If you want to see how it looks ingame, look at the top left window, it's the one that shows how it really is.

I got a problem with the G43, when I try to export my animation it gives me an error report about SceneParse.exe, so my export fails and doesn't load. It's the only weapons that does that so I guess it's related to it.

Yeah G43 is giving me some problems, can't edit it. Without proper 3D animations it's the only weapon that is "ugly" in the mod, since we have a new thompson and grease gun everything is fine. Just need the G43 to be fixed :(

Only time I read about that error is having more uvw channels in use than you need.

Can I just shoot you the scene? Like no need to give you the bundlemeshes with it? Or they're already in the scene?

Ok UVW channels were the problem. But now strangely even if I edit any of the G43's animations they don't apply in the editor :/

The HI solver fucks up my animations
From Pysko

I hope this helps. its from my notes. In order for the IK to work you have to do this in this order.

Quote:
CONSTRAINTS
when setting up constraits, first select the wrist bones, go animation, orientation constraint and select the weapon
then select the IK controller and go, animation, constraints, link constraint, select the weapon.
When I select the wrist bones and then go in > animation > orientation constraints and select the weapon it stretch out the wrists and turns them around :S

you gotta click the little tick box on the right panel that says "keep initial offset" that should ix it.

FYI, I wont be doing any animation for PR for the foreseeable future. Got my own projects to think about.

After you HI Solver IK link the wrist to the shoulder, a blue 3D crosshair should appear on the wrist. That's the IK controller.
