I'm working on the coding for the mod Grabenkrieg. I have created our own GKPawn class that extends RSPawn.
This works well, I have my Roles set up and they work with my GKAlliedPawn/GKAxisPawn which extend GKPawn.
My custom GKAllied/Axis Level pawns are referenced in our custom GKGameInfo, this also works well.
Everything works fine until I want to swap the character meshes with my own.
I have created a package CHR_GK_IGA and imported my SkeletalMesh with textures and everything. Created a MIC which uses the RS common characters material as a base.
Everything looks fine in the SDK.
But when I replace the Mesh in the code it doesn't seem to work ingame. It seems to fail at loading the mesh/MIC and reverts back to an untextured default RS Pawn.
Before making GKPawn entend RSPawn (Instead of ROPawn) and doing a few other changes I used to use a package made by Blitzk.-Bob that at least could load the Tunic mesh, but not the material.
One weird problem was that I had to set the game Character Detail to LOW or I would get a floating character...
But now it doesn't even load the mesh if I use that package either.
This is very confusing for me and I would like some feedback.
The package is stored in Unpublished/Packages/Grabenkrieg
The scripts are loaded and work, just not the mesh swapping.
All Scripts compile with no errors/warnings.
I use -useunpublished in the game. I thought that maybe I had to cook the package but I don't know how to do it, since cooking my test map doesn't cock the character package. It does cook my test GKGameMenues package though.
