Custom Weapons and Entities Created 12 years ago2012-04-10 20:07:31 UTC by Sir Frohman

How could I add custom weapons to my half-life mod? Specifically I want the wrench from opposing force, but with barney arms.

Also, how would I get the item_helmet and item_armorvest entities found in blue shift?

To add custom content such as that, you will need to code it in. Not sure where you'd start with that other than learning C++.

Also, to transfer the wrench the Barney's hands, you will need to edit the model. Again, you'll have to learn modelling for that, or at least model hacking.

If you're lucky you'll be able to find someone willing to do it for you but it wouldn't hurt to try for yourself if you want to get into modding.

You'd need to code them into the game, and you'd also need to do a model hack for the wrench model that changes the arms. Alternatively, you could abandon the wrench and map for Blue Shift specifically. I think there's a FGD around somewhere...
Ninja'd, but I have the goods! The FGD for Blue Shift is available here.

it is possible to fake the armorvest/helmet by replacing the battery with one of them in the mod. However, if you want both, and/or want new weapons, you need to know how to code.

Alright, thanks.

@JeffMOD, I got the wrench working. But I'd rather map for half-life. Thanks anyways.

You're welcome, and I'm glad to hear you have the wrench working fine. Have fun!

Should you need the models, I remember ispitatel 1 or 2 having an op4 pipewrench with scientist arms (which you can reskin to blue). Anything else you need feel free to ask!
