How do I overwrite a current weapon with rebuild?

Post by xptoast »

Maybe you guys can help me out on this. I took a battle rifle and yes its in the downloads already but didn't realize that when you use rebuild it builds in everything except for the extra chunks and the extra chunks information. I duped the weapon and made an info file and then tried building it into a different map and it built it in that map with the extra chunks. It seems that it wont add chunks to a currently existing weapon in the map but will only change properties of that weapon and w/e else is in the weapon like different projectiles etc. I would love to know how to make it overwrite the original battle rifle with the new battle rifle that has added chunks.

rename the exsiting btlerifle but make sure it has the same amount of letters as the old one or the names on the tags wil fuckup and it makes it very confusing

I know I have seen this somewhere but how do you actually rename the battle rifle? Why cant I just overwrite the battle rifle correctly?
