FAQ & Troubleshooting
FAQ

  • Does the Pipe Shotgun replace any weapon?
    No, it is a brand new weapon. It does however replace a few melee weapon spawns on each map.

  • Does the Pipe Shotgun work in single player?
    Yes

  • Does the Pipe Shotgun work in multiplayer?
    Yes, but every player and, if using one, the server, needs to have the add-on as sell as the Custom Weapon Base installed. If hosting a lobby Local Hosting needs to be selected.

  • Does the Pipe Shotgun work on custom campaigns?
    No, unless noted otherwise in the campaign. The Pipe Shotgun would have to be added to each individual campaign along with a control script in order to work.

  • Where can I find the weapon?
    Anywhere melee weapons normally spawn.

  • How do you enable rapid fire?
    Using the sv_infinite_ammo 1 console command (cheat).

  • What mods are incompatible with this?
    Mods that alter gameplay by running VScripts are likely incompatible. That includes the Admin System and CS:S weapon unlockers. The Pipe Shotgun is compatible with other mods using the Custom Weapon Base. A special compatible CS:S weapon unlocker also exists.

  • How do I spawn the Pipe Shotgun from console?
    Use the command:
    give custom_shotgun


Troubleshooting guide
  • The Pipe Shotgun does not fire properly.
    This is likely caused by incompatibility with other mods. Disable other addons, especially conflicting ones. To fire, the button needs to be held in until the bowstring is released.

  • The Pipe Shotgun does not spawn.
    Disable other addons featuring custom melee weapons or modes featuring mission file replacements. Make sure the Custom Weapon Base is installed. Make sure you are not playing on a custom campaign/map, and that you're hosting the game or playing on a server with the mod installed.

Known issues and Limitations
  • Animations can get desynched after meleeing.
  • No bullet holse are left on surfaces and infected dismemberment does not work at range.
  • Does not work with custom campaigns unless the campaign is modified to include it.
  • Incompatible with other addons that globally execute scripts.

Is it possible to combine the Admin System and the Custom Weapon Base?

Would pipe shotgun randomly damage itself? Sometimes I could shoot a few minutes but some of them were broken within few seconds.

  • How do you enable rapid fire?
    Using the sv_infinite_ammo 1 console command (cheat).

↑ I didn't see ammo quantity in this weapon.

Yeah, it has a chance to explode, but it has a minimum number of shots before that can happen. It has infinite ammo like most other secondary slot weapons.
