Thanks for the detailed info Spike. I'm still reading (and re-reading) it, till it all sinks in.

More specifically, without explicitly asking for it in csqc with deltalisten, or using SendEntity in ssqc, csqc *DOES NOT* know about the entity, and the engine won't spawn any csqc ents for it"

Does ...

Ok I thought I had the basic idea of how CSQC works, but I'm struggling to understand the relationship between these two snippets of code:

Code A:
In CSQC_Init() we process a player entity:
// "everytime an entity using player.mdl comes into view, send that entity to the function updateplayer ...

Brilliant, LOVE it, thanks!

You're welcome . Hopefully, by taking out the guesswork, the guide will encourage modelers to get back into it, focusing their (precious) time on the creative stuff.

it was a try and catch method(I said earlier). I tried every possible angle in Blender and I tried it then in game. After a lots of attempts I found that THAT angle was the only that aligned weapon correctly in the hand of player.

Ok, by 'try and catch', I'm assuming you mean 'trial and error ...

Then I found that the correct angle was diagonal, pointing towards hand. Ok, what do you mean when you say you 'found' that the correct angle was diagonal? Maybe it's a language issue (mi scusi), but 'found' implies guesswork/accident - rather than a reliable method. Or have I misunderstood you ...

Hi guys,

I've been reading your posts (over and over) and at this point, I'm not sure if we're still talking about

A: How to position the model in Blender so that it appears in the qc correctly without needing adjustments, or:
B: How to modify the self.angles code to incorporate/compensate for ...

Spike: Thanks for all the detailed info. I'll be studying what you wrote really carefully.. it might take a while to sink in. I'm hoping links such as these will get my basic understanding up to scratch:
1. A great basic inrtoduction/definition of World space and model space .
2. Unfortunately I ...

I tried opening Blender, putting the players right hand at '0 0 0', and then positioning the VWEP, but back in Quake (after attaching the grip to the hand in qc) it was *still* not connecting at the right angle.
origin != angles...
Yea, that was poorly phrased..... what I meant is that even after ...

Note: for clarity, I'll be referring to 'the place on the VWEP where the right hand is supposed to connect' as the 'Grip'.

Maybe I do not understand what you're trying to do but.. why do you want to attach weapon directly in Blender? I mean, I consider weapon an entity. Full stop. An entity that ...

Hey guys.

by vwep, onemanclan means visible weapons - as in weapons that are visible on other players. he does not mean view weapons/models that are visible only to yourself.

Yea, thanks for pointing that out toneddu2000, I assumed VWEP was a 'standard term'' for 'the weapon you see on *other ...

Cool vid, though I didn't have time to watch it all the way through. I feel like I missed a big piece of gaming culture since I never really played much TF. I think I'd just be holding my team back if I played now.

Nahhh, the more the merrier! :D

We play every Saturday+Sunday, 23:00 GMT ...

Hi all.

[EDIT: 'VWEP' is short for ''visible weapon'. It refers the weapon you see in *other* players hands. I'm not sure if it's the 'standard jargon', because I didn't see any definitions anywhere they have been discussed. More info (but no definition) here ]


Rather than getting into long ...

[UPDATE August 2019: Blender 2.8 is here, so 'things have changed'. I'm still figuring it out, but I *think* you need to use the nodes editor. Also you need to get an updated iqm exporter from here
