Need some help with PED modding

[RokkuDayo]

so i wanted to convert a ped to gta v and i did all the armature in my model just like the one i extracted from gta v and everything seemed fine, but now the model is all screwed in game and the only thing that seems to be in the right place is the hair.

 

here is a screenshot of 3dsmax:

 

open iv screenshot: 

 

and here is the in-game... something i dont know:

 

if someone has a clue of why this is happening i would apreciate the help, thanks!

 

edit: here is my bone hierarchy if it helps in anything https://pastebin.com/dqwFiAcq

As a test, what if you move the bones in 3DS Max? I.e. select a bone or two and rotate it - it shouldn't spaz out if the mesh is weighted properly to the armature.

Everything is moving just fine, here is a quick video showing me moving the bones: https://youtu.be/aqzPORZ8e4w

i decided to do everything from scratch again, everything is fine in 3dsmax and i can export with gims evo but when i try to use the model ingame it crashes.

 

i tried to export the compiled model to .odd to see what was wrong but i get this error:  Skinning data is present in vertex buffer, but bone mapping does not exist.

Hmm, mind if you tell me where you originally got the model from? What I basically do whenever a model spazzes out ingame but not in Max is to export it as an Unreal Engine PSK and reimport it again using something like Gildor's PSK import script. In most cases that fixed any model or material anomalies I have with exporting.

I got it from a Source Filmmaker addon which i used Blender Source Tools to extract the model, but now i cant even use the model it just crashes my game with no error or anything.

 

I have the same bone count in this model as the one from GTA V that i've imported as a reference and even the same ID's, but still the game crashes.

 

The armature even shows up in Codewalker: 

 

and the only thing that the log tells me is this generic "cant read file" thing:

ok another update, i set everything to use the same material and it didnt crashed but now the same issue from before still exists: 

weirdly enough, some things like the eyes and the mouth are infact working like they should but something with the hierarchy must be wrong 

 

Here is another video showing up the facial features working: 

 

actually it seems that only the head model has a working bone system

I've had a lot of trouble exporting objects from Source Engine games based on my experience, so what I can suggest for now is to convert the model first to an Unreal PSK as I said earlier. Once that's done, import it again using the tools I mentioned, export it to .OBJ then re-import and rig it again to the GTA V armature.

well, i managed to make everything "work" but the armature seems rotated in 90 degrees or something like that, shouldn't be hard to fix but i gotta figure out how.

at least my textures are working, but i gotta edit the ymt to add the other cosmetics.

That shouldn't be considered a glitch, it's supposed to be symbolism. It represents your character's struggle as she tries to understand herself.

 

Kidding aside, looks like it's going good then.

i managed to make it work properly but it seems that the original skeleton is being used or something, i even tried to export a custom armature with zmodeler 3 but it has no impact.

almost everything is working rn but i think there's something wrong with the ik bones that make my character's pelvis be lower that it should 

the hands also seem to be out of place

What if you have her hold a weapon or an item such as a cellphone? Are the items held correctly especially in first-person?
