Can somebody explain to me why a model and it's animation would have different node checksums?
Because they're happening right now and it's getting really annoying.

It happens to me all the time. I have no idea what causes it but it's an easy fix. Whether you know how to fix it or not, I'll post the solution here for anyone who doesn't:

First you will need Kornman00's modified gurilla.

Open your gbxmodel and model_animations file. Next, in your model_animations file scroll all the way to the bottom until you find a section called animations, node list checksum should be the 6th one down from that. Copy and paste that number into the node list checksum box at the top of the gbxmodel.

Edit: Waffles beat me to it

I moved the node checksum from the model into the animation, but the weapon still wouldn't show up. Or fire. Or much less be actually in my hands.

E: And yeah, I'm using bluestreak.

E2: Redid the stuff. Still different node checksums. So no model. Even if I change it, no model. :(

If it's first person, something is not matching up in either the weapon or the FP arms in your animations. Make sure that both the FP arms and FP weapon model have the exact same nodes as your animations.

You should move the nodelist checksum from the animation into the model, not model into animation.

They do. I double checked.


At first I moved the animation into model, but that wouldn't work, so I tried model into the animation, but that wouldn't either.

E: What I wanna know is, what is it that makes this happen?

E2: ...should I just scrap and make a new origin with a new model.

Ok, I'll have to just redo my animations then. :/
And how would the nodes and markers be messed up?

If I made an animation, took out the FP arms and left only the FP model, exported, that model should work with the animation, right?

What do you mean by took out the fp arms and left only the fp model? You cant remove any nodes or bones

To get the fp.gbxmodel, I took out the FP weapon from the animations and exported it.

Compiled the animations.

Did you take out the weapon bones and nodes as well? That's probably why.

no I left in the weapon nodes and markers.

Then I don't know why.

Grr, this is getting on my nerves. I can't even get the weapon ingame! :(

E: Oh my GOD. I think I know what's wrong. Let me check.

E2: Yup, I was right... Recently Cheddars gave me the Noble Six. Since I was using sentinel weapon tag from containment, of course the Noble Six wouldn't be able to pick it up. I had to swap Noble 6's character animations with Ziga's and it worked.

I can't believe I'm so stupid to not realize this.. gosh..
Sorry for the troubles and thanks to everyone that helped.

E3: I don't suppose this is the thread for it, but... in the weapon, it looks as if the laser is shooting from under the weapon. How would I fix this to make it from the barrel?
