A viewmodel is, basically, your arms and weapon. It represents whatever action your character is currently doing with their hands. ## What if I want to edit these viewmodels for myself? This isn't too hard to do, however it is rather tedious to edit the numbers, repack, replace, go in-game and check, repeat.\ Unpack the vpk then follow along. Inside **englishclient\_mp\_common.bsp.pak000\_dir.vpk,** in **scripts > weapons,** there are a bunch of text files with important details about each weapon that the game uses. For all but a few exceptions, you're going to scroll down until you see MP\_BASE. Right under that should be **"viewmodel\_offset\_hip"** and possibly **"viewmodel\_offset\_ads"** if you're using a viewmodel mod. If not, you can add them in like so:
These dictate the position of your weapon from hipfire or ads.\ As you can see there are 3 numbers after each of the offset lines. These change the position of the weapon, with 0 being the default position for each. The numbers are ordered in **X Z Y.**\ Positive X moves the gun to the right, negative left.\ Positive Z moves the gun forward, negative backward.\ Positive Y moves the gun up, negative down. Titan weapons, like Leadwall in the example above, will need larger numbers to make a noticeable difference compared to pilot weapons.
## What do all these file names mean? Some of them aren't the same as the names in-game... (I won't be using underscores due to formatting, but these are in order!)\ (Items marked out ~~like this~~ are not important and have no noticeable viewmodel) \ ~~ammo suck behaviors ----------------------------------------------- No clue~~\ ~~melee pilot arena ------------------------------------------------------- No clue~~\ melee pilot emptyhanded ------------------------------------------ Pilot melee\ ~~melee pilot sword ------------------------------------------------------ Cut sword melee~~\ melee titan punch ------------------------------------------------------ Every titan's melee position (besides ronin)
