Custom Weapon Attributes

Weapon attributes define basic weapon/entity appearance and behaviors. Attributes are grouped into sections. Each section can appear only once in the config file unless stated otherwise.

[General]

This section is required to register the weapon.

classname	string	""	Entity name for spawning the weapon as an entity or via the map CFG.
hl_client_classname	string	""	Replacement weapon given to players who don't have the SevenKewp client. Don't use aliases here (use weapon_9mmhandgun and weapon_9mmAR, not weapon_glock or weapon_mp5).
kill_feed_icon	string	""	Icon to use in the kill feed. This should be the classname of a Half-Life weapon similar to the one you're making ("weapon_357" to use the revolver icon). You can't use custom icons yet.
