This is used to define the models fired from Bows, Crossbows and Slings, and for thrown weapons Shurikens, Throwing Axes and Darts.

Hardcoded Notes

The games ammo types are hardcoded - ie the AmmunitionType column in this 2da.

The other rows can be reordered or changed as needed - the main thing is that there should be always a matching pair of AmmunitionType and DamageRangedProjectile combination.

The 2da is read top to bottom so in the case of duplicates where AmmunitionType and DamageRangedProjectile match on more than one line the first is taken.

Adding New Damage Projectiles

See Creating Custom Damage Types for notes on this.

The gist is make 6 new rows and have a new DamageRangedProjectile entry, which links to the same column in damagetypes.2da

Do not use values 6 or 7 which are reserved for spell projectiles.

Note on client versions earlier than 1.88.8193.36 it will default back to the non-elemental lines (0 through 5) when a new row is specified, since the 2da can't be used. They also make assumptions that rows 0 through 35 are as-is in regards to the type of projectile and damage type (eg row 23 is always an electric throwing axe).

2da Columns

AmmunitionType1baseitems.2da AmmunitionType column IDIE: Arrows are 1, Bolts are 2. etc. This is hardcoded.

These map and so you can have new ones.

Note: use values 8 and up for custom damage types to get them recognised. 6 and 7 are special cases used for spell projectiles.
