#1 In the DCF standardmesh their are 4 us body files

US_Body.sm
US_Body1.sm
US_Body2.sm
US_Body3.sm

When I open them in mac they are all exactly identical why are their 3? is it to skin 3 different soldiers that all i could think of

#2 Anyone know how I can make my tracer that im making look like a paintball when it hits an object?

#3 I am trying to get the solider to hold on to my weapon properly and I want to make a custom reload how do I go about starting this?

#3
Reopen your model in Max, align the pivot to the cross
Import your gun skeleton and align the base box to the Bip01 R Hand box
Import the usSoldier.ske (uncheck as boxes and is weapon)
Select Bip01 R Hand, import your gun skeleton (check as boxes and is weapon)
Select the gun pieces and replace with your model

Importing .baf from animations/weapons folder

Start with ...Deploy.baf
Import the .baf
Launch the animation and see what's wrong
Align the Bip01 L Hand to the gun handle setting the animation keys frame/frame
export the .baf, overwrite.

Same with ...fire.baf and so on

#2
Make an effect and assign to the projectile
i.e ObjectTemplate.endEffectTemplate e_paintballSplash

#1
Sorry i don't know
