On the wiki, there's DS's tut for adding new weapons.

However, with the weapon mod, things are a bit different. What you want to do is this.
Find the big section with all the n = InitBlade(.... lines.
At the bottom, add a new line for your blade (or, add a new InitGun line).
Change the first bladeXX or pistolX to the next number, and the second to your model's name. Change the picture numbers to point to the picture you want (either a new picture, or reuse an old one), and the stats to taste.

Regarding the model _itself_, check DS's Locators tut on the PMT thread at the LIB. Linked, um, IIRC somewhere in the PMT Policy thread here or elsewhere here; or you can just go to LIB and go through all the pages of the PMT thread until you find it.

Nathen can a 3ds file can be used in POTC or thus it needed to be converted to gm so that it can be used in POTC?

 

[NathanKell]

POTC can _only_ use GM files.
The current only way to _make_ a file a GM is via Maya 4.5 and the SD2Export plugin.

 

[jack_sparrow_jr]

we ll ... do you know if that can be done with maya 6.0 and the plugin ?

 

[NathanKell]

Plugin works only with 4.5 TTBOMK.
