Turning Gun Models Off

[ChinMan]

Hi,
Lots of server are now stopping the use of r_drawviewmodel 1 to turn off gun models.

But ive heard you can still do it by replacing the actaul model file with a blank one or something??

Does anyone have a blank gun model file, or a gun model really easy to see through (without all the muzzle flash?)...or any info on this.

Thanks!

I will try to make a blank model, dont count on it working :p

Hey,
That would be superb cheers. I tried last nite using Milk and 3D studio max, but had less than success.

Also, i thought, that the model would actaully need to be transparent woulnt it? Because if it was just a white (or any colour) model, you would just see a big white space instead of the gun, which is just worse...

Not sure if you even can make transparent models..

Although, if the gun model was white, but the muzzle flash was removed, that would be superb.

The main point in all this is getting rid of that annoying muzzle flash.

(Oh, and of course, after we get this working, can we do it with mp_consistency on ;-)

Well... i know you can make the weapon model transparent with some opengl coding, but i dont think we can get it working with mp_consistency... think that's crc checking...

[Da BuzZ]

Bleh... couldnt get it to work... so i'm gonna use wireframe models... good enough? Ill post a ss l8r :p

gun models r not 3d models, its just images, and cant show wireframe!

[Da BuzZ]

You my friend know nothing... all player models and weapon models is 3d...
and here's the proof...

In the 1.1 the draw models option will be locked, like model enforcing is checked in some servers

flag it (in 3dsMax) MASKED. sets color to 0 transparent. Masked materials are automatically two sided as well. Xray is a nice plugin too for max. You still have to do some work obviously.
