player view offset values of the weapons

[miguel]

Where is left,right,up,down,front,back?

Making a weapon in the same position and similar size of a specific gun and puting it under the class of said weapon, works perfectly.
But sometimes I have to make my weapons bigger, forsing me to place it in a different position to respect the boundaries of what the converting tool works with.
And the xyz directions of the modeling program I use are not the same of those in the game. I even have to model lnverted! (left is right)
Playing around with those numbers is driving me insane, I have to compile every time I change them to see what happens.

Thanks for your time.

hijacking to ask you something... miguel, do you know how to rotate a mesh from the import? I need to interpolate cars, but the car meshes are pointing the wrong way.

Sorry. that is exactly what I'm asking here.
The good thing is that the cars are not animated ( unles you want the weels to rotate) all you have to do is extract and conver some 4 times until you get the right direction.
You must Rotate it from the 3d editing software.

The import lines can specify rotation, as well as offset:

#exec MESH ORIGIN MESH=YourMeshName X=YourXoffset Y=YourYoffset Z=YourZoffset PITCH=YourPitch YAW=YourYaw ROLL=YourRoll

Where youroffsets are XYZ offsets respectively, and Pitch/Roll/Yaw is as desired.

The offsets are in...fuck knows what units, and I believe are related to the mesh scaling at import (so if your MESHMAP SCALE is really small, which it usually is, you need quite big numbers: 1000-10000 sort of range), and the pitch/roll/yaw are in 256 degree circles, so YAW=64 will be a 90degree rotation.
