Weapon Caliber Types

Inteck

First time out of the vault
Quick question, what file contains the information on the different caliber types in the game. I am Not talking about different ammo types, but rather the caliber of the weapons themselves. I would very much like to add to it, but I don't know where they are at. I am using F2wedit_v1.3.0.3, but it draws on the "set" caliber types which are already there in a rather Unknown file....and I would like to add to the file list. Thanks in advance.
 
Caliber types are in "proto.msg" file.
While using F2wedit, use "Options -> Edit proto.msg" and there the "proto.msg" file will open.
Go to section "Caliber Types for Weapons" and there are lines with Caliber Types:

Code:
#
# Caliber Types for weapons
#
{300}{}{None}
{301}{}{Rocket}
{302}{}{Flamethrower Fuel}
{303}{}{C Energy Cell}
{304}{}{D Energy Cell}
{305}{}{.223}
{306}{}{5mm}
{307}{}{25mm}
{308}{}{10mm}
{309}{}{.44 cal}
{310}{}{14mm}
{311}{}{12-gauge}
{312}{}{9mm}
{313}{}{BB}
{314}{}{.45 cal}
{315}{}{2mm}
{316}{}{4.7mm caseless}
{317}{}{HN needler}
{318}{}{7.62mm}

You can change existing names or add your new Caliber Type as next line in this section, i.e.

Code:
#
# Caliber Types for weapons
#
{300}{}{None}
{301}{}{Rocket}
{302}{}{Flamethrower Fuel}
{303}{}{C Energy Cell}
{304}{}{D Energy Cell}
{305}{}{.223}
{306}{}{5mm}
{307}{}{25mm}
{308}{}{10mm}
{309}{}{.44 cal}
{310}{}{14mm}
{311}{}{12-gauge}
{312}{}{9mm}
{313}{}{BB}
{314}{}{.45 cal}
{315}{}{2mm}
{316}{}{4.7mm caseless}
{317}{}{HN needler}
{318}{}{7.62mm}
{319}{}{5.56mm}

Then click button "OK - ..." and you will have new caliber types in F2wedit to use :)

btw. thanks for using my tool ;)
 
Thanks for the info on that Cubik2k. I didn't go far enough into it I guess. There is one or two things that are bothering me though. There are a few perks that no one seems to know EXACTLY what they are, these are mainly weapon related:

Weapon Long Range; My Guess:+20% chance to hit with weapon

Weapon Accurate; My guess +40% chance to hit with weapon

Weapon Penetrate; Ignores armor completely or partially???

Weapon Knockback; No help needed Self explanatory

Weapon Scope Range; I need help with this one, what is the bonus??

Weapon Fast Reload; used on speedloader for what bonus??

Weapon Night Sight; Need help with this one. Quick easy guess is something like Nightsite perk

Weapon Flameboy; Not sure on this one....Does it make it easier to hit or does it do extra damage or both??

Weapon Enhanced Knockout Probably uses in the "boxing" gloves, once again though what is the bonus??

Thanks in advance
 
Weapon Long Range; I believe this just adjusts how much each tile placed between you and your target affects your chance to hit.

Weapon Accurate; This does something to adjust the targets AC to make them easier to hit or something.

Weapon Penetrate; Ignores armor partially, I believe. I don't know how it's different from Weapon Accurate.

Weapon Knockback; Pretty obvious.

Weapon Scope Range; I just attach this to the sniper rifle. I think it adjusts the rate at which distance affects your shot percentage, tilting things heavily in your favor, much like Long Range and/or Accurate. Just to heavier degree.

Weapon Fast Reload; Reduces the AP for reload from 2 to 1.

Weapon Night Sight; This comes attached to the FN FAL with Nightvision scope and just treats nighttime the same as daytime in regard to how likely you are to hit something.

Weapon Flameboy; Required for the Improved Flamethrower Fuel to be used. Comes attached to the Upgraded Flamer by default.

Weapon Enhanced Knockout; Just makes it more likely you'll score a knockout with a melee attack.

Hope that helped a bit. These are my understandings of the weapon perks, and I don't really know where to get more info about the workings of F2wedit.
