Modding Question: Replacing Binoculars with a Crossbow – How is it done?

[slimline33]

Hi there,

I'm currently running a CoD4x server using the openwarfare2_v145f mod and recently noticed something interesting on another CoD4 server:
The binoculars were replaced with a crossbow, including a proper model, animation, and bolt projectiles.

I'm curious about how this was achieved:

Was the binocular slot repurposed to load a custom weapon (the crossbow)?

Is this part of an existing mod or a separate add-on?

Are there any resources, tutorials, or example code available for this?

I'm not entirely sure if this is directly related to CoD4x itself – it might just be a separate modding effort.
However, since CoD4x is the foundation for most servers nowadays, I figured this would be the best place to start asking.

Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
bimmi

Hi K-Factor!

Thanks a lot for your message. You won’t believe it, but that was actually your server – I’m really surprised you reached out!

I’d be happy to accept your help. I joined your Discord once, but unfortunately most of the communication there was in Russian, which made it a bit difficult for me.

What would be the best way for us to get in Touch? Telegram?
