A few questions about gta iv modding

[lolpingu]

Hey, so i have a few questions about modding gta iv EFLC, weaponinfo.xml to be specific.

First - is there any way to make your weapon's projectiles light people up? i don't mean shooting molotovs, i mean shooting incendiary ammo.

Second - how can i add another weapon to the game? for example, i wanna take the SCAR-H weapon mod from gtagarage and add it to the assault rifle category, add a sound to it and everything. how is it done?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I think the only way to get someone to light up when you shoot them can only be done by a script of sorts, say maybe an asi script.

 

To add a weapon, you need to add an 'Episodic' weapon to the weapons.xml file. The developers of GTA IV made this easy by leaving some weapons slots open (about 21 slots if I read correctly). But I'm not sure how you'd go about importing the model and sounds into the actual game, without replacing a weapon first.
