I have all the models, made and ready to wrap into a working addon, but the problems I am having are as follows:

1.  When I fire the weapon, the "bolt"(DOA_Bolt) does not leave the weapon like it has been fired, and I would like for this to happen.

2.  I cant seem top get the custom scope I made to work ingame, when the V button (my keyboard configuration for the scope view) is pressed.

So basically what I am trying to do is be able to fire the weapon, have the bolt fly out, and then a new bolt "appears" since I have made this to Kueters specs and he wants it to be a 5-shot Crossbow, with a 5-Bolt reload clip.  I havent added the sounds yet, I am too hung up on getting it to fire first.  
If anyone can give me a hand and take a look at this, or if anyone needs the models to try to make it work, just post here, or contact me @ the following with DOA_Bow in the subject line.

Hiya mate, ermmm you must have missed what i said in the email i sent. Try this.
BTW, you need to specify an optics path.

As you can see I have put the optics p[ath that I made in the config, now the game gives me the following error when I try to test the addon in game:

WARNING:  preNLOD format in object doa_crossbow\xbowscope.paa

So, that is not working oput quite like I had hoped.  Also, when I leave the optics part out, just to try and test the rest of the addon ingame, it will not fire the specified ammo that I created, the DOA_Bolt,    In fact, it wont even fire at all, I reload it, the bolt is visible in the bow, but it wont fire.  That is using the config posted by Pathy above.

When I use the original config I posted in the very beginning of this post, and take out the optics to avoid the error, it will fire, but without the bolt being animated.

I will default back to the M21 optic, that is of little concern, but I am desperately needing this bolt animation to work.

Ok beyond my help then  

[oyman]

umm i think optics have to be in .p3d format,you just cant use a texture, so open up a optic from the demo or something and texture with your texture and call it DOA_optic or something

[monoloth69]

Thank you Oyman, not if anyone out there can just manage to help me with getting the bolt to fly out of the damm bow!

[oyman]

hmm, ive got an idea why dont you define the weapons and ammo as a m203 grenade and give it simulation=shotbullet which will make it fly like a bullet
and give it explosive=false so it wont explode, maybe that will work
