Making weapons with gmax.

[=SM=Caboose]

I have folowed tutorials and made a simple gun in gmax. But when it is time to export the gun i have to use chimp. Chimp gives you an error if there is not an object named "frame". But with weapons you are supossed to use "frame gun". So I tryed exporting the gun linked to "frame" instead of "frame gun", and was able to export it but in tool I get a really weird error. Is it possible to link the gun to "frame" and succesfully compile it? Or is there any other way to export to .jms with gmax?
