Talk:Adding Firing Modes to your weapons

Localized string in kb_act.lst

To specify these strings in kb_act.lst, do something like "#MyMod_Firemode" (doesn't matter what this is, just have to be consistent and unique).

Now go to mymod_language.txt (so for english, this would be mymod_english.txt) and add a line like:

   "MyMod_Firemode"	"Change Fire Mode"

If you don't have a language file already, create one with the following format:

   "lang" 
   { 
       "Language" "English" 
       "Tokens" 
       {
           "MyMod_Firemode"	"Change Fire Mode"
       }
   }

You can also get a sample language file and work off of that. A good way to do this is get GCFScape and open up the gcf for hl2dm and copy/rename a file in there to your mod's resource directory and just add your extra language definitions.

Suggested Merge

It’s been suggested to merge this tutorial, but I think more examples are better to maintain understanding. The inheritance approach to adding functions is a good teaching tool for how source code and game was designed. Ninjaofsauce (talk) 17:45, 12 November 2024 (PST)

Cleanup is priority

The suggested merge is necessary, yes, but it's secondary. The primary is that this article is written bad. Vague and opinionated, written in the first person too. Lets fix this article and then merge it. - CHILLMODEA (talk) 17:38, 8 June 2025 (PDT)
