How To Decompile Portal 2 Models
From what i understand the models are separate from the animation. The models have a set of bones which the animation file reads and moves the bones accordingly.
$includmodel "player_animations.mdl" means it uses animations from that file, yes. If your own model has the same bone structure and naming as chells/the one this player_animations.mdl uses, your model will have all animations from there, too.
Thanks for the reply.
Now to test things out, I decompiled chell, then recompiled her, looked into the model viewed and she had the list of sequences however she did not animate when I selected one. Is there something I am missing?
Joints tend to get horribly screwed up when you decompile Portal 2 models. I wouldn't recommend it for something you want to animate.
OK. So if I use the valve bipeds that I downloaded, I have to use the player_animations.MDL file that is unique to that biped set. Or grab chells biped set and attach that to my model.
Am I correct?
I'm not sure if it will work, but you can try. I don't know if Portal 2 uses the standard biped joint arrangement.
Alsome!! thanks, my model is working. But when i pick up a portal gun it moves along the ground with the player. I think i read a post on this a while back, but does anyone know how to fix this.
Do you know if it is possible to let me play as my model in co-op so that the other computer can see me playing as my model. I don't think it is possible without it being a my own custom hammer map.
Any advise would be appreciated.
