I've been searching all over the internet for a few days and I haven't been able to find a decent tutorial on how to change your character's viewhands in game. I've searched both this site and zombiemodding but still haven't found anything. Most of the topics I find are about people having a problem with this but then they simply post: "I fixed it" and then close the topic with no explanation on how they did it. I'm using the UGX Mod for my zombies map and I want to change the default marine hand to a model that has gloves on it or something similar to that. If anyone could help me out with the scripting and whatnot then that would be awesome.
The viewhands are set in _loadout.gsc. Just look for "zombiemode".

Thanks for responding.
I've edited the viewmodel lines under the zombiemode section in the _loadout.gsc but after building the mods and using the project mover to move the files, the new hands still don't show up in game. Its as if I've never changed them.
I'm a noob when it comes to scripting and changing stuff in the gsc and csv files. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing at times so I really appreciate the help
Here's my _loadout.gsc

// these precaches should only happen per level and campaign
// This will precache and set the loadout rather than duplicating work. add_weapon( weapon_name ) { PrecacheItem( weapon_name ); level.player_loadout[level.player_loadout.size] = weapon_name; }

It's an irrelevant question, because if you had set the viewhands correctly in code you would either
a) have invisible hands because you didn't include the hands properly in csv and did not precache them in script or b) would see your new hands and have it be finished.
But since you still see your old hands, then nothing has changed and you need to revisit your loadout.gsc

sorry for scraping in, but where are the viewhands for each player in zombies specified... can't find them in the loadout or the char_zomb_player csv or gsc
I decided to try changing the viewhands in my ugx loadout.gsc too, but I ran into a small problem. Everything seems to load fine, but when I try to ADS there is no animation...the crosshairs minimize but the hands do nothing.
This is what I set the _loadout.gsc zombiemode to:
Is there some kind of restriction with the new guns and these old waw models? I can't seem to figure out the problem, also when I change the interactive hands back to the black kit ones it seems to make no difference. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
