Never xD

Do you want the weapon to be server-side or clienside?

Weaponmodel settings are at munitions
Ammo model+ damage and warhead are at munitions
(In the weapon you set the ammo type the gun uses)

At the powerup section you make the weapon into a drobable item.

Either temp or add a new powerup ->

(settings tab in the powerup)
GrantweaponID= A weapon that you get from the powerup
Check grantweapon
and check allways allowgrant

This is in short what you have got to do if you need a really advanced tutorial just call

(this is just an example)
Say the automatic rifle skins = auto.dds

Your custom weapon uses the same model as the normal autorifle?

And you want only one to have the skin?

There are two options ->
1. You give the automaticrifle anothere model (download one from the internet)
2. You give your custom weapon a custom model.

As fas as I know it is not possible to have the same texture twice and different on another model

Hex edit the texture name. As long as it's got the same length you shouldn't have any issues.

Here's a sample.
Hexeditor used is XVI32.
Today we want to make the laser rifle pink.

First we unzip always.dat and find all the required files.
To do so we search for "lsrr"
A list pops up:
f_gm_lsrr.dds
f_gm_lsrr.w3d
f_ha_lsrr_enter.w3d
f_ha_lsrr_exit.w3d
f_ha_lsrr_fire.w3d
f_ha_lsrr_idle.w3d
f_ha_lsrr_relod.w3d
mz_lsrr1.w3d
mz_lsrr3.w3d
p_lsrr.w3d
w_lsrr.dds
w_lsrr.w3d
w_lsrr_b.w3d

The 1st thing you might want to do is rename all files.
Replace "lsrr" with "pink". Keep lenght of name constant.

Now upen up all the w3d files in the hex editor.
Press Ctrl+R to open the Replace menu.
Replace "lsrr" with "pink".
Save the file.
Repeat this step for every w3d.

Now your set of files is pretty much done to be used in leveledit. Clone the first person model preset, the 3rd person preset and the powerup spawner preset.

Edit f_gm_pink.dds and w_pink.dds in any way you please.
