Modeling - Next step Created 15 years ago2009-08-01 12:32:07 UTC by freyyr890

So I finished modeling a Beretta. My question: what's the next step for getting it in-game?

Because it's going to be a third person mod, I tried extracting p_glock.mdl, decompiled it, replaced the pistol in there with mine, then recompiled it. I put it in my models/ folder. But when I load the game, I'm still seeing the original glock in 3rd person. What do I need to do?

Shit, thats pretty good for the first go

You have three models for weapons: p_(name), v_(name), and w_(name). So in your case it would be: p_glock.mdl, v_glock.mdl and w_glock.mdl you'd have to replace. p_ is the weapon you see in the hands of other players in multiplayer, v_ is the first player view of the weapon, and w_ is the weapon alone - for when it just sits on the world waiting to be picked up.

Hope that helps

Indeed. V_<model> is what you want to replace.
V = View
P = Player
W = World

While the model is a good intro to modeling for HL, I'm tired of berettas everywhere.
Use your imagination, or at least model an HD glock.
Wish you luck on further endevours.

You should model a PPK.

Modified PPK. I know three men who use that weapon. I killed two.
