new weapons Created 18 years ago2006-05-31 20:21:38 UTC by The Jezzanator

is there a way to make new weapons and use them in the game? And if so how?

You need to be able to model and code. The first's not too hard ? see our XSI tutorials ? but coding is a fair bit trickier.

If you want to do a weapon in XSI, have a look at these tutorials:

Colt 1911 (I'm currently following this tutorial to learn weaponmodeling)

And if you want to animate it later, you could have a look at
BJ's animation tutorial

But first of all.
If you want XSI (which is free and good)
You should go HERE and download Mod tool V4.2.
And then download the Valve source add-on.
But remember that you have to register your XSI to be able to save!

I must share some views...I have used XSI for a while and I find it rather easy to use once you follow a few tutorials...Others may suggest 3DS Max which isn't free but I believe it is more professional plus if your used to designing on graphic design programs like Pro Desktop then 3DS is for you because 3DS was developed and evolved from the CAD / CAM designing programs...

Thanks guys. Modelling isn?t that hard for me. Been doing it for years. Coding on the other hand?

Yeah.
I've tried editing the source-code to make room for weapons before.
But I always get some missing file error, weird.
