Adding new weapons and creating weapons is not the easiest process, but it can be done. If you do a search, im sure you will come up with a ton of info on how this works. If not, leave a message and i will see what I can find for you.

Mr. Temkin would be the one to contact about modding the weapons.

I mean... I'm sure I knew at one time. But that... was a long ... time ago.

So... the .dat is really a .txt extension, only Snails recognizes .dat instead of .txt. I want to change the name of a weapon. Do I do this from here? Because I did and nothing seems to change.

Also, there seems to be a picture that corresponds with the weapon, where is this?

thanks

Oh yeah, for the picture of the weapon, what are the requirements? ex. Dimensions, colors.

If you do some searching you should find Jaybot's link to the zbm's of the weapons used in Snails. These will give you a good idea of what is required, once you convert them to BMP. Simply, Use any colors you would like except for magenta which is reserved for transparent. As for dimensions, the frame strips can be as long as you need them to be, but the individual frames need to be square, as I understand it the program uses the height of the strip to judge the width of the idividual frames. These frames are named A,B,C ... by the program and that is what you use to write the animation sequence in the weapons.dat file. Hope this helps.
