I've been looking into fable modding for the past week (and downloading stuff from this forum for the past month), and I've come across dozens of guides teaching me how to do stuff like make sticks, or roughly popsicle shaped weapons. My game is now littered with the spawn of my horribly simple creations (not that I mind, stabbing the Guildmaster with a cylinder was pretty entertaining). A day ago, I got interested in the idea of making some ranged weapons, specifically weapons that work like the crossbows or repeater crossbows in Fable (trying to make a rifle, and perhaps a crossbow or two). But I hear say that ranged weapons require rigging for animations. I quote morerunes from a comment on YouTube;

I haven't figured out how to do bows yet, because the bows require you to rig them for animations, but you would need to make the shot creation dummy helper (I can't remember where that is supposed to be, I'll have to take a look some time)
If you want to, you are welcome to try it yourself, but first you need to know which bones to weight and stuff, and you need to know where each bone goes.

nah, the only ranged things you wouldn't have to rig is throwing objects (don't ask me how ot make, never tried)

I gather from the latter quote that crossbows/repeaters need to rigged too. However, I haven't the slightest idea on how to do it. Nor do I know how to make a "shot creation dummy helper" (unless its the same as making augment helpers). And Googling the terms hasn't turned up any useful results either.
I know a few dudes over here have made ranged weapon mods that work like crossbows/repeaters (BlueTooth's Arquebus, a shotgun), so can anybody guide me through the process? Or atleast redirect me to a tutorial I could follow?
No sigs here, move along.

yes, the shot creation dummy is where the arrow appears when you shoot. It might be sideways it you don't do it correctly, so make sure the z axis it pointing the direction that the arrow fires (it seems the z axis is kind of like the pointer for direction, so make an empty, and rotate it -90 degrees on the appropriate axis, and the z should point away from the crossbow
sorry for misleading you, I thought a crossbow would need to be rigged
