Reality Factory

Seeing there seems to be a need for it, here is a basic, barebones weapon package.

(Dont laugh at the model, i didnt aim for good looks)

Instructions:

To use this weapon example, extract the 'media' folder to your 'RealityFactory' folder (default 'C:\RealityFactory'). Add this to the top of your 'install\weapon.ini' file (or wherever there is free space that is not in the middle of another definition):

[WeaponBullet]
type = projectile
actor = Weapons/Projectile.act
rotation = 0 0 0
scale = 0.1
gravity = false
bounce = false
speed = 3000
lifetime = 1
boundingbox = 1
explosion = GeneralExplosion
actorexplosion = GeneralExplosion
showboth = false
attachactor = false
bonelevel = true
damage = 60
altdamage = 15
explosionradius = 128
explosiondamage = 30
decal = 0
movesound = footsteps/footstep.wav
impactsound = Weapons/Impact.wav

[Weapon]
type = weapon
slot = 0
firerate = 1
catagory = projectile
projectile = WeaponBullet
attribute = health
ammunition = WeaponBullet
shotpermagazine = 8
ammopershot = 1
attacksound = Weapons/Fire.wav
reloadsound = Weapons/Reload.wav
emptysound = Weapon/Empty.wav
crosshair = crosshair.bmp
crosshairalpha = a_crosshair.bmp
crosshairfixed = true
allowlitcrosshair = true
crosshairlitcolor = 255 0 0

recoildecay = 5
bobamount = 20
viewreloadanim = Reload
viewkeyreloadanim = Reload
viewattackemptyanim = Fire
environmentmapping = false
allmaterial = false
percentmapping = 0
percentmaterial = 0

Then, add this to the top of your 'install\player.ini' file (or wherever there is free space that is not in the middle of another definition):

[Weapon]
initial = 0
low = 0
high = 1

[WeaponBullet]
initial = 16
low = 0
high = 32

Next, open the 'weapontest.3dt' level in RFEditPro, compile, run, and grab your new weapon. Enjoy!

POST-RELEASE NOTE: If the crosshair dosent work, hit Escape ingame and click Options, select Controls, click Advanced and check 'Crosshair'.

Hmm..when I open the level, it says "cannot find weapontest.3dt". Wierd :/.

Ill just use the readme in a self made map.

Thanks alot though man! This should really help!

thats odd. no problem, hope it helps, if you want to test the weapon itself change 'initial' for the weapon itself in player.ini to 1.

Actually, thats a problem I mentioned in another thread a while back. Basically, I cant open any precompiled maps or any demo games. Anyway, awesome "tutorial". Weapon comes out and works fine

that's wierd. have you tried opening tools/inieditor, checking "level open dialog" (or something similar to that, dont know the exact wording), starting rf, double-clicking the "weapontest" map in the dialog that comes up, then clicking new game?

glad to hear it works!

I did that, now it just crashes after the genisis 3d screen, without any messages. Wierd :/

Oh well. All that matters is that I can play my own self-compiles levels.

i did everything you said but i don't have bullets when i fire

just curious - did the original RF weapon pack i posted a while ago disappear?

i'm sure i still have it kicking around on a harddrive somewhere - i could post it again as well if people want.

it had 5 or 6 weapons, with sound effects, hud elements etc...

I think Quest used some for the new RF 075a demo on the
RF DL page.
