After playing around with this some more I'm rethinking dinglehopper's idea about having more than one list. There are so many different possible combinations that the list becomes unwieldy pretty quickly.

I was thinking we could retain the single list, and single AvailableAttachmentPoint tag within the game, but enable the xmls to contain more than one AvailableAttachmentPoint tag. This would work similarly to the DefaultAttachment tag, and yes it means it's ugly, and not great db design practice, adding extra columns like that, but it'd be easy to add in. All the AvailableAttachmentPoint tags in the item would be OR'd together by the game, and we could have several dropdowns in the editor instead of just one.

I don't think we'd need to apply this to the other AttachmentPoint tag though. Attachments tend to connect to just one or a few places, whereas guns have many available connection points.

EDIT: testing this out now with 10 AvailableAttachmentPoint tags. I also think we can cut down the number of DefaultAttachment tags from 20 to 10... any opposed to that?

EDIT:

Sample picture:

In this iteration, I'm just using the CAF for RIS and AK stuff so far. But the additional fields should make adding stocks, barrels and magwells much easier.

Example of attachment granting RIS attachment points:

The CAF makes these items much easier Very Happy
