I will update this guide during weekend with examples, and propably upload file related to it into own CDC upload small modification that shows how I have added new weapon.
IF you read my RF_SDI project description you will note that this won't be only guide I will be writing and putting online (sigh I wish I still got own domain running).
Okay here is my brief guide howto add entirely new weapon into RF and not just replace old models 
Files we use here are "weapons.tbl"; "pc_multi.tbl"; "fpgun.tbl" "items.tbl" "strings.tbl"
Note that 3 first files are vital and game will crash if there are messed at all.
First thing we do is that we duplicate entry we want (in this guide I have used riot stick as sample) in weapons.tbl
However there are few things that must be taken to note.
1) No duplicate pref and/or cycle positions. First free is 15
2) $1st Person Mesh: "fp_riot.vcm"<- MUST be same as is in fpgun.tbl
Then we add new actual player weapon in PC_multi.tbl
we use Riot stick as samle so we duplicate line
+Custom Fpgun: "Riot Stick"(same as in weapons.tbl) "riot_stick_normal"(in fpgun.tbl)
Note that you must name each weapon entry individually, and that "riot_stick_normal" refers to normal set in fpgun.tbl
Another note is that PC_multi.tbl also defines player model and animation type. DO NOT TOUCH THOSE unless you know what you are doing.
Okay now to last important file the fpgun.tbl
What you see in top of page is
// ----------------------------
// Normal Set
// ----------------------------
this mean normal set (parker look in multi)
ALL entries here must be individually named, or game will either crash or behave in undesired manner.
$Name: "riot_stick_normal" (refered from PC_multi.tbl)
$Model: "fp_riot.v3c" (MUST be same as is $1st Person Mesh: in weapons.tbl) or game will crash.
$Hand Texture: "hand1st.tga"
$Forearm Texture: "envirohand.tga"
$Bicep Texture: "armnew1.tga"
Files that also are needed are items.tbl and strings.tbl but you should be able to figure how those work, as those are only refered from other files. (Xstr means string number defined with xxx)
I don't gurantee that here is not typos or other mistakes, so if you find anything you want to question, please PM me instead than replying so topic stays clean from un needed spam.
PS. if this guide is any good, please make it sticky. |

dang I hoped that this topic would stay nice and clean, and only I would update it by editing, but effort has been vain so far, sigh.
Actually this could have been done A lot earlier if someone would have wanted to see the trouble to figure out how weapons are defined. But I quess everyone was too lazy to do that since after all information I revealed here was not is not any of cryptic message or was it ?
SO PLEASE CLOSE THIS TOPCI NOW !
Edit PS: I hope that nobody says after this that I just babble nonsense  |

And it would be even better if here would be possibility to upload example files related to that tutorial.
And grim please if you know easier/faster way to add weapons please PM details for me and tell, is that also sure that if done right, it will work for sure ? |

FurThor... you are a genius. (Or all of us here are retards)
Not only can you do this with weapons, but characters! vehicles! and possibly more!
Imagine a set of 35 weapons in RF 
Like i said, RF is getting closer and closer to freedom!

if only the tuteral section had been out four months ago. and had got the bug worked out, and had i decided not to keep this litle secret to my self.i might have poste this exact same topic.... then again wasn't redfrog the first persion to release a mod with one new weapon? eko had 16 weapons.
also there was the answer mod which gives you two extra multi player characters (i should know that mod is the base for my mod only for the higher res texters though)
to: FuryThor it works just if you want your new weapon to show up in multi player you must make a mape with your new weapon in it. |

Yeah I know that to appear, but I don't know the exact reason for that as error just refers to fpgun.tbl and says there is too many weapons... check for duplicate names etc.
Also I suggest that you look my multiple remote charges mod for sample, it has worked that out.
And for darth joker, this information is known before me but it has been forgotten as old modders have stopped creating mods for RF.
However I brought that to knowledge after testing and seeing it to work online (my multiple remote charges mod). |

With the help of REDFROG, i got the weapon working, but it then crashes multiplayer... Any ideas?
I had to get rid of both pc_multi.tbl and fpgun.tbl for it to load RF, but now it crahses in multi? |
