Yes, you must edit the equipment.shadvs of a level.
I did this before for my addon.

One ugly thing is that you can see at the backside of the burned
truck these metal poles (I dunno how they are called

Yeah but its better then nothing. We can also create new vehicle slots. So that we can have a Mercedes car but in grey with the German military cross to go alongside the black civilian Mercedes.

also does anyone know how to find the player's start point coordinates?

edit1: We need to create a universal coding guide with all known codes listed.

Yes, but it is a little complicated.

I have my project file (Excel sheet) with the most important scriping
things and all NPC IDs. I could send it to you. But it is completly
written in German.

No but I'm trying to make a new skin for the Mercedes. But instead of replacing the black one. I want to create a new one to go alongside it so that we can have both.

Perhaps but I don't know where. Perhaps forlik knows, he is the
map file (swd) master

I use the following method to get a position and spawn something:

1. I save the current postion of the player with console command
"PL_SavePos"
2. The file "_default.pos" is created in DtS folder
3. I open it with HexWorshop and export it as hex dump text file
4. I take the coordinates for x,y,z and put it into the base converter tool
from hex worksop

Now I have the coordinates.

5. I put the command for spawning items into the scriptfile in function
"OnLoaded"
The command is e.g.

Level.CreateWorldItem( "bike_bmw" , "vehicle" ,-2070.00 , -128.00
, -3500.00 , 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 'id_veh' );

Arguments:
1. Name of the object
2. Name of the object's class
3-5 x,y and z coordinates
6-8 I dunno. Is always 0.0
9 ID of the created object for further use in script.

Note:
The function Level.CreateWorldItem() is normally used for spawning weapons,
ammo, equipment and back packs,
but it works well with vehicles. You can also spawn NPCs but these don't
move and if you shoot them, the game crashes.

The classes and object names are taken from the template class shadvs files
e.g.
actors.shadv
vehicles.shadvs etc.

They are identical to the console commands for spawning.

Something other: Long ago I posted in this thread:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=4096
that I'm able to create completely new mission tasks.
Nobody replied my question.

Should I add new tasks to existing level mission?
If yes which one and in which level?

You can also exchange the equipment.shadvs files with each other. If I rember correctly the level
"Removal" (Concentration Camp) has the biggest file with the most weapons.

The levels Training, Hotel and Ambassy does not have a equipment.shadvs, But If you modify the
briefing.shadvs of these levels, you can add the feature of weapon/equipment selction.
I tested this and it worked fine...
