Adding weapons

Multiplayer

• • • This guide assumes that you started out with HL2MP and VC++ Express Edition (It's FREE)***

The models Weapons consist of 2 models, each with their own prefix. A model named v_???.mdl is a view model this is the model that is seen from the players perspective, this normally consists of not only the weapon model but also the player hands. Next is the w_???.mdl; this is known as the world model, these models are used for weapons laying on the ground and also for weapons that you can see in other characters/players hands.

You can make your own or use the CSS one's.

Once you have made the relevant models, they go into the folder: /nameofmodfolder/models/weapons/

The Textures The textures/skins for the weapons also need to be placed in the correct folder so once the textures are done, they need to be placed in: /nameofmodfolder/materials/models/weapons/

weapon_???.txt Each weapon has its own script file which can be edited in any .txt program, the weapon script file has many different purposes, which include:- model file names, bucket info, clip size, ammo type, weight, sounds, icons, crosshairs. For pistols start with pistol.txt, and for SMGs MGs, and assault rifle use smg1.txt as a template. This is an example of the weapon_pistol.txt file:

Code: // Pistol

WeaponData {

  // Weapon data is loaded by both the Game and Client DLLs.
  "printname"   "#HL2_Pistol"
  "viewmodel"         "models/weapons/v_pistol.mdl"
  "playermodel"      "models/weapons/w_pistol.mdl"
  "anim_prefix"      "pistol"
  "bucket"         "1"
  "bucket_position"   "0"

  "clip_size"         "18"
  "primary_ammo"      "Pistol"
  "secondary_ammo"   "None"

  "weight"         "2"
  "item_flags"      "0"

  // Sounds for the weapon. There is a max of 16 sounds per category (i.e. max 16 "single_shot" sounds)
  SoundData
  {

     "reload"      "Weapon_Pistol.Reload"
     "reload_npc"   "Weapon_Pistol.NPC_Reload"
     "empty"         "Weapon_Pistol.Empty"
     "single_shot"   "Weapon_Pistol.Single"
     "single_shot_npc"   "Weapon_Pistol.NPC_Single"
     "special1"      "Weapon_Pistol.Special1"
     "special2"      "Weapon_Pistol.Special2"
     "burst"         "Weapon_Pistol.Burst"
  }

  // Weapon Sprite data is loaded by the Client DLL.
  TextureData
  {
     "weapon"
     {
           "font"      "WeaponIcons"
           "character"   "d"
     }
     "weapon_s"
     {   
           "font"      "WeaponIconsSelected"
           "character"   "d"
     }
     "ammo"
     {
           "font"      "WeaponIcons"
           "character"   "p"
     }
     "crosshair"
     {
           "font"      "Crosshairs"
           "character"   "Q"
     }
     "autoaim"
     {
           "file"      "sprites/crosshairs"
           "x"         "0"
           "y"         "48"
           "width"      "24"
           "height"   "24"
     }
  }

}

so create your weapon_nameofweapon.txt file in the same format as shown and save it in the following folder:

/nameofmodfolder/scripts/

"printname" "#HL2_Pistol" --Make this whatever you want

Making your weapon show in Hammer -- Not Tested sorry To get your weapon to show in hammer you need to add the entry to your .fgd file, which should be saved in sourcesdk/bin/

Open it up in notepad or similar, and find where the other (HL2) weapons are referenced. Add yours with them, here is an example: @PointClass base(Weapon) studio("models/weapons/w_tazer.mdl") = weapon_tazer : "Tazer" []

Create C++ files

// CODE ENDS HERE

Now look up the HL2MP at the HL side, right click on Weapon and New/Add existing item. Look up the file you created previously and you are almost done.

I'm pretty sure you don't want to call your gun XCAR, so make a Find and Replace and replace all XCAR with some SHORTWEAPONNAME (like SIG552) Make sure the Match Case is clicked in! Now replace all the xcar with the shortweaponname (like sig552). Remember it is CASE SENSITIVE!!! Now go to your sourcemod folder and create a weapon_shortweaponname.txt (like weapon_sig552) in the Scripts folder. I usually make a copy of an existing file. Congratulation your gun should work!

It will have a zoom function with the 2nd fire key, stance and health dependant accuarcy, and burst. If you want to make it trully selective fire, use the code below. It takes away the zoom so you can switch the fire mode with the 2nd fire button.

Code with single shot or burst (burst not working)

// CODE ENDS HERE

Open:

C:\yourmod\src\cl_dll\hl2_hud\c_weapon__stubs_hl2.cpp

add your gun under #ifndef HL2MP (line 27)

just copy and paste one of the lines renaming the relevant information

Example:

STUB_WEAPON_CLASS( weapon_ar2, WeaponAR2, C_HLMachineGun );

changed to

STUB_WEAPON_CLASS( weapon_m249, WeaponM4A1, C_HLMachineGun );

Open:

C:\yourmod\src\game_shared\hl2mp\hl2mp_gamerules.cpp

Find CAmmoDef *GetAmmoDef() (Line 910)

Copy and paste the line that is closest to your weapon type, I chose

def.AddAmmoType("MP5NAVY",DMG_BULLET,TRACER_LINE_AND_WHIZ,0,0,225,BULLET_IMPULSE(200,1225),0 );

Replace MP5NAVY with the ammo name in your script file (weapon_???.txt)

Make the code files where ever you want, I would recommend your C:/modname/src folder. When you complete the code expand under Server -> Sources Files -> HL2MP -> Weapons, right-click on Weapons then Add -> Existing Item and find your .cpp file

Do the same for Client -> Sources Files -> HL2MP -> Weapons

also, if you want your weapon to be given with the impulse 101 cheat, add it in this file: /dlls/player.cpp

NOTE: some of the directory structures may be different, following SDK updates etc. this was written after the large August 2006 update

There you have it; you should now have an understanding of how to get a new weapon in-game. Be aware that there is a lot of work to be done that I have not mentioned in detail, such as the code or explaining the weapon_???,txt file fully. Most people should be able to figure out the rest.

Good luck and I hope to see some new weapons being made soon.

I noticed that there were no decent up-to-date guides hence this wiki -Iliketofrolic666

this is a work in progress
