Is it possible to take one of the weapons in the game and change its placment on the screen? I figure you would need a 3d editor, just woundering if anyone knew how to do that?

#2

If I’m correct, I think you can change the field of view in the console, if that’s what you’re talking about.

#3

I found this.

It looks like you have to know C++, unfortunately.

#4

You only need to code if you want to use Ironsights to aim.
If he wants them all the time, only model edits are required- you’ll need to reorient or redo the animations.

thanks a lot pyro, thats deffinately a start, though im not sure where to start in that regard, what file do i edit those changes into. they list a bunch of files but i have no idea where to get them concerning this mod.

I thought those were the files that open up when you start your own mod with the SDK, but I have no idea how to get them out of a allready packaged mod.

but as for just the original question, i was talking simply about editing the weapons origin, to be more in the center (ie half life 1).

#6

you want to re-origin the weapon v_models. This can be done by opening the animations for them in whatever software you’re using.

There’s likely a million in-depth tutorials for this on gamebanana.

#7

cant this be done just by fiddling wth the qc file?

#8

whats the QC file?

BTW, thanks up there, ill try and figure out how to do that in a 3d program if i can find a good free one…

…but hey if i can edit it in c++ or something and skip having to bother, thats probably even better.

#9

blender is the only free one out there
