Is there any way to change f_gm (first person) weapon models to w_ (world) so they look higher quality?

I'm going to guess and say simply copy the first person models and rename them to the 3rd person models, but I wouldn't really know for certain.

Well, for one thing, V_ is the format used for vehicles, W_ is used for third person weapon models. Anyway, it's possible to replace third person weapon models with first person ones. Just import the f_gm_ model into GMAX and retexture it. Then, delete the first person bones, add the third person bones and export.

No, because it would produce crap. Use Canadas' tutorial.

You can't just re-name W3d files. You'll need to rename them and edit their names using a hexeditor.

Mayby if you have all the guns you could send them to TT / ask what they think about it and if they want to put it in the patch(most pc's are strong enough to handle this and a bit more eye candy is good)

(Weaponskins should just work)

Yea, maybe they could include an option to enable/disable such weapon models?

Overall, the Westwood maps are very low poly, changing these weapons would have absolutely no effect at all on lag.

That's probably because people rarely actually take the time to notice the lower quality models that are currently in use.

Go check in Renegade what the low quality models look like then look at the screen shot again. It is a major improvement.
