Newbie question about Unreal Engine games...

magnatron

I own all 3 Unreal Tournament games, and 2 games that were made with the Unreal Engine (Rune, and Postal 2). And i've noticed that I can switch maps between all of the games without having much trouble, for example: playing a Rune map in Unreal Tournament, or playing an Unreal Tournament map in Postal 2. But what I really want to do is play some of my favorite character models in all 5 of the games, and I was wondering if there was any way to say, for example, use the Unreal Tournament "Bender" skin in Rune or Postal 2, or am I out of luck? I tried transporting the "Keekeelee" Unreal Tournament skin into Rune but it didn't work. So basically i'm wondering if this is possible at all, or am I stuck using skins for the games they were originally made for. Thanks for the help.

FYI: This isnt the forum area for this type of stuff.

this area would be your best bet.

Otherwise, I think what your asking is impossible. Try one of the forums in http://www.beyondunreal.com/

Well, that'll go really well, I mean surely the engine will know that the animations of the character don't match your game and will simply reanimate them to have Bender swing an axe...

Companies that license the engine may have altered some areas such as animation, so the same specs don't apply. Also, there are different weapons and attack animations and many other game specific actions to consider. Postal can't just let you have the Flak Cannon. Check the forums of that specific game for the type of system it uses. And don't forget, KDR is a tool.

If I'm a tool, what am I useful for?

Penis enhancement? ;P

I believe the only way you could get the model to work is to import it into your modeling program and probably have to rename some items. I haven't tried this though, so there may be more to it. The scales may be off also.

Ok... I guess a better question would be, does postal 2 use the original unreal engine, or the second unreal engine which was used for UT2003, and UT2004.

If that isn't proof of not being a tool, I don't know what is
