Better Loadouts

Description
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.

Hey... nice mod, good code, worked of the bat because I'm not a expansion hack. Did have to remove Hunting Bag from the pool because its got 250 slots on my server and is worth a mint at the trader but yeah all good.
Only question is when spawning item and status bar are missing and i cant find an option to change this. It does re appear after a relog, just something people have been complaining about. Any hints?

Also downloaded MidEvil had a little mess around, waiting for the boys to get on so we can have a party run.

This works with expansion and on any map. Just swap files in init. In the expansion SpawnSettings.json, turn off the
"EnableCustomClothing": 0,
"EnableStartingGear": 0,

@OGdearbear It is compatible w expansion, i use it, Just i reccomend disabling the spawn selection, and their own loadout system beforehand
