mc manus multiple entries

[neiko]

it has been some time since i messed with SR:3
in the past i have moved the mc manus sniper-rifle to various category -- though i do not recall how
>>however the problem with doing so remained: any guardian angel mission//challenge
>>[where using the sniper to cover another saint] -- would not load correctly - causing the sniper to
>>not be available for that mission//challenge

im rather certain on a past PC i had made it so the sniper was available for both the "special" aswell
the "rifle" category -- though i do not recall how or have access to the previous file(s)

what i had tried this time:
>>editing the weapons.xtbl - by adding a 2nd entry for the sniper and changing the ::
<_Editor>
<Category>Entries:weapon_radial:special</Category>
<Inv_Slot>special</Inv_Slot>
<Category>WPNCAT_SPECIAL</Category>
to:
<_Editor>
<Category>Entries:weapon_radial:rifle</Category>
<Inv_Slot>rifle</Inv_Slot>
<Category>WPNCAT_rifle</Category>

[aswell a varity of combinations of the above]
which showed it as an available option in both special and rifle within weapons cache
--but when selected would just result in a blank weapon

soo~ yeah requesting abit of help here
-- what am i doing wrong//what am i forgetting//etc
thanks

You can't add new weapons in SR3 .

 

[neiko]

im aware new weps can not be added
however duplicate//or rather making a single existing wep
available in multiple slots was previously possible

Nope ! You need to replace another entry .

hmm-- wonder if i did it with cheat engine or something
in the past...
any way --
when moving its location do you just change the 3 entry
listed above in the oringal post?
or is it just one or two ...or....

Everything has to match. Inventory,radial,category.
Then make a duplicate copy of the same weapon in the weapons.xtbl and make those entries for a different category,radial, inventory than the first. That way your not making a new weapon simply using an existing one in 2 places.

that is what i did --
made a 2nd entry in weapons.xtbl
changing the 3 catagories [to match] as rifle entry
--the result was within the weapons cache it appeared in both section
however when you would select it for the rifle slot - it would not appear//
only the white outline would be there...

What about the "WPNCAT-RIFLE"?
This also tells it the category of the weapon.
WPNCAT_RIFLE must be in all caps lock also
Second you have category and radial mismatching
