1: Weapon Name, 2: Ammo1 ID, 3: Ammo1 Max, 4: Ammo2 ID, 5: Ammo2 Max, 6: Bucket, 7: Bucket Pos, 8: Weapon ID, 9: Flags

This message is sent before the map is fully loaded to determine the location of weapons on the player's HUD. This can potentially be used to change the positions of weapons and put them in different slots. The knife seems to have most problems with this however. Arguments 2 and 3 are -1 if the weapon is the knife. Arguments 4 and 5 are -1 in CS and CZ, but normally they would not be if a weapon had some sort of secondary ammo. Argument 6 can be 0-4 which correspond to the 1-5 horizontal weapon slots on the HUD. Argument 7 is the vertical weapon slot which is only noticable when a player has multiple weapons in a horizontal slot. These numbers start at 1 instead of 0, unlike argument 6. Argument 8 corresponds to a weapon's CSW_ constant.
