Installing template character

In this tutorial you will learn how to load and create the template character.

Steps

1. Re-download the 'Beta patch' using the Account manager and re-install it. Do this even if the version is the same.
   If you already have downloaded the 'Beta patch', delete it first in order to re-download it.
2. Download the latest version of the 'Tutorial resource pack'. In the '3. Advanced Modding / 1. Creating character' directory you will see the following files:
   • pack_character: This directory contains the 'Template character'.
   • testini: This directory contains the files that you can use in Test mode.
3. Copy the pack_character directory to your ./pack directory.
4. Use the Filemaker to convert the 'Template character' to the game .obj files. Use e.g. this sample script:

   #define SOURCES  "../pack/pack_character/sources/"
   #define RUNTIME  "../pack/pack_character/"
    
   maya_auto_copy     = COPY_DIR;
   maya_auto_compress = COLOR;
    
   Maya scene
   {
     src_path = "[SOURCES]";
     run_path = "[RUNTIME]";
     in_file  = "[SOURCES]scenes/char_template/body.ma";
   }
    
   Compgen compress0 {compress = true;}
