I am trying to make a 3d modeled skin and I know all about the SKININFO lump and the MODELDEF lump how ever I am confused on creating a 3d model into a skin.

In MODELDEF, create a model for the default player actor (DoomPlayer).

Code: Select all

Model DoomPlayer
{ 
   Path "MD3\Player"
   SKIN 0 "Marine_G.png"
   SKIN 1 "Marine_W.png"
   MODEL 0 "Marineextra.md2"
   MODEL 1 "Marine_weapon.md2"

   Scale 1.25 1.25 1.25

   FrameIndex PLYC A 0 0   FrameIndex PLYC A 1 154
   FrameIndex PLYC B 0 1   FrameIndex PLYC B 1 155
   FrameIndex PLYC C 0 2   FrameIndex PLYC C 1 156
   FrameIndex PLYC D 0 3   FrameIndex PLYC D 1 159
   FrameIndex PLYC E 0 4   FrameIndex PLYC E 1 160
   FrameIndex PLYC F 0 5   FrameIndex PLYC F 1 161
   FrameIndex PLYC G 0 6   FrameIndex PLYC G 1 169
}

Just tried that but the skin dosnt appear in the skins menu.

You can only define models for actors - not playerskins FOR actors.

As well, 3d models (for base) will not show in the skins menu.

Well that's cuz it was for the base skin. :p

Btw what does your SKININFO look like?

Actually I think you can. Just replace "PLYC" in the model's frame definitions with whatever your skin's sprite name is.

EDIT:
BTW Screenracer, I forgot to mention that you do need sprites in order to have a model (that's just how models work in Zandro). You can use empty images if you want, it doesn't matter. As long as you have lump names to assign model states to.

You need sprites for a 3d modeled skin? :o

Nope. Zandro will toss an error stating said frames do not exist in the actor.

As such, models cannot be used for playerskins. The only exception is Base, as it's not a skin in and of itself.

EDIT:
I still have that skins file poking around somewhere on my hard drive. I'll try to find it so I can see how it was done.

Huh. I could have sworn that someone had done it before. Unfortunately I can't look at how they did it because the download's gone.

EDIT:
Wow, I got ninja'd.

Let me explain what im trying to do:

Anyone who owns Duke Nukem 3d must have heard of the high resolution pack: http://hrp.duke4.net/ anyways I ripped the model and texture of Duke from that mod and I am trying to create a skin of it. I tryed replacing the PLYC in the models fram definitions however it said something about an error in frame 9 when I went in chasecam of the skin.

Heres the console.

And IIRC that 'skin' was a modified actor. I remember downloading it back then too.

For reference I reuploaded - http://www.mediafire.com/?fdlxnse4n22yl42

3D Skins are possible, but can be a little hard to get set up initially. I know from first hand. But IIRC it either only works with SSKIN or SKININFO.

@Screenracer, sounds like it's having trouble finding the required stuff. Send me over the pk3 and I can take a look.

Alright. Since mediafire is being a pain in the rear I had to use 4shared. http://www.4shared.com/file/k7XISHSK/3DDUKESKIN.html

Found out 3D model skins do not work with SKININFO. Only S_SKIN and S_SKIN will only work with .wad files, and also are extremely limited.

I got it kinda working by modifieing this: http://www.mediafire.com/download/fdlxn ... intest.pk3

However, dukes animations arent playing and his textures are a mess.
