Lots of changes in v4. Edited everything again to make it more readable, fixed a couple melee weapon bugs, and also enabled changing the buff granted while aiming. Also some other misc changes: like providing the zoom_level buff for a way of changing how much the weapon zooms.

Another useful addition is More Info.txt, which is a database of known item tags, buff names, context tags, and weapon object names.

Just wanted to say thanks for the template, really makes moding weapons easier.

How does the logger work? I see that it runs in the console, but it never prints anything other than "logger started" "logger done" I set all the inner bools to true.

[king bore haha]

I don't know why that would happen. If enablelogger = true, and any of the log_infos = true then it should just work. Make sure the file is saved, and make sure the true/false are in lowercase are all I can think of.

There is also a glitch where the console can mess up and not print anything at all of it gets too full, so having them all set to true could also be causing a problem. But if it's printing "Logger is done" then I don't think that is it.

Logger is enabled
Logger is done

I turned off all but one of the bools, but still this is all I get. ^
everything is lowercase.

I just place the file in my mods folder right?

EDIT: I think I fixed the above issue, but now it complains that it cant acesss base item from this line

Log("contextTags: " .. item.contextTags)

It worked once I commented out that line.

Oh ok items don't have contextTags so that makes sense. I must have put it in there and not thought about it. That's actually an old version of the logger, and the new version is a huge mess so I didn't update it in the template.

Updated the template again, also updated more info.txt. It's up to the current version I've been using.

More info will be outdated again once I finish recording information for equipment and consumables, and I think I'll include everything in the same file at that point.

Quick update, mostly regarding "More Info.txt" with some couple of (mostly inconsequential) changes in the template itself.
