Error in compiling a weapon

[D3cay]

I am fairly familiar with making weapon/mutators in UT2004 and I wanted to make a weapon for my clan in UT3. I have edited all the files needed for the weapon but when I try to compile I get these errors.

c:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Development\Src\ARC_Zark\Classes\UTAmmo_ARC
zark.uc(12) : Error, BEGIN OBJECT: The component name PickupLightEnvironment is
already used (if you want to override the component, don't specify a class):

I cant seem to figure out how to get around this, any help would be great.

You shouldn't include the Class= part of the Begin Object declaration if you are overriding an object defined in a superclass.

Yeah, but there a few things I didnt like about it for my needs.

[SwaTz0rs]

well tell me what u don't like ... my version is still veryvery beta.... needs lots of improvement

Oh its not that I dont like it, its just we are used to more ammo, and less damage. I tried compiling my own, and when I do weapon replacement no weapon shows up, I just walk around with my arms out. I also tried decompiling yours and changed ammo/damage, and when I recompiled I still get nothing but my arms out. Its kinda getting frustrating

[SwaTz0rs]

that sounds like u deleted the whole mesh classes..

c:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Development\Src\ARC_Zark\Classes\UTWeap_ARC
zark.uc(521) : Error, BEGIN OBJECT: The component name FirstPersonMesh is alread
y used (if you want to override the component, don't specify a class): Begin
Object Class=UTSkeletalMeshComponent Name=FirstPersonMesh ObjName=FirstPersonMes
h Archetype=UTSkeletalMeshComponent'UTGame.Default__ UTWeapon:FirstPersonMesh'

that means that u have to go to line 521 and delete the 'class=' from Object Class=UTSkeletal....

[D3cay]

Oh thanks, I was deleting Class=UTSkeletalMeshComponent instead of just class=. Now when I just delete class= there is a different error on the object UTAnimNodeSequence. If I dont have class error there, it gives me an unknown class error saying I need to have a class=. If I add class= it says

c:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Development\Src\ARC_Zark\Classes\UTAttachme
nt_ARCzark.uc(59) : Error, BEGIN OBJECT: name MeshSequenceA redefined: Begin

I tried just commenting this out but when I do I still get that running around without a weapon stuff.

this is just the utattachment file... the file which is causing the problem (hands only) is the actual weapon file.. Post your defaultproperties

change the part after bInstantHit=true of your utweap file defproperties to this

      Begin Object UTSkeletalMeshComponent Name=FirstPersonMesh ObjName=FirstPersonMesh Archetype=UTSkeletalMeshComponent'UTGame.Default__UTWeapon:FirstPersonMesh'
      FOV=65.000000
      SkeletalMesh=SkeletalMesh'WP_SniperRifle.Mesh.SK_WP_SniperRifle_1P'
     Begin Object Class=AnimNodeSequence Name=MeshSequenceA ObjName=MeshSequenceA Archetype=AnimNodeSequence'Engine.Default__AnimNodeSequence'
         Name="MeshSequenceA"
         ObjectArchetype=AnimNodeSequence'Engine.Default__AnimNodeSequence'
      End Object
      /*Animations=AnimNodeSequence'UTGame.Default__UTWeap_SniperRifle:MeshSequenceA'
      AnimSets(0)=AnimSet'WP_SniperRifle.Anims.K_WP_SniperRifle_1P_Base'
      bForceUpdateAttachmentsInTick=True
      Scale=1.500000
      ObjectArchetype=UTSkeletalMeshComponent'UTGame.Default__UTWeapon:FirstPersonMesh'*/
   End Object

this will enable the weapon model and disable the reload animation as it looks stupid when u reload your weapon 3 times/ second

to disable the arms animation just comment this line

ArmsAnimSet=AnimSet'WP_SniperRifle.Anims.K_WP_SniperRifle_1P_Arms'

do u actually changed anything in your utattachment file? if not just tell your zark rifle to use the snipers one
