Duplicate weapons

Mazirix · Post by **Mazirix** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 11:17 am

I need help.... me and mattae are making a mod and I need to know how to get the sniper rifle, pistol, ect. in HMT without getting rid of the same weapons in the map, because most of mattae's models are either from the sniper rifle or from the pistol..... So if anyone could give me a tutorial or help me with it, it would be appreciated....

It's a pc map.... and mattae has models for the sniper rifle.... like the m4a1 an ak 47 but we can't put both of them in because there is only one sniper rifle in the map...is that detailed enough? if not you could ask mattae....

Check out this tutorial, and maybe look around for a few others (may not
have survived the mother of all prunings recently)

You need to duplicate the weapons so that you have sniper and sniper2 in
the same map, that way you can make changes to one without affecting
the other.

Basically extract your map, duplicate and rename your item folder, go
though the XML files for the item and change the directory and file
references, add the additional folder into your rebuild.

I think there's an App around the forums that will do the renaming, not
really sure as I still do mine by hand.

that is exactly what i just did, lol you beat me to it decoy. it is possible to add both your models in just do as decoy said.
