Giving ammo to soldier, truck or box

**Hauptmann** · 09-11-2008

Hi, when you select a soldier and press w+7, you are able to give different stuffs to his inventory including ammo. Unfortunately one click for SMG clips for example gives only 1 SMG round. So if I have to give him 1000 rounds, I have to click 1000 times. No this would be little hard and takes time, so is there any easier way transfer ammo to truck/box/soldier without clicking thousands of times? I tried different things, but nothing seemed to work, so I decided to ask here. :x

Thank you I do not knew this shortcut. Should I hold W and 7, uh?

To answer to your question: use notepad.

Yes, there is a much easier way, just click and drag the SMG ammo and you´ll be filling up your soldiers inventory with SMG ammo with 100 rounds for each "click and drag". Quick and easy!

Well, thats easy! Thanks!

EDIT

ilust, yes just select your soldier/vehicle/box and click w+7, to get access to inventory.

Another trick is to copy & paste a soldier and then give his stuff from one inventory to another one like you do it ingame.
This is helpful if you want to give multiple items to many soldiers.

Thanks! I got new question now:

Im planning to making intro video for my map, but I havent succeed very well yet. I studied the original game map files and found out that the video file is in .avi format. I made few test videos to see does them work, but they didnt. I got the error message:

Exception

Invalid surface size (esurface.cpp, 35

I dont know what this exactly means. I tried resizing the video screen to same as in original video clips, but it did not seem to work. So has anyone managed to make own intro video and get it work in the game? And if so, can you tell me what I need to do to make my own. Im not very good nor advanced with modding FoW or making videos, but I try.
