as you see I tried to use the saws loadout text.

Thanks.

[Chrispy]

Possible error:

teamfilter red blue

It should be:

teamfilter red
teamfilter blue

Also, you used:

category 3

Try "category 1" for primary.

[skinny killer]

Nope still doesn't work. I even tried it with the /D you showed me. still nottin.......???

is there not a menu text I need to change or somthing?

[Chrispy]

What I suggest you do, is compare this with another primary weapon, such as the M4.

Get those two entries and compare them heavily.

[skinny killer]

dang it Chrispy I don't know how you do it.

Just start messing with all the values that I didn't know the functions to and matched them with the ones to the M4 and it worked. LOL I was just winging it so I still have no idea what the heck I did to make it work. but I'm sure I'll figure it out LOL.

THX!!!!!!!!

one prob tho. for some reason the 3DI models won't work. all it shows is the guys arms stretched way out in front of him. (I guess that's his arms LL) I have all of it's textures and stuff in the directory. so that's kind odd. I'll have to mess around with it and see if I can get it to work.

[Chrispy]

Here's the AK47AUTO entry from SO mod:

You might as well get those entries from the .defs. WTF squad won't mind, just as long as ya credit them.

[skinny killer]

well no I have the entry all set up right but I'm having probs wit the AK47s animation.

I think I know why the 3DI is screwing up. I didn't add the AK47.ADM. but every time I do it causes an error in the game and causes it to crash.

so there must be something wrong with that .ADM file.

but anyway all this is not so much as adding a new weapon but a way to explore this thing and find all of the functions. this way I can stop bothering you about it LOL.

[skinny killer]

yep. the prob is in the ADM. I used the "animadm M4_1st" for the weapons animation and the gun showed up.

so eather there is something wrong with that ADM file or there is something missing. here's a linst of all the files I've put in there so far......

AK47_1st.3DI
AK47_3rd.3DI
UAK47.DDS

AK47_1st.ADM

I don't have the ADM in the game right now because it causes that error. does it look like I'm missing anything?

thanx!!

[Chrispy]

Hmm, .adm file is compressed? Not too sure.

Here's the files from SO for the AK47:

http://www.deltaforcegaming.com/chrispy/misc/ak47.zip

Oh, and the .mdt file is just a bump map file. It increases the detail of the AK47. Like a .dds enhancer, lol.

[skinny killer]

yes I thought it might be because it was compressed but I decompressed it and I still got an error. I need to find out why it's not working because there's some others I plan to add.

even the files you sent me didn't work.

here's the modified entry. see if you spot anything wrong.

Well you have two line breaks:

action "emptyidle"
delayend auto
anim anim_wpn_idle
function wpn_std_idle
end


action "fire"
delayend 6 \\auto
soundsetend GS_AK74
anim anim_wpn_fire
function wpn_std_fire
particle Effect_CAR15MF
particleuserpoint mflash01
end

------------------

And here at the end you have:

action "switchrank"
delaystart 1
delayend 1
anim anim_wpn_switchrank
function wpn_std_switchrank
end
end

[skinny killer]

but that's how all of the weapon scripts are. they have two "END" commands and the end of the script.

and as for the one with the "delayend 6 \\auto"; that's how it was in the JO script. so I figured thats how it was suposed to be.

this is weird! I even tried a reinstall....... still screws up....

oh well....... I don't want to wory you about it......

[Chrispy]

Oh yes you're right. There are two ends at the end.

I'd go to the WTF site forums and ask. I know of a few guys that are way better than me at .defs.

[Hellfighter]

you know chrispy

would be funny to add something to a mod so you know you have a hand in it, a bet like a trade mark thing. ever shot heard like 200 rounds going off a small fart is heard! its smaller at first then get louder and very loud till it sounds like a grenade blowing up right next to the person using the weapon you added to the mod sound for that weapon, you see greenish black smoke coming out of the person rearend too lmfao

[Chrispy]

I have weapon templates from LoA (dunno if Nova passed them onto him or if he created them himself). There's templates for pistols, assault rifles, etc.

I've done a stick before as a melee weapon and all the original files are available for download on my site (see signature -> DFX section on my site).

I posted there like you said and BuLL pointed out the prob. I was missing the ".BAD files.

if you decrypt the AK47_1st.ADM you'll see a list of files. those files are the actual animations. sense I didn't have those files in the game the ADM file couldn't find them so it caused the game to crash!

I placed those files in the game and it worked great!

Well now I know.,,,,,,,,, and so do you.

thanks a million Chris!

[Chrispy]

Lol I actually thought the .adm was the animation file. Then I remember the .bad is the actual animation file (.bad = Bone Animation Data).

NPs. Thank BuLL.

[skinny killer]

lol I thanked all of ya.
