If you're going to add information, put it in [[Creating custom weapons#Creating your first weapon|Creating your first weapon]] only if it's '''very''' important to creating weapons, and otherwise put it in [[Creating custom weapons - advanced]]. Do NOT overwhelm beginners!}}

Don't try to fix the wonky indentation in the examples. It's inconsequential and fixing it here will make it look bad in Notepad ++, so it's best to leave it as is. Yeah, I'm annoyed by it too lol}}

If you're here, chances are you're looking to create your own weapons for ''TF2 Classified''. Whether for use against bots or other players, this guide should hopefully help you to start out with creating custom weapons. If it doesn't, consider asking for help in the '''#modding-discussion''' channel in the [https://discord.gg/tf2classified official TF2C Discord].

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 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''.
