Aight, last week my friend was at my house and he asked me if you could get the Rambo Bow without being in Rambo mode. So, I went to work making a the Ruger be the Rambo. So far I changed the sfx and the graphic, but I have some problems.

1/ I made bow in paint program and pasted it into the ruger .bmp file, and it looked okay in the game. Then I duplicated it for the ruger77-2 .bmp and played it in the game. It looks fine, except when the the soldat turns to face left, the bow is still pointing the other way. So, I flipped the ruger77-2 file along the vertical axis, but it still don't look right.

2/ I know this is a long shot, but I want to make the Ruger as deadly as the Rambo bow ie kill with one shot even in nonrealistic mode.Anyone know how to edit a weapon to be more powerful/longer range whatever?


Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

This can't be done. The way the graphics work, the bow will just not fit right. I've tried it before.

And no, you can't set the power of the ruger...yet. Wait for the weapons editor.

Yeah, I just found out that the bow is always way off from the soldat's hands. Ddamn. That woulda looked awesome if I had the Rambo Bow. too bad.

That's because the weapon editor isn't released yet... jeez... the closest you'd be able to get is turning the throwing knife into one, but then it'd be more like a stick...

Until the weapon editor is done, no "cool" custom weapons. Just changed versions of the current ones.
