Guidelines for Posting Weapon Ideas

When suggesting an idea for a new weapon or some new equipment, follow these guidelines to ensure enough detail is added.

Spoiler: New weapons

If suggesting a new weapon, make sure you have these. Make sure said weapon is balanced to fit in War with other weaponry.
Level: Unlock level of weapon
Cost: Cost of weapon
Weapon type: Weapon type (assault rifle, sniper rifle, etc.)
Damage: Amount of damage the weapon can do
Armor penetration: Amount of penetration damage the weapon can do
Firemode: Describes how the weapon fires/reloads.

• Normal: Used for magazine fed automatic weapons.
• Bolt: Used for magazine fed sniper rifles which are rechambered by moving a lever
• Pump: Used for weapons that reload by inserting shots directly into the weapon, and use a pump to rechamber rounds.
• Individual bullet: Used for weapons that reload by inserting shots directly into the weapon, but are automatic.

Ammo used per shot: Amount of ammo used per shot (for example, the Dragunov uses 2 ammo per shot but the M4A1 uses 1)
Capacity: Capacity of a weapon/magazine before a reload (for example the M4A1 has a 30 round capacity and the SPAS-12 has an 8 round capacity)
Shots per burst: How many bullets fired per click, in a burst (for burst weaponry like the M16)
Shots per click: How many bullets fired per click, all at once (for shotguns)
Bullet type: Projectile shot out of the weapon (by default snowball, but the LAW uses a wither skull, flamethrower uses fireballs, etc.)
Range: Maximum distance the fired projectiles can travel
Spread: How much the bullets spread
Reload time: Time it takes to insert a new magazine or chamber new rounds
Firerate: Firing speed of weapon (for burst weapons, it's the delay between each burst)

Weapon shooting sound: Sound the weapon makes when firing. Will always have its pitch changed to 2.
A list of accepted Minecraft sounds can be found here.
Recoil: Amount of blocks the weapon pushes you back (usually a low decimal!)
Knockback: Amount of blocks the weapon projectiles push enemies back (usually a low decimal!)
Bullet speed: Speed of projectile (usually no higher than 4.5 or rendering issues will occur)
Custom feature: If your weapon has a custom feature, post it here. (examples: flamethrower sets people on fire, crossbow shoots bolt that explodes after 2 seconds)

Optional: PvPGunPlus Configuration

Spoiler: Configuration Explained

gunName=&e - Name of the gun. The &e code is in front of it so that the gun name is yellow.

gunDamage= - Damage (in hp)
maxDistance= - Maximum distance (in blocks)
bulletSpeed= - Speed of bullet (1-4, higher=better)
accuracy= - Accuracy hip (0.15 for the M16, lower=better)
accuracy_aimed= - Accuracy aimed (0.01 for most guns, lower=better)
-------
canAim= - Whether you can aim or not
explodeRadius= - Radius of an explosion in blocks, 0 to disable
fireRadius= - Radius of fire effect in blocks, 0 to disable
canHeadshot= - Whether the weapon will deal extra damage with headshots or not
--------
hasClip= - Whether the gun has a capacity or not
maxClipSize= - Capacity of weapon

reloadTime= - Time it takes to reload (ticks)
--------
reloadType= - Type of firemode (available nodes - normal, bolt, pump, individual_bullet)
gunSound= - Firing sound
localGunSound= - Whether the gun sound can be heard by you only or everyone else
recoil= - Amount of blocks the gun knocks you back
knockback= - Amount of blocks the gun knocks enemies back

Spoiler: New equipment

If suggesting new equipment, make sure you have some of these nodes. Make sure said weapon is balanced to fit in War with other equipment.
Note that this applies for melee weapons and other equipment like grenades. Therefore, you likely won't need all of these.
Level: Unlock level of equipment
Cost: Cost of equipment
Equipment type: Equipment type (tactical, lethal, melee, etc.)
Damage: Amount of damage it can do from directly hitting a target
Armor penetration: Amount of penetration damage it can do from directly hitting a target
Spread: How much spread there is when throwing a throwable. Usually 0.
Delay: Delay between throwing another one (if a throwable)
Deploy sound: Sound the equipment will make on usage. Will always have its pitch changed to 2 if a throwable. Usually it's shoot arrow for throwables.
A list of accepted Minecraft sounds can be found here.
Bullet speed: Speed of throwable (also determines distance, usually around 0.9 to 1.1)
Custom feature: This is the custom feature of the equipment. For instance, grenades explode, and molotovs set players on fire.

Optional: PvPGunPlus Configuration (applies only for tacticals and lethals that are throwables)

I wanted to do that, but I'm on my iPad. Once I get on my computer, I'll add the PvPGunPlus stats.

 

It works when you are sneaking at all.
I will update this thread with PvPGunPlus things now.

 

You actually need a lot of those values to fully customize your gun, Pie. That includes the clip, aiming, rounds per click, rounds per burst, etc. I technically explained most of those if not all, and I usually don't like reading server ideas for guns in a configuration format

 

Ah, a projectile. Good idea, I will update the thread with projectile stats. Thanks for the idea Pie!
