New Blaster: Small 'issue' with adding new weapon

[CATAHA]

Can anyone help me with adding new weapon model?
For test i maked new blaster model. I placed it correctly, so its ok in hands. But from 1st person view its looks very sad.



Yes, i know it need more detailed textures and stuff (just temporal textures now), but anyway... blaster_hands.md3 have no model. As far as i get, it contain model animation and offset of model from 1st person view. I wish move blaster a bit forward from point of view and closer to center of screen. Is there any easy way change this file? What should be there? Can i place different model (with hands for example) in this file? I need any help. Ye, i know that iGoggle way can help, but direct help always better. Thanx.

Instead of moving the gun to the center, move the eyes of the player to the right

The blaster_hand model is not the first person model, it is an empty model (i.e. no surfaces) that contains just a tag where the actual blaster model will be attached.

This means you can change the position by creating a new blaster_hand model where the tag is in a different position.

You could also create a different (e.g. more detailed) model for the 1st and 3rd person modes by altering the weapon.cfg file and specify separate weaponModel and weaponModel3rdPerson files.

gimhael, thanx for explaining. But how i can edit _hand.md3? MilkShape cant do anything with it. What should i use for make necessary changes to this file?

UPD: It cant parse weaponModel3rdPerson in weapon.cfg
