TTT converting addon/swep

[A_Jiggly_Kid]

I followed the "custom weapons" tutorial from the TTT website so please don't give me that link. I don't need help with the lua coding it I THINK. My confusion with converting addons and sweps is i don't understand where i put the materials, sounds, and models.

I don't work with addons typically but you setup a directory inside of the addon like this:

addons/addonname/content/ - and then all the content goes here.
addons/addonname/lua - for lua and what not obviously.

So would sweps be the same? I want the players be able to purchase it during the game

[jrj996]

If you're adding it to the gamemode itself it should be something like this

gamemode/ttt/entities - this is where the swep code goes
gamemode/ttt/content - this is where you place your new models/materials/sounds.

As for adding weapons to the gamemode I can't help you there, I've never worked with TTT.

Ok well i'll try that again

i got the coding part, i was confused on where to put the contents of the addon/swep like sounds and particles. last time i checked i don't think it says where to put that stuff. I was tried some different ways and i couldn't get it to come up in the traitor menu so i came here for help. so far no luck

It's all on that webpage I posted:

SWEP.EquipMenuData = {
   type = "Weapon",
   desc = "Example custom weapon."
};
SWEP.CanBuy = { ROLE_TRAITOR }
SWEP.Icon = "VGUI/ttt/icon_myserver_ak47"

I KNOW i already have that, but it's not working. I was wondering if it was because it had a bunch of other stuff that terrortown folder didn't have. Like particles and sounds do i just throw it in the content folder??

Still doesn't work, i'm pretty sure you don't put it in the addon folder. I'm trying to convert a swep into a custom weapon that you can buy as a traitor. I put the materials, models, and sound in the srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/materials...
srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/models...
srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/sound...
folder and the shared.lua in the
srcds/orangebox/garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons/weapon_ttt_custom

is there anything i'm missing or that i'm putting them in the wrong spot

[jrj996]

Did I not say

Gamemodes/TTT/content?

If you need one custom weapon to be fixed just post your shared.lua I can't help you if I don't see any code. Also, don't use garrysmod/ as a base folder for materials, models and sounds it'll become cluttered. Unless you are using a Fast-DL which requires you to place then in the base garrysmod/ folder. Aside from that post your shared.lua.

I've been going back and forth from 2 forums about this so i'm trying different things. I tried the gamemodes/ttt/content and put the materials/models/sound in there but it didn't work for me. Unless i did it wrong which is a possibility, i'll try it again.
