...you might want to specify...

in the build 4 i have seen - Fixed missing AK47 GUI image, but there are no soviet weapon in the game , only m16... etc

There are a bunch of soviet GUI weapon images in /assets/weapons/ballistic/soviet/. If you want to "unlock" them, you have to replace the current GUI images with those.

I've also seen entries for Ak47 and other soviet arms in the weapons config xml, and even battlescape sprites, so there must be another way.

I believe those are used by local forces on some maps.

Erm, where are these other soviet specific weapon definitions then? I've just looked through weapons_gc, and other than "generic weapon X" I can't find any.

[a333]

My bad.

Yes, you are right, there's only AK47. No other soviet weapons.

There aren't specific soviet weapons (AK47 aside, which is used by ground forces), because there also aren't specific NATO weapons - there's just alternate Soviet art for the general weapon classes. The Soviet Weapon mod is just going to be an image swap for the existing starting weapons.

As an FYI, it's *really* easy to make the AK47 appear as another assault rifle in your armoury considering pretty much all the xml files are there thanks to being able to pick it up during a ground battle and use it with your troops anyway.

Been a while, but it was a couple of tiny tweaks to the items.xml and I think possibly having to add one xml entry to the xml file that controls the armoury (weapons.xml).

Of course, adding new magazines for it is a bit more involved, but no more than about 10 mins work in all.

Yes, there are several gun porn mods that benefit from how easy it is to add stuff like that.
