Modifying Weapon ROF Without DeHacked

[Magnum Express]

Is there any possible way to modify a weapon's rate of fire without using DeHacked?

[Mithran Denizen]

There are a bunch of port-specific ways of fiddling with weapons. As far as I know, each of these should let you modify firing rates, though I'm not certain:

- Eternity's EDFs

- DECORATE

- EDGE's DDFs

There are probably more ways to do so, though. You can possibly do the same thing with Doomsday's DEDs, but I'm not sure if its scope extends to weapons.

DeHackEd is the most universally supported, though.

Use DECORATE!
Here's an example:

Actor FastShotty : Shotgun replaces Shotgun
{
Weapon.SlotNumber 3
States
  {
    Fire:
     SHTG A 1
     SHTG A 3 A_FireShotgun
     SHTG BC 2
     SHTG D 1
     SHTG CB 2
     SHTG A 2
     SHTG A 1
    Flash:
     SHTF A 1 Bright A_Light1
     SHTF B 2 Bright A_Light2
  }
}

You can also customise weapon damage and make new weapons!

So what exactly do you do in DECORATE to increase ROF?

[EarthQuake]

You reduce the frame durations.

Take a look at the durations in the original definition and compare to the above:

States
  {
  -snip-
  Fire:
    SHTG A 3
    SHTG A 7 A_FireShotgun
    SHTG BC 5
    SHTG D 4
    SHTG CB 5
    SHTG A 3
    SHTG A 7 A_ReFire
    Goto Ready
  Flash:
    SHTF A 4 Bright A_Light1
    SHTF B 3 Bright A_Light2
    Goto LightDone
  -snip-
  }

Sorry, my mistake. Forgot to add that.

[Magnum Express]

That's okay. One of my friends tried to reduce the rate of fire for one of his weapons by doing that, but it didn't work for him.
