Ok I'm a nub at hacking models and need a good hacking TUT.

for a sec there when i saw the title i thought you were talking about something else then i remeber this is msa..

Hackjobs would be a beter name for what your refering to.

http://cdg.csnation.net/Peril/tute.htm

It covers the basics of hackjobbing, it's done with a CS model but the principles are the same for any HL mod. ;)

Hack jobbing, IMO, is absolutely fine as long as you give due credit and ask permission to use parts.

Although I'm sure Jed is itching to link you to his thread :rolleyes: lol

THANKS but do the t models have to be decompiled too?

Aye you'll have to decompile the models before you can start hacking them up.

Do I have to decompile the T model?

Yes but it should decompile it automatically.

The T-Model contains just the textures - some models use them to save load time as it only loads the textures when their needed instead of when the model is loaded.

Thanks for all your help guys:) Do I open the QC one? And when try open it dosen't open the model.If Im trying to hack pices of a US inf model onto a brit inf model which should I open?

Help

What you want is the SMD files which you import into Milkshape/Max. The QC lists how they are constructed - the first ones in the QC define the mesh of the model, the last 346 odd just define animations.

Have a read through the Tutorials sticky thread at the top of the page - theres a LOT of relevant stuff in there you will find handy.
