because thats really wierd. when i search to make a full animated weapon i found that u need at least 13 files!

xxxx is your weapon name (dunno if its support more than 4 digits)

**************************************************
Hierarchical model files type:
**************************************************

1) f_gm_xxxx.w3d - Gun Model, must have a separate clip model having the name : f_cm_xxxx

2) f_cm_xxxx.w3d - separate clip model for reload animation

*************************************************
Pure animation file type:
*************************************************

This time we use f_ga_xxxx_(action) where GA stand for Gun Animation

1) f_ga_xxxx_enter.w3d - not sure of this one but i think its the one used when u scroll weapons and a weapon appear.

2) f_ga_xxxx_exit.w3d - the opposite of enter animation

3) f_ga_xxxx_fire.w3d - custom firing animation for weapons best examples: Laser chaingun, minigunner...

4) f_ga_xxxx_idle.w3d - dunno....

5) f_ga_xxxx_relod.w3d - not a mistake, its really relod and not reload. Reload animation for gun.

**************************************************
Bone only file type(or more pure animated thing... im not sure):
**************************************************

now, the finals files used for hand animation(ha)(f_ha_xxxx_enter).

1) f_ha_xxxx_enter.w3d

2) f_ha_xxxx_exit.w3d

3) f_ha_xxxx_fire.w3d

4) f_ha_xxxx_idle.w3d

5) f_ha_xxxx_relod.w3d

--------------------------------------------------
Now ill explain a little about the files "use existing bone" of renx when u export.

the f_ga_xxxx_(action) file need the f_gm_xxxx.

the f_ha_xxxx_(action) file need the f_skeleton.w3d (file in always.dat).

I think the f_ga_xxxx_(action) are the same file as f_ha_xxxx_(action) except they have fingers bone included.

i tried to look into f_skeleton.w3d(yes with note pad ) and i saw some word about finger1, finger2... bone.
--------------------------------------------------

all i said in this tread may or not be accurate, but looking all weapon of renegade, i think we will get it

edit: i added some star to make it easier to read
edit2: i made a typo about Ga(gun animation), i putted Am instead... dunno why lol, now is fixed, no more typo in this reply
