I'm kind of trying to get the default HA using smartgun anims, but because the skeleton is different you can't simply convert it that way and I can't think of any way other than trial and error for getting the HA's hands in the right position, which will be tedious in the extreme.
If anyone can offer hints on how to get it done that'd be lovely.
obviously, for my idea you need HLMV, and well, open it up, and click on skeleton, and screenshot your way into a comparison... compair the two, and edit to fit...
Or you can import a P_model and assign it to the bone in the right hand. Then, position how you like, since the model's right there. Just don't import the P_model's skeleton. Only the vertexes.
Hmph. After 3hrs' server-hopping, looking for games in their closing stages so I could see how my HA/smartgun looks so far, not one single server had HA running around!
There <i>has</i> to be an easier way to test how it works.
That's where trial and error comes in, but at least you can use HLMV as it comes in more handy than trying to find a game with HA's in it. What you can do is study the skeleton the P_model's assigned to. Get a good feel for how it's positioned in relation to the R Hand bone before importing the model to the player model you want to change. Maybe take a series of screenshots of its position before importing it to the player model, so you have a detailed record from several key angles. Try to take screenshots when you've got it in a position that sort of resembles the position the player model has his arms in [rotate the 3D view until the arm bone appears horizontal on your screen].
Might take three hours to get right, but at least you'll be doing something for those three hours besides cussing at the games that just never are having HA's for you to look at.
The third post has a zip file containing the models i currently use. Both soldier(avp) and heavy(green ape-suit) models look fantastic ingame....with smartgun animations i might add.
WEEE thanks I love you <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
