JUST MAKE SURE EVERYTHING ON YOUR MODEL IS ALLIGNED TO THE PLAYER.DFF YOUR ATTATCHING YOUR MODEL TO, you may have some model glitches but those can be fixed by tweaking...NOW possibilities would really be alot greater if someone figured out how to actually rig with envelopes and stuff

RIGGING literally meens just that RIGGING your model to work with player.dff's bones so you can play in game...

In smaller terms, you RIG a model to work in-game otherwise he runs around like a scarecrow....who has no animations except for "wobble back and forth with my arms strait out"

EPIC BUMP!!!

Well anyways I'm having the same trouble JayFoxRox had.

"Each vertice needs atleast one bone" etc

I've done this before and it worked just fine but now I only get this damn error.
