and that means? My question is could a .lod file tell where to place something?

dont think so

Nope, it has information about Level Of Detail changes applied to a model. I.e., a model farther away has less polygons than the same model right in front of you.

and that brings up a sore point. i hate seeing a player's legs turn into sticks as they run away from me in the distance. looks retarded.

Does anyone know how that guy added a gasmask to that player model?

I'm trying the same with cigar. I made it the same as the gasmask was made, just cigar and not gas mask, but only thing i don't have that th gas mask had was a .lod file

you have to add the model for the mask to the tiki file but you link to the tiki fopr the mask so that it loads any animations and makes it look like a gas mask i'm still trying to work out exactly how this was done but when i do i will post it.

I know how to add the cigar model to the skin model, but it shows at the players feet, I need to know how to add the model to the players hands or mouth. Please any ideas?

download sgt Kias gaskmask skin, and check out his tiki files

not to be rude but WTF!. I mean really I have done all this. The question still stands unanswered, Does .lod files have anything to do with placing items on player skins? And How Do I add items to a models mouth or hand? I know how to add the models. But how do I add them to the players mouth? is there a line telling like attachmodel then the location on the player model??
