customguns-hl2dm

Sourcemod plugin that adds custom weapons to Half life 2: Deathmatch

Requirements

Getting started

Each custom weapon consists of:

Weapon script
Models & materials & other content like sounds (But you can use stock game content)
Controlling plugin (Optional for more advanced weapons)

Weapon scripts are based on Valve's weapon script files. It is recommended that you understand how all this works first. This plugin will read these files and look for a "CustomGunsPluginData" block that defines the custom weapon's properties and behavior. The properties read are mostly self explainatory and documented within the scripts of included examples.
It's also possible to code weapons in their seperate plugins with the use of provided natives; however, script files are required for all weapons.

Original fields used (for authoring custom weapons)

"viewmodel"
"playermodel"
"anim_prefix"
"primary_ammo"
"secondary_ammo"
"clip_size"
"default_clip"
"clip2_size"
"default_clip2"
"autoswitchto"
"autoswitchfrom"
rumble
SoundData { ... }

Installing the plugin

Copy configs, gamedata and plugins folders into hl2mp/addons/sourcemod

Weapon types & Examples

Check out the Bubbleblower example weapon for custom scripted weapons (also the natives).
Check out the Molotov example weapon for throwable weapons.
Check out the OICW example weapon for bullet firing weapons.
There is also the default "Hands" weapon example that can help accessing other weapons.

Installing weapons

Using the custom folder is the preferred way of organizing, although dropping the weapon content under hl2mp can work as well and offers better compatibility with FastDL systems and such.

hl2mp
└───custom
    └───Custom_Weapons
        ├───materials
        ├───models
        ├───scripts
        │   │───unused
        │   │───weapon_sampleblaster420.txt
        │   │───game_sounds_manifest.txt
        │   └───game_sounds_weapons_custom.txt
        └───sound

Weapon scripts (the txt files) go in the scripts folder. You can also easily disable weapons by moving them to the scripts/unused folder. game_sounds_manifest.txt and game_sounds_weapons_custom.txt both go in the scripts folder. The latter file is where additional weapon sounds are added.

Other content (models, sounds and materials) goes in its respective directory.

If the weapon has its own plugin, like the bubbleblower example, copy it into sourcemod's plugins folder.

Once in-game, hold the reload button or bind +attack3 to activate the weapon switcher. Use the command sm_customguns to list and spawn weapons.

Convars & Commands

customguns_default | The preferred custom weapon that players should spawn with (weapon_hands by default)
