Modder resource: Complete viewmodel animation lookup guide

This guide contains a list of the amount of frames and fps of ALL viewmodels for easy animating.

Foreword

IF YOU ARE NOT A MODDER THIS IS USELESS TO YOU

It is crucial for you to have the same amount of frames and the correct fps for your animations to fit. The animations will be cut off on online servers or do other strange stuff if you don't adhere to the default. This guide lists all animations with the original Framecount and Framerate.

I've also added more useful data you might need to know for animations. like soudn events you can use, or porting animations from, one gun to another.

I'd reccomend using the sidebar to jump to exactly what you want.
There's a bunch of info before the actual data starts.
But you should definetly read the following info blocks:
Unused Sequences, _Layer animations, Correctve animations and Lookpose Blending

═══════════════════════════

IMPORTANT: Unused Sequences

Sequences marked with "UNUSED" are not used, but they must stay in the model.
If you delete them, the sequence order is changed. This breaks animation in online play.
Instead of deleting the sequences, use the same SMD that is your mesh. As seen below:

IMPORTANT: Interruptable Sequences

In a nutshell:
The _Layer sequence is usually the animation that you see. (Not the case for melee weapons)
Its length can be made longer than the non_layer to allow the _layer to be interrupted.

Example:
Lt.Rocky has made a weapon mod that replaced the M60 with a minigun.
The "fire" sequence is 30 frames at 30 fps, which is default. (1 second)
The fire_layer sequence a whopping 176 frames at 40 fps. (4.4 seconds)
He animated the barrels to spin out for 3.4 seconds after the firing anim "would" be over.
This allows you to shoot the gun while the barrel is still winding down.

Another example:
Some people make reload anims where the animation can be interrupted after inserting the magazine, just like some video games to it nowadays.

However, if a $sequence is immediately followed by another sequence, the _layer will automatically be cut of when the non_layer ends.
For example, the pipebomb item pickup non_layer is 30 frames, but the _layer at 50.
Since the item pickup is immediately followed by item_loop, you won't ever see the frames 31 to 50 of the _layer. In which case you only need to use frames 0-30 and don't pay any attention to the fact that the _layer has more frames.

If framecount match between non_layer and _layer, but use a different FPS, set blender to play back at the _Layer sequences FPS.

IMPORTANT: Melee weapon tomfoolery

The melees are really damn weird.
The whole "non_layer is the timer" only applies if the non_layer sequence uses the activity ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK and its _layer counterpart uses the ACT_VM_SHOOT_LAYER.
Which means for those few sequences, the non_layer really is the timer.

Non_layer sequences where the activity is ACT_VM_HITCENTER, HITLEFT, HITLRIGHT, ect, are both the timer and the visible sequence ingame. Making their _layer counterpart useless.
All events like sounds and particles need to be added to the non_layer sequence now.

Furthermore, all melee draw sequences are only one sequence. They are somehow coded to be cancellable after about one second. So even if you make a long draw anim because you want it, the game lets everyone cancel the sequence.

But really now. This will never truly be an issue for you if both the non_layer and _layer will always use the exact same animation.smd to begin with. So you don't really need to worry.
The only thing you should do is add the particle events and sounds to both sequences.

IMPORTANT: Playback Speed

Don't forget to check the FPS of the animations so your viewport in Blender or MAX plays at the same FPS. Some animations have 30, 34, 37 40, 50, 80 or other strange numbers. Blender's default is 24.

Not setting the playback speed would cause you to animate something looking too slow or too fast.

═══════════════════════════

INFO: Corrective Animations

Anytime you decompile a model with blended anims, you get "Corrective animations"
Delete all of these because they're useless for when you are making your own anims.

You can also get rid of the "crowbar writes...." comments, the addlayer and the "delta".

INFO: Looping animations

Looping animations (idle, helping_hand_loop and item_pickup_loop) can have any length and FPS, as long as they are longer than the default.

The looping animations are never stopped.
When a new animation plays it will not pause the looped animations, instead it will play "while" the looped animation is continuing in the background.

Example: let's say your idle is 120 frames at 30fps and the reload is 20 frames at 30fps.
If your idle animation lands on frame 60 when the reload begins the reload will play for 20 frames and resume your idle 20 frames later, on frame 80.

INFO: Multiple variations of animation.

You can have more than one version of every $sequence except idle. (Buggy in online play)
Example, two different reload sequences, or however many melee shoves as you want.

Copy the $sequence block, paste it at the very end of your qc and rename the $sequence.
The game will pick animations by activity of the sequence, not their names.
In other words, firing guns will load sequences with the activity "ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK_LAYER", reloading loads "ACT_VM_RELOAD_LAYER", ect...
That way you could have multiple different kinds of recoil movements or melee bashes to make your gun look special.

INFO: Omitting HelpingHand & ItemExtend

It's possible for you to just not use the hand extend animations when you don't want them.
They're only seen when looking at items for long enough.
Most people probably get the item before the $sequence starts anyways.

To omit the $sequences:

1. Make a weightlist with just one bone with weight of 0.
   weights in a weightlist only need to be written down if the weight is more than 0.
   If all bones are 0, you need to at least have one bone listed.
   
2. Use that weightlist in the $sequences.
   
3. Use your model as animation smd in those sequences
   
4. Remove the Sound event.

Just deleting the $sequences will break your model in online games.

$weightlist empty {
"ValveBiped.ValveBiped" 0
}

$sequence "helping_hand_extend"  		"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_HELPINGHAND_EXTEND" 1 
$sequence "helping_hand_extend_layer"  	"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_HELPINGHAND_EXTEND_LAYER" 1 
$sequence "helping_hand_loop"  			"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_HELPINGHAND_LOOP" 1 
$sequence "helping_hand_loop_layer"  	"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_HELPINGHAND_LOOP_LAYER" 1 
$sequence "helping_hand_retract"  		"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_HELPINGHAND_RETRACT" 1 
$sequence "helping_hand_retract_layer"	"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_HELPINGHAND_RETRACT_LAYER" 1 

$sequence "item_extend" 		"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_ITEMPICKUP_EXTEND" 1
$sequence "item_extend_layer"	"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_ITEMPICKUP_EXTEND_LAYER" 1
$sequence "item_loop"			"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_ITEMPICKUP_LOOP" 1
$sequence "item_loop_layer"		"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_ITEMPICKUP_LOOP_LAYER" 1
$sequence "item_retract"		"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_ITEMPICKUP_RETRACT" 1
$sequence "item_retract_layer"	"v_smg_uzi_ref.smd" weightlist empty activity "ACT_VM_ITEMPICKUP_RETRACT_LAYER" 1

INFO: IK rules

Models can make use of $IKchains, which are added as IKrules to $sequences.
Sometimes you make an animation of, lets say a melee swing, but ingame your hand lags behind.
IK rules fixes that.

You can add those simply by adding $IKChain lines to your weapon QC.
If you decompiled a weapon, you should already have a pair.
Then add the following line to your $sequence blocks:

ikrule "lhand" touch "ValveBiped.weapon_bone" usesource	
ikrule "rhand" touch "ValveBiped.weapon_bone" usesource

You can also do different variants like

ikrule "lhand" release	
ikrule "rhand" touch "ValveBiped.weapon_bone" usesource

To have the left hand no longer follow the bone, for sequences like Helping Hand or Item Extend where your hand has to disconnect from the weapon. But its better to just not have an IK rule, if that is possible.

But beware: Somehow having IKrules in the _layer and non_layer variant of your sequence ends up with your elbows moving in the _Layer variant.
So only use IKrules in _layer sequences, unless there is only one variant.
(Some weapons like SG552 have Idle_Raw and Idle, there the "_Raw" is the non_layer)

In the GIF below you'll see what i mean.
The sequence in HLMV is Melee_Layer, yet when the Melee sequence also has IKrules, the Melee_Layer elbow moves.

INFO: When is non Layer a timer?

For years we thought that the non_layer is always the "timer" sequence.
We recently figured out that this isn't the case. So i checked where this is the case.
In the below lists, the "Y" means the non_layer really is a timer.
Which means you could change their duration and make a longer, unskippable, anim.
A "N", means the non_layer is not a timer. Meaning anim time is coded outside of the gun.
You can always make anims that are longer than the non_layer to make cancellable anims.

You should make every non_layer and _layer the exact same lengh as this guide shows.
So this won't really be a big issue for you. This is just for when you really want to know.

Notes:

• For guns "CycleTime" in the weapon script defines the delay between shots.
  
• Shotguns reload anims can be immediately interrupted, if you have ammo.
  However, the reload loop anims seem to have its speed set by the _layer.
  
• Pistol Deploy anim can be interrupted way before even the original anim ends.
  TODO: Figure out actual timeframe.
  
• Thowable items pullpin anim can be held forever, until let got of LMB.

═══════════════════════════

Enough info.
Here's the raw data you want.

Note: Framecount starts at 0.

This means when i write "End Frame 20", it's not frames 1,2,3... its 0,1,2,3. The last frame being 20.
Blender starts with the first frame being 0 already. Should other tools not start at 0, you need to add one extra frame.
The "Numframes" command also starts at 1 instead of 0. so if you ever need to use it, make sure to add a frame there too.

Pistols

Single Pistol - V_Pistola
Desert Eagle - V_Desert_Eagle

Fire_Last and Reload_empty should use Fadein/out 0 between eachother.
The pistol and deagle share the same animation set, almost.

Idle	& _Layer			End Frame & FPS Irrelevant! idle_layer is actually the lookpose.
Deploy	& _Layer	End Frame 29	30FPS
Fire	& _Layer	End Frame 30	30FPS

Item_Retract	& _Layer	End Frame 20	30FPS

Dual Wield Pistols - V_Dual_Pistola

Dual wielded guns is a whole separate model.

Fire_Last and Reload_empty should use Fadein/out 0 between eachother.
Dry_Right_Idle_Layer can be a single frame anim with the slide back, subtracted from idle.

Shotguns

Note: the Reload should use Fadeout 0, while Reload_End uses Fadein 0.
This should avoid a glitchy frame when transitioning to and from Reload_Loop.

Wood Pumpshotgun - v_pumpshotgun
Chrome Pumpshotgun - v_shotgun_chrome

Pump shotguns share the same animation set.
The Reload_Loop has less FPS than the _layer, which is entirely irrelevant. Use 40 FPS for both.

Riotshield - v_riotshield

Unused and kinda broken, but can be unlocked and used by mods.
Even though the riotshield doesn't exist as usable weapon, the model does exist, so therefore you must adhere to the Framecount and FPS rules set by this unused model, lest you get errors when playing online. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿
Has no extending hand anims. You can copy the setup from any other melee weapon.
Has no lookpose. You can add a lookpose to the QC's end and "addlayer" it to Idle.

Soundevents - Guns

The following soundscript names maybe used in "event" lines in your $sequence.
I would not use the firing sounds though, unless you really need it for some odd reason.

Should you want it, Here's a spreadsheet linking which wav file belongs to what sound script name.
Thanks to Steam's really narrow UI, it won't actually show the whole soundname.
So, this is what we have to resort to...

Particles you can use

The following event in the fire_layer sequence defines what shell particle is to be used

event AE_CL_CREATE_PARTICLE_BRASS 1 "weapon_shell_casing_9mm shell"

weapon_shell_casing_9mm is the particle name.

It can be changed with one of the following:

	pre LS:
	weapon_shell_casing_shotgun
	weapon_shell_casing_rifle
	weapon_shell_casing_minigun
	weapon_shell_casing_9mm_fp
	weapon_shell_casing_9mm
	weapon_shell_casing_50cal
	
	Firstperson:
	weapon_shell_casing_9mm_L4D2_fp
	weapon_shell_casing_desert_eagle_fp
	weapon_shell_casing_Link_fp	(bullet belt link for the m60)
	weapon_shell_casing_rifle_fp
	weapon_shell_casing_rifle_L4D2_fp
	weapon_shell_casing_rifle_M60_fp	(shell with link)
	weapon_shell_casing_shotgun_L4D2_Orange_fp
	weapon_shell_casing_shotgun_L4D2_Red_fp
	
	Thirdperson:
	weapon_shell_casing_9mm_L4D2
	weapon_shell_casing_desert_eagle
	weapon_shell_casing_m60		(Is actually belt link, but also contains shell)
	weapon_shell_casing_M60_shell	(only shell)
	weapon_shell_casing_rifle

Likewise, the weapon script determines what muzzleflash is used.
HOWEVER if you want, you can pick a specific muzzleflash in the sequence so that script mods are compatible.
To add an alternative muzzleflash to your weapon, replace the AE_MUZZLEFLASH with the following:

event AE_CL_CREATE_PARTICLE_EFFECT 0 "weapon_muzzle_flash_smg_FP follow_attachment muzzle_flash"

The weapon_muzzle_flash_smg_FP is the particle name
It can be changed with one of the following:

weapon_muzzle_flash_assaultrifle_FP
weapon_muzzle_flash_huntingrifle_FP
weapon_muzzle_flash_pistol_FP
weapon_muzzle_flash_shotgun_FP
weapon_muzzle_flash_smg_FP
weapon_muzzle_flash_smg_silenced_FP

Here's a list of all somewhat useful particles i could find for the muzzleflash.
Warning, spawning partlicles via AE_CL_CREATE_PARTICLE_EFFECT too fast may cause a copy to appear at the map center.

[youjin]

gotcha, ty

[мяFunreal]

According to the sound script, bat.break, guitar.break, and tonfa.break use the same soundfile as pan.break. Being sounds/weapons/pan/pan_break.wav

I suppose they never even finished those sounds, as they abandoned the idea halfway before fully implementing it, so they used the plan as placeholder up until that point.

[youjin]

where are bat.break, guitar.break, and tonfa.break located? cant seem to find them like axe.break and pan.break. need to know their lengths to use them for other sounds.

[мяFunreal]

You are wrong.
Go decompile the original weapon and inspect the animation files. the end frames are 30 and 60.
no idea where you pulled your numbers from.

[您🍂]

strangely, sniper_helpinghand_retract and sniper_helpinghand_extend_layer are not 30frames and 60frames, they're 40frames i just tested.
not sure if this is related to subtract(with an idle animation) & delta parameters I'm using.

[Cheeeeen]

Many thanks

[мяFunreal]

I already made a whole guide about porting mods to other slots.
You pay no mind to the "extra 0 frame" when it comes to recalculating the fps.
You just go ahead and use the endframe numbers.

Here's that guide, btw.

[Cheeeeen]

"Framecount starts at 0."
Does that mean when I'm trying to make default M16 replaces Scar, I have to correct the fps of the reload animation to 20.1 (67*30/100) instead of 20 (66*30/99)? I really need some help.

[Unhappy Cotton Candy]

yay newer look, now I don't have to stretch my eyes to see if it's lying to me

[Platanitoo]

Nice tutorial Funreal
