... them spin around slowly. But vanilla Quake does not provide a way to bestow this rotation on any arbitrary entity from qc. An example would be a vwep model that doubles as a pick-up model. This was my original need, but the idea can be expanded to all model flags with DP_SV_MODELFLAGS_AS_EFFECTS. ...

Tutorial worked well, used it to see OrionTF vwep support correctly.

If the engine already has dpextensions, just go to char *pr_extensions[] in pr_cmds.c and add "DP_SV_NODRAWTOCLIENT" and "DP_SV_DRAWONLYTOCLIENT"

... float indexa1, float indexa2, string modelb, float indexb1, indexb2); As a modder, I can see a lot of potential for such builtin. Not only for vwep support, but to create random monsters on the fly, or random weapons/artifacts from different parts (great for a RPG-style mod). Of course, welding ...

Frame vertex 182 and 183 are two vertexes in the Q1 player model's non-weapon hand when he is using the axe. Frame vertex 182 is where I'd like to do an attachment test (make him hold a bag or something, hehe). I'm lacking imagination but any ideas on ... 1) how I can get the X, Y, Z values of verte...

... to support timed missions with count downs visible to the user. R00k's example qc code appears to suggest this is a ProQuake only feature? 4. Vwep. A universal method using q1 model. The "Feral" mod has an interesting way, but it is QuakeC based attachment. Would allow player and ...

Can't you just check for the required engine support via DP_CHECKEXTENSION and disable/adapt the vwep ? So the mod could be used in any engine in a transparent way ?

yeah, I've been busy with irl stuff. I still want vwep to be more vastly used in the quake community

... .nodrawtoclient. Then you can make the model invisible to the user when he's in first person view. For standard quake, the player will see the vwep. Maybe that won't be bad if the weapon and view_ofs are positioned properly, though. Edit: Though you also have to worry about the effects of lag ...

... Boomstick - iD Software (made from g_shot.mdl, and additional surplus parts of g_shot.mdl) Particle Cannon - Steady (this was actually from the vwep he made for avirox's TF mod I believe, I got permission to make a v_model out of it directly from Steady and avirox) Stakegun - iD Software / Dr. ...

... weapon and not the player... hell even use client colors to change the colormap if you wanted. If you're playing first-person, then combine that vwep feature with .viewmodelforclient on a second model. Then you can do the same effects on the player's view weapon, and it looks damn cool. A bright ...

No screenshots, but I have an automatic vwep generator under way. Will probably take 2 weeks [4 weeks if unlucky] to complete since it has to share time with all my other projects. Basically, I have a model loader almost done and I'm going to ...

... take a bit to do. I noticed this player model holds the gun the whole time, if there will be effort into a real mod..I will most definitely make a vwep for it! I've got the same player model where Lardarse renamed all the frames somewhere. Yeah you are right, I'd rather have a GPL gun ... I'll ...

The Gauss cannon is just fine. But feel free to make a generic sci-fi weapon by your own design if you prefer. As I said, the mod won't have vwep support so is up to you which weapon to add.
