SRIV SDK Release B: Creating new weapon tutorial

[daspex]

You think too much, we don't have possibility to create new animation in SR4, that is only text work in anim_default.xtbl where you prescribe what the name of existed animation should play when you aiming, running, etc.

So the animations could be set to a dummy animation or something like that?
Seems to be 8 animations i guess.One for equip weapon one for firering the gun and four ones to move forward/backward left/right and two ones for up/down ?

Yeah animation pack for the character when he equip weapon sets in weapon_costumes.xtbl in <Animation_Group> tag, you can copy any weapon and set here your animation set if possible, or edit existed, many of them from previous game and doesn't use like KB_gloves. All animation names are in the anim_actions.xtbl I guess

Omg, the keyblade of Terra. But, now I see what you mean that "it doesn't take well small size texture" too...

Saints row engine use some inverse kinematic to adjust animation by hand position on the weapon. This position is controlled by some objects in 3d editor, tags in maya, helpers in 3dmax etc. I guess your model doesn't have any tags so hand will be always in zero position or tags were placed wrong. Show me your fbx file

1) Your weapon is far from zero coordinate it's no good

2) Your root_bone has scale 0.393 it's a bad, you should scale bone root to 2.54 and only before export

3) Your weapon has tag_secondary_handle it sometimes doesn't work right for the melee, delete it

How to fix it

First select bone_root and scale it to 1.0

selected hammer and unbind skin

then unlock all attributes

set scale to 1.0

And freeze transform

Select mesh first, then add bone_root to selection and bind skin

Place tags where they should be and delete tag_secondary_handle

Set bone_root scale to 2.54 and export to fbx

Scale root _bones is only affecting tags so when 2.54 only compensating some engine flaw
