Expanded Weapons and Tools

[Valmar]

This is a snippit from my Valmod

that includes a few extra weapons, tools and weapon mods like silencers. Consider this to be more of a resource than an actual mod since I do not include everything. You will have to add the new guns to the appropriate recipe books.

 

 

Loot.xml Changes:

Do NOT just add this to your loot xml. You have to find your commonWeaponParts and militaryguns+ammo group and edit them to include these lines:

 

 

 

<lootgroup name="commonWeaponParts">

<item name="partsBoltRifle_parts"/>

 

 

 

<lootgroup name="militaryWeaponParts">

<item name="gunSilencer"/>

<item name="gunScope"/>

<item name="gunChoke"/>

 

 

 

You can add the parts to other places too if you so desire.

 

 

 

Now for the items and recipe xmls. You should be able to just add these in without modifying anything else.

 

Items.xml

Recipes.xml

If you have questions or have problems let me know.

 

Optional:

 

Add this to your Localization file in the config folder

This is awesome! How has no one responded to this thread! I will be looking into putting this on my server. Subtle additions but fun.

[javacodeman113]

Working well! Thanks for the great work! My friends love this on our new server!

Hey guys, newbie in modding this game here, i tried to add these guns .etc into my game but i just cant get them to pop up, and for the life of me, cannot find how to change the ID's for them. Help would be Very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

 

Are you starting with a default install of the xmls or have you already added a mod?

 

To change the id just edit the bit in the <item id='##' name='XX'> bit. The only rule is the ID must be unique (within the items.xml)

 

Maybe post an example of what you have tried so far (use dropbox or similar and upload the items.xml, loot.xml and recipes.xml)

[StompyNZ]

Also make sure that you add the new code at the end of the items.xml etc but before the closing </items>

[HellHound]

Ugh ok figured it out, and now im embarrased, i had a space in the wrong place And the files were clean installed, thanks for pointing out the ID's, working now

[StompyNZ]

I forgot to add, don't use an ID above 2000 for items (2047 max I think) or it won't load to the game, and the same for blocks but the limit is 4095.

 

It's been a while since I checked but I don't think those limits have changed

[Valmar]

Thank you for helping him out with that, StompyNZ.

 

If you run into anymore problems or need help feel free to ask.

[HellHound]

Now that i played a couple of hours with your mod, i can say, LOVE IT Thanks Val

[tmitch554]

Maybe a stupid question, but do the silenced weapons have different sound properties to them? Meaning, do they draw less attention from the zombies?

[tmitch554]

Bumping.

[Valmar]

Hey Tmitch. Sorry I didn't notice you the first time.

 

 

Yes, they do. Hence why they're silencers.

[Myce]

Hi Valmar,

 

Might be just me but the steel_fireaxe makes no sound when i am hitting a tree.

I used the code provided by you.

[Valmar]

Thats odd. The sound for being hit is actually assigned to the tree, not the weapon. It works fine for me.

[ryeookin]

This sounds pretty interesting. A few quick questions.

1) Does this play nicely with v14.6?

2) About how many weapons/tools does it add to the game?

[Valmar]

1) Yes, Valmod Pack is even using them right now.

 

2) I don't know, I never counted. It adds silenced versions of the guns, choked versions of shotgun, a weed cleaver, a combat axe and iron bow/crossbow.

[xxx73]

Sorry for being a noob but this part of the install instruction made me feel unsure:

 

 

 

Loot.xml Changes:

Do NOT just add this to your loot xml. You have to find your commonWeaponParts and militaryguns+ammo group and edit them to include these lines:

 

 

 

<lootgroup name="commonWeaponParts">

<item name="partsBoltRifle_parts"/>

 

 

 

<lootgroup name="militaryWeaponParts">

<item name="gunSilencer"/>

<item name="gunScope"/>

<item name="gunChoke"/>

 

 

 

You can add the parts to other places too if you so desire.

 

Do I only add <item name="partsBoltRifle_parts"/> to commonWeaponParts, and

<item name="gunSilencer"/>, <item name="gunScope"/>, <item name="gunChoke"/> to militaryWeaponParts?

 

Also you say that we have to add the new weapons to the appropriate recipe books. is that the schematics/books that is in items.xml? Also can I just make new books for the new weapons in the items.xml or is that harder than it looks?

 

And what is the new weapons, all in items.xml or just the ones in recipies.xml?

 

I appreciate any help

[Valmar]

Correct. When I said "don't just add this" I meant don't just copy/paste the code into the bottom of the loot.xml. The bolded parts that you indicated go in the appropriate lootgroups that are already in the file, as you said.

 

As for adding the recipes to the schematics/books in the items.xml, yes. For example the pistol is taught by the pistolBook.

 

<item id="921" name="pistolBook">

<property name="Extends" value="schematicMaster" />

<property class="Action1">

<property name="Recipes_to_learn" value="gunPistol,gunPistolSilenced" />

<property name="Skills_to_gain" value="Gun Smithing" />

</property>

</item>

 

 

You can make new schematics for these items if you want to. Its not as easy but it isn't hard either.

 

<item id="XXXX" name="Pistol Silencer Schematic">

<property name="Extends" value="schematicMaster" />

<property name="CustomIcon" value="paper" />

<property name="CustomIconTint" value="1432DE" />

<property class="Action1">

<property name="Recipes_to_learn" value="gunPistolSilenced" />

<property name="Skills_to_gain" value="Gun Smithing" />

</property>

</item>

 

Use the above code as a template to make new schematic books. Make sure the ID you give it isn't already being used. I used "XXXX" in place of the numbers. The name can be anything you want. Just change the "recipes_to_learn" value into the item you want this book to unlock. You might want to remove the skills to gain property (or change it to another value) on recipes that aren't gun-related.

 

After that you would add the the new schematics to the loot.xml in the rareBooks or commonBooks lootgroups. You could add them somewhere else, of course, but this helps keeps things simple.

 

The only items you'd need ot make a schematic for are the items that have recipes in the recipes.xml. So you wouldn't have to make one for the gunSilencer item since it isn't something you can actually craft (it has no recipe). Make sense?

[lee_terry_jr]

I loved the weedcleaver idea but made a few changes in my game. 1st off I made its entity damage so low that no one would ever want to use it for that. Then I changed the repair item into small stone since it is basically a lawnmower and it makes more sense that way because you use a sharpening stone to sharpen the blade (was going to make an item called sharpening stone that is made out of small rocks and uses the icon of 1 of the quarter blocks that looks like a sharpening stone but I decided it was to much work lol). This would also explain the quality loss with the upgrade since you are grinding it down over time as well but I dont plan to make any other bladed weapon/item sharpen like this because it would be to op imo but for something thats only used to cut grass its perfect.

Ok I understand now. But I dont understand your examples. there is no recipe for gun pistol silence only item. And you say I only need to make new schematics for those that have recipes, and that is only gunBoltRifle, gunSniperRifleHPScope, ironCrossbow, ironBow, combatAxe and weedCleaver right?

 

Anyway, after doing all the things you said Im getting some errors. And even when when I just add the things from your first post I get errors. Any idea what this can be?

You're right. My bad. I didn't realize that I didn't actually include recipes for the guns. Which is fine I suppose since according to Stompy you dont need recipes for assembly. So they should still work.

 

Package up your config file and I'll take a loot at it for you to see where you went wrong.

Thanks again for your help, appreciate it.

 

I get the same error message when I use your expanded ammo types. Maybe it have been some changes in latest 7dtd updates that dont work with both this mods, but I will check some more, and I have checked more than one that what I have added is correct, maybe ID number. Will come back after more testing.

[xxx73]

wrong post sry

[Valmar]

Expanded ammo and the expanded weapons/tools definitely still work. I use them in my Valmod Overhaul and Valmod Expansion Pack. Even my Classic Horde Survival mod uses them to some extent.

 

Personally I recommend using the expansion pack instead of individual mods. It adds all my new features without changing the vanilla experience. Much easier to install since its just a drag and drop.

 

Anyway my offer stands - send me a zip file of your config folder and I'll find out the problem.
