PWEM (Panda's Weapon Editor Mod)

PWEM is an open-source weapon editor specifically designed for the Modern Warfare: Cubed modification. This tool allows you to customize and modify existing weapons from Modern Warfare Cubed — a free open-source fork based on Vic's Modern Warfare.

How the Mod Works

After installation, PWEM automatically creates a new config/mwc/pwem folder in the game directory where all your custom weapon settings will be stored. Each weapon gets its own .json file that can be freely edited according to your preferences.

Weapon Parameter Configuration

Let's examine an example configuration file for AACHoneyBadger:

{
    "stats": {
        "damage": 5.4,
        "fireRate": 0.8,
        "recoil": 3.0,
        "gravity": 0.0118,
        "zoom": 0.9,
        "group": "RIFLES"
    },
    "shooting": {
        "single": true,
        "burst": 0,
        "auto": true
    },
    "sound": {
        "shoot": "aac_honeybadger",
        "silencedShoot": "aac_honeybadger",
        "reload": "honeybadger_reload",
        "unload": "honeybadger_unload",
        "endOfShootSound": "gun_click",
        "inspect": "m4a1_inspection",
        "draw": "m4_draw"
    }
}

Client and Server Compatibility

The mod works on both client and server. This means you can install it on a server, and players will be able to connect without needing to install the mod on their clients. However, for correct display of custom weapon characteristics, ensure that the config/mwc/pwem folder is available to all clients.
