Well, there's not much you can do to help me, but keep reading.. I got the HMT 3.0, which gave me joy, since I found that I couldn't change as much using just a hex editor. Actually, I havn't learned how to swap projectiles etc using HMT yet... Someone tell me?
Anyway, I made a SMG type thing out of the pistol just by editing weapon properties (had success), but then I tried to make the shotgun a cannon (no success). I wayy cut down on ammo and clip levels, altered reload times, etc. I then used my hex editor to (hopefully) put the scorpian shell ID in the shotgun pellet projectile's offset. I also tried to give the shotgun a scope, but when I rebuilt the map and attempted to load it, it crashed my game. So I slowly removed features from my shot-cannon.. no workie. I think it had something to do with ammo numbers... My SMG thingie worked... the crashing started when I tried the shot-cannon.
So, I was just wondering if any knowledgable person could toss out a few anti-crash tips when editing weaps. Thanks!
