Upgrading a mod for NAS is relatively straightforward, and from experience less work than setting up attachments one at a time for each item. Attachments go to attachment slots, which in turn go to the item. The problem is the planning and though that needs to go into developing the slots (you want to be able to reuse slots as much as possible, otherwise the previous statement becomes false).
Right now I am preparing a spreadsheet, documenting the nature of attachments to each gun. Two days in and I am still not done. Funny thing is, the more research I do, the less attachments most guns are getting...
One of the things I am planning are Quad Rail kits for the major weapons families, but I am concerned about ease of implementation. How many layers of slot addition is possible?
ie. In the following scenario:
1. a Quad Rail is attached to a M4, the M4 gets a number of new additional slots. (I know this works see 2.)
2. Reflex Scope when attached, gives the weapon an additional special slot for a Reflex Sight. Specifically demonstrated with the last UC-113NAS.
What happens when the Reflex Scope is added to M4 with a Quad Rail already attached? I think it was mentioned that no additional slots will be added, but I want to check before I start any work.

Because the reflex scope is attached to a slot that was not originally on the gun, it should not add slots.
I know this is not perfect, but it gets horribly complicated to allow added slots to add even more slots.
I would not wish to make the already complicated function that handles this that much more complicated, if I can even get it to work.
Maybe someday someone will be able to simplify it to make it work without becoming utterly unreadable.

"Standalone"*** Urban Chaos-1.13 NASv2 Released. I've included Savegames some demonstrating specific capabilities of UC-1.13NAS and others the potential bugs with the tag.
BR Test/Demo: Initial test conditions, and to show off some items
SUSAT Adding Slot bug: The SA80 rifles all have the SUSAT scope as default attachments. However the SUSAT is not meant to add any slots, but does for some reason. Attachment Slot 73 / Item 515 seems to be adding Slot 78 (a slot meant to be added to pistols when the UBAR Bridge is attached to a pistol's underbarrel attachment slot).
Laser Sight Adding Slot Bug: Attaching the Laser Sight (item 241) to any valid attachment slot on some guns seems to be adding adding (different) slots outside the control of AttachmentSlotAssign.xml. The savegame has three examples, note how the M4 and ACR get different new slots when the laser sight is attached, but the G36 does not. The P90 seems to be getting the same unwanted extra slot as the ACR.
AR-15 Attachments: Showing off the RIS Handguard and RIS Scope Mount for AR-15 rifles.
Pistol Demo: Showing off the RIS Bridge Mount and Desert Eagle RIS attachments. Note the penalties of mounting a 10x Scope on a Mark 23 SOCOM.
AK RIS Attachments: Showing off the AK RIS Handguard, and AK-9's built in lower tactical rail (which does not allow for the use of the AK RIS Handguard.
Groza Demo: Demonstrating the old Groza Weapon System, now enhanced using NAS for conversion of the Attachments.
I now go and rest my weary eyes. The modDB link will be posted when they email me with authorization.
*** well as standalone as I feel is appropriate to release as it is built on other people's work, technically three seperate mods (yours WarmSteel, v1.13, and Urban Chaos) must be acquired before the Hybrid does anything.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot to post the link: http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=258151#Post258151
