Compiled model positioning

Postby Goonie on Thu May 02, 2013 10:51 pm

I made a model that will replace sniper rifle in L4D 2. I got .qc file from the guy who compiled sniper rifle with it too. I changed a bit that .qc so it compile my model and find my textures, however Im getting problem like in pictures bellow. Weapon model is somehow positioned wrong.

Heres .qc file:

Are you editing this in a 3d package or just recompiling from .smd files? This would be easiest to rectify in a 3d package since you could just rotate and reposition the model relative to the bones and (hopefully) that would fix it.

If you want to go about it the hard way, you're going to have to fiddle with the $origin line in your .qc to move it, and rotate it on the z axis - https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$origin

Although it looks to me like your model is on its side? In that case you're going to need to rotate around more than just the z axis, I recommend you get it into a 3d program to fix it. If you use blender I can help, not sure about the rest.

I will try to change the origin like you said and also the rotation on atachments. I will give an answer later if it help.

I changed model positions in 3d modeling program to same position as original from game and thirdpeson view now work, however in firstperson, model is missing. I cheked original model and it worked in game, but with my model dissapear.

Er.. Source uses separate models for first person and thirdperson/the player model.

I used difirent models for firstperson and thirdperson view. I mean I changed the position in 3d modeling program. Problem is that firstperson model is in the same position as original model was and it doesnt work in game.

You have to make sure it's rigged to the bones properly. If you move it in your 3d program you have to move it relative to the armature so that the whole bone structure isn't moved. It's a bit complex but there are tutorials out there for viewmodels.

Well acording to "Compiling L4D2 First-Person Weapon Models" tutorial on some site, theres no need for that Black_stormy.
