This tutorial is supplimental information for the weapon mod tutorial here on www.modsonline.com ( The tutorial: http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-177.html ) . I went and did most of the other settings. My infomation may not match some of the stuff in the tutorial but the some of the numbers are really a guess of how much you should do. In the tutorial, I didnt do Animation, Sound, Crosshairs, Movement, and somethings i didnt see change during the game when I tested. I plan to test sound, movement, and crosshairs. Animation is tricky because i dont know how to do it.

WEAPON SETTINGS Version 1.1
This tutorial will show you most of the aspects of editing your gun.
Never save over the original files!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did that once and I had to reinstall which takes about 20 – 30 min out of your time.
No pics means the thing is pretty self explanatory or I couldn’t find a pic. If you find an error plz contact me at gorillaz@dark-gamers.com
Also seems that if the input is not reasonable, the gun wont fire or perform the action you want it to do. Everything in the beginning of the code is animation and I don’t know how to do that so I wont go over it. This is everything exept for movement (like kickback), crosshairs, animation, and sound.(and stuff I cant find out)

Photoshop Settings



thats only for is you want to change the color. i still have a problem with it buts thats a start.that’s good but for ones that don’t prompt you for minimaps make sure you have turned off. If you have photoshop make what you want then make it into the mode Index ( other for example is RBG) this is what it will look like in game****Choose Local(Selective) after you choose index . a menu should appear.This makes it more sharper(don’t do exact). You need to do this to save. Make sure you merge the layers so its on layer. For my mip maps files I turn mip maps off. I get a little bit pixilated picture though like in the ammoIcon
