I have had the FG-42 skin for a long time and it works fine... every time I try to use another one it won't show up... sometimes i can here the new sounds that come with the weapon but can't see the weapon.

Any ideas on what i could check to see whats wrong???

Thanks allot!

Can you see these weapons in radiant with all the textures on it not just the skelton model?

I don't have radiant... I don't know how to skin. I'm just trying to use ones allready made by someone else...

In the SH .pak files there were 3 weapons I wanted to use, the FG42, G43, and the Kar98 rifle-grenade launcher. When I would bring these into radiant, the skelton model would appear with out any textures. and when I would compile them into the game they would not be there. So I ended up making each weapon their own .shader file with a shorter path to their textures and this worked I could see the models in radiant with their textures on the skelton surface. (looked like how it would look in game). And when I compiled them ito the game they worked good except the FG42. So I downloaded a file for the FG42 and now it works too.(execpt for muzzle flash). At first the downloaded FG42 didn't work either and it was because of the texture problem. Once I fixed it, it worked too. Maybe this is your problem too because if the game is not seeing or reading one of the textures for the weapon it will be invisble. Oh yeah I noticed you said you had the FG42 working good. Does yours have a muzzle flash when you shoot it?

Yes, my FG-42 does have a muzzle flash

I'm affraid that is all too much in depth for me... I wish it wasn't... I don't guess you could tell me how to do that? did rewriting that .shader file fix all your weapons prob.s at one time or did you have to do that for each weapon?

Thanks Man!

I did it for each weapon. You need to know how to open .pk3 files which are in your main, mainta, and maintt folders. Main is for AA, mainta is for SH, and maintt is for BT. .pk3 files are like zip files. I use a utilty called Pak scape. I think you can download it from .map web site. I'd be kind of leary about changing these files if I didn't have radiant, because radiant kind of helps you test different things that you try. For me its all trial and error.
