Hi there.

First off let me say hello. My name is Dean and I have been working within the gaming industry on a professional level for over 20 years. working on titles such as Star Wars Battlefront wher eI was the Ead artist and also the F1 and Wipeout franchises to name but a few.

Anyway. I am currently lecturing at St Helens College in the UK and am learning Unreal 3 for our modules and am just going through the process of creating and importing a character into the game. Everythings going OK so far apart from the fact that the shoulder pads for the character I have created arnt showing up in the character creation set up.

I have checked the Custom character .ini files and everything seems to be typed in correctly but the pads jsut dont want to show up.

I was wondering if anyone here has experienced this and might have any hints or tips.

All the best.

Dean :D

Do you have some screencaps to show us what is going on? or maybe capture it on video to see what is happening ? Might just be bug on the code.

I will try and get some screencaps tomorrow as I am heading out in a moment. But yes I will get some screengrabs and maybe copy the code here too as I might have typed something in wrong.

Cheers for the input.

Dean :D

When I was attempting to import a custom character a few months ago, I also ran into the shoulder pads problem.

For me, at least, the issue had to do with naming conventions. Apparently the imported shoulderpad skeletal meshes have to be named with _LShoPad and _RShoPad subfixes. For instance, "YourCharacter_LShoPad"

These subfixes can be elaborated with numbers like _LShoPad01 and _RShoPad01.

However, in the UTCustomChar.ini, you refer to the shoulderpads only once:

Parts (Part=PART_ShoPad,ObjectName="Your_Package.Meshes.YourCharacter_XShoPad01",PartID="F",FamilyID="IRNF")

You refer to them with _XShoPad or _XShoPad01

Don't know if that's the issue or not. Best of luck!
