KEYCONF

weaponsection MyNewWeapons
setslot 1 LightSaber

According to the documentation this should work but it just give me a missing sprite exclamation point on the chainsaw.

what exactly is not working???

anyway, try removing "Weapon.SelectionOrder 350"
and
make sure the pickup sprite is between ss_start and ss_end

[Cutmanmike]

Ensure that all your weapon sprites are valid sprites and are formatted correctly in your wad (as ds201 said, between SS_START and SS_END lumps if you're in WAD format).

Secondly, make sure you summon or give the weapon to yourself in game. Type Give All on the console and try pressing weapon slot 1.

ok now my console is saying LightSaber at (-480, 848) has no frames...

The sprites are from http://www.doomworld.com/gbd2/weapons/index2.htm i just wanted to replace the dehacked file with a decorate. So all the frames should be in the correct place as I put them back at the coordinate they were before.

I uploaded it, maybe if you can see it, you maybe be able to tell me what im doing wrong.

edit: ya i do the give all, since im doing a setslot in my keyconf it should pull up the light saber but it just make the key not do anything.

[Ceeb]

No frames is caused by a lack of sprites, the sprites being named incorrectly, or not being between the SS_START and SS_END markers...

zOMG, i just figured it out, i was naming them LSBGA, LSBGB, LSBGC, when they need to be named LSBGA0, LSBGB0, LSBGC0. Thanks for the help guys.

...Yeah, you can't forget those frame numbers.

Those are ANGLE numbers - in this case, 0 = visible from all angles.

[XutaWoo]

Hm. I wonder what would happen if you actually gave weapons angle numbers?

[Ceeb]

It probably wouldn't work. Also, WildWeasel, chill dude. Simple mistake. Either way, our new friend solved his problem.

Who says I'm angry about anything? Just because I decide to place emphasis on a word doesn't mean I'm angry. I'm mainly trying to make sure that our newbies don't absorb too much misinformation.

Oh. You just seemed to be snippy with me is all. Sorry, then.

As for misinformation, I'd like to think I'm good at editing, I just forget the terms.

Also, particular parameters in a function do tend to be capitalized all the way, as do certain other words and such. So don't worry.

In other words, BRIGHT and bright both accomplish the same thing.
