Alright, so I've successfully managed to import some Halo 2 Elite bipeds (including gbx models and animations) into my next mod. These bipeds and models are from DMT. What I would like to know is if these bipeds and models can hold two-handed weapons, or if they can only use one-handed weapons like the vanilla H1 elites. Does anyone have any information regarding this?

I want to be able to have elites using two-handed weapons in this mod like I had in my previous one, but I want to know if I need to go back to using CMT models for that or if I can use the DMT halo 2 ones.

they probably can, but you most likely need to edit animations or the model itself
(like cmt's elite ranger)

I've never worked with the DMT H2 elites before, but if they have their own .model_animations set they probably have animations for the carbine and the like.

If they're using the standard H1 anims I think you could use CMT's SPv3 elite .model_animations which include two-handed weapon animations.

Oh hey I remember seeing a 2 handed carbine somewhere, maybe you could use that on something

You mean the DMT elites are compatible withe CMT elite animations? Don't they have different bone structures and contact nodes? I'll give it a shot and see what happens, though.

Like I said, I'm not entirely sure if the bonesets are different as I've never used or worked with them. It's worth a shot those since it's just a simple change and compile. If they don't have two-handed anims already you might be able to do some marker changes in guerilla. I've never done it myself though so I can't help you much.

Do you know who might be able to help me, since I'm still learning the ropes as I go?

I don't really know anyone that could, sorry. I might look into it sometime if I'm up to it.
