Unfortunately I don't have many of the tools to do this anymore and my memory isn't too great. In the weapons.con for the Phantom there should be a set of code for the heatseekers, and a line about what projectile it fires. Change it from the heatseeker projectile to the name of the MiG-21's unguided rocket projectile (which you can look up in the MiG-21's weapons.con) and it should be good to go.

So my question is: where is weapons.con?and how to unpack it?

Hi Notsogoodhash, the file you need is in the EA GAMES\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\bfvietnam\Archives\objects.con, open the objects.con file and look under vehicles and then air and then pick Phantom and Mig21, You will see the weapons.con file in there, you can cut and paste fron there. Just a point though, you cannot make this work server side, only client side unless you create a patch for everyone who plays on your server. They will have to load the patch on their machines for this to work.

A great Mod website is BFmods.com - it will point you to the RFA tools you need (RFA is the file that you will edit). And it has lots of tutorials that you can follow, including ready code that you can use.

Let me know how you get on, good luck

Hmm..I guess i can do the work, but how to make people download the patch??Could admin set automatic donwload on your server?Like in steam..
??

Good question, and one that I don't know the answer to I know that you can't auto download from BFV, there may be some third party auto download software that will do it for you. Just remember though that once you patch your server then unless your players have the patch it won't work for anyone else.

That's the real problem((I just guessed to fly F4 on your server
May be I'll start my own EoD server ,with my own patch

But firstly i should wait for better connection)
