplicatin itmc

Post by t_mann05 »

Alright i need a little help understanding some spawnings. I am trying to spawn extra weapons, vehicles, and scenery without replacing any scenery or weapons on my coagulation using the scnr/netgame equipment. I improperly added 24 more itcm chunks and am using those chunks plus numbers 55-60 chunks which were nulled out (were supposed to be secondary heavy vehicle) to try to spawn my items. I did not duplicate any itcm and then rename it to try to spawn them. I want to spawn them straight through the new chunks in netgame equipment. I did about 5 spawns...4 weapons and 1 vehicle. I started the map and there are no heavy vehicles on the red side, but tons start spawning on the blue side! Sometimes they spawn 2 at a time and blow up.

I am unsure of why this is happening, but I think it has to do with me editing netgame equipment chunks 55-60 which are mostly secondary heavy vehicles. I changed the values and dependencies so that the weapons and stuff spawn, but i go look to where i put them and NOTHING shows up. Only those stupid heavy vehicles spawning like crazy.

So my question is.....do i have to duplicate an itmc every single time i want to spawn a new weap,vehi, or scen?

My next question is, if i am right about my first one is.......Can i re-add the chunks(because duplicating anything after chunks are made screws up everything), then duplicate itmc, then put the duplicate dependency in the new chunks in netgame equipment and they will spawn? correct?

Well I didnt read this very well but, the only time you duplicat an itmc is when you want to spawn something that doesnt have an itmc without overwriting a previous one. A reason the tanks might be overspawning is because they can spawn more then one at a time. to fix this go in adi, scnr tag, bluegurilla, collections and then find which number in the dropdown box are vehics and then select spawn one at a time.
hope this helps

So what you are saying is that i still need to duplicate the itmc to spawn my weapons,vehicles, and scen? I dont want to replace any weapons on the map with new ones, i want to add all new ones by using the new 24 itmc slots i added. So i figured i could just add chunks and put the values in, even tho they are weap, vehi, and scen tags, not itmc
