SkinnedPlayerModel:
- Added _print_tree debug to see GLB scene structure at runtime
- Auto-play Idle animation on load
- Added periodic debug output for animation state
- Only change animation when target differs from current
Third-person camera:
- F1 toggles between FPS and third-person view
- Third-person camera positioned behind/above player
- Smooth follow with lerp
- Camera tracks player position each frame
- Fixed Blender export: remove FBX armature modifier before scaling,
then transform_apply(scale=True) before creating new armature
- Model now exports at correct 1.8 unit height (verified in Blender)
- SkinnedPlayerModel now polls MovementStateMachine in _process
to drive animations based on movement state
- Player 1 gets Miku at origin, others get procedural humanoid at y=-0.9
Pipeline:
1. Downloaded TDA-style Miku model from Sketchfab (19MB FBX, 38K verts)
2. Imported to Blender, scaled to Godot humanoid proportions (1.8u tall)
3. Created clean 17-bone humanoid armature (Hips/Spine/Chest/Head/Arms/Legs)
4. Auto-weight-painted mesh to armature
5. Added Idle (breath bounce) and Run (cycle) animations
6. Exported as GLB with embedded animations (3MB)
New:
- SkinnedPlayerModel class: loads GLB with own armature+animations
- Player 1 spawns with Miku model, others get procedural humanoid
- Completely separate from procedural model system
Files:
- assets/characters/skins/miku_rigged_final.glb (3MB, 48K verts, 17 bones, 2 anims)
- characters/skinned_player_model.gd
- Removed old procedural GLB attempts
Skin System:
- PlayerSkin resource class (model_path, color_tint, etc.)
- SkinManager with default skins: Default, Red Team, Forest, Miku
- HumanoidModel.apply_skin() supports both GLB model replacement
and procedural color tinting
- Procedural meshes auto-hide when GLB model is loaded
Miku Skin:
- 43-part procedural model generated in Blender (headless)
- Twin tails, headphones, thigh-high socks, idol outfit
- Teal/cyan color scheme with red accents
- Exported to assets/characters/skins/miku.glb
- Applied to player 1 in test level builder
Pipeline:
- Blender 5.0.1 + MCP addon installed
- Bridge script for socket-based Blender control
- docs/3D_ASSET_PIPELINE.md documents full workflow
Problems fixed:
- Player spawn moved from inside central platform to open area (z=20)
- Removed broken internal stairs inside tower (disconnected ramps)
- Removed corner towers, walkways, stepping stones, wall-run corridor,
wall-climb surfaces, grapple anchors — all were overlapping or unreachable
- Reduced arena from 96x96 to 80x80 for tighter gameplay
- Crates properly spaced (1.5u apart), no overlaps or intersections
- Reduced from 6 spawns to 4 (corners only), each with 2 L-shaped cover
walls and clear exit routes — no more 3-wall traps
- Spawn alcoves use 2 walls max with open diagonal exits
- Dummies placed in open areas away from geometry:
TargetDummy at (0,-25), KillableDummy at (25,0),
WalkingDummy patrols z=-30 from x=-20 to 20
- Central platform simplified: 16x16 base (2u) + 8x8 upper (4u)
- 4 cardinal ramps properly connect ground to platform edge
- Cover walls placed in open lanes, not blocking movement
- Barrels placed along outer walls, not in pathways
- Fix tab character in _build_elevated_walkways() call (line 63)
- Fix untyped 'pos' variable in grapple pillar loop (line 376)
- Remove fog_sky_affinity (Godot 4.3+ only property)
- Replace preload() with load() for runtime script loading
- Replace 'is DoubleBarrelShotgun' type check with duck-typing
- Fix 'is not OfflineMultiplayerPeer' syntax in grenade spawn
- Replace absf() with abs() in state_machine, state_air, state_ground
- Update test_level.tscn to remove stale UID reference
All fixes verified: PARSE OK and scene runs without script errors
on Godot 4.2.1 headless.
96x96 arena with multi-level layout, grapple points, wall-run/climb
surfaces, 6 team spawns with anti-camping cover, and varied movement
challenges.
Map Features:
- Central multi-level structure: 20x20 platform (3u), 10x10 tower (6u),
14x14 top platform (9u) with crown cover walls and internal stairs
- 4 corner towers (5u high) with railings and top platforms
- 4 elevated mid-side walkways (3u) with railings connecting center to edges
- 8 ramps: cardinal to central, diagonal to corners, to walkways
- Quarter-pipe curve (8 segments) near NE corner
- 4 parkour stepping stone chains (NW, NE, SW, SE quadrants)
- Wall-run corridor (N side) with parallel walls, obstacles, and floor gap
- Wall-run surfaces on all 4 outer wall sections
- Wall-climb surfaces around central tower and mid-map (warm color)
- 4 grapple anchor pillars (15u tall) with visible tops at cardinal points
- Cover system: low walls, crate clusters, corridor walls, structural pillars
- Speed corridor with side rails, speed bumps, and floor markings
- 6 spawn alcoves (3 red: NW/SW/West, 3 blue: NE/SE/East) with cover walls
- Anti-spawn-camping: each alcove has 2+ exits and blocking walls
- Floor accent tiles in central area
- Atmospheric sky with procedural sky material and fog
- Directional sun + fill light + center omni + 6 spawn accent lights
- Decorative: barrels, hazard stripes, accent beams, spawn area lights
- Full multiplayer spawning, weapon system, HUD, entities preserved
- All movement states: ground, air, wall_run, wall_climb, wall_cling,
slide, dash, grapple
Parse verified clean with Godot 4.2.1 headless.
