I'm ashamed to admit that I've ripped from Sandtrap Race to get a plasma pistol

But here's the thing. The thing in 3P doesn't look like a halo 3 plasma pistol. It looks like a halo 1 plasma pistol. When I pick it up, in FP it looks like a halo 3 plasma pistol.

So, I tried opening the .weapon, looked into the gbx model, and it was a halo 1 plasma pistol model. I tried changing it to halo3 fp.gbx model, saved, and recompiled, and it gave me all these errors.

So, I just reset the halo 3 plasma pistol directory, and am still stuck with this dilemma. Anyone want to give a helping hand?

Open the FP model and copy the shaders to the 3P model, but you might want to copy\paste a new 3p GBXmodel.

No need to be ashamed for ripping from an intentionally unprotected map

Its ok to rip. Trust me I do it all the time
<-- Was ripping before easy ripping programs came out

I tried copy/pasting but it gave me an error:
04.10.11 17:00:26 the model 'halo3\weapons\plasma pistol\fp\fp' and the collision model 'weapons\plasma pistol\plasma pistol' don't match (node counts don't match)
04.10.11 17:00:26 the object 'halo3\weapons\plasma pistol\

plasma pistol' will not be collidable

Here's how it came out:

That shouldnt matter; it just means your weapon doesnt have a collision. (Guns and Grenades wont effect it)
Make sure in the .weapon that the bounding radius is 0.2.
If that doesnt work try increasing it; if that doesn't work then I'm all out of ideas.
Make Render Bounding Radious 360. Try it?

Thats what I usually do if I cant see something. If it still isn't appearing than you might have to wait for someone on this forum who specializes in something in this area

Good ol' days.

Tried render bounding radius 360, but it didn't work. It still looked like the pic above. However, when I used debug camera, here's a pic:

You are obviously using the FP model. I said use the 3P model. 3P model doesn't have the green electricity between the power nodes.

Maybe he didnt rip the 3p model

You don't need to rip it. It's the default Halo 1 plasma pistol model.

Hey guys, I changed the shaders, and it's looking a bit more H3 like. Thanks for the help!
