I dont know. It was in one of the public tests, but crafting didn't add it for some reason or another. I love the electroshock as well, used it all the time in old aw2.

As far as I know, when Crafting removes a weapon, it's because : one attribute broke, too op, useless OR because "ShowSyncHudText" from my attributes override each other :D

You should probably fix that. You can move the text, or check if multiple attributes that draw to the screen are on the same weapon, if there is more than one, draw hud text above it, my guess would be +10 pixels up, maybe +20.

I wonder, Which was the hardest custom weapon to balance out.

I wouldn't know that, crafting would. My guess is the L.A.W. I saw a few comments saying it's balanced! It was the op weapon everyone used at the start, but how often do you see it now?

I know this Q and A is probably closed, and I am asking about something that will be deleted, but before you delete it, just take it into suggestion. Is there gonna be the Heavy's Electro-thingy-Majigger? because that thing was awesome.

Ok, i got 3 big questions that i got on my mind regarding AW:
1. You planning on importing more AW weapons to this mod in the future?

2. If so, is there a selected process for adding them considering that there has been Weapons of the Day, Weapons of the Month, and Removed Weapons too along with the Offical AW ones?

3. And regarding all that, Are you adding new AW weapons that have never appeared prior to any of these catergorie or the actual AW mod(s)? (yes, i know there's 2 versions of the mod)

Some examples that i can give you to better uderstand the last question are The Sufficent Factory, The Danger Ranger, and The Drunk Grail; These weapons never appeared in any AW mod that i know of, or the AW and TF2 wiki for that matter (yes, there's a AW wiki)

Thank you for taking the time to read/answer my questions
And stay awesome! :D

1. Yes. Once me and Orion port more attributes, more weapons will be added.

2. You would have to ask crafting that, the Electroshock (think that's the name) was in a public test, but didn't make the final cut for some reason.

3. That's one of the reasons I released my attribute plugin, to see what kind of crazy weapon ideas people could come up with! I don't even know what weapons we'll see in the future, unless I randomly join craftings test server and notice new weapons.

It's no problem!
You stay awesome, too! :)

Just a heads-up, I'm currently in server #2!

We can't change base tf2 attributes. What we can do is emulate what we need/can, and do what we need to. I didn't do the faster swing rate as you get more heads, that was Orion. If I'm wrong Orion, please correct me!

It's not based on heads but on kills, meh, I guess it's basically the same, also what the fuck is going on with the jokes ? xD

Medic: I HAVE NO IDEA!

yeah but, is it possible to copy the code ? and change some thing in it ?

On a real fast break, only have time to answer this.

We don't have the code for base tf2 attributes. Tf2 is closed source and runs on a different programming language than our attribute plugins do. Our 'attributes' are actually just a toggle that get triggered by the main custom weapons plugin, if we wanted to, we could turn the AW2 attribute plugins into something triggered only by commands. It never touches the base games attribute code, as that is hidden behind compiled and obfuscated code, which is code no human can read, and, even if decompiled, will still be unreadable. If someone manages to decompile AND deobfuscate the games, VAC would trigger, as it would detect the base game as being modified. Sourcemod uses Source Engine's plugin system to get around VAC, and Valve has put Sourcemod on the white list for VAC. We modify damage and whatnot by catching it before the final result is sent to the player.

Tl;dr: It's not possible to modify base tf2 attributes, and our attributes aren't seen as attributes to the base game.

Ok, I have to go back to work for now! I will be playing on server 1 and 2 when I get home around 7:00 P.M. (it's 2:30 P.M. right now). Feel free to join and ask me questions there! Please use text chat for questions, as I'll be answering with voice and communicating with friends with steam chat.
