doesn't it work out of the box?

Combat Extended uses Patches now and they target all guns.

It may need some tinkering with the numbers but it should work.

It's a new feature for A17 that allows modders to pre-process the xml where the definition of everything is stored.

There's no way to patch guns automatically because you can't infer their stats in any real way. You still need to manually set up the patches.

I'm currently working on a spreadsheet that should make generating the data for the patches as easy as typing in some numbers from Wikipedia but I'm not releasing that while I'm still tweaking formulas daily. Hence I wouldn't recommend trying to make a patch right now either, the mod is changing too much and you'd have to constantly update your patch to keep up. Just wait until it's released instead of trying to play some unstable dev build.

How long do you think that it will take for combat extended to get a stable release

For non supported guns that aren't balanced yet, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a formula that takes their range and accuracy over distance and get generic values and fill in the stats that need to be filled for it to work? I thought that was a given for A17 release.

So is anyone capable of make the patch. On a side note CE add a few guns such as the ak47 RPG 7 etx and some gun mods may have the weapons it already adds such as high calibre with the AK and rimfire with the rpg and the ak so remove the guns mod if there is ğonna be a duplicate.
