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.

Weapon mods

Increases clip size of the weapon
WeaponModLaser 
Attaches Laser Sight to the weapon
WeaponModRange 
Increases weapon's accurateRange
WeaponModRecoil

WeaponModReload 
Reduces reloadTime of your weapon
WeaponModScope

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.
