How to make iron sights skins - tutorial

You need the following:

Jed's Half-Life Model Viewer 1.36
mdldec.exe
studiomdl.exe
Notepad

Make new folder on desktop and paste skin of youre choosing,I will use mw3 desert eagle for example.
You need to paste mdldec.exe and studiomdl.exe in Jed's Half-Life Model Viewer instal folder C:\Program Files\Jed's Half-Life Model Viewer 1.3.6 so you can compile and decompile.Open HLMV (Jed's Half-Life Model Viewer)
Than go to Tools and select Configure Tools



Then you need to set up mdldec.exe and studiomdl.exe
like this...



You need to go on weapon origin and change them
Turn on the crosshair,and pay attention to the origins



Default value is 0.000000 as you can see.Now,weapon needs to be centered
Origin X moves the weapon left and right
Origin Y moves the weapon front and back
Origin Z moves the weapon up and down
Origin value is not the same for any weapon,you have to choose them randomly until you get it right...



Now to work...
Decompile the skin




You will see bunch of files there,but important one is v_deagle.qc
open it with notepad.you should see something like this...

$bbox 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
$cbox 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
$eyeposition 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000

Under these lines you have to make a new line and it should look like this...

$bbox 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
$cbox 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
$eyeposition 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
$origin 3.350000 2.000000 -1.200000

But remmeber,these are origins for my example,Like I said,THESE VALUES ARE NOT THE SAME FOR ANY WEAPON!!!You have to type the values from HLMV that centerd your gun not this...Compare this "$origin 3.350000 2.000000 -1.200000" with my origin from the picture and you should figure out what I'm talking about


Now the final step
Compile your qc file



And that's all about it...Good luck

Nice tutorial! I almost made one way back but forgot to hehe.

Here's the CS iron sight plugin or what they call COD weapon zoom plugin (cwz.amxx)...
http://forum.kgb-hosting.com/showthread.php?62808-COD-Weapon-Zoom-1-5&attempt=1
Only problem with that is the crosshair stays on when aiming down the sights.
I just use a crosshair remover plugin for this or just use hud_draw 0.

THis one removes the crosshair when aiming down...

but the vid is on hud_Draw 0 but it uses the slightly modified cwz.amxx plugin I think edited by
the guy who made the CW2 mod here but he won't share the sma for that, unless someone who has it
hope get's shared soon. Plugin is contained on the pack btw.

How it works?
The COD Weapon Zoom plugin simply works by loading a secondary view model when you right click the mouse so yeah it's like COD hehe. It looks for the second view model file configured on the cwz_weapon.ini. So that's it! :-)

Pros
1. It zooms in like the aug or sg552.
2. Secondary v models that are origin in a center way will act as aim down sights, cod style!
3. Built in recoil control.
4. You can iron sight all weapons including the scoped rifles and even the elite dual pistols.

Cons
1. No more secondary feature for m4, usp etc.
2. CWZ v1.5 doesn't remove the crosshair yet except the one on CW2 mod which I used and included on my skin/pulgins packs. (see my sig? hehe)

Wish CSS will has something like this as well soon.
