hey
i created some new models out of the stock ones (switching heads etc.), but:
they are all weird bent, their body is between their legs and over their hip, there's nothing.. lol
why does this happen and how to fix it?


code:

modelPlayer( body , view , head , helmet )

{

	self detachAll();



	if( isDefined( self.pers["savedmodel"] ) )

	{

		loadModel( self.pers["savedmodel"] );

	}

	else

	{

		if( isdefined( body ) && body != "" )

		{

 			self setModel( body );

		}



		if( isdefined( head ) && head != "" ) 

		{

			self.headModel = head;

 			self attach( self.headModel , "" , true );

		}



		if( isdefined( helmet ) && helmet != "" ) 

		{

			self.hatModel = helmet;

			self attach( self.hatModel , "" , true );

		}



		if( isdefined( view ) && view != "" ) 

		{

			self setViewModel( view );

		}

	}

}

This is a known problem, did u set in the asset manager the character type on animated ?

You have to set it on multiplayer body.. I hope this will fix it.

these are stock, uneditet models, so i guess they dont work in MP...
ehm i'll have a look on the xmodel files with hex editor and if it does not help i guess i have to export them and convert them?! gaddamn it :D

Single player character models don't have the multiplayer tag "torso_stabalizer" - which is what keeps the model in an upright position in MP.

The only way to get a single player character model to work in multiplayer is to export the model to .OBJ, edt it in Blender (which is free), and add the tag "torso_stabalizer" to the model's rig (just below the joint "j_spine4"). Then, export to COD using the new Blender COD plugin Sevenz/CodemanX has been working on, and then create the character again in Asset Manager.

The eXtreme+ mod for COD2 did this for the SP female "Diana" model, which is why it works in MP.

im using Sevenz blender tool to edit the models, i can export them, but how do i create the bones/tags?

i tested it with one single bone, it is shown in the XMODEL_EXPORT-file

NUMBONES 1
BONE 0 -1 "tag_fx"

BONE 0
OFFSET 0.000000, 0.000000, 100.000000
SCALE 1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000
X -0.000001, 0.000000, 1.000000
Y -1.000000, -0.000000, -0.000001
Z 0.000000, -1.000000, 0.000000

but after compiling & testing there is no "tag_fx"
i also tried tag_origin as name

my steps in blender are:
>add>armature>single bone
>select bone>ctrl+p (make parent)
>export

is there something wrong? what i have to do to create tags?

Sounds right how you do it...

To what did you parent your tag_bone?

My script allows only 1 armature, so if you add two, it will take the first it finds (usually the first created) and ignore the other. Maybe thats the problem.

Do you need support for multiple armatures?

I parented (object, not bone or weights) a cube and a single bone, uv unwrapped, exported and converted. The xmodelparts-file contains tag_fx like i guess it should (CoD4). Appears to be working.

in first case i want to add a single tag to the model to play an effect on it or to link sth to it ingame
and im only using 1 armature

yes, it seems to be my faulti have to try that

thanks for reply

could you explain your parenting steps a bit more? :/

i selected the object, then the bone > STRG+P > set the object's parenting
i also tried it the other way around (select at first the bone), but both times no success .__.

Here you go:

If you add a single tag only, it will become the origin for the model (you can see it at the end of my above video, the blue box is the origin and also tag_fx)

Thank you so much!

I'll try that asap :)
I guess if you add another bone to this tag, it will be the same way (still static of course).

Thanks again

The root bone will become the origin in radiant, compare the video and the image:
