3D & Animation Custom Playermodels?

[Shakeno]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to mod Killing Floor by adding your own custom player model characters or skins, and if so, if there will be any "how-to-import" or "doing-for" tutorials soon, because I love using this kind of custom content

Thanks.

I really hope so. Custom content will really help this game gain replayability and everything. Hopefully TWI is more open to customizing this than they were to RO where it was basically restricted.

I've heard that custom skins don't work right now, but who knows.

Well custom content was available in ro? it just had to be server side if you wanted to use it online, and that was to stop cheating.

Server side only? Tasty. I must look into this.

In Unreal tournament 2004 you was able to use new skins and models..
its possible to do the same with KF but is hard for beginners like me

I dont know if ppl will be able to auto download your custom skin/model befor connection in the server you are playing..


Here you can see a model from UT2k4 in KF:

 

[zodiacswe]

what program are you useing to add new models?

i wanted to give it a try!
is it in the standar SDK?
if so, is there any Tourtorial in how to make them

 

[Shakeno]

I'd just need the base skeleton of the characters, for animation compatibility and of course, know which sockets to add, etc.

I hope player models not to be server side, otherwise it would suck. I know in UT2k4 you could use custom player model characters even if the server didn't have them. Other players who didn't have the model would see that player as the default model.

i tried to import ut2k4-models with pasting the files in the desired folders, but i didn't work properly... i get the entrys ingame with the correct picture, but there is no model shown... anyone knows why?

 

[Shakeno]

Maybe is caused due to non-skeleton compatibility or the models of the game requiring some special actions. That's why I'd like to know how to get the models for this game, and the base skeleton

Do developers have planned on releasing one or give some help on this though?

 

[Feuerkelch]

you might find them in the sdk.. i looked around and found the animations for holding a gun or crouching and all that stuff, so it might help you

Who wants the Left4Dead people? haha that'd be something

Just no...

Jason for the Scrake... Xenomorph crawler... I just wish I knew how to do it

Problem in replacing the player model, like I said it's only a replacement. YOu can not have more player model then the default 5 (i think). Also people have to have the model to actually see it.

Or at least it was like that in Killing floor MOD version.

Yeah, animations tell me the... animations name, but I'd need the base skeleton for them, otherwise I'd have to do them all from scratch...

Although I could think about that already... I'd just need to know the player model scales (sizes), offsets and such.

Nude Zoe plz, kthxbai

But seriously I would love more player models. I usually play with friends and right now it's hard to tell who's who, what with the similar player models and blurry name tags and all

 

[Krayzie]

That model looks sick! but it's not fittable in killing floor lol with that model you are the biggest monster in the game

OMG!!! I want louis . I always play as louis

thats true and it sux.. Im getting bored from the default models..

 

[Shakeno]

Yeah man, it does...

I don't mind about "people having to download the model first, otherwise they wouldn't see you", but having to replace default models... dunno... and well, I'm a bit paranoid of my custom player model being copied, so I don't really have plans to publish it at all... I wish it was like in Half-Life 1... you can put any player model you want, if other people have it, they see it, otherwise, default player model, and server doesn't load player models, because they're not server side, so the server doesn't need to have them and you can keep them personal for yourself, etc.
