    I’ve never found the schematic for the Automaton Gunners or encountered one, but I’ve looked through the files and know they exist. I’ve tried to make one before but when I activated it, it turned in to a normal Automaton. Dose anybody knows how to get them to work, or even found the schematic?

    c:\sierra\arcanum\data\rules\schematic.mes
    I think I may have downloaded it.

    The schematic looks like this.

    //Automaton Gunner
    {5070}{814} //Name
    {5071}{815} //Description
    {5072}{569} //Drawing
    {5073}{15133} //Automaton
    {5074}{6039} //Elephant Gun
    {5075}{15172} //Result
    {5076}{1} // Result Amount

    The schematic does not exist in the game because the Automaton Gunner does not exist. If you wish to create one yourself, knock yerself out. :)

    I don’t know how to create a new creature. If somebody has some information to help me do it, I’ll make it.

    This is all the information I have on them
    c:\sierra\arcanum\data\mes\description.txt

    The one for your inventory.
    {15172}{Automaton Gunner}

    Schematic
    {14116}{Automaton Gunner}

    There’s also the inventory item in,
    c:\sierra\arcanum\data\proto\ 015172 – Generic.pro

    The schematic is also in this folder under,
    014116 - Written.pro

    I’ll post new information as I find it. Maybe somebody can help me make it, or make it them selves.

    why??

    why does the Automation gunner not exist in the game? It seems like it would be useful, and now it seems like all those people at Trokia slacked off.

    Yeah I know, it's not like they ever expected to be paid or anything, and the lack of an Automaton Gunner TOTALLY RUINS THE GAME, THE WASTRELS!!!

    Grow up.

    Hot damn, sounds like another fucking useless item to me, right next to a rusty dagger.

    Lol yeah right normal Automatons own and, considering I have an unhealthy obsession with guns in this game, an Automaton Gunner would own BIGTIME. :) :thumbup:

    People have made so many altered files. Dose anybody on this sight know how to make a one, or maybe alter something like the “Mechanical Arachnid (Poison)”.

    Especially if you could give it the gun of your choice. Automation Gunner with a Tesla Gun, now that would be cool.

    The automaton gunner is creatable, I've done it myself. ^_^ BUT there is one catch to it: It appears in your inventory as an Automaton Gunner, but as soon as you put it in your "use" slots, and click it, it reverts to a normal automaton. It used the Elephant gun, and I doubt you could change that, sorry kiddoes.
