Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

Very interesting :)
I think it will be an interesting plugin for a lot of custom guns made specifically for zombie plague.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

Yes, it is incredible, there will be many possibilities, either for weapon skins or other things that you can think of, I would be needing help with the code for CZ, the reason for this is that the CZ models are heavier, and it is not possible to do it by submodel like CS1.6, it exceeds the limit of .mdl, but doing it by skins instead of submodels is feasible, not only that it would make the model less heavy, if not, it would not put as much load on the server.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

Nice plugin, thx, I was looking for a plugin like this for a while <3
If you want I can work with the CZ skins, but it will take some time...

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

Thanks, I'm glad I served you.
I already worked on the CZ skins, I have them practically finished, I still need some fixes

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

* 1.1 - 8/7/22
- Compatibility for CZ Militia/Spetsnaz.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

Good job

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

One thing is not clear...
Why did they make body models, if we change the skin textures of the hands and that's it

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

Believe me I tried and we worked on it

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

You should add description on what the plugin does
It is kind of hard to understand without watching the video

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin
 

You're right, I will fix the description, it is that I took for granted that they saw the previous post that asked for help regarding the creation of the plugin, which I show the models.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin CS/CZ
 

Nice updated post it looks very nice, plus the actual plugin is a veeery good idea I didn't get it at first, will be using in my next project for sure my guy! Congratulations on amazing work again!

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin CS/CZ
 

Thanks, when we can find a way to use skins instead of submodels, it will open the door to more customization, at the moment I'm happy with how the project is going, any input or suggestion you want to say is welcome :)

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin CS/CZ
 

sadly we can't just have separate MDLs for hands, weapon and animations.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin CS/CZ
 

In fact if it is possible, what is impossible is to use those multiple models in the first person

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin CS/CZ
 

Just wanted to let plugin approvers know, that this plugin was made upon request by the submitter. He helped by providing models, by testing and giving me very useful information regarding model animation number. I do intend to keep the plugin updated.

The plugin itself is quite simple in my opinion. I had to rewrite the base plugin "SetViewEntityBody 2" in order to make this work. I contacted the author to make his plugin more as an API, which would be much more useful for the community: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...2&postcount=34

The way the plugin is right now, it might need optimization. First thing I was thinking of is allocating the models. But I don't know if this is still needed. I was inactive for awhile. The shield support is coming very soon and I couldn't make that as a cvar, since it needs precaching/unprecaching. So this support would need recompiling.

For everyone using the plugin, we are open for feedback and possible future ideas.
For plugin approves, I am open to some feedback.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin CS/CZ
 

* 2.0 - 8/22/22
- Support for shields.

This is what I meant

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ]
 

Solid work, congrats.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ]
 

I have Segmentation fault (core dumped) every time when i join to server !

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ]
 

Would you mind adding an option for the models to be off by default so players can turn them on manually? A menu to switch them manually would be cool too.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ]
 

It could be done, only that it would require the help of the code editor, I don't know if he's pending the post.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ]
 

don't tested , i think it s working. if not let me know

for players:
normal/team chat command: /armskin
console command: amx_armskin

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ]
 

Thanks for answering, the plugin works but not as it should, the weapon just disappears, there is nothing left, I think it is because the original models are downloaded before, and they are not activated again with the command, but for the bots the weapon continues visible with the plugin.

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ] {22 Aug 2022}
 

i can't install the plugin on my server, saying the native from setviewentitybody2 does not exists even if i installed it correctly

anyways, the above problem can be cause by stopping precaching default models from the game.

tried to avoid unprecaching default models when this feature is enabled


also i suggest you to put the shield models and skin arm models in same archieve in an folder called "extended".

most of server owners doesn't know a grain of coding and it's easier to install

i added this too:
due to a not used variable when not using shield support


and what do you mean by "the bots are still visible"? shall they not be?

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ] {22 Aug 2022}
 

Easiest way would be to provide the default skins within the submodels, so the "default" models can be unprecached. Otherwise it's gonna use too much resources. Or another way would be to use the default submodel, which is by default the value of "3".

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ] {22 Aug 2022}
 

Hello, thanks for your input and suggestion.
And the thing about the bots is still visible, it was a bad translation from Google Translator hahah, it meant that for the bots the weapon is still visible in first person.
The Extended folder already contains the v_ and Shield models in the same folder
The reason I'm putting it apart is for those who don't use Shield support, which seems to be the majority of servers, besides it had been an optional feature, we didn't know if it would cause too many problems and we would end up removing it, at the moment it seems to be stable, that's why it stayed that way.
Your code makes g_szOldModels unusable

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.0 [CS/CZ] {22 Aug 2022}
 

And regarding the SetViewEntityBody2, make sure that the plugin is not paused and recognizes it, if not, make sure that it is well written in Plugins.ini, it seems obvious but many times it happens that it is written wrong or it is not installed correctly

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

i'm planning to use this to replace metadrawer from my ccx plugin. then i tried this plugin, but the submodel choosen is always "submodel 1". i didn't modify anything of the plugin. do you know what causes this ?

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

Tell me more about the problem, did you follow all the steps correctly?
Did you compile SetViewEntityBody2_edit.sma and EAWSv2.1.sma locally?
Although it seems to be an EAWS issue

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

yes, i followed your steps. it loads the new models with armskin replacing old models, so it means the plugin is loaded successfully. it just doesn't change the hand skin to other variant

my plugin list :
and my modules list :
is it conflicting or something?

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

Yes, it may be because you use CSO characters, remember that if you don't choose a character like Arctic, Leet, etc, the Default characters, the plugin will not take it into account. Maybe it's something else, but I assure you that in a clean installation, the plugin works correctly

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

i've disabled my CSO characters plugin though..

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

I wouldn't know how to help you then, I would suggest, does something else come out on the console? Any information you can provide like the logs? I doubt you see the problem there, but you seem to have a modified CS/CZ instance, perhaps the game itself has changed the class for them and therefore the plugin does not recognize them

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

nop, nothing comes out from the console. all works fine, disabled all additional plugins, but still can't change to other hand, always resulting first index of hand. :|

or maybe is it because im using latest amxmodx 1.10 so that makes it partially works?

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

I don't think so, I use the latest version and it works fine, also if it were due to the version, it would directly give you an error when compiling, the last thing I have to ask is if I use any of the available commands of the plugin, maybe I touched something in its configuration and that's why it acts like this

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

maybe can you make it set hand skin based on the player model that is choosen? AFAIK yours is set based on cvar value

Re: Extended Arm Weapon Skin 2.1 [CS/CZ] {16 Apr 2023}
 

Please help me with this =)
