Weapon Lab

Weapon Lab

First-person weapon bugs fixed once per kind, then for every weapon, behind a gate.

An MCP server that finds and fixes first-person weapon bugs behind a gate: hands off the gun, a magazine crooked in its well, a blade held wrong, arms covering the screen.

Each bug becomes a case: a metric, a weapon, an action and a pass rule. Your game's own probe measures the weapons. The Gate passes a change only when its target cases pass and nothing else got worse. Fix each kind of bug once, then check every weapon with it.

Weapon Lab never runs your game itself. You write a small probe for your engine that follows the probe contract: a job file in, a rows file out. Everything else works on what the probe writes back.

What it does

Try it on the demo

The demo is a toy game with two planted bugs and a probe in about 150 lines. It needs no engine.

pip install -e .cd examples/demoweaponlab gate run probe,rig

(python -m weaponlab works the same when pip's scripts folder is not on your PATH.)

The rifle's left hand misses its handguard by 3.75 cm. The knife's hilt lies 90 degrees across the fist. tests/test_demo.py walks the whole loop: measure, find the fix, try it by tune, judge it.

Use it in your game

1. weaponlab init in your project. It writes weaponlab.json and empty data files.
2. Write your probe from the contract, starting from examples/demo/probe/demo_probe.py. Set its command in weaponlab.json.
3. List your weapons in weaponlab/data/weapons.json and their actions in actions.json.
4. Add a case for each bug you know. Measure everything once and set the baseline.
5. Fix through the loop: try by tune or staging, look at the screenshots, propose, approve, import.

Check your probe on its own with weaponlab contract job|rows|parts <file>.

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or later.
• Blender 4.4 or later for Motion Lab and renders. Nothing else needs it.
• Hand bones named as Unreal's mannequin names them (hand_r, index_01_r, lowerarm_r) for the fist measure and the forearm roll.

Where it came from

Weapon Lab is the general part of the tools built for ToangTown, an Unreal 5.8 game with 46 weapons. Its first probe is ToangTown's. The contract's lessons come from that probe. Pose Lab (poselab-mcp) answers the body's side: clipping, the view, a grip solver. The Gate can use it as a provider.
