Hi.

Is [http://cddawiki.chezzo.com/cdda\_wiki/index.php?title=Mod\_manager](http://cddawiki.chezzo.com/cdda_wiki/index.php?title=Mod_manager)  
still a valid tutorial?

I want to mod back in some of the items marked as obsolete: pneumatic weapons, rail rifle and all the other homemade guns that got taken out but I don’t want to download a huge modpack for this, just the least necessary files to bring back these recipes.

- Is there someone who did this already?
- If not I would give it a shot (must be copy paste at mosty right? Go back to an old release and get the item files?)
- Where would I get a list of all these kind of weapons so I don’t miss anything?

Thanks in advance.
