Weapon charparams file question

Jon Rush

Do all weapons need a corresponding charparams file? In my case I'll never use a first person camera- only third person.

If not, where am I pulling out animation data for the weapon from? The associated weapon XML?

As far as I know, nearly every animated object (with several animations) need this file, as it says where the model can find it's animation. I guess you need it, but you can copy the existing ones from e.g. the SCAR weapon and just edit the stuff you need.

I also think the 3. person view thing is just an additional thing, so it's more important to create the ego version, the 3. person is to pick up the weapon and make it viewable. I don't know if you can ignore the 1. person version if you just use the 3. person and block the other. You need to try..
