Data for the "stance" of the weapon or basically where the guns is on the screen or how much rotated it is. There's one for standing (standard), aiming (steelsight), crouching(crouched), and bipod. The module will inherit the stance of the based on weapon regardless. Example of modifying the stance:
<stance>
<standard position="10 10 -5" rotation="Rotation(0, 0, 0)"/>
<crouched rotation="Rotation(0, 0, 0)"/>
<shoulders rotation="Rotation(0.1, 0, 0)"/>
</stance>
You can get the values for position (vector3) and rotation (Rotation) using a mod called PVM Using that mod you can pretty much change the stance to your liking.
The icon will be stored in guis/dlcs/mods/textures/pd2/blackmarket/icons/weapons and will be named
id
.texture then add it using AddFiles.Since this template is more complex and requires other modules (other than the usual AddFiles, Localization) You pretty much should depend on the template. Download template here
