Left handed weapon model bullcrap

I'm trying to port a CSS M4 to Empires
But the M4 and almost every other weapon from CSS turns out left handed when I port it.



This is the where the M4 originally from: http://www.gamebanana.com/skins/79161

I tried to mirror the model in 3ds max, but the bones keep getting screwed up.
Is there a plugin for 3ds max or something that mirrors bones correctly?
Does anyone have any solutions to make it right handed?

 

afaik the original Counter Strike dev was a left hander and thus made all models lefthanded, later on came the console command to switch left and right handed. Maybe Valve later stuck to that "original -> left handed" idea.

Can't answer any of your questions :D

 

would such a command work in empires:confused:

Being a lefty myself i would enjoy that.

 

And the rest of the 364.25 days are for right handed people? Sounds good to me.

 

Guns are left because the guy was left handed, they kept it because it meant the cartridges ejected across the screen which looks cooler.

CS code mirrors the model, no idea how to fix it though.

 

I'd be immensely surprised if there weren't.
At least when it comes to handguns marketed to civilians.

Larger firearms could be a hard sell.

 

The absolute example P-90

 

Yeah some weapons are ambidextrous, and maybe some civilian ones are left-handed, but no military ones to my knowledge.

 

lol flasche.

I remember seeing that the M4 or some assault rifle/carbine can be switched for left handed (Goofy) shooters, too lazy too look it up though. But i do know you can have almost any gun made for a lefty, provided you can pay for it.

Being ambidextrous myself it is nice to have a gun that supports both styles. In fight where they guy your trying to shoot can come at you from any side like in paintball, its truly an invaluable skill. Just switch hands, and shoot him.

 

take off barrel, shoot everyone, win game.

that is, in close quarters.

 

Or put a thin nail or something at the tip of your barrel to make a splatter gun.

 

because l comes before r. duh

 

There's a console command that will switch it, but I think I removed it because the empires weapon models didn't work right with it. If you have access to the .qc files you can also fix it.

 

I love you Krenzo.

What qc command would fix it though?

 

What difference would it make on a handgun? You hold it in the middle of your body.

 

Explain left-handed keyboards to me.
