Adding a new faction

This is a step by step guide on how to add a new faction. Some prior knowledge of config browsing, class names and faction setups is expected.

Step 0. Does your faction work for Overthrow?

Not all factions are created equal. Some have more content than others, and certain factions are better for Overthrow than others.

• The faction must be BLUFOR for it to work in Overthrow.
• The faction must have predefined groups (more the merrier)
• The faction should have vehicles, including transport, APC, helicopters, armed vehicles, etc.

Step 1. Find the classname of your faction

This can be found by config browsing. Google can tell you more

Step 2. Add your faction classname to the mod

• Add it to mission_component.hpp
• Add it to fn_initOverthrow.sqf

Step 3. Try it out ingame

Try out QRF's, etc. If everything works great, congratulations! You've just added a new faction. If there is a problem, make an issue to it on GitHub and / or fix the issue. Overthrow is far from complete, and many minor bugs and glitches are bound to happen with custom factions.
