Using Olsen Gear Scripts

Important Note

1st, Mission-makers, you can always use the UO Framework ACE3 based loadouts system in conjunction with the Olsen Loadout system at the same time!

2nd, if you are using custom scripts that the UO Framework provides options to use we will point you to the docs if you encounter an error related to your custom scripts. You have been warned.

Copying and Modifying Gear.sqf

Copy your gear.sqf and the accompanying loadouts folder accompanying it into your mission folder. As long as you include the loadouts you want through the gear script you should be fine.

Your gear.sqf should look like the below code.

#define random(MIN, MAX) \
([MIN, MAX] call UO_FW_FNC_RandomRange)

_temp = "";

#define SET_GROUP(groupName) _temp = #groupName + package;\
call compile format ['%1 = {
#define END_GROUP };', _temp]
#define ADD_GROUP(groupName) call call compile format ["%1", #groupName + package]

switch (_type) do {

	#include "loadouts\CustomLoadoutsOne.sqf"
	#include "loadouts\CustomLoadoutsTwo.sqf"
	#include "loadouts\CustomLoadoutsN.sqf"

};

Ensure that your main gear file:

  1. Is titled gear.sqf
    • or matches the root gear filename/path specified in UOFW -> Configure Gear -> NAME OF TEXTBOX HERE
  2. Has only macro definitions and a simple switch statement with _type as it’s variable.
    • (See above example.)
  3. Is located in your mission root folder with mission.sqm

Ex: MissionNameExample.IslandName/gear.sqf

It also must include all the relevant loadouts you want to use within your loadouts folder.

switch (_type) do {

	#include "loadouts\CustomLoadoutsOne.sqf"
	#include "loadouts\CustomLoadoutsTwo.sqf"

};

Now, to use your Olsen loadouts, refer to the Gear Module page!
