Hi,
I am writing my first mod. I would like have capability of change fire type in it but I don't know how to do that. I know only that for change it I must edit e.g. ak47 file. I would like to change it after clicking any button. I would like too to all have their level (when I am playing my mod i have 1 level).
Please help me

Anybody can help me?

where the game gives the weapons to the players

\raw\maps\mp\gametypes\_class.gsc, line 627

giveLoadout( team, class ) { //... }


you could give each player the weapon with your desired fire mode (new weapon files for each weapon with a specific fire mode).

i worry it won't work with such a lot weapon files, 'cause cod4 is limited to 128 weapon assets in MP, and about 110 are already in use!

Ok but how can I change weapon file after clicking e.g. shift?

either by menu workaround / hack or obtain the key status via script (buttonpressed, meleebuttonpressed - sprint or knife?)

Ok, can You give me a script for edit file?

no, and i think what you are about to try is much too complex for your first mod.

check out the stock menus if you like, \raw\ui_mp\

have a look at the source code of OpenWarfare:

http://openwarfaremod.com/

new feature in 1.1.1:


you could modify the code to simulate fire modes

Can You tell me where is error in this code?

while( self ButtonPressed( "BUTTON_U" ) ) 
{
filenum = OpenFile( "mp\m16_gl_mp", "write" );
FPrintLn( 1, WEAPONFILE\...\....\....\fireType\Full Auto\...\...\...\
weap_m16_clipout_plr weap_m16_clipout_plr 
weap_m16_clipin_plr weap_m16_clipin_plr
weap_m16_chamber_close_plr weap_m16_chamber_close_plr
melee_knife_stab melee_knife_stab
weap_m4m16_switch_grenade weap_m4m16_switch_grenade
weap_m4m16_switch_back weap_m4m16_switch_back" );
}

what's the error message?
