Having trouble changing fire rates.

(MenDAKE) #1

I’m attempting to change the fire rate for the Thompson and MP40, but I haven’t been succcessful so far. Nothing seems to happen when I do the following:

  1. Open bg_misc.c

  2. FInd ammotable_t ammoTableMP[WP_NUM_WEAPONS] = {

  3. Change the “NEXT SHOT” from 150 to 50 for both MOD_MP40 AND MOD_THOMPSON.

According to the source documentation “nextShotTime” does the following:

“when firing continuously, this is the time between shots”

So as far as I can tell changing from 150 to 50 should make the SMGs fire three times faster, but I see no difference. What am I doing wrong?

Just to be sure I’m compiling my mod correctly I tried changing the class load outs in the source and that seemed to work fine. So I am doing the compiling and mod loading correctly. I must just be misunderstanding how to change the rate of fire. Can anyone help?

Just to make sure…the compile was successful without errors? And definitely you edited the correct line for the weapons?

No compile errors and I changed the line that has “MOD_THOMPSON” at the end. That seemed like the correct one, am I right?

By the way I’m compiling for Windows using Visual Studio .NET 2005 and the latest 2.60 SDK.

Also make sure that you try it out with an updated client and server binary… The bg_ files are common for both client and server. This might cause problems when only the server or the client uses modified values.

I had a problem before with only windows builds when I tested out and ran as a server. Make sure you check that your mod is loaded (goto server info, gamename and check that it’s right mod). That could be the problem.

If you just use /devmap and place the builds in etmain, it should be fine on the client side to test it…but I can’t guarantee that.
