11.5 Making your own weapons
You can create your own weapons and use them in FPS Creator providing you have media in the X file format, the textures in the TGA file format and the sounds in the WAV file format. First you will need the following resources:
1. Model of the gun to be displayed on the main game screen in FPS perspective
2. Model of the gun for use as a pickup when the weapon is collected
3. Model of the gun for use when an enemy character is using the weapon
4. Textures for all of the above
5. Image for the weapon cross hair (if any)
6. Image for the HUD picture used in combination with displaying ammo count
7. Sound effects for the weapons shooting, reload, dry fire and zoom (WAV)
8. Scope Image if the gun has a scope mode for zooming into your target
Here are the steps to adding your own weapon.
1. It is far simpler to copy an existing weapon, rename and modify than create one from scratch.
2. Navigate to the FPS Creator\Files\gamecore\guns\modernday\commando
3. Copy the entire folder and contents to a new folder, perhaps called FPS Creator\Files\gamecore\guns\MyNewGuns\
4. Make sure your new folder is located inside the gamecore\guns folder
5. Rename your new folder to gamecore\guns\MyNewGuns\BigGun\
6. Copy all your models, textures, sounds and images to this folder using the same names as the existing files. The filenames are self-explanatory
7. The HUD.X is the model you will see onscreen. VWEAP.X is the model you will see when the enemy character is holding the gun.
8. GUNSPEC.TXT allows you to configure the weapon to your liking, and controls everything from its range and accuracy, to the animation frames used by the HUD weapon model. Again the fields are self-explanatory though you will not need to change many of the filenames if you have simply overwritten to the same file names.
9. Muzzleflash, Brass and Smoke refer to which type they should use. These index values refer to models stored in the respective folders in gamecore\
10. Fireloop is used for machine gun style weapons where the fire WAV sound needs to be looped to give the correct audio feedback. The value refers to the position in the sound sequence for the loop-back.
11. HORIZ,VERT and FORWARD control the muzzle flash position
12. ALIGN values control the position of the gun in relation to the camera
13. The KEYFRAMES indicate where each of the weapon animations are within the model animation data
14. The SFRAME values indicate when to trigger the sounds, the first of the parameters indicate the keyframe number to trigger the sound and the second parameter is the sound index you wish to play.
