psatkha, I have a question... Probably it's for you. Basically, the problem is that it takes a lot of time... Here's the situation: in Maya, I insert a new sword directly into the character's hand. Then, I delete the object, save the sword, and export it to the game. I apply the sword effect... But it ends up floating nearby, and I have to manually adjust its coordinates, which takes a lot of time. How can I simplify this? I read somewhere that it can be done in the map editor, but I've searched the entire editor and couldn't find where that function is...
It's simpler than you think - you need to use GrannyViewer to see the direction of the axes of the bone to which you're attaching the sword effect, etc. The Z-axis isn't always pointing upwards (the standard orientation for a head or helmet)! Then, in Maya, you need to center the model; for a sword, this is the center of the sword's handle - but the orientation along the axes should be done taking into account the axis orientation you saw in GrannyViewer!
