TestMod:
To make it simpler for ResourcePack makers, Modellers and Animators a like, the LDTTeam provides a small testmod as additional Jar to releases of Animatrix. Drop it in your mods folder, create a normal Vanilla ResourcePack, see here for a tutorial, with domain: "animatrix_test". Once ingame load the ResourcePack, and run the command: /at_test <modelpath> <texturepath> to spawn a entity with a given model and texture. If you want to run a animation; execute the command /at_test <modelpath> <texturepath> <animationpath>. For all paths: They have to be in ResourceLocation format: domain:path, eg: animatrix_test:models/entities/biped.dae
