ya, i've figured that much out, but how the hell did he get it be visible in 1st person? whenever i swap the plaasma rifle fp model with energy sword, the textures are skewered everywhere

swapping models or injecting?

actually, ppsmakesmehigh on hackhalo.com did this, there is no first person model for the plasma sword, he created one from known pics....that is all. he makes it sound so simple.

Are you saying he just tapered out the plasma rifle's fp model to make it look like a plasma sword?

he either injected a model, swaped or rebuilt

i think he used bits of many models to shape them into the existing model, or he just made a new one.

Hmm. You need to create new meta obviously. Does anyone know of a meta converter or something? Once there is a meta converter, you could just remake weapons.

So, with a Meta Converter, you would make a PC Model something like weapons\energy sword\fp\fp and then rebuild the map with that. Then just import it with an Energy Sword model. I'm not sure if that'd work, but it sounds like it would.

There is no weapons\energy sword\fp\fp in any of the maps. So, batch extracting will get you nowhere... You can only extract what is already done.

save meta, and inject then
i still don't get what you meant by meta converter...

what i think is he swapped the plasma rifle's model with an energy sword and nulled its projectile.

Firon · Post by **Firon** » Sat Dec 20, 2003 12:15 pm

Actually, I think he used the Plasma Rifle also because of the blue light thing that he says. Plasma Rifle is the only weapon I know of that uses the blue light.

save meta, and inject then

If you look in any map that has Energy Sword, there won't be a weapons\energy sword\fp\fp in PC Models. I think the fp stands for First Person, therefore, it's the First Person model which is how you will be able to make it show up.

So, the only way to make weapons\energy sword\fp\fp show up in PC Models list is to make a new meta that has it.

no, you could just use the regular model in fp, if youve looked at any of the other fp models, they are all almost exactly the same

Firon · Post by **Firon** » Sat Dec 20, 2003 12:45 pm

Yah, but my theory is that the game looks for the first person model of a weapon at weapons/(name of weapon)/fp/fp. I know they're almost the same. Since the first person model can't be found, it shows nothing. Which is my theory, I'm not exactly sure if I'm right though.

Do you think what that guy on hackhalo did was to extract the third person PS model, and then inject it into the place of the plasma rifle fp model? That would save him any modeling, for sure.
