I'm wanting to swap some weapons around and tweak a few weapons for all the classes. I remember doing this on AIX 1.0 but that was long ago and I don't remember where the files are or how to do it, I'm assuming there's at least a handful of walkthroughs on this.

Basically what I'm wanting to do is give the US anti-tank class a better primary weapon, give all the sniper classes the Barret with higher damage, increase the damage a little on the laser-guided anti-tank missile, etc.

I'll snoop around in the program files and see if I can jog my memory on this, but a walkthrough would really help out. If I remember correctly, the actual kit files that I need to modify are in the objects_server.zip file...but I don't remember if it was was easy as deleting the weapon filename and replacing it with the weapon filename I want. I suppose I can mess around with it and just backup files before I make any changes.

There's a BF2 kit developer tool that might be helpful.

You can download it HeRe.

You can also check out imtheheadhunter's modding thread list.

Is that kit developer known to work with AIX 2.0?

Edit: Can't seem to get it to work, it's giving an error about not being able to find a directory that doesn't exist, and I can't find any walk-throughs on how to use this with vanilla collection + aix 2.0. I also looked through all the related threads in that second link and can't find any solid walk-through on how to change weapons in a kit. I keep getting CTD problems, probably due to item index numbers...no idea what I'm doing.

Example...I'm trying to use the "aix_magpul" on the US-AT class in place of that little mp7, but the itemindex is 3 on the magpul and 3 on the grenade launcher which I believe is causing the CTD. I can change the itemindex number for the "aix_magpul" in its tweak file, but won't that break any kits that also use that rifle?

Yes, it will, if those kits don't have the same listing as the weapon's item index number. Also, you need to take into consideration pickup kits; for instance, if I were to change the rusht_saiga12 to item index 2, any map that has the saiga12 as a pickup kit is going to crash with a conflict.
