Luckily for me, weapon defining in Quake3 is a lot like Quake2. You first need to open bg_misc.c in the game code, and find where you see this:
| | |
/*QUAKED weapon_shotgun (.3 .3 1) (-16 -16 -16) (16 16 16) suspended
*/
{
"weapon_shotgun",
"sound/misc/w_pkup.wav",
{ "models/weapons2/shotgun/shotgun.md3",
0, 0, 0},
/* icon */ "icons/iconw_shotgun",
/* pickup */ "Shotgun",
10,
IT_WEAPON,
WP_SHOTGUN,
/* precache */ "",
/* sounds */ ""
},
|
Ok, here is where the shotgun is defined. Now I will explain what each big means.
| | |
/*QUAKED weapon_shotgun (.3 .3 1) (-16 -16 -16) (16 16 16) suspended // Just the name of the weapon, commented out.
*/
{
"weapon_shotgun", // What the map editors call the weapon when you place it in a map
"sound/misc/w_pkup.wav", // Sound used when you pick up the weapon
{ "models/weapons2/shotgun/shotgun.md3", // Model used for the pickup state of the weapon
0, 0, 0},
/* icon */ "icons/iconw_shotgun", // The icon on the screen that shows up when you have this weapon selected
/* pickup */ "Shotgun", // Pickup name! Very important, this is what the gun is called in the game,
// when you switch to it or pick it up. This is what you want to change
10, // How much ammo you get when you pick it up
IT_WEAPON, // Just stuff about what it is
WP_SHOTGUN, // What weapon code is actually used for the weapon
/* precache */ "",
/* sounds */ ""
},
|
Now, to change the Shotgun into the “Superdedewper Shotgun” we change the following:
to
| | |
/* pickup */ "Superdedewper Shotgun",
|
Now compile the code, and it should say “Superdedewper Shotgun” every time you pick up the weapon! (Note: On weapons like the gauntlet and the MachineGun, you may want to search the code for “FindItem”’s finding those names and change them to the new ones.) |
