The second arm is less important, but coming in from the side is still just stupid.

P.S. what did you do to get the model in the game looking right? How did you get the orientation, size, etc correct? How do you place the location of the muzzle fire?
Well, really all i did was convert the original ar15 to 3ds and use it as a size reference. then when i was done modelling the new one i moved my version over the old one as best i could. aligned the pivot point to the original and merely delete the old model. This leaves the muzzle flash and shell ejection cubes to be ever so slightly tweaked so they're in the correct position. and away you go!
just export (i've noticed problems with placement using "export selected") as 3ds and reconvert to bin.
easy as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!

seeing as though i'm copping alot of flak for not keeping true to the original i think it would be best to keep the laser pistol out when it is... as this is the exact position and approximately the same size as the original.
in regards to the ar15...that was my remodelled version... its much closer shape-wise to the original ar15... and the missing angularity was commented on, so i made it more angular and less round. i need to know where everyones hearts lie... shall i make it look like an actual ar15... (which looks pretty much nothing like the original ss2 assault rifle. or make something based on the shape of the ss2 varient. (strangely enough i always thought that the ss2 ar15 looked very chunky and unfuturistic.
Opinions please!

Is it posssible for you to add hands to some of the weapons that had none, like the shotgun? Are you going as far as animating better too? Because reload animations would rock.

They don't work.

SS2 doesn't have reload animations, and the gun arms are statis objects, not jointed meshes.
It would require a lot of ShockEd trickery to get them to work, if it's even possible.

Agreed, it would look awesome with animations but it would be much to hard for my un-cybernetically enhanced brain to cope with, í imagine it would involve a lot of scripting or re-coding things that i have no idea about...
maybe if i research!? anyone got any Sodium? :cheeky:

Hrm.. For the Laser/Plasma Pistol, one handed makes sense, unless its got a really heavy battery or something else that would make it difficult to support with one arm. As for the actaul pistols, the talon might need 2 hands, though this might not be necesary since Goggles has had military training. (And, hopefully, in better physcial conidtion then I happen to be..)

I thougth the pistol had a "reload" state, which you could simply enable in DromED? (TF's mod didn't do that anyway?)
