newbie here (probably a dumb question) Created 13 years ago2011-05-19 10:16:25 UTC by Priest

Hi im new to the site and new to mapping. Ive been racking mx brains and searching google for days now. I really want to put a sniper rifle into my HL1 map is this possible or am i just wasting my time. im not using steam by the way. thanks in advance.

Hai priest!

If you still get stuck, you could also decompile cs_bank and see how they did there 50cal (i think it was bank..)

Is it a CS map maybe?

Sorry I think I might not have been clear I dont mean a static like the 50 cal I mean a rifle I can pick up and carry like in opfor. Thanks anyway tho. I just thought maybe i should install cs and map what im trying for that.

You cant have weapons from different games.

You could just make an opfor map though. Nothing REALLY changes between them.

Course, that might not be possible. Just a thought though.

ya no.. sorry.

Stojke: could you just use a model/sound replacement for say, the crossbow? (since the crossbow pretty much behaves like a sniper rifle)

A sniper rifle with exploding bolts?

Unfortunately, there's no way to do this without custom code. I think there's a few tutorials out on the web on how to add a sniper rifle to HL1, but it involves getting down and dirty with some C++ programming.

You could try to use CapT's model-switching trick, but it's a bit dodgy and you won't get the expected behaviour of a sniper rifle.

I tried searching for a model replacement on gamebanana, but fuck me if i couldn't find the forum search! I browsed through skins and could only find a crossbow replacement for HL2. =(

PB: You'd only be able to use the coded Sniper weapon in SP, correcto?

Correct, CapT.

ok thanks im just tryin to make a wholly unoriginal sp zombie survival map and thought a sniper rifle would be cool
