How do you Add Weapons?

[LuckyNinja]

I open up the projectiles.db and I clone the flintlock rifle, but just alter velocity, base reload time and a few other things, and yet every time I put it into the pack and have a unit use it the game crashes. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please?

Your new row has a new projectileID, right?

What unit are you adding it to, and what other gun related entries do you have? IE which gun model is it using, what animation table is it using, etc...

I just noticed this problem with patch 4 and started having problems editing projectiles db file and adding them to units. Make sure you extract the projectile table from patch.pack and it should work. It's weird because all my previous mods work before patch 3 though now when I try to create a new mod with patch 4, crash!

Please add long guns to the Streltsy unit while you're at it...

There's a mod for adding guns to them. I was a little confused by this as well lol, it's a "Marksmen" (translation from Russian) unit without a gun.

As for adding weapons, I think there's more you have to edit than just projectiles_tables, I remember when I was trying to add a blunderbuss to the game I had to edit several tables.

Oh okay thanks. If you could tell me, or even better make a tut, that would be great. I'd definately rep you.

Anyways, I've made the ID musket_flintlock_elite or something like that. I've successfully (ie working) made super units for Britain, France, Austria and Germany, and these are their weapons (and no I don't care about historical accuracy). Its really annnoying, and as I said, everything is the same as the normal flintlock rifle except for velocity, base reloading time etc...

I had this problem yesterday when trying to create a Puckle gun clone... something about the projectiles table crashes the game on startup. It also seemed to corrupt the whole pack file - even when I deleted everything inside it, the presence of the packfile crashed the game. Very annoying.

Take projectile_db from patch.pack file.

I GOT a FIND ok so after looking at the tutorial i thought wtf i did this but i relized using the pack file manager i relized why teh game crashes when you clone a weapon. when you clone the weapon save it now go down the say (for me it was rambow). i relized after saving a few columns were now missing for one it no longer said projectile_arrow or alpha_shrapnel or at the vbery end musket_ball after i added those lines the game loaded. so if you are gonna make a new weapon save and you have to add back those 3 lines or game crashes hope i helped now REP..jk
