I don't know. The weapon system is the same as HL, thus hardcoded as hell. I don't think you can, but I've posted so people could test and finding better method. Will try something to make sure.

No, sadly. I've tried and it doesn't work. I've also check the client dll, and it checks the keywords listed in the tuto only. Others will be ignored.

Edit. Is it possible to change crosshair ?
I mean I passed it in .txt file and precached the sprite.But the original CS crosshair appeared. I was trying to hide crosshair with HideWeapon event but I failed.

Edit2. Maybe you explain what each parameter does? Especially, someone maybe confused with flags parameter(since you can add some flags to the weapon).
Playing with the position could make the trick, but I've noticed also it doesn't work well if you modify the position. The whole thing sounds tricky for some weapon. Keep up testing.

About crosshair, it seems the keyword "crosshair" is a second crosshair you can added and not replacing the original.

Will explain the parameters another time. Thanks.
