Weapons

[TheBladeRoden]

Are there any guides for adding custom weapons?

Are there any guides for adding custom weapons?

Not of yet. but it should be as simple as adding an additional file. However keep in mind the weapons are placed on a map. Meaning your weapon won't appear on any map unless cheated for. Unless you make a custom map which has the weapon.

Assuming your question meant you already made one, and now your looking to test it out in game.

[TheBladeRoden]

oops I guess I should have asked "Is there a tutorial for creating custom weapons and then adding them?"

[Ivory]

Ah. well no, currently there is not. The best thing I can tell you is  to read and understand this.
http://zdoom.org/wiki/Creating_new_weapons
After that study how Cutty made the MM8BDM weapons in the pk3 file. Decorate really isn't that difficult to learn.

Why don't you study how Cutty made them? See how "simple" it is.
The Decorate part is easy. The rest, is not.

Because I actually understand it. You have no idea how damned complex my own weapons are in my doom project that I'm still keeping underwraps.

C'mon, take one look of the code for them.

The Mega Buster.  It's a work of art, really.

EDIT:  I just realized the Darkman buster is included in this code.

Except most of that is Darkman Buster.

That's the weapon only.

[Ivory]

Okay fine. For someone unaware in both decorate and acs, that would be a handful. I take it back, don't study cutty's code for learning.
but I still understand it. The weapons in my mod are absolutely hell.

[Korby]

How many lines of code is in your longest weapon?

[Ivory]

My Plasma Rifle. The weapon itself is worth 143 lines. With everything that goes with it, 240 lines.

Flamethrower is 367 lines in total. However the Flamethrower is coded from scratch while the Plasma Rifle isn't as long due to inheritance.

[Korby]

What.
What.
Okay, yeah, I see what you mean. How long did it take you to code all that?

[Ivory]

I...don't remember. I've been working on this project for well over a year now(on and off). I don't spend all my time working on one thing and then moving on, I work on everything at once and slowly build up.

But College eats a lot of time, and now I'm distracted with MM8BDM

BUST B 0 ACS_ExecuteAlways(981,0,0)

BUST B 0 ACS_ExecuteAlways(998,0,0)

So, take a look at the ACS. Also look at SBARINFO.
