It was simply called vwep, and it only had all 8 original weapons. It required changing the actual player model and syncing animation state, but worked well enough that it was probably my most popular mod.

Ok, by 'try and catch', I'm assuming you mean 'trial and error'. Yeah that one :D . I was seeing it from a programming side ! :lol: As I've said, I also managed to find the 'perfect angle', but it was (like yourself) through trial and error. Cool! Glad to hear it. To be honest I don't know if there...

I mean, that, when player run, for example, or plays idle animation, right hand moves and rotates. Well, ...

... you? The weapon now stands correctly in arm and rotates when arm rotates. Perfect. Not sure what you mean by 'when arm rotates '. You mean the VWEP moves correctly when the player shoots? :? In any case, reading your post, I'm left wondering: how did you 'find' the correct angle'?

See if these screenshots can help you I use in Blender Numpad 3 as front view and Numpad 1 as side view (inverted) so it's oriented correctly in game http://s21.postimg.org/p7e1apakj/weapon_bone.jpg http://s1.postimg.org/5n7n0ffnf/correct_orientation.jpg http://s1.postimg.org/zdurm70mz/weapon.jpg

everything is relative. imagine you have a model with a vertex in blender. lets say the vertex is at '16 8 24' in blender's coordinate system. lets also say blender's coordinate system is friendly and matches quake. moving that coord into quake requires two transformations, but lets start with what ...

Great description Spike, very detailed, thanks a lot. setorigin(wep,gettaginfo(self, gettagindex(self,"hand.r"))); wep.angles = vectoangles(v_up, v_forward); Yeah, that did the trick, huge thanks! Odd enough, if I use weapon bone instead of hand bone, weapon doesn't align to bone. I delete...

not too long ago, onemanclan was asking just what the difference between a bone and a tag was, and why two names were being used (and not interchangably) for what he was told was exactly the same thing. basically the difference is in how you use it. a bone is some point inside the model with vertici...
