I've noticed that when you mix mods together, the results are unpredictable. I have a number installed, including the Trent Reznor Sound mod and the Classic Shotgun mod. I just added the Duct Tape mod, and noticed that, although the machine gun now has a light, the shotgun doesn't. Is there any way to get all mods working with each other? Is there any list of which ones are compatible? Cheers, -- -pm "The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli."

I haven't looked into how you go about adding a light source to a weapon but obviously when you change the weapon via a mod it requires another modification to add a light back to it. If you have no idea how to do it yourself, learn. Look through the pak4 files (extract them using, for example, winzip), you'll notice they both have a weapon_shotgun.def, only the one in the last alphanumeric ordered pak4 file will be loaded. So you're goal is to find way to combine the code from both weapon_shotgun.def files. Mods will usually be incompatible if they both modify the same thing. If you don't want to try to do this yourself your best bet would be to look through all the modified weapons out there for someone who has already done a repackaging amalgamation of the mods you want to work together. -- People of the United States!
