Item/Weapon Swapping

ok so i made this really sick Sentinel Beam gun, and i want to add it into Headlong (because it is not there by default)

Id like to swap the Sentinel Beam with the active cammo (it's pretty much useless now because i made the map rather dark), but i don't know how...

i opened Headlong in Dothalo, went to the hlmt tag, found powerups_active_cammo, went to dependies, and changed the active cammo with the sentinel_gun...

but when i resign and ftp, i just get sent to the black screen, can anyone tell me why, and how to fix it?

What you do is go to the itmc tag and find the active camo then swap it for the sentinal beam. That should make it spawn instead of the active camo.

iv tried that too...the Sentinel Beam doesn't show up under my list of items to swap it with...just grenades and all the ammo pickups through out the map

what you need to do is goto the itmc tag, goto the active camo one, and swap it to the weap tag class then sentinel beam.

im trying to figure out what you mean by "active cammo one"? I did try and switch to weap tag class like you said, but i still only get ammo to swap with

This is a mass of confusion so I'll try to make myself clear. You need to goto the itmc tag, then "power_up_invisablitiy" or however you spell it, then goto idents, right click on the one and only ident, swap the thing that says "equip" to weap then your sentinel beam is under there.
