Two of my favorite new features, has to be the decompile and compile options, aswell as being able to take a screen grab of any UV map and use it as a fresh base for skinning.

Also now when setting up origins you will see the same view of your weapon model as you do ingame, which makes it much better, and even easier when setting up your origins.

The picture below shows the default bren model in wire frame mode in HLMV, over an ingame screen shot that i've used as a backdrop, as you can see it's a near perfect match to that of what you see ingame.

And having the option to show UV maps, allows you to be able to view all the UV maps of a model, which is a big plus for skinners and re-skinners alike.

Top stuff Jed.

I've just updated this tutorial for anyone that would like to learn how to change a weapons origins, using Jed's edited HLMV v.1.0, which makes the setting up of a weapons origins alot quicker and easyer then what it ever used to be.
