replacing weapons

[crackhead]

i have compiled my crowbar model of which i have replaced the model and when i launch the game when the crowbar is selected there is just part of a red box in the top left hand corner of the screen which bobs up and down when i walk around. what does this meen?

That your model didn't work, probably.

Can you view the model in the Model Viewer without any errors?

no i have a different sort of error now. when i change the model in xsi and add my sword instead of the crowbar i merge the models together than envelope the vertices to the model. now when i export the smd i cant compile it because it cant find the bones. now when i import them back into xsi there is just the model but no bones.

is it all one mesh? the entire model including the hands must be one mesh. otherwise i dont know what your problem is.
