Old Models / New Reload Animations

l0tus

<div class="IPBDescription">...integrating the two.</div> ive got two old·school marine models with those smartgun animations (one of daphistos marines + default HA), and skins that i've pieced together to suit my own tastes...and they're pretty much the only models i'll ever end up using. problem is, 3.0F introduced those new reload animations that cause these guys to go into a seizure during those missing animations. im wondering if someone could lay out how i can integrate these new moves into my older models, or better yet, do it for me. i'd appreciate your help, either way. <b>PM me for the models</b>, as i dont want to post/distribute them publically. thanks in advance-

Open the 3.0f soldier.mdl's .qc, as well as the .qc of your model.

In your .qc, look at the bottom to find this part:

In the default's .qc, the bottom part is

Note the differences?

Well, if the model you use is even older than the beta when they introduced the reload animations for the LA you have to look for the lines that change. Then just copy the sequence .smds from the default LA/HA models into the appropriate folder of your LA/HA model.

So in short:
(1) Clean up your .qc's.
(2) Copy the appropriate .smd's from the defaults
(3) Compile
