Modification Help / Re: [Blender Plugin] New DTS/DSQ importer and exporter (added WIP FAQ)

its a lot easier to export with this system assuming you already know how to model/apply textures/animate in the modern blender.

Install the dts exporter as you normally would (file > user preferences > addons > install from file > select .zip you download off the github).

for items:
Make your model scaled to this reference model, and use empties instead of bones to represent positions like the muzzlepoint/ejectpoint (by default the mountpoint is automatically generated at the center). Export as .dts, and done.

I can provide reference .blends you can use to understand how to make animations/format the model if you need.

From what I remember, that is a whole lot less steps. Though in 2-3 years time, I've forgotten alot of the little bits. I never actually learned from a tutorial because I couldn't wrap my head around it, so I bugged someone into teaching me the process in realtime through steam chat. Meanwhile, people who never learned to begin with, it would still be good to have a proper tutorial with this method.

I'll try to re-learn what I can the next chance I get, but there was a reason I needed a tutor to begin with.

So, is there a tutorial or anything I can use with this in place (2.78, the version on Steam) to make weapons/items?

I started working on some back in... 2014 I think. I was using the old method of switching back and forth from 2.49b and whatever the newer version was to make things work properly. I had someone helping me learn as I went. I got like 5~ out of maybe 20 weapons in working order with this method, but stopped as I got a full time job and all sorts of other stuff popping up. Now I want to start working on this stuff again (Because I'm super happy with my models) but I've forgotten alot of the technical stuff, and I think it would be a good idea to start fresh. I get full weekends off now, so I have time to do cool stuff again like this, and I have the creative itch.

These are holy-stuff awesome. I can't wait to see them in action. And I was just about to post a picture if the De Lisle Carbine saying how it would really fit, even though you said no more suggestions. But hell, you already have it on the list!
