ROBLOX 2007 Player Model

I do not play ROBLOX anymore and I do not condone the current state of the platform nor any statements or decisions by its staff. I am also done with this addon; any updates will be very small tweaks, no additions.

I have published the source files. You can do whatever you want with it, such as edits, fixes or continuations.

Source files: Google Drive

Note: this player model does not work in DirectX 8, as it was made using a special compiler (NekoMDL) to bypass arbritrary material limits.

Required addons:

Enhanced PlayerModel Selector - Fesiug's Edit (needed for changing C Arms color) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2257795841

Anyways, with that said... [h2]Party like it's 2007![/h2] This is a player model based on the player characters ROBLOX used back in 2007, prior to shirts, pants, gears, packages, heads, faces etc. being added. I tried to make it as accurate as possible, though some inaccuracies cannot be fixed.

Features:

• 9 hat set player models, 153 hats total (every single 2007 hat, a few backports of 2008 - 2010 hats, and 2 original hats)
• Several t-shirts shared in all hat sets (a chunk of which are imported from Novetus), currently with 2 sets of many t-shirts
• 32 classic part colors (including light orange, which was seemingly missing from the character customization page in 2007)
• Bonus zombie player model with extra faces
• Bonus player model with preset players
• Unique third person animations
• Death sound and third person jump sound
• Colorable C Arms (via Enhanced PlayerModel Selector - Fesiug's Edit)
• Breaks upon death (ragdoll also breaks, but can be re-assembled, or even put into a Stand Pose using an appropriate addon)

Q&A

How do I change the C Arms color?

[olist] [*]Get this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2257795841 [*]Select the "ROBLOX 2007 Player" player model, whatever hat set that has the hat you want. [*]Click on the "Hands" tab, and scroll down until you see something that looks blocky and white. That should be the C Arms the player model has. Click on it, and then click on "Apply Playermodel". [*]A new "Handgroups" tab should appear. Click on it, and you'll see a slider where you can change the color of your C Arms, just like the other body parts. Choose your color, and then click "Apply Playermodel" once more. [*]Garry's Mod usually resets your player model (including the C Arms) if it crashes and you weren't already using it. I recommend to disconnect or even quit, and then relaunch the game and go back to the map you were in, so that way your player model will be truly saved. [/olist]

How do I change my colors / hat / t-shirt?

Open up your player model menu, and look for the "Bodygroups" tab. Everything is determined by a slider. To change the set of t-shirts, use the "Skin" slider.

Why are the arms and legs symmetrical?

They are symmetrical because when I tried to make them asymmetrical, a bug would happen from there being too many models loaded into the bodygroups; all of the other bodygroups (parts, hats and t-shirts) would be randomized, and there was no fix to this other than to make the arms and legs symmetrical. Very few people have asymmetrical characters anyways, so it's not a huge deal.

Can you add any more hats?

No. This player model is already pushing the limits of the engine (hence why the hats are in sets). 153 hats is enough, and that already covers every hat from 2007.

Why are some of the weapons rotated or tilted weirdly, including the rocket launcher?

Unfortunately, a lot of weapon models are rotated/tilted themselves to work with the standard animations you see on the default player models and NPC's. There is nothing I can do about this, and getting the weapons to show up in front of the hand properly was very difficult and time consuming in the first place.

Shouldn't the hats fall off?

The feature of breaking apart upon death was completely random when I was messing around with compiling. I have not been able to replicate the feature at all, so I had to use the physics file from a slightly older rig.

Why are the textures slightly off?

Source and Blender have an issue where the UV's aren't pixel perfect. If I made the textures 1:1 scale, then the other colors would seep through on the sides (this still technically happens from a distance if you have anisotropic filtering enabled). I spent hours looking into this, but found no fix. The inaccuracies are so minor anyways, so just be glad you've got what you've got.

Something's not working! Why?

You probably have conflicting addons. Try disabling them all, and enable this one first, and then enable the rest one by one until you come across whatever is causing issues. Process of elimination is time consuming, but it works.

Does this work with Lambda Players?

Yes, at least Lambda Players Reborn and gLambdas. They will animate, have sounds and even break apart if using the player models. If there are any bugs with this, then they may be caused by another addon, as Lambda Players has no issues with the player models for me, other than the walking animation being slower (not an issue in gLambdas). You may also have their settings modified in a way that could cause issues with the animations. Meanwhile, Zeta Players handles animations weirdly, so they look odd in that addon.
