Viewmodels & Ghoul2

[Tempust85]

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get into loading a level anymore. It always crashes with vanilla dll as the fault module name when trying to create a new game, or doing map kejim_post. I've tried moving JK2 assets to the base folder while removing JKA's, using +fs_basepath JK2HD and using +fs_game JK2HD.

@@DT85 this sounds similar to something that Scizo mentioned. Try deleting stuff from My Documents/OpenJK2 (or maybe OpenJK, not sure)

[Tempust85]

I noticed it was searching there as well, so I've been making sure it's cleared. I'm stumped as to what's going on.

[eezstreet]

Not sure. I haven't encountered any similar issues. But like I said, I think there's currently an open issue for this. Sczio is having the same issue on the main branch.

The field-of-view, or the 1st-person camera settings, appear to be elongating the AK-47. I'm sure it's just a matter of tweaking the settings.

i have my FOV set at 110 and my cg_viewModelFOVOverride set at like 90 or so, so that's not exactly improbable.

[eezstreet]

I think I fixed it. @@DT85 do a pull/recompile and see if that fixes it (you'll probably get a Com_Error)

@@DT85: make sure that the ext_data/weapons/default.json gets put into a PK3.

[Tempust85]

Yay it finally works for me.

 

Now to get cracking on that view model.

Keep me informed with your progress. I'm interested to see what you can do.

[Tempust85]

Ok, so my first step is to load up the AK74 model and it worked but it's rotated like it was in one of your screenshots. I'll get to work on a test model later today.

[eezstreet]

You'll want to specify "NoHandModel": 1 in your weaponfile. By default, the weaponfile is default.json, but you might switch to something else for testing purposes.

[Tempust85]

 

- Doesn't load .skin files which is why the texture isn't working.

- I've included a *flash, but the muzzle effect & blaster fire don't emit from it

- Would like a FOV setting per gun

 

[eezstreet]

Send me those files, and I'll take a look at it.

Also, yeah, I can add an FOV offset.

OK, .skin files should be supported now. You'll need to specify a SkinFile in the JSON, so something like this:

 

 

 "SkinFile": "models/weapons2/ak74/model_default.skin"

[Tempust85]

I put in the skinFile line & recompiled, but it's still not showing any textures.

Did you pull? I didn't actually test it out. I should probably do that later today.

[Tempust85]

Yeah I got the latest code change you did, and it didn't do anything.

[eezstreet]

@@DT85: ok, latest commit will fix the skin for sure -- I have the skin working ingame and will provide a screenie in a moment or two. note that there will be a floating X/Y/Z axis somewhere in view, this is just for my purposes while I'm figuring out a fix for muzzle position issue.

Also, your JSON that you provided me didn't have a SkinFile setting in it. Here is what I wound up using:

"SkinFile":            "models/weapons2/ak74/model_default.skin",

EDIT: and fixed the muzzle flashes too:

 

 

 

 

note that the EFX is just sliiiiightly off, this is not due to a code or model error, rather the EFX segments themselves are slightly offset in the file, you might adjust your tag positions to compensate for this (maybe take a look at the stock MD3s and see how far away from the barrel the tag_flashes are)

[Tempust85]

Awesome, all works on my end too.

 

Seeing as this is JK2:HD, may as well just fix the EFX.

 

 

EDIT:

 

I'll include a fix in my next updated PK3. When do you want me to start with animations?
