I need somebody who can use gmax or 3ds max to help me.

I have these two weapons I made (below) and some gmax models.

I have several problems with them.

1.neither make a sound and i'm not sure why
2.the 1st gun's light is wacked up
3.several parts of the second gun are missing

I cant help as much as i would like but did you study another similar weapon in guerilla? and did you import another similar weapon into Max and study it?

the first gun is not based of of anyithing it's just a bunch of cyllinders and boxs. I gave it the assault rifle tag, but when i switched the projectile sound it did nothing

the second has the right side of the scope, tripod (which was turned into a bipod), the rifle barrels tip, and butt of the original halo sniper. it has the sniper rifle tag but i didn't edit much.


I'm not looking for help, I am looking for someone who can make modes (because I suck at doing it) for a campaign remake I'm doin

If you want someone to do it for you, you have to give them a good reason why. People won't drop in randomly, and give you free models. In today's world, everyone's asking the same question. What's in it for me?

As for your problem, it might have to do with the animations. When I began working with fp animations, there was this node called "#flashlight". I'm pretty sure that's where the light comes from.

The problem with parts of your gun is simple. When you exported the jms in gmax, your object must have been set to editable poly. Convert the mesh to editable mesh and re-export the jmx. Never export in editable poly, unless using blitzkrieg.

okay i tried that it and the parts showed up.

I fixed the #flashlight node problem, when i shrunk the node in gmax the node had moved a little

do I have to setup nodes for sounds with my gun?

I don't think so. I may be mistaken, but I believe the sounds are done in guerilla.

Sound references are added in Guerilla.

For the sound problem you reference a .sound tag in the firing effect (which can be found in the .weapon tag)
For the missing parts, in max, before exporting, convert it to an editable patch then back to an editable mesh and then export. That should fix it.
