Import model from CoD4 using Tom's Xmodel Utils

[Mitch]

I have been trying to import a model from cod4 to cod2 using Tom's Xmodel Utils. It almost works, but i got one problem with the bones. I think it has something do to with the tag_weapon_left and right.

How can i fix this?

Did u follow serty's tut? Maybe you can post your model here

Yeah, I know that. I tried that exactly months ago and got the same result. In CoD2 bones have different names and there's a different number of bones, as well.
I spent days trying to make that work and couldn't. So I, too, really hope people here got a solution.

I am replacing torso_stabilizer with j_spine1, back_low with j_spine2, back_mid with j_spine3. But i think the problem is that tag_weapon_left and right aren't binded somehow.

I didn't follow serty's tutorial. I know how which bones i need to bind etc. But if i do it this way i don't need to paint and add the bones manual from the cod2 template. Because the painting goes always wrong.

I followed pluxy's tutorial a while ago.

compare the skeleton!
iirc cod4 uses 3 spine-bones and cod is built with 4. so it isnt just renaming..

I guess, I did that, too. The problem does not necessarily seem to be the tag_weapon_xx, but way more the bone at the right shoulder. That bone gets placed somewhere near the left shoulder in-game. The tag_weapon_right just is not right, because it's a sub-bone(?).

cod4: http://znation.nl/files/body_complet...yuri_tags.html
currently what i got: http://znation.nl/files/spetsnaz_yuri_tags.html
cod2: http://znation.nl/files/playerbody_a...dy01_tags.html

Also see my previous post for the maya files.

Edit: I think j_spinelower should be j_spine1 and j_spineupper j_spine2. But then j_spine3 is what i don't know and probably is what is the problem.

[Peterlankton]

If one of the j_spine(s) were the problem, then both arms(left and right) + the head would be wrong positioned, since it's their parent. So, what I'm saying is that only the right arm is wrong positioned and since the rest of the body is working correctly it can only be one of these bones to be not: j_clavicle_ri and/or j_shoulder_ri. Because when you position them manually in the xmodel_export, you might fix that. I tried that as well back then and, well, it worked somehow, but the arm was never perfect.

You only have 101 bones. There are 123 in COD2, and 125 in COD4. You must have gone wrong somewhere. You cannot ignore COD2's base character rig. You do so at your own peril.

Follow serthy's tutorial. It is one of the best I have seen for COD2 model rigging.

[Mitch]

I am now using the template from cod2 and this works a lot better. I got almost the entire model working i only need to fix the legs.
