Model Changing in DoD - Page 3

Just to add to this, I tried to find a way to change the model for DOD for about 2 weeks, and also found failure, even posted on the damn dod forums about it and PMed one of the programmers (also asked them about spawning a player right after they die, they wouldn't tell me how).

I was unable to find any sucessful way to accomplish this, Zor if you find anything out please let me know.

Cant believe they didn't respond at the DoD Forums. Thats sucks ass. I guess that its up to SidLuke or one of the others to make a dod_set_model function for the next version so as it will work. Cause if you set it to that model Right from the begining and then block it from every changing the model except on like team changes etx. Then it should work. But thats DEEP in the code.

So an expert on the code needs to do this.

Cheers!

I also couldn't find a way to change player model. Sorry.

Doh....ok so its a flop then. Unless I can figure out wtf they are doing. Is there a DoD SDK? Probably not. At least some headers, or code I can read through? That would help.

Cheers!

Try posting on the forums again.. Maybe if multiple people do it they'll listen...

Also were you able to change the model at any point at all, but then it changed back?

Zor · 12-19-2005 , 19:08

Yes, I was able to change the model with the methods I had. But it didn't show up. As in I would change the model, but when in the game I didn't see any change on anyone. So, didn't know what to do thats when I started posting here. I also had a method I could call to set my model while playing, denada...nothing.

Cheers!

I know its not a perfect way to do it, but if theres no other way you could render the player invisible and attach an entity to them with the model set to the entity instead

im pretty sure the bones will automatically match up for animations and stuff

Zor · 12-20-2005 , 08:17

I could block the spawn. Then make spawn a new entity give it all the stuff it needs and the assign the player to that entity. But this isn't that important at the moment. I have been doing some updates on stuff, working on plugins for DoDPlugins.net, and thinking about taking over the WTF module. So making admin models for DoD isn't as important as all the rest.

Cheers!
