Custom weapon animations

[computermix]

Just like custom player animations, I've been doing this with weapons.

There's this program called ultimate unwrap 3d. Imports .dts, so I bought it.

My Problem: I export as a .obj, .dae, etc. and when I import it into blender, there are no bones (armatures) or animations. There is the mesh and the materials though.

Question: what file extension/export file type should I use to get bones/animations into blender?

I can use any filetype except for:
(already tried)
- NIF
- BVH
- m5d (accually worked, but bones were messed up, wrong positions, no ani's)
- dae
- obj

Blender version is 2.49, and I have ultimate unwrap 3d 2.50.17 (not pro)

That's the problem there, when blender imports obj's such as that, it removes the bones along with the materials. Though I think it may be the .dts importer.
Not really sure, but try to export something different than obj.

try ms3d(guess)
or use model files noted in blender 2.49.

Is that not the .880 rifle?

[computermix]

No, thats the old school rifle. I could do the 880 though.

Oh, this looks like its solved too. If you look at the custom player animations thread, the fourth page has the solution

(use .smd files)
