Hello guys

I've converted some weapons models to swbf 2, but in-game they are huge, I've heard about creating a .option file in order to scale them proprely or scaling them manualy in XSI modtool. How i can do for both method? Plus, I'm not familiar with .option file

Now we're gonna learn about the search function

option files are pretty easy. Let's say you have your name.msh, so just add a new file in the same directory name.msh.option. and then you put your parameter in there.
But there is a .option creator tool as far as i remember, too.

wait, i tested the following thing:

my msh is named: "rep_inf_dc15s" I've created a .msh option file with the excact same name and inserted my value. It didn't worked.

Here is what i tried:

-scale 1.2
-scale 1.0
-scale 0.5
-scale 0.25

It should have worked.

Just take a random ***.msh.option file from the stock assets, rename it, open it, delete everything inside and add -scale 0.whatever. It has to work.

I re -re tryed and it didn't worked, i checked 10 times if it was the right name, and yes it was. Of course i deleted the old content of it.

Now, I'm thinking that it is my mesh conversion the real problem...But however the model works fine in-game! I tried with another weapon the last few hours and i have the exact issue. Is there any weapons templates? Like the colone one by pysch0fred's. I will see what's the size of swbf weapons and rescale manually with XSI - (i will need o find a way to do it, I'm still new!)

Thanks for the help

Since you already have zerotools you can import a stock weapon as reference

Thx for the trick it worked

But now the only prolem is that the model is not using the two hp: "hp_active" and "hp_fire"

You actually don't need hp_active, you can just position the weapon to where the trigger meets the handle with the center of the grid in XSI, like so:
Additionally, make sure that hp_fire is a child of the parent object that you select when you export the mesh. For example, in this case, I select DummyRoot when I export the mesh. Notice how hp_fire is a child object of it in the hierarchy:

So my weapon model and my hp should be a child of Dummyroot, right?

Also how did you get the texture showingup in XSI? I know how add texture in order to work in-game but not in XSI

Thanks.
