Tag "Nisan" and tag "Gun" are not supposed to be there... They are included in xmodel, but i cant find them in Maya. They are somehow hidden.
Im not Maya expert. I am cod mapper and this is my second gun im trying to make.Im making my first mod after i made more then 17 mp maps. First gun i created succsefully with all atachments. Now im stuck with this :/

ok first are you still useing the xmodel tool by dielogic?, if so scrap it ! no offence to the guy who made it ,it was great to have when noone else would step up and do something better however that time has come and so i point you here http://www.itsmods.com/forum/Thread-Prev...Utils.html

please download this and begin again you will find it much better and it works for everythig , now after you have done that you will need to bind the rig to the defmesh ie the gun there are tuts for this on youtube ill try to find them for you .
or if your just moveing guns from one game to another you can just use the bind.mel script made by toms xmodel tool.


edit here

watch the custom weapons in maya videos they should help you

if after all this you still fail you can send me the weapon / textures and i will use them to make a tut on getting a weapon ingame from scratch rigging,binding,exporting,importing,setup a rig for anims,make a simple anim,export,import and wins, all the things needed to have a truly custom weapon ingame , ether ways hope it works out for you

I fix this problem. I didnt asign those two meshes to any joints. They dont need any joint tags for anymated stuff in game, but still i needed to asign two meshes to j_gun tags (i didnt do that in my first weapon and gun works fine lol).
Thanks for help and for that link with tutorials. Also thaks for point me to that tool. Im still using old methods
Now that is history.
Here is my custom weapon. Serbian "Zastava M21 automatic" with all atachmenst (no anoying GL in my mod )
