Adding a New Ammo

Hey guys!

Im using 1.51 Xenonauts with X:CE 0.34,

I´m doing a mod, my first try, im trying to add a new weapon with sounds, today finally sucess!

But for some dark reason, i cant add the ammo new .png lol i know must be something basic but i cant figger it out :

Ok so the ammo file is a .png, its 103x103, i think its all good here, the name is magnum_ammo (weapons/ballistic folder)

This is my AMMO file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<Ammos xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<Ammo name="ammo.ballistic.magnum">

<stockTextureName>weapons/ballistic/magnum_ammo</stockTextureName>

<dragTextureName>weapons/ballistic/magnum_ammo</dragTextureName>

<slotsizex>1</slotsizex>

<slotsizey>1</slotsizey>

<weight>1</weight>

</Ammo>

</Ammos>

Edited December 29, 2015 by gustavowizard

erm not sure If I have got the wrong end of the stick here, however it looks like you are creating your ammo entries in only the strings file and weapons files.

You would additionally have to define you ammo in the items.xml file and most importantly the ammo xml file where you will define what picture to use.

If this does not cover your question post back as I could answer your question more fully if I was in front of my pc.

nvm that i found the problem, as u can see thereis no MODMERGE 'insert' argument on the ammo so the game wont understand its a add

EDIT - FIXED
