 Re: Changing weapon models
Posted by half-dude on Sat Jan 29th at 5:17am 2005

Hey all,

I'm not to far into Xenophobia that I've decided to make the mod center around Adrien Sheperd (I know I spelled it wrong) instead of Gordon but to do that I have to change the gun arm to the one from OP4. I got the model extracted and in my mod folder with the same name as the weapon in HL1. I also have it so that after it compiles it starts the map in my mod -game xeno I beleve It is. But it still dosent work what should I do to get the effect I want?

Put it in Half-Life/xeno/models folder and it should work. [addsig]

If its still using the default HL gun models, either you didnt extract them right or youre not running your mod.

How are you running the game? What command line? Exactly what folder did you extract your models to? Does your mod have a liblist.gam, and is that setup correctly?

Im running Worldcraft compile with +map $file -console -dev -game spirit -game xeno

so I'm trying to play it right through the editer.

Im using Spirit of Half-life if that makes a differents. Im not using a pak file but that will probibly change. Plus I have the model in xeno/models/z_9mmhandgun.mdl.

Did you even read that command line? Youre trying to run 2 mods simultaneously, which cant be done. HL is only picking up the first game you specified, Spirit. Get rid of the -game spirit and it will work. Of course youll probably then need to copy the spirit DLL files over to your mod, if you havent done so already. [addsig]

I have a new problem, I deleted the part of my command line -game spirit. but then when I compile it dose launch my game mod but it stays at the console saying this:

execing hw/geforce.cfg

execing valve.rc

execing language.cfg

execing config.cfg

"sv_aim" changed to "0.000000"

Adding: xen/dlls/spirit.dll

Dll loaded for mod spirit of half-life

execing skill.cfg

map change failed: "lab1" not found on server.

Sys_Intialize GameDLL called twice,

skipping second call

map change failed: "lab1" not found on server

execing config.cfg

As you can see it's not finding the lab1.map in my mods folder. I even checked and it IS in "xeno/maps/lab1" so what gives?

P.S I even included the compile log for you below I doubt it will help though.

You do realize that you aren't copying the file over, right? At least it isn't in your compile log. Add a copy command in your compile log right before it launches the map. [addsig]

Your compile log ... the one that you just posted.

There should be a Copy command right there before the hl.exe execution. It isn't copying over the newly compiled map before you boot it ... meaning you have to manually copy it over ... this should be obvious if you're making a mod of any kind. And the final runable map is a BSP ... you keep saying it's a *.map ... just pointing it out. [addsig]

If you are launching your game with

hl.exe -game spirit +map lab1

then your BSP should be in your spirit/maps folder. If you want to make your own game based off SoHL, I suggest copying the folder half-life/spirit and creating an identical half-life/xeno. Then start your game with

hl.exe -game xeno +map lab1

with your BSP in the xeno/maps folder.

Why don't you just make the map in OP4? It would save you a TON of trouble.

Just add a copy in the batch file
copy pathtomap.bsp half-lifexenomap.bsp
That's all.

Sorry, but I don't understand any of that. BTW This is what always irks me, there are so many little things like this that arn't explained nor mentioned in tutorials. So how are new mappers sopposed to know what to do? Live on the editing forms like me?

I think you need to understand what a batch file is. Try Google.

Ok I googled and found this site

http://www.computerhope.com/batch.htm

I did what it said but I have no idea what this has to do with the editer or what to do next. Becides I already manually copied the bsp to my mod's map folder and have one in my valve map folder. But the problem is that the OP4's hand is not appearing in my map even though the model is in my c:/sierra/halflife/xeno/models folder ok?

BTW, is this what you are talking about

http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials&game=HL&id=103

If it is, why use a batch file to compile when couldent you use ZHLT?
