-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 {{code|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 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''.

 === Making changes ===
 If you make changes to the custom item schema, use the command {{code|cl_reload_item_schema}} to show the changes in game. {{code|sv_reload_item_schema}} can also be used to update the custom item schema for the whole server in multiplayer.
+= Modifying vanilla weapons =
+''This section will potentially include a different method for editing vanilla weapons that isn't widely used. In the meantime, please do '''not''' write any current methods here or use this as a guide.''
+By including empty copies of stock weapons in your custom item schema, you can prevent them from disappearing when you edit one of them.
+Everything added into the empty copies will be combined with the corresponding entries in the vanilla item schema.
+Below is an example {{code|custom_items_game.txt}} file that contains empty copies of every item with the {{code|preset=3|baseitem}} parameter.
