Hi,
I’m just trying to get a way through the files that are involved in skinning the playermodels.
Me thinks the following:
[ol]
[li]the playermodel-file points to a skin-file[/li][li]the skin-file points to[/li][ul]
[li]a shader-file if one is available[/li][li]a TGA- or a JPG-file if a shader-file is not available[/li][/ul]
[li]the shader-file points to a TGA- or a JPG-file[/li][/ol]
Is this correct?
if there is no shader available it creates default shader, which points to a picture file, if no picture is avaiable default shader is created ( orange-black grid )
Does anybody know how is the char-files (“characters/temperate/allied or axis”) are involved?
characterDef // file start
{
skin “cvops” // used for skin files, added after model names, like body_cvops
mesh "models/players/temperate/allied/cvops/body.mdm" // path to body model, etpro loads it on server as well
animationgroup "animations/human_base.anim" // human_base contains pathes to all animation files used for this character
animationscript "animations/scripts/human_base.script" // this scripts uses data from above.. both group and script are loaded on server
undressedCorpseModel "models/players/temperate/common/naked.mdm" // need to comment these two ones ? :nag:
undressedCorpseSkin "allied_cvops" // similar to 'skin' one
hudhead "models/players/hud/head.md3" // also used in thirdperson as well !
hudheadanims "animations/human/heads/base.anim" // animations for head ( number of frames, start, FPS .. )
hudheadskin "models/players/hud/allied_cvops.skin" // skin for head model
}// End of file
Thnx again Jaquboss.
I was more interested in the “skin” line of the “char”-file (haven’t asked it sorry).
So the source code is pointing to a “char”-file.
This “char”-file points to a “skin”-file (named like MESH_PATH_NAME + “_” + SKIN_NAME + “.skin”).
In the above example it would point to:
models/players/temperate/allied/cvops/body_cvops.skin
And rest see above.
