NewAge: postcount means nothing. Your whole fucking postcount is based off of your flames. No one likes that. This guy has his mind set on something and he really wants to make a good map. Why did you have to shoot his ideas down? Because he was new? I'm guessing your real life sucks so bad that you...

bumping this incase someone else knows...

How did you get the arms to show up right like that?

With the mapping experience I have (tons of doom and half-life mapping plus ut2k4 and some other games) I know that maps are made with multiples of 8 units in mind. I've been trying to get my snap to grid function working in max so I can build in a more bsp style for geometry and keep everything in ...

Trial and error?

FP = First Person. He means there is no weapon model that the player sees himself holding, only the model that other players see the player holding.

Anyone know where I can get the MC arms? Also how am I supposed to setup a first person weapon model. Should I include the arms or is there a different method?

Alright let me give you step by step what I've done to try and make a scenery model for my map. Then can someone please tell me what I'm not doing. I create the "data/scenery/test_scenery/" directory with models and bitmaps subdirectories. I make a cube called "model" and link it...

How would I get the skin to be applied ingame? I mean how do I get the model to know what .bitmap file to apply to it? Is it in the naming of the materials in max or what? I have seen 0 information on how this is done and I've looked around everywhere.

Ok anyway... I've gotten the 3rd person model to work although I can't figure out how to get the skin to show up. Also I can't figure out how I'm supposed to position the weapon for the first person view and how big it's supposed to be compared to the 3rd person version. Right now I see nothing in t...

Ok arguing isn't helping at all. How about someone tell me how to import a model into the game and I'll make a set of energy sword tags for people to use with their maps.

Ya that is the correct plasma sword and it looks alright but the first person model needs to be higher poly. If someone could make a tutorial on how tags work maybe I'd make a high poly version to use.

Do I have to make a map to add the tag into the map or can I use an original map.

Well all you really needa do is import the model and give it its properties to use ingame but i have no idea at all how to do that. I just started learning basic stuff yesterday and I managed to export a map and almost get it to compile.

I haven't been around here much lately but I noticed these tools came out. So the question is, has anyne figured out how to make a new weapon, for example the plasma sword?

Ya I have version 5.0 and it fails to initialize for me too. Any idea what I should do?

But when you import it the UV maps are not switched to the "comments" system that the game uses. So your UV changes just don't show up.

Does it actually work? Half of those screenshots are you holding it out infront like some kind of shield...

I explained how RIGHT underneath that. Please read more carefully.

That has got to be one of the worst screenshots I have ever seen.
