.cs file locations

Normally, I do my best to figure out a problem on my own. Unfortunately, a solution to a problem as simple as this one has been eluding me for days.

I'm working on making some changes to the weapons/player in my project in T3D. I've looked in scripts/server and core/scripts/server, and I am unable to find the .cs files that contain the weapon and player variables. In TGEA, they were extremely simple to locate. In T3D it is taking me a lot longer to get used to the complex folder structure. Would someone mind filling me in on the location of these files? Thanks so much.

  • Player properties are found in art/datablocks/player.cs
  • Player methods are found in scripts/server/player.cs
  • Individual weapon properties are found in art/datablocks/weapons/WEAPON NAME.cs
  • Common/shared weapon properties are found in art/datablocks/weapon.cs
  • Individual weapon methods are found in scripts/server/WEAPON NAME.cs
  • Common/shared (namespace) weapon methods are found in scripts/server/weapon.cs
Not really anymore complicated than TGE/TGEa ever was, it's just that datablocks have been separated out from the functions/methods. Keep in mind that just because stock code is like does not mean you cannnot modify locations and directory structure on your own.

I believe that the separation stemmed from the inclusion/implementation of the datablock editor - I remember an early early alpha version that would destroy scripts if you used the datablock editor to modify existing datablocks within script script files.
