Knife model

(TimOOn) #1

Hi,
I’ve got a few problems/questions about replacing a knife model in ET.
It seems everything should be ok. I made a new knife model in Milkshape, textured it and created two files knife.md3 and v_knife_barrel.md3. After this only first person view was working correctly, so I chenged name of knife.md3 model and corrected third person info in knife.weap. Now both models look fine but when I throw a knife it becomes invisible. I also cant see it when it’s lieing on the ground. Could you please tell me what am i doing wrong?

One more thing. I can’t figure out what v_knife_heand.md3 model is for. There is an animation inside but I cant see it neither in Milkshape nor in Q3 Model Tool.

for throwing knifes you have to look how its done in the mod you ll make your knife for -each mod is little bit diffrent…

the
v_knife_hand.md3
contains only the animation - that is correct
the are just tags inside and the models connect there - the knife and the hand for example
all weapons got such a file - most have more tags…
the models are called with the .weap file
