Hello everyone, again.

Here I got an another question. Every single custom map that has UGX mod in it, always have the official UGX mod viewhands in it.

I would like to change them, I know which viewhands I want but I don't know the name of it but I will try to find them.
I was just wondering if I could change them becuase every UGX map that I have played always have the same viewhands, so I just guessed that it is harder to change them in a UGX map than it is in a stock map.

So myy question I have today is, how do I change viewhands in a UGX map?
And how do you change viewhands in general in waw?

It's not any harder than with a stock map. Just go into your _loadout.gsc and edit these lines: (your viewhands will be different, I was testing some stuff and ended up commenting it out since I now use a custom function for player specific viewhands, and I'm too lazy to look in the original file)

set_player_viewmodel( "dempsey_viewhands");
set_player_interactive_hands( "dempsey_viewhands");

Make sure you add a "xmodel,YOUR_VIEWHANDS_HERE" line to your mod.csv.

Does'nt UGX mod have a custom loadout?

If it did, am I supposed to change it in UGX_mod._guns.iwd/maps?

I looked at the UGX loudout, and there are MANY places were it says set_player_viewmodel.
I am not sure if I will have to change to all of them or only one of them.

There are many viewhands and most of them are not the same. I mean it is a mix of viewhands were it says like russian viewhands, us marine viewhands, black kit. And other viewhand stuff.

Any specific line were I will have to change viewhands in the custom made UGX loudout.gsc?

Look for this:

else if( GetDvar( "zombiemode" ) == "1" || isDefined(level.ugxm_settings) )

Oh, so you mean that I will have to change viewhands at

[/set_player_viewmodel( "viewhands_custom");
set_player_interactive_hands( "viewhands_player_blackkit");]

Which is some line under the line you gave me.
Am I right?

Oh no I failed with code tags again, well go ahead, mess up my account if you want to @Sajeone.

Yeah, change those and add the viewhands you want to mod.csv and it should work.

Alright, thank you so much @JR-Imagine!
Now I will try to find the name of those viewhands.

Okey so the viewhands are called viewmodel_usa_marine_rolledup_player, so I added replaced the black kit, custom viewmodel stuff and added the viewmodel name at both lines.

And then I typed the text at the mod.csv
And when starting the game I have a flying M9 above me that follows me were ever I go, and there were no viewhands either.

I have a backup for ugxm_guns.iwd so I am not worried.
But what am I doing wrong?

I forgot you can't use cod5 viewhands with cod4 guns. -.- (unless ugx fixed that) IDK why but their anims bug out, but a flying M9 is quite weird tough... Try recompiling your mod to make sure the viewhands got compiled.

Alright then, I use my backup.
Thank you anyway! At least I have now learned how to change viewhands.
