	To begin, create a file named {{code\|custom_items_game.txt}} in your {{code\|<SteamUserDir>\Team Fortress 2 Classified\tf2classified\custom\<Mod Name>\scripts\items}} directory. This is the file that contains all the information regarding your custom weapons. Please note that you cannot have multiple ''custom_items_game.txt'' files loaded simultaneously, so any other mod folders that contain them should be placed in {{code\|tf2classified\custom\disabled}} to allow the new custom item schema to load.

	It should be noted that {{code\|custom_items_game.txt}} is the ~~superior~~ option for defining custom weapons. It is possible to override the vanilla ~~items_game.txt file~~ with one that contains custom weapons, but this method is not recommended as you'~~ll have to manually update~~ the ~~schema whenever the vanilla one is updated~~.		It should be noted that the {{code\|custom_items_game.txt}} method is the simplest and objectively best option for defining custom weapons, as it automatically inherits data from the newest version of the vanilla {{code\|items_game.txt}} file. It is possible to override the vanilla item schema with one that contains custom weapons, but this method is not recommended as the overriding file must be manually updated each patch for parity with the vanilla {{code\|items_game.txt}} file. For you and your players' sake, use the {{code\|custom_items_game.txt}} method ''only''.
