🐺 Laying Groundwork for Automatic Server Model Streaming & Custom Beast Transformations

THIS IS GROUNDWORK, NOT FINALIZED AND MAY CHANGE IN FUTURE UPDATES

Automatic 3D Model Streaming:

• When joining a multiplayer server, custom 3D creature models, skins, and animations created on the server are automatically packaged and sent to your game.

  • Instant Download & Safe Memory Loading:

• Your game automatically receives and loads the server's resource pack in memory without freezing your screen or kicking you from the server.

• Smart checksums ensure you only download the pack once; if the server hasn't changed its models, your game reuses the saved copy instantly.

  • Fast 3D Model Registration:

• Custom creature models and animations load directly into the 3D model system.

• Missing textures and broken models are prevented with safe fallbacks to player skins, which should eliminate purple-and-black checkerboards.

FOLLOWING HAS HAD LIMITTED TESTING WITH CUSTOM MODELS:

• Were-Form Transformations & 6 Body Part Attachments:
  • Custom Beast Transformations: Transforming into a were-race cleanly swaps your player model to the custom 3D creature model.
  • Never-Invisible Safety Net: If a custom model is missing or broken, your character remains completely visible with procedural wolf ears, a snout, and glowing red eyes so you are never left invisible.
  • 6 Custom Body Attachments: Custom races can now have animated ears, horns, floating halos, flapping wings, swaying tails, and extra legs (such as spiders or centaurs).
  • Clean First-Person View: When playing in first person, head and body attachments are smoothly hidden so they never block your eyes or screen.
  • Accurate Movement & Transforms: All body attachments move, rotate, and scale smoothly with your character without glitches.
