I want to make a weapons pack with various machine-guns.
I am rather new to modding Cortex Command though, so I wondering where I should start with the coding process?
I've already got the sprites and sounds taken care of.

Um...........how complicated u planning to get?

U talking how fast the bullets go, how much damage they do, where do they fire?

I want the main properties of the weapon to be on the spot, so, rounds per minute, accuracy, weapon damage, weapon penetration, bullet speed, reload speed, clip size, etc...

Basic Modding Guide done by Lord Tim

^Look here first

Otherwise, the mass of the bullet affects how much dmg it does, the material of it kinda, RateOfFire affects how fast it fires of course.....ShakeRange affects how far off target it can go, Sharplength affects how far you can see it fire, the sharpenss of the bullet affects how much penetration there is, ReloadTime is how long it takes to, of course, reload...


Under the magazine, RoundCount is how many rounds per clip, and RTT ratio is how many normal rounds there are per 1 tracer round..

ask is theres anything else ud like to know

Thank you!
I will be sure to ask if I need more help.

ok

I followed that tutorial, and now I am getting this error:



Here is the code in M60.ini:


Here is the code in Index.ini:

InstanceName, not Instance Name and i think its presetname...

You think what is preset name? Do I replace InstanceName with PresetName?

InstanceName Implies that it is a CopyOf with a modification, PresetName means that what you're defining is original.

Oh ok, thank you.

M60.ini looks like this now and I am still getting errors:

It probably wants HitsMOs. You should probably just upload the mod for faster debugging.

Ok, I uploaded it. Here is the download:

Do field testings when the coding's done. Play around with different numbers (bullet mass, sharpness, velocity, etc), then field test the guns. May get unexpected results.
