What's wrong with this weapon?

Post by Tartlman »

Hello,

I have just started getting in to modding and I have tried to put together a weapon. However, there are a few problems:
1.) The weapon will not spawn in to the game.
2.) using give commands does not give the weapon.
I am very new to modding, so don't use any language that's too complicated :)

Here's the file:

Well, all you did is to dump the files into wad without any order. That cannot work this way - wad has to have the files structured in order to work.
So, check this page and make order in your wad. Basically, sprites has to be between S_START and S_END marks, so engine can find them. The weapon presently dont work because of missing sprite graphics. The ordering of wad is described here:
https://zdoom.org/wiki/WAD

Also, do you have any particular reason for 2 decorate files?

edit: corrected typos ;)

I don't really know much about decorate, i was basing this off of code from someone else's code
I'll try to fix the order as soon as I can.
