Thanks man ill look into this

so perhaps theres a step i dont know of where you actually register that weapon_hands.txt as an entity
if so id love to find out how to do that!

also as a side note id love to find out how to create new npcs because i
have custom models and sounds for some of the default entities and so i've been working on a plugin that onEntitySpawned if its a certain npc class it's model gets replaced however in game the only class that seems to be getting its model updated is npc_combine_s and i have no idea what im missing or doing wrong, i think perhaps the hook gets called before the npc actually gets its model (even though npc_combine_s gets his damn model) idk for sure heres the code

PHP Code:

public OnEntityCreated(entity, const String:classname[])
{
    //PrintToServer("[SM] v%s: %d entity spawned.", PLUGIN_VERSION, classname);
    // decl String:playerSlotName[64];

    // {
    //     PrintToServer("[SM] Metropolice found at %s", classname);
    // }
    SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_Spawn, OnEntitySpawned);
}

public OnEntitySpawned(entity)
{
    decl String:cheese[128];
    GetEntityClassname( entity, cheese, sizeof( cheese ));
    if ( StrEqual( cheese, "npc_barney", false ))
    {
        PrintToServer("[SM] Barney found at %s", cheese);
        
        decl String:ModelName[256];
        GetEntPropString(entity, Prop_Data, "m_ModelName", ModelName, sizeof(ModelName));
        if (StrEqual(ModelName, "models/barney.mdl"))

        }
    }
    if ( StrEqual( cheese, "npc_combine_s", false ))
    {
        PrintToServer("[SM] %s Given New Model", cheese);
        // PrecacheModel("models/alyx.mdl");
        // SetEntityModel(entity, "models/alyx.mdl");
        
        decl String:ModelName[256];
        GetEntPropString(entity, Prop_Data, "m_ModelName", ModelName, sizeof(ModelName));
        if (StrEqual(ModelName, "models/combine_soldier.mdl"))
        {
            PrecacheModel("models/ChoclatePancake/combine_soldier.mdl");

        }
        if (StrEqual(ModelName, "models/combine_super_soldier.mdl"))
        {
            PrecacheModel("models/ChoclatePancake/combine_super_soldier.mdl");
            SetEntityModel(entity, "models/ChoclatePancake/combine_super_soldier.mdl");
        }
    }
    if ( StrEqual( cheese, "npc_metropolice", false ))
    {
        decl String:MpodelName[256];

        SetEntityModel(entity, "models/manhacker.mdl");
    }
    // Just incase those pesky metrocops slip past classname identification!
    new String:lamaname[128];

    }
    else if (StrEqual(lamaname, "models/police_ss.mdl"))
    {
        PrecacheModel("models/ChoclatePancake/police.mdl");
        SetEntityModel(entity, "models/ChoclatePancake/police.mdl");
    }
    
} 


so if that is the case than im thinking maybe id have to create a new entity like npc_manhacker instead of npc_manhack that gets spawned inplace of that npc_manhack but that might be too complicated for something that i feel like could be done simply

Alright so with the updated version of customguns i can actually get into my server for a second before it crashes (i havent gotten synergy's gamedata decompiled yet) but i think weapon_cubemap is supported because

The script files don't need to be sent to clients, they're just used on the server.

This doesn't register custom entities, which is not even possible currently.
You'll have to use the sm_customguns command to spawn new weapons. This is beacause it first creates the weapon_cubemap entity, then immediately sets the classname to the new weapon, tricking the game to load that weapon instead.

Try applying it without the model-name checking first. If that doesn't work try setting the modelIndex datamap property of the npc to the return value of the precache function (also put the precache in OnConfigsExecuted).
I've only used the method you're using on antlions, combines and scanners, but I was spawning them too, not hooking.

New update includes the ability to modify the wheel menu style and lets players pick whatever style they like.
Previous updates not posted here improved the stability and added more features (like static wheel menu and ordering)

If you were holding on installing, this might be the best time to do so

i have a problem, is not working on my server Hl2 DM

[Knock Knock]

The plugin works well, except for one issue I am unable to resolve.

Any custom gun always shows a ‘skull & crossbones’, instead of a weapon, when killing an opponent.
In addition, the crosshair is changed from my current default system set crosshair.

It appears that a custom gun does not use the ‘TextureData’ config, as used in default valve weapons, to change or display the preferred icons from a ‘character font’. Therefore it defaults to a font I cannot identify and does not have the ‘character gun’ or Choosable character icon.

Can you let me know if this can be resolved please?

In addition when on server, what would be the skill multiplier for a custom gun, often used for calculating points gained when a kill is done.?

[Alienmario]

This is server side modification only. Crosshair, icons, positions etc are all clientside. You may be able to do something by copying the weapon script to your client, although I haven't tried it.

[Knock Knock]

Many Thanks for your very prompt reply.

I appreciate your comments and have tried the possible suggested fix. Unfortunately it did not work.

I had made the assumption that your ‘scripts/myweapon.txt’ files were following the valve format where the “texturedata” field lets you specify the font, icons and crosshair for the weapon, which is reflected on the weapon when played.

Bit of an Ask, I know, but would it be possible to add the same feature to your plugin?.

On a side note, i cannot compile any of the existing Sp files supplied in the download, probably because I’m using later versions of sourcemod. Eg:-
“scripting\include\customguns\stocks.inc (329) : error 101: fixed dimensions must be after the array name, not on the type”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*update -- Found that the "Weapon_cubemap.txt" is where the models inherit there icons and crosshairs from. So now i'm ok with the crosshair. The icons may be a bit more of an issue, if there is more than one custom weapon.

Any way to set shotgun spread? Or is that a plugin thing?
