GRAW 2 weapons in GRAW 1?

[Ronin]

Does anyone know if it would be possible to put the M14 from GRAW 2 into GRAW 1?  I gave that a shot yesterday using the "add new weapon" tutorial from GRAW 1 as a guide for changing the necessary files and copying assets from GRAW 2 into the local/English directory (keeping the directory structure).

The game started up but crashes on the load out screen.  I don't know if the Diesel files for the GRAW 2 weapons are compatible with GRAW 1.

Being able to use some of the GRAW 2 weapons in GRAW 1 would give the game a shot in the arm, I think.

The diesel file should be compatible. The XML file probably not. And it would most likely need the animations for it to look right.

Hey Wolfsong,  I've been absent for a while. (life was getting a bit too "interesting" for a while)

Anyway, do you think you could give me some pointers into getting the M14 from Graw 2 into Graw 1?

Just when I think it should work, it still just blows up the game. After a couple of dozen failure sessions (you don't want to know just many actual failures... ;o) I'm about to tear out the rest of my hair.

By the way, if Ubisoft it going to 86 the FPS type of games then does Ubisoft still have an ongoing relationship with GRiN?  Just curious.

Right now we are not working on any project owned by Ubisoft. They may be distributors in some parts of the world for any of the current projects, but that's up to the people paying us to worry about.

As for weapons. I really don't have a clue. I could probably figure it our but I haven't done anything on the weapon side, and as it would probably need some animation transfers and stuff as well, it's a bit different then other units. I think your best bet would be Snowfella or Brettzies who can be found at the gr.net boards. They have been concentration on that part of the game modding for both GRAW1 and GRAW2.
