Making custom guns for hl Created 20 years ago2003-12-18 22:42:42 UTC by Caleb Henning

how do oyu make custom guns for half-life

use Milkshape to make the model, then Im stumped after that...

Very very hard must kno 3d modeling and all that. But if u do download the Half-Life SDK (Standard Developer Kit) theres heaps of info in there

Same here, BrattyLord!

Heh, if you want it to do anything other than the precoded stuff in the game.. you'll need to learn C++ too

Yeah... First you have to download the Full Half Life SDK (The game code) and there you have c++ files for everything. In one of them there are the weapons... You can "easily" change the amount of ammo and damage and so on, then you compile and... Implement it.
To make a new weapon you can take the code of one of them (for example, my beloved Glock pistol) and change things here and there (of course you can change the models)...
Anyway, it?s a hard lot so good luck!.

can't you just take the c++ files, modify them for your weapon and then make it so your weapon then uses those files?

just

need I say more?

Yes,

This is often looked at like something easy to learn and get the hang of.. its not,

I don't recomend diving into new code etc untill you know exactly what you're at

'just' is an eeevil word

'just' is an eeevil word

So is Sitcom

but atleast just means it can be done rather than never which is worse.

wait a second ppl. wut r u saying caleb? do you want to change the gun MODEL or do you want to change the guns STATS. because if you want to replace the gun model, then all you have to do is make a model for the gun on ground, the gun in your hands, and the gun in somebody else's hand. then name them the same as the mdl's you want to replace (gunname_w is on the ground, gunname_p is in your hand, gunname_v is in somebody else's hand), and then just... replace them.

now, yea, if you want that crowbar that was turned into a table leg to do 200,000,000 points of damage in one hit, then you might as well make a MOD, too.

Gun making is a topic we've seen often. Search the forums.

yep amby you shoudl chekc some sites specif on making gun mdl's

tell me about half-life SDK

Thanks for all the help... i'll see what i can come up w/
