Custom Weapon?
So I'm kinda new at modding. I was planning on making a custom weapon or two (or three, or ten) but I was wondering how to specify how many bullets (or whatever guns shoot in BF2) come out of the gun, where the soldier holds the gun, rate of fire, etc. Is it an ODF thing, and how would I make, for example, a muzzle flash appear?

Hello and welcome to Gametoast PvtMichealJCaboose (my favorite RvB character

I will show you where most of what you asked is controlled. Here is an example:
Let me know if you need anything else explained in greater detail, and good luck.

Re: Custom Weapon?
And (sorry if I'm kind of bumping the topic) but if I model a gun in, say Blender, what steps should I take to animate it and all that good stuff?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Custom Weapon?
Good god man. You only are considered bumping a topic after 30 days of the last post, not a couple hours after the last post. 
Anyway, you need to use XSI to add the hardpoints on a weapon model. I personally model the weapon in Blender, then give it to someone with XSI to add the hardpoints.
Pretty much every thing you need to know about modeling weapons from SWBF2, including weapons, is HERE.
Specifically this tutorial for weapon models.

Re: Custom Weapon?
Wait, I thought bumping was changing the subject of a post?
Anyways, thanks, I'm sure this will be really helpful!

Re: Custom Weapon?
The subject of this topic is Custom Weapon. The second question you asked relates to a custom weapon model. That doesn't seem to change the subject at all. The concept of bumping literally means bumping or moving a thread to the top of the forum.

Re: Custom Weapon?
Ah I see. BTW how do you import models from Blender into XSI? Does XSI only take specific types of models? .obj, .msh, and .blend didn't work.

I always use .OBJ. It's quite universal between 3D Programs. If it doesn't work, it's user error.

Re: Custom Weapon?
Tried it again, it worked! 
I was selecting it and doing "open with XSI" instead of opening XSI and importing it.
Thanks for all you guys' help!
