Hello!

This question doesn't really fit in the realm of a request...it's really just a question. And maybe YOU can help! :D

i've always used a Doctor Light skin on a male_cape_headfin mesh from back in the day, from when Vertex was known as Bobby69. there's nothing wrong with it; it works fine.

but what i'm wanting to see is if there are other meshes other people have put the bad Doctor on, because the Bobby69 mesh will only use, as far as i know, it's original keyframes. or, even better, what i'd love to know is if anybody knows of any other keyframes that will work with that mesh (the cape separates from the body if you use other keyframes), because i'm hoping to hit the jackpot and find one with some active defenses, area attacks and direct attacks, as well -- if you're a fan of evil Doctor, then you probably know why.

thanks for any help anyone can provide -- i have a feeling Light's going to turn up in Justice League of America before too long!

If it's a male_cape variety, it should work with any male_cape compatible frames, of which there are a good variety.

thanks for taking the time to respond.

but, um, oops. see, i was imprecise about the mesh, and that's my fault.

i'm using the malefin_basic_cape69 mesh.

so what happens is that the male_cape keyframes don't animate at all, but for a reason that i'm quite sure is beyond my ability to understand, it's the male_basic keyframes that cause the cape to separate from the mesh.

i've gone through the usual suspects -- all of the Grenadier keyframes from NPI, as well as Renegade's MC_superman kfs, but no dice.

any other suggestions?

I'm using a hex of Taskmaster Cordless by TAP43, TMCL_Dr Light I, specifically.  I wish I could tell you where I found it, but I can only find one of his Yahoo groups at the moment, and it's not in there.  As expected for a TM mesh, it's using the rather extensive TM keyframes.  Perhaps it's got what you're looking for.  Here's a quick image of what the mesh looks like.





EDIT:  Thanks to another thread in the Request forum, I've found where I stumbled onto that mesh:  http://www.gammapatrol.com/files/TAP43/

well, son of a gun!

thanks much -- heading there now! :thumbup:

I've been working on a tvlite version of Doctor Light.  I have it mostly finished, I just never got around to completing it and skinning it.
