Hey Guys,

Months ago, I stumbled accross the awesome work from EAImedia. His Weapons are really nice and also a good alternation to the stock weaponry.
EAI's weapons seem to work very good in gameguru but sadly I can't say this for the ammo that comes with it.
Maybe some of you did solve this already but I want to ask:

How do I make the ammo work in gameguru? When I place it in the level, the character picks it up, but no ammo will be added to the inventory.
How to fix that? I am sure it requires just some minor FPE changes... I tried it many times but couldn't get it to work yet...

There is also another thing I want to learn, and that is assigning EAI's weapons to enemies. I know this has been done bevore. Redacted: Hired Gun did have enemies with EAI weapons for example.

I know this is quite a request, but I would be glad If someone could give me a helping hand here...
It is crucial for my project I am working on.

he model need to be named the same as the ammo type it uses, so if it is a shotgun type ammunition you need to name it the same as the default shotgun ammo, then when you place it you just add the ammo script to it.

oh it's that simple ?? Okay, Will check right away.

You mean like that? If yes, it does not work....

What did I do wrong?

No. It needs to be named for the ammo type, ie:

The default shotgun ones are named:

12 Gauge Shotgun (shotgun)
.38 Cartridges (Pistol)
7.62mm NATO (Rifle)
etc.

So if you had a different type of shotgun ammo called for example "Bob Ammo" it would be named

Bob Ammo (Shotgun)

Then you would have to change the script in properties to ammo.lua

You would also need to change the .fpe file to the weapon it's for, for the colt1911 it would be:

hasweapon = modern\colt1911

So if you had your weapons in a folder in the gamecore/guns called myguns and the weapon was called g22 then it would be :

hasweapon = myguns\g22

Will check it out and change the values. Thanks so far, belidos !

Okay so now there is a solution to this:
Thanks to GraPhix for figuring this out for me. He spent like an hour for this.. Kudos to you !

Make the ammo work:

edit the gunspec.txt of the desired weapon and add this line: poolammo = G22

and change any ref to fpi to lua in the fpe files. (ammo & weapon)

After that I figured out how to add the sounds. This is simply a line in the FPE file as well.
Just add:

soundset = audiobank\misc\ammo.wav

That should work

Hope this is useful for other people as well.

That's another way to do it. My way should have worked too. Obviously I didn't know you hadn't already changed the fpi to fpe or that you were using a non-default gun for it or I would have said to do that too

you are welcome
