How to change the Origins on a Weapon Model

[the w00t]

Nice bump.

Nice job not noticing a sticky.
Anyways, this is a good tutorial.

[TheInternetS]

Would this tut work for Source?

[James]

No, I don't think it will, although don't quote me on that.

[SureShot]

No, I don't think it will, although don't quote me on that.

Its almost exactly the same.  I cant remember if there is anything extra you have to do.

[TheInternetS]

Thanks. I'll be sure to try this out.

[the w00t]

Compiling for source may be a bit more difficult-there are more things you can mess up.

[TheInternetS]

Yeah no kidding. I had to give up. Oh well, I was never gifted with the ability to figure out editing software.

Its almost exactly the same.  I cant remember if there is anything extra you have to do.

There sure is something else... so far every weapon model I managed to re-origin and recompile seemed to look as if the recoil were almost zero, while in-game. It didn't show up in mdlv, though.

As you can see there is no $body "gun" involved and I dont know what to do can I please get some help here?

[DiamonD]

Well, the "gun" in your sentence is just a name of a reference. It's not the same for every single model. The name of the ref in the QC you posted is "v_m6d."

Anyways, I find it that altering origins are very simple. Just add a qc line below $cliptotextures that says "$origin X Y Z" The x is the x value, the y is the y value, and so forth.

On a side note, you fucking bumped a 2 year old topic.

[scottjames]

Thanks, I think bumping will win me a free ban >.> since I already bumped another rofl.

Edit : Btw thanks I did the right thing I just did the value type wrong. ( I didnt know you did the value that way )

[KylerAdams]

Not necessarily. You bumped it for a reason, not "omg kool 10/10" or something similar.

Your post was easy to understand. You should be fine if you keep up that stuff.

It's a sticky you douche, it doesn't count as a bump.

[DiamonD]

Bah, my bad. Sorry, I didn't know bumps were excluded to stickies.
