So I made a couple more ARVN classes and improved on the three that were there. The three existing ARVN classes (m16, m14, and m60) in my opinion had too little ammo so I increased their ammo count. I also made other classes mainly so I could manually add more classes for the ARVN faction in the DCG mod uploaded by Jason1_.
So I am uploading this in a .zip file but it is from the game's game.pak file. You can find it by opening the MOW: Vietnam folder in winrar and going to resource/game.pak. From there go to set/breed/single. You can delete the arvn file and replace it with mine. For reference, you will have two tabs of winrar open right now. As stated, I made this mod to add more ARVN units to the DCG for MOW: Vietnam, but you can create missions with ARVN units and such without having to go through the work of creating new breeds and stuff since vanilla ARVN are very bland. The changes made are as follows:
- The three original ARVN classes (m16, m14, and m60) now start with more ammo. In my opinion, a universal problem in this game lies with the fact that units start with such little ammo. With automatic, fast firing, weapons the vanilla amounts of ammo is too little and you find yourself staring at inventory screens and managing ammo.
- The amount of bandages for all ARVN classes (vanilla and created by me) were increased to 5.
- ARVN Anti-Tank soldier. Equipped with a bazooka, he can take out a t-54 with a well placed shot. Also armed with an m-14.
- ARVN heli pilot. An ARVN heli pilot to fly helicopters for the ARVN.
- ARVN sniper. Armed with an m21 he can snipe commie bastards before they can say "Ho Chi Minh".
- ARVN tankman. General crewman who can drive trucks, tanks, APCs, cars, etc.
- ARVN thompson. Just an smg ARVN soldier equipped with a Thompson. Can be used as a scout or in CQB.
- ARVN m79. An ARVN soldier with one of my favorite guns from the Vietnam era. The m79 grenade launcher can clear charlie out of even the most tenacious position.
If people like this mod I might upload files that increase the ammo for the other factions and maybe new unit types. Thank you!
Okay... I can do this too, you know? I'm not saying that I hate these new classes but it would be cool if you would make some skins for those classes! You don't really need this mod to have more classes for the ARVN, you can do this manually in the editor.
I know, I just decided to put this out so if anyone wanted something like this they wouldn't have to take the time to make it. More just looking to provide a convenience. I also felt pseudo proud of this because I'm new to any sort of modding or manually adding stuff to a game like this and this took me a while to figure out how to do because I taught myself along the way. Sorry if it was disappointing! I will work on my skills and hopefully I will be able to upload something better soon!
Okay, mate. I completely understand, it wasn't disappointing at all.
Thanks, this mod can help me finish my MowV zombie project
