Hello, I have a weird problem: When I got the chain gun, selecting it and pressing fire, just plays the reload animation, it does not fire regardless which keyboard or mouse key I tried.

Just some info: I had the original DVD installed of DOOM 3. I tried as well Dhewm. Now I changed (uninstalled original) to gog-version of DOOM 3 (not BFG edition) to get RoE as well.
Mods: I have duct tape, upgraded from 2.62 to 2.72a and some mod to get the container codes via an email in the PDA.
I already tried several things and searched the internet without much success.
Can anyone help, it is quite annoying.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

No patches updated the chaingun.def file, but the script was updated and it's in base/pak06.pk4. You should have pak01-08 in the doom3/base folder. Make sure you have all of those.

Where did duct tape & the pda mods installl to? It's possible they're in your base folder, added some pk4's, and there's a def/script in there messing things up.

There's a couple of way to do what you're saying.

First, you have ammo, right? :)

Second, in the base/pak00.pk4/def/weapon_chaingun.def you can define what the fire animation is. Since the actual firing is defined in the .def file, if it points to the wrong animation and/or the "fire" command is missing, it won't work. I highly doubt that particle file was changed, but if you have ANY other pk4's in your base they override the stock pak0x.pk4 files.

Third, custom script is messing things up.

If stuff is in your base folder & not in a pk4 but in it's own folder (ie base/def, base/script, etc) those will override the pk4's too.
