Deus Ex Alpha

I have couple of questions on weapon and pickups coding;

1)How do u use custom SKINS on pickups, the same mesh but different skin texture
2)How do you make guns fire different projectiles than they should, like the CAT gun.
3)Is it possible to put textures and classes in the same package

1. Dunno
2. I only know the in-game code, that is set deusex projectileclass Cat, and ofcourse set deusex binstanthit false.
3. Dunno

3) No - Textures are .utx and Compiled Classes are .U (uncompiled are .uc)

1) its something related to skin and multiskin properties, but i need a bit of research before being able to answer this
2) you have to change the projectileclass property (and/or others related) by modding or commands
3) yes you can! u can put code and textures in the same file alongside with the map (the .dx file) by importing them into the special MyLevel package (anyway this can cause some problems). actually, the different files (.utx, .umx, .dx, .u, .uax, .uxx) have all the same format! moreover, the dx engine detects what content should be found in a file not depending on the extension, but on the folder where it is located!
