Hi,
Since switching to 3rd person camera I now want to replace the default player model with a RPG character.
I found some posts on the topic and edited my player.cfg But it does not pick up the change. I was trying to use as a test the mman from the mman directory
under /packages/models/rpg/characters. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Try useing this instead. You have to put in the models path from "models" onward. So r_char_mdl "ogre" or r_char_mdl "uh/chars/man". Hope this helps.

Hi, Thanks for the tip but I could not get it to work.
I now have coded in player.config I switched it to Wolf just to be sure it was different.
I am wondering if it is not picking up my player.config file?

Is there a way to verify that the player.config in
/data/rpg/games/my_dir/ is getting used?

Thanks Lou.

The player .cfg is in with the tips and variables? If it is, then I'm not sure what went wrong. If it's in SVN it might be a glitch.

My directory is:
/pas/data/rpg/games/Chronicles/*.cfg

You've got it in the right place. Your model should change when you go to Load Map and click your game. If it still dosn't work, I can't help since it dosn't seem that you're doing anything wrong. Oh, and you have to go to Load Map, not Load Custom Map. Load Map defines your game properties, including the player model.

Thanks I will check to make sure I do the Load Map,
if not then I will post in the Bug section so it can be checked out.

I tried loading the map both ways and it did not work.
I pulled down Eisenstern to look at how they did things and I see it looks to be hard coded
there is no player.cfg.

I got it working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem was 2 issues i think.
1.) default folder was overriding my folder stuff.

2.) I was loading my map from the command line of the rpg batch file so once I took off the -l option and did a load through the main menu like you
told me, it worked.
