The software is provided with @LEA addon for players to make their loadout at mission start-up with LEA whatever the mission running on server.

Now, this will not/should not work on the current project CLAfghan because it is like Project Reality, in that your kits are slightly restricted to your class. Snipers cant get/shoot machine gun, etcetera.

Therefore, I would like to hereby personally offer to install Personal Custom Loadouts onto the CLAfghan COOP mission for anyone who asks!!
This way, just like this program does, you can choose your favorite kit/loadout depending on what you want.

You will still be restricted, as in, no sniper rifles for medics, etc. BUT - I am phasing out the "monster arma crate" that has everything in it. It will be moved to the ARMORY by supplies and command, not right in front of players stalling gameplay till everyone sets up 50 items and takes 15 minutes to get ready for deployment.

So, download this. Make kits. Save them, find the save files, rename them (YOUR VG WEBSITE MEMBER NAME) and submit a download link or attach an rar file to posts in THIS thread.

I will translate that into scripts in game that you have a scroll menu list to choose your kit/s from that is specialised to you. If you, say, chose a non-class kit you made, and you are the wrong class (medic/sniper/etc) it will not load to you.

Sorry, but I'm done with complaints from people about Arma being hard to get into cuz everything takes too long. I hope you'll appreciate my efforts to make it more streamlined, without killing options or fully removing the massive choice of weapons we have here.

I am a cat hair away from removing all weapons from crates that drop into the field from Air Drops, so that it only includes ammo for every single weapon, and ordinance.

Input is appreciated, but not in this thread. Keep this thread all about LEA and it's usage. Please post CLAfghan concerns here:

=VG= kiwirambob LAN_WROTE ...

Is there room for two weapons... back pack one like in VG Domination eg : sniper rifle & assault rifle & AT Launcher...


You must use ACE 2 with ArmA 2 OA for this. Configure LEA with ACE 2 (Help menu -> addons manager).

Support for vanilla ArmA 2 OA backpacks and ACE 1.13 Stable release is up to be delivered during January.

We will try to add the "second primary weapon" that slings on your back, but I'm not sure how that will work with both LEA and with the Preset loadout script that manages all this in the mission.

For now, just create a standard custom loadout with one primary, a secondary if you wish, and a backpack, or other back weapon. Remember, we are pushing Operation Arrowhead, so if certain weapons are specific to Arma 2 only, the team will need to swap them for OA equivalent gear. Also, MG gunners cannot carry a backpack - the slot is null. Same for others, like Medics. Respect this when creating kits, or we'll be contacting you for revisions.

As soon as we can get the second primary "slung on back", I will simply announce it, and add to the already existing customs for each player - no sweat.

I want second primarys too, just need to nail down the method. Domi's sucked, and was like a magic "bag of holding" that sent players into the field with enough gear to supply a small faction... This new mission sports some nifty suppy drop and support modules so, I actually want soldiers to run out of gear after so long in the field. Gives the commander, the C-130 Pilot, and other logistics roles a point of existence.
