How to apply the primary/secondary colors to the meshes?
I've replaced the pioneer's mesh (and hid the original) to be able to play custom animations, and I'm also attaching custom equipment meshes to it. Equipment uses MM_FactoryBaked like the vanilla.
But the painted colors are black. How to get the colors you set in the lockers? How to apply them to the custom equipment and the pioneer's mesh?

First-person model has the wrong colors · Issue #35 · chriscavalluz...
The model has black textures when looking at the feet for example. It's supposed to respect the colors you set in the character customization.

Did you add custom data floats to the meshes? First thing I'd try.
Hooking all the
UPrimitiveComponent::SetCustomPrimitiveData* for the player model. Equipment may be hooked to the BuildGun, but using the PlayerCustomizationDataChanged event it easier (although the mappings have to be hardcoded).They are hardcoded in the base game as well
When it's hardcoded in two places, it breaks when a change happens in one.
Anyways, I now somehow have problems with a more basic thing: the static item mesh doesn't get the colors. I'm using the same materials and textures, the model is set up the same way as the xenozapper...
yeah, but you do not have an option to not hardcode the mappings
I've mentioned an option: hooking it to the buildgun.
But I don't have a problem with that part. Now the static meshes don't get color for some reason.
Where are they supposed to get the colour from?
I'm setting the "M Conveyor Mesh" in the item descriptor. I think that the mesh of a dropped item should get the default colors.
Sorry, I don't follow
what does the jetpack item look like dropped on the ground? does it follow the viewing player's colors, always look orange, or always look black? that is a vanilla item that I believe follows the player's colors when equipped
Or the Xeno-Zapper, or the Xeno-Basher
I am pretty sure hand equipment uses player colours
It does
Dropped things just use the defaults
Which honestly could be easily improved
