Mbch Weapon Overrides

Class-specific weapon overrides for Full Authentic are handled by blocks of text between braces pasted after the ClassInfo block in a class's .mbch file.

Using such overrides

Again, you might want to look at another map's files to see how it's been used there.

Here is an example weapon block of text that goes at the end of a file, with only the required fields:

WeaponInfo0
{
    WeaponToReplace    WP_BLASTER   //Required: Weapon Slot of weapon you're replacing

    WeaponBasedOff     WP_BOWCASTER //Required: For future use, should be the same as WeaponToReplace

    NewWorldModel      "models/weapons2/dh-17/dh-17_w.glm" //Required: New 3rd person/dropped weapon model

    NewViewModel       "models/weapons2/dh-17/dh-17.md3"   //Required: New 1st person weapon model

    Icon               "gfx/hud/w_icon_dh-17" //Required: Weapon change icon

    WeaponName         "DH-17"                //Required: Weapon change display name

}

Here's a somewhat more complex example of an override:

WeaponInfo0
{
    WeaponToReplace     WP_BRYAR_OLD      //Required: Weapon Slot of weapon you're replacing

    WeaponBasedOff      WP_BLASTER_PISTOL //Required: For future use, should be the same as WeaponToReplace

    NewWorldModel       "models/weapons2/blaster_two/blaster_pistol_w.glm"       //Required: New 3rd person/dropped weapon model

    CorrectedWorldModel "models/weapons2/blaster_pistol/blaster_pistol_corrected.glm"
    NewViewModel        "models/weapons2/blaster_pistol/blaster_pistol_dual.md3" //Required: New 1st person weapon model

    MuzzleEffect        "blaster/MuzzleFlash01R" //Optional: New muzzle effect

    AltMuzzleEffect     "blaster/MuzzleFlash01R" //Optional: New alt muzzle effect

    MissileEffect       "blaster/Shot02R" //Optional: New effect to be displayed on the projectile

    customAmmo          750
    AltMissileEffect    "blaster/Shot02R" //Optional: Ditto for the alt fire

    FlashSound0         "sound/weapons/bryar/fire.mp3" //Optional: Sound played when the weapon fires

    AltFlashSound0      "sound/weapons/bryar/alt_fire.mp3"
    ChargeEffect        "gfx/effects/bryarfrontflash"
    ChargeSound         "sound/weapons/bryar/altcharge.mp3"
    Icon                "models/weapons2/blaster_pistol/w_icon_bryar_duals" //Required: Weapon change icon

    WeaponName          "Dual DL-44's" //Required: Weapon change display name

    //altFireEnabled    0

}

If you want to have more than one override for a class, call the second block WeaponInfo1, the third WeaponInfo2, and so on. Example:

WeaponInfo0
{
    WeaponToReplace     WP_STUN_BATON
    WeaponBasedOff      WP_STUN_BATON
    NewWorldModel       "models/weapons2/droidblaster/bd_blaster_w.glm"
    NewViewModel        "models/weapons2/droidblaster/padme_blaster.md3"
    CorrectedWorldModel "models/weapons2/droidblaster/bd_blaster_w.glm"
    
    MissileEffect "blaster/shot"
        AltMissileEffect "blaster/shot"
    
    Missile3Effect "blaster/shot"
        FlashSound0    "sound/weapons/westar/fire.mp3"
        AltFlashSound0 "sound/weapons/westar/alt_fire.mp3"
        ChargeEffect   "gfx/effects/bryarfrontflash"
        ChargeSound    "sound/weapons/bryar/altcharge.mp3"

    ProjSpeedModifier  0.01
}

ProjSpeedModifier

Changes the travel time of the weapon's projectile shots. Default = 1, higher values result in faster projectiles, and vice versa, e.g. a value of 1.5 is 50% faster travel time. I AM NOT CONVINCED THIS WORKS -G

MissileHitHumanEffect

The impact effect of the primary shot if it hits an enemy.

AltMissileHitHumanEffect

Sound Values

FlashSound<n>

Sound used when firing primary. You can have up to four flash sounds, from FlashSound0 to FlashSound3. If you have more than one FlashSound, the one used is randomised. The value should be the path to the sound (including extensions) in quotes. However, sounds are usually governed by the efx.

AltFlashSound<n>

Sound used when firing secondary. You can have up to four flash sounds, from AltFlashSound0 to AltFlashSound3. If you have more than one altFlashSound, the one used is randomised. The value should be the path to the sound (including extensions) in quotes. However, sounds are usually governed by the efx.

Model Values

NewWorldModel

The glm model that the weapon uses.

NewViewModel

The md3 first person model that the weapon uses. If you don't want to use a FPV model (if you're replacing a saber), use the model models/weapons2/dummy/dummy.md3.

NewHandsModel

Path to the _hand.md3 the model should be using.

NewBarrelModel

Path to the barrel .md3 the model should be using.

CorrectedWorldModel

Path to the .glm model used for the second pistol (for westars or arc pistols) - defaults to the NewWorldModel if not specified.

missileModel

altMissileModel

Path to the secondary fire missile .md3 model that the weapon should be using.

primHitscanShot

Convert the primary fire of this weapon to an instant-hit hitscan trace instead of a physical projectile. This does not work for all types of weapons, and does not always retain all the properties of the existing weapon. (Generally, explosive weapons won't convert to hitscan, and hitscan shots don't bounce off much of anything.)

altHitscanShot

Convert the secondary fire of this weapon to an instant-hit hitscan trace instead of a physical projectile. This does not work for all types of weapons, and does not always retain all the properties of the existing weapon. (Generally, explosive weapons won't convert to hitscan, and hitscan shots don't bounce off much of anything.)

primHitscanTracer

Valid values: 0 through 10. Percent change in 10% increments, of a visible tracer occurring with hitscan weaponfire of this weapon. 0 is never, 5 is 50% chance per hitscan trace, 10 is 100% chance.

altHitscanTracer

Valid values: 0 through 10. Percent change in 10% increments, of a visible tracer occurring with hitscan weaponfire of this weapon. 0 is never, 5 is 50% chance per hitscan trace, 10 is 100% chance.

primGore

Will this weapon's primary fire upon striking someone or something, draw blood?

altGore

Will this weapon's secondary fire upon striking someone or something, draw blood?

Note: If only doing sec fire replacements, you can fix the weapon reload sound glitch that uses your primary sounds by transferring and renaming the sec fields to their primary equivalents.
