DeusExWeapon (DX)

What does it do the original Weapon doesn't?

First of all, touching it won't get into your inventory, only Frobbing it.
There will be a [ ] around it, with the weapon name shown.
There can only be one thing in a belt slot at one time.
Single Player - they take up spaces in the inventory.
Multi Player - they are only allowed on the first three beltslots by default.

Modding a weapon

There are certain WeaponMod pickups extending DeusExPickup. They aren't weapons after all, rather, they are used to power-up weapons in singleplayer (in multiplayer, it's useless as there is no inventory screen).

Weapon mods

WeaponModAccuracy: Increases the BaseAccuracy of the weapon
WeaponModClip: Increases clip size of the weapon
WeaponModLaser: Attaches Laser Sight to the weapon
WeaponModRange: Increases weapon's accurateRange
WeaponModRecoil: Reduces weapon recoil
WeaponModReload: Reduces reloadTime of your weapon
WeaponModScope: Attaches a Scope to the weapon
WeaponModSilencer: Attaches a Silencer to the weapon

Weapons using mods

Of course, some of the weapons cannot take some mods. Like, imagine a rocket launcher with a silencer... Impossible, ain't it?

These are set by the properties "bCanHave..."

... should be replaced by one of the following things. What it allows is obvious.
- ModBaseAccuracy
- ModAccurateRange
- ModRecoilStrength
- ModReloadTime (reload)
- ModReloadCount (clip)
- Scope
- Laser
- Silencer

The End

That would be our beloved DeusExWeapon. Hope this page will help the future modders of the game's small community.
