deleting unused bones?

[Zieg]

i was wondering if there is a program that can erase bones that are not needed. i want to change a models animations but when i try to add or remove bones the model no longer works. i cant even add attachment points without the model messing up. any help would be appreciated.

Did you try magos? Just go to the node manager and delete any unneeded bones.

how can you tell what ones are not needed? i think im deleting the wrong ones. i delete all of them unless it says its being referenced so i leave it alone.

Why must you delete them in the first place?

i wanna drop the filesize down. the model is 500kb and i want to change the animations. i have been able to drop the model to 200kb but the model gets screwed up in the process. i really dont need too but i am hurting for space in my map and the lower it is the better.
