Help with "First! Weapon editor by Karaffka"

[Kreiger]

So lets say I made my weapon mod, I saved it, but how do I use it on soldat? I know this question has been asked many times, but I need to know.

[Will]

first off , go to your soldat directory.(usually c:\Soldat or where did you put it) Then locate and backup your weapons.ini file(if you don't see the file extensions , it will be the file with a notepad and a yellow gear on it) . Then put your modded weapons.ini file that you made with the weapon editor into your soldat directory and voila.

This isn't an issue with FWE. It's an issue with you not knowing how to load weapon mods.

Type /loadwep xxx while in-game to load the weapon settings from xxx.ini.

Go with xtishibrbn's advice, and not Will's. His is better and safer.

and remember that you can't use your weapon mods on other people's servers unless you are an admin

I just don't find loadwep command to useful because if I want  to play my or someone elses weaponsmod I wouldn't want to type taht everytime when I'm starting palying. Especially for testing and tweaking the WM

[Kreiger]

I tried both ways, and they dont work. Help?

[xtishereb]

Did you type /loadwep xxx or /loadwep xxx.ini? The second way won't work, it'll try to load the weapon settings from xxx.ini.ini or something like that.
Also, make sure it's /loadwep [sic] and not /loadweap. That gave me some problems when I first tried it.

Typing /loadwep is a lot easier than having to replace weapons.ini every time you want to switch weapon mods. Plus, you can re-load weapon mods after tweaking them while Soldat is running.

[Mistercharles]

Weapon mods sometimes don't like to work if the same starts with a number, or some punctuation anywhere. Just use letters and underscores, maybe with some numbers on the end of the title. Those will always work.

Also, keep in mind that all values in the .ini have to be integers.

Make sure to use save as with FWE, otherwise it overwrites your default weapons.ini, which may be your problem.

If you saved the file as

lol.ini

then you'd load it in Soldat with

/loadwep lol

[Krillious]

guys I think he thinks that he can use his weapon mods online on other's servers :s

[Kreiger]

Not at all.

I think you saved the file as "<mod>.ini" without selecting file type "All files" in the save window, so, the file is now "<mod>.ini.txt".
You have to save a file by selecting "All files" at the file type, then you have to write "<mod>.ini".
+ I would recommend using notepad for WMods

EDIT:
Also you might enter "/loadwep <modfilename>" by pressing T key or whatever key you have set as chat. Use the Console key [/] then write "loadwep <modfilename>".

FWE saves as .inis by default.
