Basically what i need are default or close to default American Weapon models.... but with British sleeves, and british support. Currently swaping the file name leaves them without sleeves.

If anyone could edit the defaults and add sleeves (for the life of me i tried but they kept getting corrupted) or if someone can take some custom American guns and add british support i would be very grateful.

I am looking to train a bunch of guys with british weapons, but they like the models for the americans.


thx.

decompile the model, and in the qc

(the original)

//reference mesh(es)
$body "gun" "reference"

$bodygroup "sleeve"
{
studio "us_sleeve"
studio "brit_sleeve"
studio "axis_sleeve"
}

to

//reference mesh(es)
$body "gun" "reference"

$bodygroup "sleeve"
{
studio "brit_sleeve"
studio "brit_sleeve"
studio "axis_sleeve"
}

and then compile

i tried that, but will try again!

oh wait, that's right, the us models don't have the brit_sleeve.smd soooooooooooooooooooo

you will have to decompile a british model, delete everything except the brit_sleeve.bmp and the brit_sleeve.smd and copy them and paste them in the same directory as your decompiled us model

then do what i said above

i think i did something like that... but will try just what you said....

ya i dont think i tried it EXACTELY like you said before, but doing what you said gave me this....... lol Iv gotten to this point before... just plain frustrating!

ahh the origins got fubar'd

you gotta add

$origins 0 0 0 (i think)

somewhere in the .qc but i cant remember where.

if you know where i will buy u a cookie! I know nothing about modeling and today was the first time i ever used a complier!

lol

ahh here it is. open the .qc

$modelname "v_sten.mdl"
$cd ".\"
$cdtexture ".\"
$scale 1.0
$cliptotextures

$origin

you should see something like that, but without the $origins line.

add $origins 0 0 0 and give it a go

ok testing now... it compiled... thats a good sign, now we see if its all out of wack...

didnt change anything..... any other suggestions or anything to add to the oigins line?

This is what i have :



$modelname "E:\Documents and Settings\Trevor W. Smith\Desktop\New Folder (5)\v_garand.mdl"
$cd "\Documents and Settings\Trevor W. Smith\Desktop\New Folder (5)\"
$cdtexture "\Documents and Settings\Trevor W. Smith\Desktop\New Folder (5)\"
$cliptotextures
$origin 0 0 0

try it with $scale added in.

didnt work... same as before. Should i mess with the scale #?

$cdtexture "\Documents and Settings\Trevor W. Smith\Desktop\New Folder (5)\"
$scale 1.0
$cliptotextures
$origin 0 0 0

LOL no don't mess w/ the scale

you had to have entered numbers in the origin line, try

$origin 0 -20 0

next time use kratisto's decompiler or the regular decompiler, not the half life/ decompile .mdl one

i did use his decompiler and it wouldnt recompile, i will try his again....

What do you recommend to recompile?

there's only one compiler, what are you using? milkshape? or just regular studiomdl?

if your using milkshape tell us what error message it says, if not post part of your qc here so we can help



$modelname "v_garand.mdl"
$cd ".\"
$cdtexture ".\"
$scale 1.0
$cliptotextures

$origin 0 -20 0



that's how yours should look or i fyou put the directory in the modelname and such

i have been using studomdl and milk. Which one is the correct one?

doesn't matter

EDIT: unless your compiling player models in which you need the 1.1 compiler (which your not :p)

ok im trying with the -20 setting now. wish me luck!

where do i get the 1.1 compiler?


edit: gotcha, these arnt player models

-20 worked, but not 100%, i guess i will mess with the setting a little.

THANK YOU BOTH!
