ik that, but well... it just seems a bit too ineficient to me. I think i can just use a custom pose, cause in the end the hands did align with the weapon's location, and the rest of the body is rigged properly, thats because i think that the way valve handles animations is not by offsets from the location of each bone but like actual coordinates where the bones must be from the origin point of the mesh, which means i can put the bones in any position i want and not respect the original pose. What i think is that there is a problem with weights as you said before, and i have tried lots of different things but im going to give up at this pace cause im getting tired by this oof

if i understood you correctly, you mean that i should be moving the vertices by hand right?

but wait, so if i do that it would mess up a lot of stuff, i'd need to be correcting a lot of vertices...

Like, how do i rotate the mesh to be in A pose if it has no bones from before? i'd have to use the proportional editing tool i guess but that'd modify parts i dont want to :c

And how do i do that?

No. If there is a way to alter rochelle's rest pose, and have the mod still work, I'm not aware of it. I think the creator of Crowbar (ZeqMacaw) has a group for l4d2 modding too. They might have a discord too. Not sure.

Your best bet, from my knowledge, is to rotate the mesh so it's in an a-pose.

yeah, those parts have weights but that weight is on other bones that are in the exact same position as before... i might need some live help here, or its going to become imposible to fix this, like realtime teacher i mean or something idk xD this thing is driving me NUTSSSS

thats why i can import the pose from rochelle, because the bone names match, otherwise it wouldnt affect the mesh because the bones would have no vertex groups assigned.

thats what i did, im using rochelle's skeleton
