I am attempting to create an entirely new weapon type without overriding the existing types, but I'm unclear if this is possible.
So far here is what I have done:
Created projectile data (per projectiles.gdb)
Created skills (per Skills.gdb)
Created Magic Modifier (for power load, per MagicModifiers/Components.gdb)
Created component data (based on WeaponBeams.gdb)
Created overrides of the races (e.g., RaceHuman) to allow them to research new weapons.
Created item names in a separate .tm file (per items.tm)
For now all of my data/assets are based on beam weapons, but the component names are different. So if it works, the components should look/act like beams but be called Microwave Weapons. I haven't encountered such weapons in my game (after very brief testing), so this may or may not be working.
Below is the first version of the mod if anyone wants to check it out, fix it, or play with it more. As I test more and actually add modified behavior and assets I'll update here.
