Questions about adding new weapons

[xuchixuchi]

I notice that most weapon mods are actually modifying the old weapons rather than adding entirely new ones. I wonder what should I do if I want to make a new weapon. Do I only need to add a new pro file or there's something more to it?

P.S: I've already got the sound and pic file ready

Yes, you need to add new pro file, and insert new item in map, or via script. To make new pro file I recommend use f2wedit.

Thanks. But it seems that f2wdit can only open the pro files in the master.dat or create a totally new one. Can I make it open a pro file outside or do I have to import it into the master.dat in order to edit it? Since the item pro files outside take priority than the ones inside, I don't suppose I need to import all the new files into the master.dat in order to make this work.
