As the title says: how do I get it to work? ;)
I added a line $Tech Model: model.pof prior to $Model File: model.pof. Ingame old ani still pops up instead of the 3d model I specified. I even went as far as enabling "use models for weapons selection" in the launcher. ;)
What am I doing wrong? I probably grabbed one beer too many last night, but apart from that? ;)

Are you referring to the tech room view or to the loadout view of the weapon?
-
Tech room.
-
Hmmm... AFAIK both show ship and show weapon models apply only to the mission ship selection and weapons loadout screens not to the tech room.
-
The weapon's external model (the one rendered on your fighter/bomber) is specified by $External Model File: in the table. Note that the ship in question has to have external models enabled ($Show Primary Models: ( YES YES ) or $Show Secondary Models: ( YES YES YES ), each YES or NO referring to a bank, so you can set them individually) in the ship table. $Tech Model: and -weapon_choice_3d only affect the loadout screen.
-
You might also try deleting the old +Tech Anim: line, it may default to that when both are defined, and if you undefine it you should at least see the $Model File: entry without needing to even define the $Tech Model: entry.
-
I tried that originally. No luck.
-
If you deleted the tech anim, I don't think there's any sort of hardcoded default. You should have seen the model, or the game should have crashed, one or the other. I'm pretty sure about that anyway. Is it possible there's a table somewhere overriding what you're doing? That's the only other idea I would have, although it's probably asinine to suggest it.
