Hello

I am relatively new to modding Arma. I only started modifying it a few months ago installing mods from Armaholic, mainly weapons mods. I then stumbled upon this website after a random Google search of DayZ Singleplayer. I have successfully installed Chernarus and Panthera and have been playing on the maps for a while. However it occurred to me a few days ago that "The same items are getting boring. Hey, this is singleplayer, I could possibly edit it!"

What I would like to do is add a few weapons from my weapon mods to loot spawns around Panthera and Chernarus. However I have my doubts. I have done some research and at first attempted to move the mission.sqm out of the PBO for 'DaiZy Panthera NO AI' into editor in order to add an ammo box, however it failed.

I have also done some research on the PBO files. If I am right, all the spawning for weapons and ammunition is located in the dayz_code. The problem is, how do I access and add weapons that I would like spawned? Can someone please help me with this?

Thankyou. :)
