Is here any way to change weapon "skin" to another from any mod / addon?

[sakulmore]

Hello, yesterday i was try change PUNG (boxing arms) to another from addon Empathy.

 

For everyone, which don't know what is this addon about:

Through this addon you can play as any monster you want (i think it's added some special monsters, which is not added to a game)

 

This addon has special monster hands, which i think it's not in original game (in game without this addon).

 

What i want:

I want to extract one hand from that addon, and add it to normal game. To be working without this addon. I'm tried do this via this video: 

 

 

But doesn't work for me. I don't know, where i'm doing mistake. The game hasn't crash, but the weapon, which i'm replacing them with this new arms, won't load. So, if i in the game switch to that weapon, it's like i don't have that weapon.

 

Any help, how can i can use any weapon skin from other addons / mods, and replace it in normal game?

With this method you can only replace existing sprites, so if you want ( I guess) replace the fists sprites, you need to find the names of those, you cannot create a new weapon type this way.
This being said, if you already did everything right, I ask you if you have modified the sprites offsets correctly

Thanks for reply :) .

 

Yes, i wanted only replace sprites. Not create new weapons. But i have already done it. I created .wad file, where i put that sprite, then i created DEHACKED file, where i put .deh file from WHackEd4. In WHackEd4 i have edited string PUNG to specifically name (in my case RRDY), then i have saved it as .def file and put it in the DEHACKED file in Slade program.

 

Now i want ask.. Is here any way to edit bullets (not projectiles like rocket, cacodemon fireball etc...) damage via WHacked4?

Ok ok, but it still doesn't show the new fists correctly?

Unfortunately I'm not an expert in DEHACKED, at all, but I'm quite sure that you cannot change the bullet damage via dehacked, you're gonna need a DECORATE

I don't know how can i describe this.

 

It's working... but... if image has "format" Doom (not PNG), then not working. I'm tried replace sprites with another addon (immoral conduct (i think that is named like this)) and this addon has Doom format of images (not PNG). I have tried to replace it and not working. So i think, it's working only PNG images. I'm tried convert to PNG file, but still doesn't work.

Okay thanks. But i must learn about coding for doom 2 :D :D. I think it's a little bit easier then programming for example PHP or anything similar.

Yeah, that's for sure x) Especially because there is a well made wiki that you can study and take examples from very easily.
And about that, here's the DECORATE tutorial if you're interested (useful to create new actors or even modify the existent ones)

 

EDIT: I'd suggest you to change this post title in something like "DEHACKED Custom weapons sprites issue", to get more attention from who knows Dehacked better
