Modeling...


This tells you how to make a landmine, but hey, you start learning from it...

Once you do that, you need to build the new weapon file for the mp_knife

you'd also have to make animations and stuff, it is by no means a small undertaking and should only be done by experts in both modeling and modding.

im not exactly sure how all that works. You would have to create animations for the person using, drawing, and even holding the weapon, and i'm unsure of how that's done. The actual modeling of the knife is just simply making it. I don't really know exactly whats involved but i'm sure its a lot and very hard.

As for free modelers Lightray3D is good.

I believe the cod2 expansion will include a knife but I can't remember where I read that so it might not be true, might be easier to wait for them to complete it :P

cod2 does not have a knife file. But I recently found this looking at friends of friends of friends of friends screenshots(:)):

(dunno from who the ss came from. I hope I have permission to use them. :))


Maybe search for the mod on the internet and ask the author on how it was made. Also, ask for permission if you can use it in cod1. But there's still a lot of modeling to do, as Soviet said: modeling the knife and the hands, animating the thing:

-when reloaded
-when thrown
-when picked up
-when holstered
etc.

It's been done before on UO this was the only thing i could find http://callofduty.filefront.com/file/Ub ... 9#Download
Probably been done in cod 1 aswell but i dont know where. It replaces the smoke grenade in this one with an edited weapon file, but it just used the bash animation i think.
