I'm curious how this works, or more accurately, what its syntax is in "worldspawn". Thanks

func_model doesn't go in the worldspawn.

As for syntax...
{
"classname" "func_model"
"origin" "240 -208 176"
"model" "models/plants/bigleaf2.md2"
}

Wow, I'm a moron. Thanks Jits. Some how I had accidentally put it in the worldspawn (I didn't mean to say 'worldspawn' before though).

Edit:

Ok, I got the model working right, now how would I skin the thing?

"skin" "(skinname)", I believe, though I've never done it. I don't think people will like having player models on the map, especially when the oldmodels option is available.

I don't know if you can specify the skin for it. Also, player models work differently than regular models when it comes to skins.

Yea, I know. I just had an idea to have a player frozen in a block of ice, or something similar.

Ok, this is what I mean by the ice thing:

Odd position to be frozen in.

yeah curl him up in ball

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #9 on:** April 05, 2007, 11:57:49 PM »

... I haven't gotten there yet! I need to skin him first!

Spook · « **Reply #10 on:** April 06, 2007, 12:03:47 AM »

cavemen had skin, they were well preserved!! lol but yeah, that would look cool to have a "fake" player stuck in ice. Then make a real player spawn in one filled with water in the center ;P

better make a model of trees, so dp could have realistical trees. And im sure there must be something else what needs to be done as .md2 , because doing them with brushes would intercourse up the realistical part.

hope i made my thoughts clear.

I've thought of that, but I'm not that good at modeling. Not to mention that I don't have an md2 editor (unless Blender can export it).

Edit:

Ok, Jits is probably gonna murder me for this, but I have successfully (kinda) skinned the model. However the means by which I accomplished this could be considered cheating. So, with that said, does anyone know of a good md2 editor so I can extract the player model, put it in a separate directory and skin it?

jitspoe · « **Reply #13 on:** April 06, 2007, 05:58:46 PM »

The player models aren't in md2 format -- not the new ones. I could post the 3dsmax sources after the weekend when i get back to my apartment.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #14 on:** April 06, 2007, 06:57:20 PM »

They're in .skm, right? But the .3ds sources would be awesome.

TinMan · « **Reply #15 on:** April 09, 2007, 08:22:01 PM »

Yes! Post 3dsmax sources, I shall make them buff men. =]

I'm not sure what all was needed / what's actually used, so I'm just uploading everything: http://dplogin.com/files/mediasource/models/dpchar/

It'll be a while before it's all completed -- over 200 megs. All this content is GPL.

Wow. I thought it would be one file!
Thanks!

jitspoe · « **Reply #18 on:** April 10, 2007, 07:15:23 PM »

There were lots of different development stages and parts put together. Also, I put every animation in a separate file to help make it simpler to work on (and so I could test the looping). There were also 3 different people working on it (S8N, his coworker Rob, and myself).

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #19 on:** April 10, 2007, 08:18:25 PM »

Yea, I noticed the separate files for the different animations. I was just planning on getting poses, but the animations can come in handy.
