I am highly new to custom zombies, but I was wondering how to add custom features such as weapons and perks to the maps. Any serious answer is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Well for perks you have a few options. Several people have released their own versions of the perks which you are free to download and place in your map. They have tutorials and instructions in their links and downloads. For example theres my perks and Bams BO1 perks, but there are also others, as well as those that are ( and further more that "will" ) be in the UGX mod
As for weapons, you need to port them. Easiest games to do this for are probably Modern Warfare 1 or Black ops 1, as the files either "already" work, or can be easily converted, especially as both of those games also have a variation of mod tools
To actually add the guns, youll need the gun models, the textures for the models, the animations, the sounds, a sound alias, a weapon file, and the images that are used for the textures.
To port guns from other games would require you to learn how to use either Maya or Blender, both of which are modeling/animation programs. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do it, most noteably by Rollonmath
The best place to explore for these things is the "downloadable items for mappers" board, located here :
http://ugx-mods.com/forum/index.php/board,53.0.htmlI am also "assuming" you mean creating your own maps, its not this simple ( nor should you in "my" opinion ) to tamper with "other" peoples maps. Odds are itll end up broken anyway and not even load
