Thanks for the help guys i currently have the folders in my root directly with developer mode on. I will make a kpf and post it when I get home.

I am trying to add a custom weapon called "blaster" to turok 2, however, the weapon is not showing up in the weapon selection carousel or anywhere else ingame. I set up developer mode and the filesystem then made these changes:

• Added the converted models to char/ and materials to material/
• Added an icon in gfx/hud/weapons/
• Added this code to defs/common.txt:

Code: [Select]

#define kActor_Wpn_Blaster              1525
#define kActor_Item_WpnBlaster          2113
#define kWpn_Blaster            33
#define kWpnChar_Blaster        18


• Added this code to defs/weaponInfo.txt

Code: [Select]

Weapon kWpn_Blaster
{
    offset                  "6 7 10"
    actor                   kActor_Wpn_Blaster
    defaultWeapon           FALSE
    owned                   TRUE
    allowUnderwater         FALSE
    allowLand               TRUE
    allowMultiplayer        TRUE
    icon                    "gfx/hud/weapons/h_w_blaster.png"
    ammo                    "Ammo_Bullet"
initialAmmoAmount       100
    ammoConsumption         1
    projectileParticle      kParticle_PlasmaShot
    charMeshIndex           kWpnChar_Blaster
    priority                9000
    slot                    3
    pickupTypeID            kActor_Item_WpnBlaster
    quickslot               2
}


• Added this code to defs/actors/weapons.txt

Code: [Select]

Blaster kActor_Wpn_Blaster
{
    className                   "kexPlayerWeapon"
    initialScale                "1 1 1"
   
    Begin_Component "kexRenderMeshComponent"
        mesh                    "char/blaster.skinnedmesh"
        anim                    "anims/Weapon_Magnum_Pistol.anim"
        bRenderAsWeapon         TRUE
    End_Component
   
    Begin_Component "kexAnimTrackComponent"
    End_Component
   
    Begin_Component "kexScriptComponent"
        scriptClass             "TurokWeapon"
    End_Component
}


Any help would be greatly appreciated I would love to start making mods for this great game!

Your a modder like myself. In that we do not know what your install is looking like, you could have developer mode enabled and something loosely conflicting with your work.

Try turning off developer mode, have everything in a .kpf and get back to us.

I copy and pasted what you did and it works just fine for me. It shows up in the weapon selection carousel. You need to lower the priority value to something like 7950 for it to show up on the weapon wheel with those slot and quickslot values, but other than that it should be working fine. Maybe you did something else and forgot about it? Try starting over. Copy just the script additions you've done and don't copy the materials, icons, models just yet and see if it works.
