What?! :open_mouth:

Just asking, how much does it take to port 1 weapon?

10

Basically, first I make a new weapon class. Then, I make a new material instance for the weapon because the old materials needed to be cleaned up (this is not the same as a texture, a material defines how the texture reacts to its environment, ie. is it metal, etc). After that, I put in the world model into the weapon and position it properly (same with the first person model). Then, I set all the properties of the weapon (how much ammo, clip size, fire rate, crosshair, icon, sounds, etc). I look at the old weapon system to get these values again. And then, I setup any special things about the weapon (most are just bullet shooters - nothing fancy). And finally, I save, compile, and test away - tuning as needed.

It is a pretty tedious process, but doesn’t take too long. I didn’t migrate any weapons today. We were deciding on the naming schemes and the overall design, plus I spent most of the day cleaning up the game, so we can actually start doing this conversion.

The view model arm base is gonna be great because this will make any future weapons easier to animate!
