Weapon Models

Abstract

This article is a guideline for creating weapon model modifications.

Sample Configuration

md3.cfg

md3load tris_high.md3
md3skin weapon skin_weapon.jpg
md3skin hands skin_hands.jpg
md3anim "gun idle" 0 2 2
// "gun shoot" and "gun shoot2" are deprecated!
md3anim "gun reload" 3 17
// do NOT call md3emit on tag_eject or tag_aimpoint; only call on tag_muzzle
md3emit tag_muzzle 10 50 75

Tags

• tag_muzzle
  • This is where the muzzle flash goes!
• tag_aimpoint
  • The engine translates to this location upon aiming with the sights
• tag_eject
  • This is where all the shells come out of

Meshes (surfaces/groups)

md3skin <your part> "skin_<name>.jpg"

Animation

md3anim "*" index length speed

NOTE: index is zero-based.

Currently, the following animations are supported for weapons:

• gun idle
  • one second from non-ads to ADS (make speed equal to length)
  • you can shoot and scope now, but you cannot animate the shots.
• gun shoot
  • during the shot, such as a shotgun pump, or idle
  • NO LONGER USED!!!
• gun shoot2
  • during the shot if sights are used, usually idle in ads
  • NO LONGER USED!!!
• gun reload
  • self explanatory...
