3D & Animation Using Zed Meshes for Player Models?

[EpharGy]

I've had a basic attempt at using a Zed Mesh as a Player Model, I can get it using Player animations, but it doesn't have the right bone names to attach Weapons for 3rd person views.

Is there a way to fix this in the KFed?

I remember in KF 2.5 they used the stalker as a player model, but then again, I believe the player rigs and the zombie rigs were identical to the UT2004 ones, and last time I checked, the zombie and player rigs for KF are different... But, some guy did make a mod where the player models were zombies, I think he just linked the mesh and the animation up with eachother in UScript somehow. On the other hand, getting all the stuff to work correctly will require you to re-rig the models.

You can use other models and see how they did it if that would help.

Cheers for the links, I had managed to change the bones the mesh uses via code in a custom pawn, but the rotation is wrong for the attachment.

Yeah you have to re-rig their model to the characters skeleton (without changing scale or moving them).
