1. You do that in the saber's combo file.

2. What do you mean ammo type? Do you mean ammo count, firing speed, or changing the type of projectile the weapon fires?

If you look in the ordanance files the weapon should call for some kind of geometry/msh, so just insert it. Here is an example in the imperial rocket launcher ordanace file:

Hidden/Spoiler:
[OrdnanceClass]
ClassParent = "com_weap_inf_rocket_launcher_ord"

[Properties]
GeometryName = "com_weap_missile"

TrailEffect = "com_sfx_weap_rockettrail_green"
LightColor = "64 224 64 150"
LightRadius = "4.0"

ExplosionName = "imp_weap_inf_rocket_launcher_exp"

I beleive that the chaingin shoots lasers and to add geometry add the line highlighted in the rocket launcher and add that under properties. Then, make sure you have the msh. in your msh. folder that you are calling.

i made a similar weapon that works great, but the spears are completely white. did you ever get yours to have a normal skin, texture, etc.?

The ewok spears use the same texture as the ewoks themselves, and addon mshs can be removed by deleting their line in the odf.

so to fix my problem, i have to put the ewok texture things in and it will work? or will the spear only have a texture when used by an ewok?

sorry for butting in btw, but i was gonna ask this question sooner or later anyway :)
