Can't find a good weapon set nowadays?

[Kqgqn]

So recently I finished building my modern war build that I have spent a couple weeks working on.

Now I'm quite satisfied with what I have built, minimal bricks, enough cover for a decent battle, etc.
But when I made my server public and started playing I realized that there were no weapons to use. I varied between weapons like T+T to Sgt.A walker's set. To be honest, everyone complained about T+T, and the ammo system didn't work. Sgt's weapons were poorly made, the iron sights were not balanced, people didn't like them, and so on. The point of the build is to gather enough points by killing or capturing to buy new weapons. So yeah.
I just want to make sure I'm not blind and I'm not missing a good add-on, so tell me, what do you people think to be a good, useable weapon set? Thanks!

No, I'm not looking for the classic sniper rifle + shotgun theme, either. ;)

I like T+T, and the ammo system works for me.
But thats my opinion.

There isn't gonna be a perfect weapon pack anytime soon, at least ONE person will complain that the weapons suck.... That's just what you need to expect when creating a TDM. I would just go for what the majority of the players want the weapons to be.

Make your own. It's better because you can control every aspect of it.

Because I am definitely a pro coder.

All you have to know how to do is use find and replace.

He does have a point, but make sure you give credit / release it as your own add-on.

Weapons are very easy to make, that is if you have some experience in modeling or know someone who will lend you some models. Weapon scripts are very easy to edit,  there are notes scattered around it explaining what each variable and line does, so you only need to change things like the UI name, how much damage it does, what model it uses etc. if you're looking to make a basic weapon pack. Anyone who has the time to make one can.

Please, explain more.

brief tutorial:

Make your model, add 2 joints. mountPoint and muzzlePoint.

name all the boxes, cylinders, spheres etc : whateveryouwanttonameit0.

Always have a 0 after your name. add materials. Press file > export > Torque DTS Plus > check LOD make sure they are all 0, if they are not, fix it.

make a new folder (not zipped)

weapon_testgun (or whatever your gun name is)

open Weapon_testgun and copy the following files from the default Gun add-on.

description

server.cs

namecheck

bullet

shell

muzzleflash.

Now, paste those into your weapons folder WITH the model you made.

Go to Description change all the stuff in there, to what you want it to say.

Change namecheck to weapon_testgun (or name of your gun).

now time for Server.cs

Go to Server.cs, press "Edit" then press "replace all" type "gun" press okay, then. after it does it's magic, press "Edit" again, and "replace all" type "pistol" then press okay.

to package it do this

make a new .zipped folder, name it "weapon_testgun (aka name of your gun)"

then copy ALL the files in the folder you just made, paste them into "weapon_testgun") then copy that folder to your add-ons folder.


there you go, sorry if it doesn't explain much, I was on the go.

If you're making a weapon or something for yourself which will not be released you don't have to put it into a zip, Putting the folder (which should be named correctly) straight into the add-ons folder will work just as well. However, it does save some space.

Namecheck.txt is only needed when uploading stuff to RTB, maybe not at all.
But if the name of the zip file differs from the one in namecheck you get console errors.
If you don't have that file nothing bad happens.

I really think that the BF3 weapon set is really good. I use it quite a bit.

You do realize that every time a dead person presses the light key you get a console spam message for every one of his weapons you have installed, right?
