Custom tooltip info
« on: April 11, 2014, 06:40:19 AM »

For modding, it would be very practical to be able to insert custom weapon tooltip information. Like for instance a custom string in the same spot you'd list EMP damage.

I might not fully understand your request. But can't you already put up a tooltip in the place where you list the weapon's primary role? I.E. strike, support, etc.

Of course, that makes sense. I'd be all for such a feature. Adds just a bit of extra flavour in tune with the weapon's own lore.

I would even go further and allowing us to create custom DPS descriptions (in cases where it cant be calculated due to be based on OnHit scripts)
