Post subject:  Error when trying to add a Custom Weapon
I've made a little nifty FN-P90 weapon and it's giving me an error when I run the game and it checks through all the files then when it gets to the file where I added the weapon that's when I get the error.

(didn't IMG tag it to save bandwidth on the forum)

That's the Code in the SMGs.ini config file in the directory:
"Cortex Command\Base.rte\Devices\SMGs"

All I did was change the names of the image files and the instance file etc.
I tried looking up the ".\System\ConfigFile.ccp" but couldn't find it.

I made this post in need of help and made it as detailed as I could in hope someone would help me and because the Wikipedia page didn't show how to add a weapon and I couldn't find a tutorial on the forum.

Thanks in advance. :D

I also think people should respect the forums more, and when posting should keep it clean and understandable from what I've seen.

I think the problem is that it couldn't locate the sprite mentioned here.

Code:
 FilePath = Base.rte/Devices/SMGs/FNP90-WEAPON.bmp


Check the location, and whether the sprite is named with the correct syntax.

I reserve the right to be completely wrong.

Image

That's the P90 I've made but I made it in Photoshop and made a transparent alpha and the background purple like the other weapons but if I needed to do anything else please tell me.

Wait did you edit the SMG's ini file to create your weapon? If so then change this:

Code:
   Magazine = Magazine
      CopyOf = Magazine SMG
To the correct name of the magazine.

It's giving me this error now after I fixed that Magazine SMG bit to my magazine.

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/5682/error2yh4.png

Line 211 is:

FrameCount = 1

From:
Code:
AddAmmo = Magazine
   InstanceName = Magazine FNP90
   Mass = 2
   HitsMOs = 0
   GetsHitByMOs = 0
   SpriteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Devices/SMGs/FNP90-MAG.bmp
   FrameCount = 1
   SpriteOffset = Vector
      X = -3
      Y = -4
   EntryWound = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Dent Metal
   ExitWound = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Dent Metal
   AtomGroup = AtomGroup

Haha I made a P90 as my first weapon as well :D
You have to always make sure the pictures + file paths are correct, or you will run into problems but otherwise, im not much of a good coder.

Code:
AddDevice = HDFirearm
   InstanceName = FNP90
   AddToGroup = Weapons
   AddToGroup = Automatics
   AddToGroup = Subguns
   Mass = 10
   HitsMOs = 0
   GetsHitByMOs = 1
   SpriteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Devices/SMGs/FNP90-WEAPON.bmp
   FrameCount = 2 <--- That's it

Looks like you didn't make a firing animation/image for the gun, judging by the first error.
To fix, make it go FrameCount = 1 instead.

Oh yes, when spriting, it is DEADLY important to make it in the right palette, or else you'd
just get a fudged up sprite in game.
An easy way to do this is to copy the original sprite into the palette.bmp, and then crop
it into the right size. Or just make it in the palette.bmp image from the start :P

Edit: Hmm, after seeing the second error, i don't know exactly what to do. That type of
error is a real bugger, as it isn't very accurate in pointing out the line.
Wait... I see something.
Code:
AddAmmo = Magazine
   InstanceName = Magazine FNP90
   Mass = 2
   HitsMOs = 0
   GetsHitByMOs = 0
   SpriteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Devices/SMGs/FNP90-MAG.bmp <--- OSHI-
   FrameCount = 1

Is there any sprite file in that folder named FNP90-MAG.bmp?

I actually fixed everything my self and went on to making the Stargate SG-1 Team. :)
When I finish I'll release it. ;P
