3D & Animation adding new player model/Classes

[ExoCet-NAW]

this is really causing me some grief.

I am trying to add a new player model and classes for the darkest hour mod,
As it is a new player model, How do I go about adding it and the classes to go with it.

I have done the mesh,Textures and animations bit, that is showing up ok.
if I add them subclassed from and existing role (say RUassault class) does it use the new model or the existing RO model ?.

please help as I my brain can't take much more of this lol.

Have you done a UPL file for your new player roles? This is where the player model is assigned to the role.

You could d/l the fallschirmjager roles I made & take a look at how I used the russian tanker model for FJ (http://www.fileplanet.com/171090/170000/fileinfo/RO:Ost-Fallschirmjager-Add-on-&-sampler-map )

thanks Fennich,

I have followed your files and got the model ingame.
But have a big problem with the texture.

everything is fine in the anim browser, all textures are where they should be.
But ingame the main uniform texture hs a face texture on it, I have tried allday today trying to figure it out, with no luck.

Ingame

Anim Browser

the ingame pic is very reminiscent of the spawn ninja bug from the mod days...

 

[ExoCet-NAW]

so how do you get rid of it if it is that ??.

also the face texture it is using on the uniform, is not the new american one it is using for the face, as you can see the american one has hardly any hair, this looks like a russian face texture.
so something has corupted something along the line.

just noticed on loading log that it has a few errors.

"null can't resolve package name" or something.

do I have to do something else for it to locate the package ?.
I do have it in editpackages in the ini file.

 

[Fennich_FJR6]

Each new role should define the models to use in its defaultproperties - eg:

Models(0)="FJ1"
Models(1)="FJ2"
etc

Then in the UPL file, for each model (eg FJ1 & FJ2), the actual model used, the body texture & face texture are defined:

Player=(DefaultName="FJ1",Species=ROEngine.ROSPECIES_Human,Mesh=Characters_anm.rus_tanker,BodySkin=KG_Ger_Player_Tex.FJ.FJ_1,FaceSkin=Characters_tex.rus_heads.rus_face01,Portrait=Characters_tex.rus_heads.rus_face01,Text=ROPlayers.HeerStandardSoldier,Sex=Male,Menu="ROSP",Tactics=0.5,CombatStyle=1,StrafingAbility=-2.0,Accuracy=.5,RagDoll=German_tunic,BotUse=1,Race="German")

The only thing I can think of is have you defined the body & face skins correctly in the UPL?

Do you have the these lines in your mods default ini under [Core.System]

+Paths=../YOUR_MOD_NAME/System/*.u
+Paths=../YOUR_MOD_NAME/Textures/*.utx

Have you tried adding the following to your mods default ini under [Core.System]

+Paths=../YOUR_MOD_NAME/Animations/*.ukx

 

[ExoCet-NAW]

yeah I have that added to my default.ini.

realy running out of ideas what could be wrong, I have tried eveything for the last 4-5 days now and stillnot working right

 

[ExoCet-NAW]

thanks Fennich for you help,

I got it sorted now, Next problem is how do i get Karma/Ragdoll attached to the new model ???.

 

[DeV]

Is this a trial and error kind of thing? Solve one, get 3 new ones?

 

[Nestor Makhno]

Ignore DeV, he's just jealous because we haven't had player model implementation problems yet.

 

[Psycho_Sam]

Damn you Dev Always wanting more!
