Invisible weapon?

[sam56]

Well, here's the story.

 

I hate the way the brass knuckles look, and my game has glitched so that I no longer lose my weapons after being busted/wasted.

 

Anyway, I'm guessing I can delete the brass knuckle model using IMG tool, but I don't know the extension.

 

Also, When the game doesn't find the model, will it just not show up or will the game crash?

 

 

Thanks!

If I'm wrong somebody'll correct me later, but for now I would definately advise you not to delete any of the models because it will most likely lead to a crash. I'm not exactly sure how to go about it, but I believe I heard mention of replacing the txd of a model with a color that would blend in. Perhaps you could extract the txd file and change it's color so that it's not as noticeable. I don't know this for a fact, I'm just mentioning it as a possible soloution because I think I heard mention of it a while back.

 

Keeping in mind that removing model files will most likely crash the game, if you do decide to try don't forget to keep a back-up. That is unless you want to risk having to re-install. Later.

Alright, thanks.

 

How about replacing the model with just a tiny dot?

 

Would that work?

Hey sam. Well, I extracted the .txd and tried changing the color, but now that I look at it the weapon is going to be there no matter what color it is. I must have been thinking of something else. Unfortunately I don't really have much experience dealing with models except adding them to the game when they come in a mod. My thing is moding the scm, so I don't know what to do here. I want to learn how to model but at the moment I don't guess I'm going to be too much help. Well, sh*t. I guess if I think of anything or find anything out I'll let you know but frankly I'm lost on this one. I'll keep an eye on this topic in case someone with more experience at modeling provides a soloution. And if you find anything out be sure to post it. Now that I've tried and failed it's kind of frustrating. Well, I guess I'll see ya later dude. Hopefully something will turn up. I'm sure somebody knows. Later man.

 

*EDIT*

Okay, I don't know how much help this will be, but I just remembered seeing a mod (for VC I think) that replaced a pistol or some other weapon with a model of the players hand. The hand was giving 'the finger', that way when the player_char waved his weapon at pedestrians it looked like he was flipping them off. Maybe you can find a mod that will replace the brass_knuckles with a model of the players hand or if all else fails maybe you could go to the Recruits and Requests thread and see if someone would be willing to throw something together. I personally know nothing about modding, but for someone who already knows what they're doing it probably wouldn't take much effort. That's about the only thing I can think of for now. Later dude.
