I am a total noob with custom editing, dispite my many years trying to work with it. Now I've made some considerable progress. But now I'm stuck.

You see, I've decided to work on a custom campaign, based on something I wished I had seen. (Halo CE ODST), and then I thought, well it is custom edition. Why not make it? But I've come into a problem very quick.

Because I am a noob, I do not know how to edit fp tags. I am using the default weapons set, but I have to change out the fp arms so that the weapons don't look like they are being held by the master chief. I know this is possible, I am just too dumb to understand it.

I've tried looking up tutorials, but I just end up getting more FP tags lists and so on. So, how would I change the fp arms? Would it be done in guerrilla? 3DS Max? Some other program?

Please, let me know. Thank you.

Thanks.

One problem though.
The arms appear on screen, but the gun does not.
Here's a video to show you what I mean:

I think it might be that your FP arms that don't support the weapon tag.

Well the FP hands I am looking at are these.
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=5726
It appears as though I should be able to have an assault rifle fp hands tag without the gun dissappearing.
Also, I'm not too familiar with guerrilla, so I don't know where the globals.globals area is. I went to the option "interface" in the weapons tags options. Can anybody perhaps show me a picture of where the globals function is in guerrilla?
I searched YouTube for a little while, and google, but I never found where it was.

--EDIT--

Bump.

Sorry this post, (being the noob I am) but I really want to know how to do this, rather than just being an idiot on the forum who doesn't contribute like I currently am.
Perhaps somebody can lead me to a tutorial on how to assign these FP hands to a weapon.
Once again, any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I don't know, but I think you can easily find a bunch of tutorials explaining how to swap the FP arms.

Check out this one. It shows the process step by step. I don't think it's difficult to understand.
