Let's say I added the clone rifleman's award rifle to a cloaked anakin model in place of his saber toss. Let's say I munged and, in-game, it worked perfectly except for the fact that the weapon's icon was floating on the screen and that once de-selected, it was impossible to re-select.

I know there's a tutorial in the FAQ section on floating weapons; I'll look into it now. But is there a fix for the de-selection bug? I suppose I could just delete his choke, so that it was impossible to de-select the rifle in the first place; but for obvious reasons I'd rather avoid that. Can it be done?

"Let's say" we stop talking in hypotheticals.

All you have is the award weapons "bug." You've given a unit a weapon that normally has an award weapon but you didn't load the award weapon in the unit's odf. Either make a custom weapon without an award, or make sure to load the award weapon through the .odf (see stock unit .odfs for an example).

I did put the award weapon into Anakin's odf, though. I didn't put in the normal rifle. Does that matter?

Also, in what odf and where in it can I change the amount of ammo a weapon has? I've been sifting through common and rep weapon odfs but I can't seem to find it. I can change the amount per clip, but not the maximum ammo over all.

You increase the ammo by rising this number, found in the default unit(i.e.:rep_inf_default_rifleman):
WeaponAmmo = 4 With the normal rifle odf that has 50 rounds per clip, you will have 200 rounds
Change to
WeaponAmmo = 8 Now, you will have 400 rounds

Thanks for that! It was simple, and it worked, too. I was flicking through weapon odfs; I never thought to go to the unit's odf.

Now all there is is to fix that de-selection thing. I didn't completely understand Mav's answer, although I know that he is a great modder and if I did understand his explanation, it would work. So could anyone explain his response to me, please?

Just add these lines to your weapon's .odf:
