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! ---
