Better Loadouts

Better starting gear that provides a roleplay back story for your character. Spawn as a construction worker, prisoner, nurse, hunter, policeman, biker, fireman, soldier, office worker or various other characters.

I was tired of always spawning in the same old gear so I decided to create an alternative.

It's a random chance, the highest probability is that you will spawn as a prisoner on the run. There's also a high chance you will spawn as a normal civilian in random gear, but you might get lucky and spawn as a soldier with vest and helmet or a scientist in full NBC gear!

Female characters are also dressed differently to their male counterparts.

The standard (Unarmed) version does not spawn any of the characters with weapons, but I've provided a (Melee) version that includes melee weapons, another (Armed) version with firearms and also a mixed (Mixed) version.

Now also includes Namalsk friendly loadout examples that spawn all players with frozen items, a watch, heatpack and road flares and also includes the Namalsk clothing.

Thanks to NICKIGE for the original tutorial.

Server owner instructions: No need to add the mod to your server or client. Just choose a version; Unarmed, Melee, Armed or Mixed and replace or merge the init.c file in your mission folder with the file provided.

*********************************************************************** RECENT CHANGES: *********************************************************************** -Added Namalsk specific loadout examples for all classes (watch, heatpack, road flares, frozen drinks etc.)

Enjoy!
