Could somebody please put together a quick tutorial on how to reorigin weapons? Some of them are really bugging me, e.g. the Pistols.

Thanks.

?? what is that?

How to move the gun around the screen so you can see it at a different point.

For Example, it could be raised to shoulder height etc.

how do you do it?

I believe that's what he's asking for. There's bound to be one somewhere on sourceblog, or way back in the archives of this forum.

I remember back in the day you had to edit the QC file, but I don't know what you'd edit for Source.

This is the top of a qc file i have.

$cd "D:\mymod\"
$modelname "weapons\v_garand.mdl"
$model "Garand" "v_garand_reference.smd"
$cdmaterials "models\weapons\v_models\garand\"
$cdmaterials "models\weapons\v_models\hands\"
$origin -16 0 0
$texturegroup skinfamilies

This is an example.

$origin 0 0 0 will be X Y Z co-ordinates.

X - Is how far back or forward you want the gun. Negative numbers moves it forward, positive numbers moves it back.

Y - Is how how far left or right you want it. Positive pushes it right, negative moves it left.

Z - Is how far up or down you want the weapon. Positive numbers moves it down, negative numbers moves it up.

Ya but how do you make qc files?

For a new weapon?

Just decompile the current dod:S weapon models using cannonfodders decompiler.

It outputs a qc file.
