If you’re a weapon coder, you can interact with Xover Weapons. Include this XOVER.acs library in your project to use the below functions. This is a top level view of the features ; scroll down to “Resource” sections for an example/implementation guide.

Create keywords

void defineXoverKeyword(int id, int label, str icon)

void defineXoverSecretKeyword(int id)

Traits given to weapons like “Fire”, “Crawler”, “Ice”, “Bounce”, etc.
You can make new ones, for example “Rockman no Constancy weapon” or “Mario weapon”. Secret keywords differ in that they don’t display in the fusion table. A created keyword is technically useless if it's not assigned to at least 1 ingredient, and not used at least on 1 Xover Weapon recipe.
Example

defineXoverKeyword(KW_CRAWL, “CRWL”, “XWKWTYP4”);

Create Xover Weapons

void defineXoverWeapon(str tag, str actor, int slot, str icon, int desc, int tier, int kw1, int kw2);

Label a weapon as a Xover one.
In DECORATE, Xover Weapons have a special way to handle ammo,

// Must be called in Select state

select: TNT1 A 0 ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult(“XW Ammo”)

// To check ammo

fire: TNT1 0 A_JumpIf(!CallACS(“XW Ammo Check”, <amount>), “noAmmo”)

// To consume ammo

TNT1 0 ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult(“XW Ammo Use”, <amount>)

Aside from this, they are coded like standard weapons.
Example

defineXoverWeapon(“TAG_XWMETGUARD1”,”XWMetGuard1Wep”,DTADD_SLOT_SHIELD,”XWAAH0”,”DESC_XWMETGUARD1”,2,KW_CRAWL,KW_SAFETY);

Create ingredients

void defineXover1(str wepActor, int kw1)

void defineXover2(str wepActor, int kw1, int kw2)

void defineXover3(str wepActor, int kw1, int kw2, int kw3)

…

Any custom weapon defined with v6b’s DefineWeapon, or fusion with DefineXoverWeapon, can be assigned keywords, up to 8. I believe 2~3 keywords (secret ones excluded) per weapon is the ideal amount. All weapons made compatible in 3.1.0 have 3 or less keywords.
Note the fusion table can display up to 5 keywords.
Example

defineXover2(“XWMetGuard1Wep”,KW_SAFETY,KW_CRAWL);

This minimal mod implements 2 standard weapons ("ingredients"), 2 keywords (one of them is secret) and 5 Xover weapons. Check the READ_ME inside for technical details.
