FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Is it possible to change the player model ? If so how ? Couldn't find much info on the dev Wiki for this . The only thing I can find is the "set_animation()" function on the Player Object . But there should be a way since the default model has little animations you can play with .

Check stu's 3d_armor mod, it shows you how to change model and texture:

Creatures by MirceaKitsune might not quite be what you have in mind but it does offer interesting gameplay possabilities

Thank you all . There should be an article in the dev wiki for this in my opinion .

I agree, default.player_set_model and friends should be documented in lua_api.txt, although the dev wiki does at least contain a reference to them under Global tables

BTW, how is the policy for giving out wiki-acounts ?

also the "Get Comfortable [cozy]" mod might be of interest.
