I'm trying to set one up to test it for a catapult, and to be honest I'm struggling:
- looking at the docs (such as they are) I'm not sure that auto-turrets can deal with lobbed projectiles very well
- I can't get an auto-turret to play its fire anim when firing
- I'm not convinced that the bdat setting for auto-turret defence trigger (which tells the building which weapon to fire) is linked properly to the gamescript.mts file that holds the weapon details
- and I can't get weapons working at all for vehicles on my unregistered world, so I can't test it that way either
Apart from that everything's great :p
(I'll keep playing and let you know)

I need a little favour....
Ok, try something like this for starters:
Weapon 1
{ #rock
Fire=Basic
Control=Javelin
damage=50
graphic=1
speed=2000
param=2000
delay=5000
pitch=45
object=ExpProjectile
anim=AnimFire
}
quick explanation of the important things here:
Weapon 1 - obviously can be any number
{ #rock - and called whatever u like :]
Fire=Basic - which means it'll fire where you're looking
Control=Javelin - this is the "strength bar" firing method, which would suit a catapult I think
damage=50 - whatever you like
graphic=1 - whatever you like
speed=2000 - the speed the projectile emerges at. Needs playing with
param=2000 - the time it takes for the strength bar to reach full strength
delay=5000 - the delay between shots
pitch=45 - the angle at which the shot emerges
object=ExpProjectile - type of projectile. Normal "projectile" doesn't work at the moment, and exploding projectile is closest
anim=AnimFire - it sorta works
So: i've got a catapult working as a vehicle. It does play its firing animation but the trigger that links the release of the weapon to a specific animation frame seems to be broken. It's almost impossible to work out where the missiles are going to land. But it's quite fun ;)
Notes for dev team (I'll add these to the bug tracking system):
- if fire=lob, the animations stop playing
- if object=projectile, the projectile model doesn't display
- trigger frames may be broken entirely, or just broken on turret animations
- turret animations on auto-turrets don't play

Well, you need to be a lot more descriptive when you're posting about a problem... what happens, nothing? Something? No weapons? Some weapons? No error messages? Have you tried the .debugweap 1 command?
- Make sure world settings -> Fighting is set to 1
- Make sure world settings -> weapon selection mode is set to 0
- Make sure you definitely have a file called GameScript.mts in your world's data folder (not your client)
- Make sure you're using the settings I suggested, which ought to do something at least
- Make sure you the vehicle you're testing actually has the right weapon assigned in its vehicle settings
- Make sure you provide a lot more information before complaining :)
See if that helps, and post with more info if not.

Wow. It's almost like it'd be great if there was some kind of repository of knowledge you could go to to find out what to do. Oh hang on, there is.
