Attached should be a zip file containing the decompiled BCoreV21 and Ballisticv21 packages which you will need to put in your UT2004 folder. Next you will need to download UDE.
When you first open UDE, it may ask you if you want to associate something or other with it, just click yes and wait for it to do it's thing.
Next, look for the package browser and find the Ballisticv21 package, then right click on, say, the SAR-12 classes, then click Duplicate from the little menu that pops up from right clicking. Make a unique name for the package you want it in, click yes to making a new package, and then go from there.
A little word about the different classes for each weapon.
You will have a Weapon class, usually 2 firemode classes, an attachment class, a pickup class, sometimes a projectile class, an ammo type (in BW's case its often shared), and in the instance of BW, often somewhere between 2 and 6 damage types.
This is a lot of stuff right there, but let me break down what each does and it won't be as complex to you.
First off, the Weapon class. Often t is simply given the same name as the weapon itself. This what decides what fire modes it has, its recoil and chaos levels, its name in game, description, clip size, all sorts of stuff like that.
Fire modes are basically the things that happen when you press the left or right mouse button. For instant hit weapons, like the SAR-12, they control the damage and recoil from shot, the damage types, penetration amount, and knockback from hitting someone.
If its a projectile firing firemode (not instant hit) like the A73, then the fire mode will decide what projectile to use rather than damage or knockback.
The Projectile classes choose what the projectile will look like, its speed, damage, and knockback.
The attachment class basically controls how you and your weapon appear in third person.
Pickup class basically is used to configure how it looks on the ground as well as a pickup message.
Ammo classes just configure messages for picking up ammo, and max ammos and such. I think there's two different classes, one for ammo itself and one for ammo pickups, the though I may be wrong, can't remember off hand.
Damage types basically are used to choose what death messages to display as well as different gore effects and vehicle damage scaling and stuff.
That's the classes in a nut shell. I'll cover more on this later, but for starter's I recommend duplicating all the classes from one of the simpler guns like the SAR and just tweaking the fire mode class's default properties. Remember to change the names of the various classes that are referenced in the code.
Remember, default properties are the main thing you'll want to change around until you know what you're doing. They're easy to mess with and can leave very noticeable results with very little chance of error.
