STMagazines Rewrite

A proof of concept for a simple mag system.

//


DO NOT PACK THIS BASE WITH YOUR WEAPON. I WILL BE UPDATING THIS FREQUENTLY. PLEASE ADD IT AS REQUIRED INSTEAD!

Throneco's rolling out the big guns today, releasing the alpha version of our very own weapon base!

The STMagazines Base is a simple weapon base that, instead of using a mass reserve of ammo in an infinite amount of mags, uses a set amount of mags with a pre-defined ammo type. This means that if you fire 8 rounds out of a 20-round mag, you will eventually load an 11-round mag regardless (chambering implemented!)

This base is pretty easy to convert, just a quick switch from the M9K or TFA base to "st_mags_base" and a few other modifications should render a perfectly usable weapon!

These few modifications are:
SWEP.Scoped - If true, zooms in your screen instead of iron-sighting.
SWEP.Sniper - If true, zooms in twice instead of iron-sighting.
SWEP.Zoom - Set to 0 if one of the above is set to true.
SWEP.Revolver - If true, the mag is completely emptied before reloading, because you typically don't catch falling rounds.
SWEP.Primary.DeploySound - Custom sound path that plays when the weapon is deployed.
SWEP.Primary.ReloadSound - Custom sound path that plays when the weapon is reloaded.
Shotguns are not supported.

When converting, make sure to use one of the following SWEP.Primary.Ammo types or make your own. These can be found here[pastebin.com].

With the rewrite, there are two new functions to make this base more user friendly. Player:GiveMagazines( type, number=1 ) and RegisterNewMagazine( type, bullets ).
These are not implemented in any way by default, if you wanna create an entity or script using these, go ahead.

There are bound to be many errors with this base, as it is in alpha. Please report any and all bugs or errors in the comments.

Known "issues":
There's no recoil, and accuracy sucks.

Future plans:
Add shotgun support.
Add a scope texture.
Add a custom scope sound.
