Weapons Mods (Moderately Advanced)

[Ross Koepke]

I've been trying to make a new weapons mod, but got stuck when I couldn't figure out how to change reload times, how long it takes to throw things (like flashbangs or grenades) , and how long it takes to set charges (like the C4). Anyone got any ideas?

You may want to check ecm.txt, found in the kit file.
However, I believe that only has the data for the effect of flashes, grenades, c4, breaches, etc, not the throwing or placing time.

However... I think I hit the target.
Look in the kit file, open (for example) largebreach.eq and frag.eq. A breaching charge takes a while to place, and a frag takes a short amount of time to place (fill up the bar.)

Notice where it says "#  // Encumbrance"
the breach is 30, a large number
the frag is 5, a small number
You can notice similarities, like... electronic kit is a large number, and flashbangs are a small number.

That is my guess, but I bet 20 bucks it's wrong

Gotta love the edit feature

Well that's important but its not what I'm looking for. Encumberance is used in EVERY kit item (even and esp. unis). It's basically the weight of the item. Machine guns make you go slow because they have a large encumberance, whereas a pistol doesnt. And heavy unis have amuch more encumberance than light. You get the idea. Thanks for your effort though

No one knows how to do this? I know the data is held somehwere and its not a contant because breaches take longer to set than C4's. The data for the C4.eq file is

ST_EQP_C4      // Position of name text in localization file
"C4"         // Simulation name ; I think this is it, where do I edit this data?
"Remote Charge"      // Type
10         // Encumberance
"c4_inv.bmp"      // Bitmap name for inventory widget
"act_inv_c4.bmp"   // Inventory icon bitmap
"longclip.bmp"      // Bitmap name for inventory count
"original cross"   // Reticule Type Name
"c4.rob"      // Model filename
"C4"         // Explosion Classx

I can't find any numbers that seem to affect planting times, but I know that some of is based on you charachters statistics.
