[Help] Custom models

first let me let you get the nerd gasm out of your system at the fact that this now exists

that crossbow sniper is from Half-Life 2. figured out how to convert it to smd to open in 3ds max and export to lta and make the full lta with all animations (except theres no sprint animation, gonna have to be custom)

anyway...what i need to know
do the names of the nodes actually matter? because in game the cross bow doesn't show up

this is what happens in game

i know it isn't just the crossbow because the custom pistol i made doesn't show up either

Wow interesting, and

lvl 25 pikachu. ROFL

Custom models are made from scratch? lol. Most likely its because its a cross game mod and some crossgame mods dont work...

ok.....

and I changed some names of custom model to the names of the M9 knife, and mine worked. I think its a combination of model naming, and how well it syncs with the game. Have you checked animation frame rate?

Hmm good idea. I tried renaming nodes. But didn't work. I don't see why it wouldn't work.if it shows in model edit

except model edit isn't the best program.

this is true...it could show there and then look completely different in game. I've had it happen before >.>

but so far i've checked these things
Node renaming
animation's names (just checked to make sure i didn't screw up)
internal radius check (96 just like almost everything else in CA)
Animation Interpolation

here is the model information

Wow it would be epic to have an corssbow

I dont have any idea how custom models work, too bad

Nodes do matter. Thats the only way, unless you wanna rip a premade animation. But i doubt there are any animations in CA even REMOTELY similar to the crossbows. :/ goodluck.

Figured. This is gonna be fun xD

i think u have to translation it to a different place i saw the flash at the bottom

The flash is the flash socket activating...I added it like other guns

Did you read my vm? I suggest just renaming it to another premade animation and just renaming the l_tb as that. Time consuming, but thats the only way I could think the engine would read it.
