Mounted gun problem on custom tank model

(pazur) #1

Hi Everyone,

I have trouble with my tank model and the mounted gun. It’s not firing in the right direction.

I read this thread here (http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2703) and it seems that a “tag” file is needed.

I have no clue what needs to go into the tag file and the download link to the tag exporter tool from the thread is dead: http://simland.planetquake.gamespy.com/files/md3totag.zip

Could someone upload the tool and explain to me in a few words how to use it (to make the mounted gun on my tank work)?

Screenshot of the problem. Notice that the gun does NOT fire straight forward:

I stopped working on my map Adlerhorst for about year (Screens are here: http://www.geocities.com/pazurmapping/adlerhorst_gal.htm) mainly because I had trouble with all the tank stuff and not enough time to play around with it. I would really like to give it another try and finish the map (and the tank). :slight_smile:

Here is a lovely screenshot of the tank I’m talking about:

Here’s the file you’re looking for, Original Readme included, thanks again Digibob for making this:

md3totag.rar

All you need to do is put the .exe in the same folder as your .md3 and execute it. It will create a .tag file for every .md3 in the folder.
