Issues with md2 to md3 converting

[TheIntercooler]

Im having some issues with a model I converted from md2 format to md3. I was able to set the animations properly but there is still a few things that I still cant get working right.

I know when you make the model an md3 you have to put tags on it for weapon placement. Im gonna be the first to admit that I am really bad at it, Ive tried for a few hours and I cant. I'm hopeing someone could give me a hand with tagging the model?

Also, I having an issue with the skin. I have it linked in the md3 config but it still shows up on the screen wrong. I read some old posts with people having the same issue I named everything correctly but still wont load up.

Any help would be great!

PS There has been a lot of work done to the engine for Broken Shield, once it gets more stable I'll be posting some updates soon. Also Revelade Revolution is up in online testing now we are looking for people intrested in giving us a hand.

it'd be nice if you could tell us what you did to make and convert the model. As for placing the hand tags, this may help you: http://quadropolis.us/node/3475.

To convert from md2 to md3 model I used used Milkshape 1.8.3 then I used an animation importer to bring the animations back on.

I read a lot of tuts saying you have to link the skin in the md3 file itself to work. I did that and it shows up in the link right but not in game, its a bit odd.

As far as the hands taged to the weapon Im having a very hard time with blender I may have to try to recruit someone to join our team to do model editing.

What did you use? More curiosity than need to know.

Blender bugging you? You could try misfit model 3D.
