Two questions about player model

Devan · Post by **Devan** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 15:26

I'm making model pack for GZDoom out of Risen3D models. Risen3D has different models for player with different weapons in hands. I have defined everything good for marines (not player, but monsters). For example, marineshotgun keeps shotgun in his hands, marinerocket keeps rocket launcher. But is it possible to make player keep certain weapon in hands (without any modding)?
And other question is about player skin color. We can set 17^3 (4913) colors for player! How with skin? Can I make GZDoom use one skin for all colors?

No, because ZDoom, and therefore GZDoom, does not support per-weapon player sprites.

Can I make GZDoom use one skin for all colors

No. GZDoom's model code isn't really complete.

Doomsday Engine does this without different sprites...
Don't say "then go to play Doomsday Engine" because I like GZDoom's 3d floors and 3d slopes (and other things from ZDoom).

GZDoom's model support is rather unfinished and I'm afraid that with my current work schedule this won't change any time soon.
If you want something better, maybe you can recruit someone who can help me with that? Otherwise the chance that you get it any time soon is rather small...
