Gun Modeling

I'm fairly new to this modding area. i seached and found a cmp tut but i couldn't find anything on modeling the gun it self. could someone point me in the right direction: can i use ms3d for it, what are the hp's you know where it fires from, which side of it is mounted to the ship? any of this would be a great help. oh and BTW what does MMORPG stand for?
EDIT: I also need to ask for putting a weapon into mod format do you put just the weapons text and files like a ship or do copy the ini's and add your text. and is the class determined in the infocard? does anyone know of a program to make infocards for weaps or can tell me about the xml formatting? i dont know the <weaponclass>X<weaponclass> or whatever it is you type in the xml for a weapon infocard.

Tightan,

Try doing a search.. on modelling new weapons.... there is a tutorial on TLR, I know there is - I did it...

This question crops up from time to time..... tho not many custom weapons appear in game as a result...

For everything except the gun image you see on the ship hull, Link

And Harrier's tutueral. Would not a gun be the same as a ship in terms of useing milkshape to draw it out then skin it? Also, as a lot of the guns look alike, are you tring to make a radically different one?

I'll be making three guns, two missiles, and two torps. each type will look different eg guns all same, torps all same, etc. and yes these will look different than the others totaly unique, more specifically im makin a mod with these new weapons and a new ship. the ship is already done, i just need to do the weaps.

Tightan,

Duh.. I was talking about weapons... not ships.. they do have to be modelled and hardpoints added and the tutorial is there.. took me about 10 seconds to find - using the search function...

Oh well best of luck working it out for yourself.... I was prepared to help, seems you dont need it...
