How to Create a New Weapon Subsystem (kinetic, ion, etc) by Multiplicity. Edited by Mikail.

dir = directory
folder = dir

This process is mostly the same as the missile tutorial, with the following exceptions (which you must read):

1) Instead of dealing with the "\missile" dir and modifying/creating the ".miss" files/dirs (as you would in the missile tutorial), you will be dealing with the "\subsystem" dir and modifying/creating the corresponding ".subs" files/dirs.

2) It is not necessary to copy over anything from the "\weaponsfire" directory unless you intend to modify the ".wf" (weaponsfire) file (in which case you may or may not wish to create a new one).
Note: true for ion beams. Dont know about others. So, if HW2 crashes, try copying it over.

3) You must edit the corresponding ".subs" file(s), and change the last line (the weapon's name) to the new weapon name.
The weapon name is the 2nd parameter (the 1st parameter being NewSubSystemType).

4) Now you should read How to Create a New Missile Type.
