EDITED

1. Get the special.cs file and put it in the game/server/scripts folder.

2. Open that file and add this at the bottom of it.:

 

                                        

                                        //-------------------------------------------------------

                                        //----------------New Projectiles----------------

                                        //------------------------------------------------------

                                        Datablock ProjectileData(Custom) // Projectile Name Within ( )
                                        

                                        {

                                         velocity = 40.0; // meters per second

                                         inheritVelocity = 1.00; // how much of shooters velocity to inherit

                                         numBounce = 0; // usually 0

                                         splashArea = 5.0; // usually 0

                                         count = 10; // how many shots per clip?

                                         saveOldCartridge = true; // chuck old cartridge or keep it around

                                         canSave = false; // can this cartridge be saved if another comes along?

                                         reloadTime = 1000; // in milliseconds

                                         burstDelay = 1000; // milliseconds until next burst if button held down

                                         burstCount = 1; // number of projectiles to fire per burst

                                         synchTime = 1000; // synch over this many milliseconds

                                         synchBefore = 500; // synch if not older than this in milliseconds

                                         damage = 3; // usually 1

                                         gravityScale = 0.5; //

                                         sizeScale = 0.7; // scale of projectile (meters for bitmaps)

                                         resource = "~/data/shapes/tanks/AreaProjectile.png"; // shape or bitmap

                                         tankExplosion = "SplashExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         ownTankExplosion = "SplashExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         bounceExplosion = "DefaultExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         otherExplosion = "SplashExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         reticle = "OtherReticle"; // Reticle? OtherReticle --> Area , SpeedyReticle, BounceReticle, DefaultReticle

                                         emitter = "areaemitter"; // OPTIONAL; leave empty if you want no emitter

                                        };

                                        

 

EDIT this.And Also rename your new projectile!!! I think the "// BlaBla" Explains everything eh? Btw for this part:

 

                                        

                                         tankExplosion = "SplashExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         ownTankExplosion = "SplashExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         bounceExplosion = "DefaultExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         otherExplosion = "SplashExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                        

 

"___"Explosion can be:

SplashExplosion
RockExplosion
Bouncetankexplosion
defaulttankexplosion
Bounceowntankexplosion
BounceBump
BounceExplosion
DefaultExplosion

Just play around till you know what all the explosions look like.

3. Then find this in the file (Near 8/10 of the way down):

 

                                        

                                        $NumPupTypes = 3;

                                        $pupTypes[0] = "SpeedyProjectile";

                                        $pupTypes[1] = "BounceProjectile";

                                        $pupTypes[2] = "SplashProjectile";

                                        //-------------------------------------------------

                                        $pupSnds[0] = "ActivateSpeedy";

                                        $pupSnds[1] = "ActivateBounce";

                                        $pupSnds[2] = "ActivateSplash";

                                        

 

Then Add this line to the 'top' section:

 

                                        

                                        $pupTypes[3] = "Custom";

                                        

 

And this line to the 'bottom' section:

 

                                        

                                        $pupSnds[3] = "ActivateSplash"; // Can be ActivateSplash , ActivateSpeedy , or ActivateBounce

                                        

 

So now it looks like this:

 

                                        

                                        $NumPupTypes = 4; // Number of Weapons? In this case there are 4, so we change 3 to 4.

                                        $pupTypes[0] = "SpeedyProjectile";

                                        $pupTypes[1] = "BounceProjectile";

                                        $pupTypes[2] = "SplashProjectile";

                                        $pupTypes[3] = "Custom";

                                        //--------------------------------------------

                                        $pupSnds[0] = "ActivateSpeedy";

                                        $pupSnds[1] = "ActivateBounce";

                                        $pupSnds[2] = "ActivateSplash";

                                        $pupSnds[3] = "ActivateSplash"; // Can be ActivateSplash , ActivateSpeedy , or ActivateBounce

                                        

 

When adding new weapons REMEMBER to change the number in between the [ ]. Add 1 each time you add a weapon!

And that's All! You can go into your server and get a powerup for your new weapon. If you don't get it in a powerup you probably did something wrong! Even missing 1 lousy ; can make it not work!
