That's a little confusing. Basically, what I want to know is how do you get a new ar tag (for example) to replace the old one so if you play a CTF or slayer pro game you spawn with it?

I already updated all the tags in globals.globals with their replacement counterparts, but the only gametype that works is slayer (I spawn with the correct plasma pistol.) Every other gametype spawns me with either a pistol or no weapons at all.

Here is a list that may help:

Slayer - plasma pistol
CTF - pistol
Slayer pro - no weapon
Snipers - no weapon
Rockets - no weapon

All weapons that I do spawn with are the correct ones (not the vanilla ones). Also, in snipers and rockets, only some weapons change to sniper rifles and rocket launchers. I would guess that those would be weapons that I have not entered into globals.globals (like a beam rifle or something that isn't just replacing a vanilla weapon), but it happens to the updated plasma rifle among others, but works with other weapons.
