Yeah, you're definitely tired of me now
That being said, I have released a second Gunsaw mod, the Custom Weapon Framework (CWF) mod.
This mod aims to add custom weapon functionality into Gunsaw, where anyone can add weapons to via a web-based modular .txt file system.
Mod Contents:
- Custom projectile-based weapons
- Damage, speed, lifetime, knockback, crit multipliers
- Highly customizable projectile modifier scripts, including homing, fire, explosions, dynamic speed, ricochet, and specialized movement
- Custom melee weapons
- Highly customizable melee modifiers, such as hitlag, multi-hit combos, swing and impact animations, and aiming
- Custom hitscan-based weapons
- Bullet amounts, recoil, knockback, penetration, self-knockback multiplier, crit multiplier, laser and farsight
- Special flags and mechanics
- Burst fire, which shoot a burst per click
- Weapon silencers, which do not alert enemies upon firing
- Customizable visuals
- Customizable sprites for each weapon, projectile, visual effect, empty magazine weapon, magazine, etc..
- Custom VFX (on-hit, on-swing, line trails)
- Customizable sounds for shooting and reloading
- In-game integration
- Full enemy integration, with enemies randomly potentially spawning with custom weapons
- Simple variables allow control of basic enemy behavior (distance, firerate)
- In-game crates may drop your weapon based on the `powerlevel`
Installation
Unlike my other Gunsaw Mod, Gunsaw Level Editor+, this mod requires a dedicated mod loader due to the much higher complexity. As such, it uses `BepInEx` in order to function
Setting up BepInEx:
1. Install BepInEx v.5.4.23.3
2. Extract the .zip into the game's directory, where your Gunsaw.exe is located.
For itch.io web users, this is wherever you downloaded the game
For itch app users, this is in `~AppData\Roaming\itch\apps\gunsaw-demo`
3. Run Gunsaw.exe and quit. Afterwards, you should see a BepInEx folder. Inside of it should be 5 folders, one of which is `plugins`
4. Extract the mod's .zip file into the `plugins` folder
5. Launch the game, and enjoy the custom weapons!
