hi, I was wondering how the guys over at CMT added new weapons to the backpack script. I have tried in Guerilla but everything is grayed out. Anyone know how?

Theres a download on this website that makes it so you can. BUT its the default weapons.

uh, NO DUH! I have that I was wondering how u put in new weapons!!

he mustve thought you were less of a noob.

No he still is one. To add more weapons I know you cant do it so its pointless to say how to.

uh, ya there is, if CMT can do it on Snowgrove then someone can do it

I didnt say it cant be done.

ha I caugt u before u edited ha! u said I couldn't do it! what do you think I am the worlds biggest noob? I have made 13 maps. Tell me how to put in more weapons and I will. !(@!^&!)^&!)^&!&^&!^&!

you can somehow swich what weapons are on the script (no idea how)

but you can't add more weapon types to spawn then already do as they maxed out something on the biped or script. Don't know the details but it's something like that.

Wait... doesn't this also involve permutations with the biped model? because you cant add new weapons to the permutation without modeling it first in max, so, basically, you cant add a noobinator 5000 to the back of the MC just by script, you also have to model it, right?

wait, can I just make a clone of that script with different weapons and name it backpack_script2?

Hey CtrlAltDestroy a little help here?

yeah haha good luck getting help from him. tell me if you understand this: you need to add a new model permutation to the cyborg and add the weapon in so its actually part of the model. the script switches between those permutations depending on what weapon you have. i dont care about the backpack weapons becuase personally, i think its just a waste of time for something that looks cool.

just to let you know, you are excessively rude. and to think your asking for peoples help ! i would think that you wouldn't flame people to death for trying to help you. backpack weapons are very complicated and i will not even try them. i know how to do them, hence the info i gave you, but it seems like alot of work and time that i just dont feel like putting into it.

ok, yeah I kinda understand, but I have gmax, can gmax export bipeds? and didn't CtrlAltDestroy say he maxed out the shader models or something?

oh... yeah that could be a problem... i dont think you are allowed to have enough shaders to do all the custom weapons. to install though, you need to import a rigged and textured model of the chief and the needler and rig the needler to the chief biped. its waaaay to much work then i feel like doing since you need to do 5 permutations for each weapon.

ok, umm, just tell me how to set up the permutations and I think I can do it, and how am I "excessively rude"?

regions and premutations. there are 2 regions, and then premuation for each weapon. the script changes the premutation of the back region.


just take all weapons with similar shineyness and stuff and merge the bitmaps together, like make a 1024x512 sheet with the plasma rifle, plasma pistol bitmaps, and another one for the multi.. then simply select the model, UV wrap, slightly change it so it goes onto the side of the bitmap that controls its texture, tada. you could slip AR and shotguntogether aswell since they arnt that shiney or anything.. mb even the RL aswell. Then you'll have 1 shader for multiple weapons, tada.

so, uh how do you change the permutations and how do you merge bitmaps?

making all those sound kinda sick lol

what?
