How would I go about making groups for easy use in the editor?
As in (F2) Groups, that allow placement of a predefined selection of units, I need to define their skill and equipment layout also.
Thanks

I believe that is only possible via modification to class CfgGroups in a custom addon, not via mission editing.
-
ok so how would that work?
Would i need to replace the bis config or can i just add one to a pbo as a stand alone addon?
-
The best way to make a group is to do it by hand. That way you can set evrything you want. I takes time but it will allow you to control everything.
Use the editor to set their skills and all the other settings you want and then get serious with the init.
The init is where you can really get what you desire. Identities, weapons, groups etc.

I do understand the basics. What I am asking is can i make a pbo that contains only a group config?
I use lots of addons including RHS russians and would like to make a group config for premade spetznaz and so on with all correct equipment etc.
-
Yes, you should be able to create an addon that only mods class cfgGroups.

Since we're moving into the realm of addon-editing now... :D
Good luck on your venture - gave me an idea or two as well.... :scratch:
Wolfrug out.

cheers.
The idea is to make a healthy selection of groups for addons based on RL data.
Simple but time saving and might encourage mission makers to stick to real military doctrine etc.
