Mgg's Weapon.dat Rearrangement!

Hey everyone, Mysterdogg here!

It took me almost 6 years but I've finally finished this (not because of the difficulty, but because modding is just a hobby in my adulthood). What inicially started as a guide on how-to read and edit weapon data lines, ultimately turned into a whole new file. After a lot of trial and error I've fully documented and improved this file for any user that wants to better understand it. I highly recommend having this in their game as it really makes weapon data modding a lot easier, specially with hex flags. I still intend to update this file as some further testing is still required.

Consider this an unofficial patch for SA.

I've been adding new weapons in my GTA and this mod really helps me, thank you! :D

Glad to know it's being useful for you!
____________________________________

Just finished the first update, will be adding a detailed changelog in the OP together with the download link!

v1.1.0
-Fixed typing mistakes from previous version
-Documented more values
-Optimized more values
-Tweaked some values

25 Jul 2022, 02:18

This isn't a weapon mod, this is a script/code mod.

27 Jul 2022, 00:29

No worries, moved!

Don't wanted to waste this reply so I made another update and as usual, the detailed changelog and download link will be in the OP:

v1.2.0
-Documented some values
-Tweaked some values

Feels like this is going to be the last update, don't really want to change the feeling of the vanilla weapon system that much but I could always release some custom presets. There's also some values' descriptions and limits I still intend to improve so anything is possible. in the meantime, hope this file helps modders as I expect!

A detailed changelog is included in the OP and readme file. The changes I made are minimal for gameplay, it's a mod for developers.
