Hello, I am having a problem with making new coordinates for weapons in the BIF files. What do i log in to the final two coordinates of the weapons data, Duke John failed to explain that there were six, not four coordinates in the weapons.txt.

I was going off of Duke John's unit Graphics instructions:

5.1.2 Textures\Men\NameBIF\shields.txt
In this file you write the coordinates of the different shields. If there are multiple shields then there will be multiple lines of coordinates:x1 y1 x2 y2
x1 y1 x2 y2
x1 y1 x2 y2[/list]Where: the red line stands for shield1, the blue line for shield2 and the green line for shield3. Or said otherwise the order of entry specifies the shield number; first entry corresponds with shield1. (x1,y1) is the topleft corner and (x2,y2) is the bottomright corner.
Note that crossbows (and if you want bows) are treated like shields to create perspective. Technically there is no difference between crossbows and shields, visually you will just see a crossbow instead of a shield.

5.1.3 Textures\Men\NameBIF\weapons.txt
In this file you write the coordinates of the different weapons. Entry of the coordinates are similar to the entry of shield coordinates (5.1.2). To avoid making things harder use the same orientation of weapons as in original MTW BIFs; spears and swords point to the right.

The shield coordinates make sense to me, but the weapons always have 6 coordinates, 1x,1y,2x,2y, and two single digit numbers, like 3, 1. At first i thought that these numbers corresponded with the weapon type that the coordinates listed, but this seems not to be the case, since when i was experimenting with Mongol Cav. weapons 1 and 3 both directed to the spear, and weapon 2 directed to the sword. In the txt weapons listed 1st and 3rd had the same spear coordinates and the 2nd had different sword coordinates. When none of these following numbers were the same order as that.


examples:

my new weapons list:
43,234,93,254,1,3
43,226,196,229[?,?]
45,215,120,223[?,?]
39,203,125,212[?,?]
128,204,219,224[?,?]

new shield list
1,205,32,254
227,206,252,253


the mongol cav weapon list:
102,209,254,211,3,1
1,240,96,254,1,3
102,209,254,211,2,1

in game
weapon 1 => spear
weapon 2 => scemitar
weapon 3 => same spear
