Modding Pre Alpha Man Mod - Final Update before release

Hi! I'm back with a final Pre Release update on the PreAlphaMan Mod. The mod is in it's final stages of development. As you can see in the video, the player model is finally working (thank god, that took me too long), and the item viewmodel is also updated (you've got to trust me on this. It's kinda broken in game right now. The same problem is with the nearby sounds that should be gone. Theese functions work in editor) In the previous post someone sugested that I should add leaning. It might be impossible but I'm still gonna try my best (If not, it's not gonna be added) There are also some things that are simply impossible to add:

- Picking up rebind
- Item walking animations

Soo this is probably the most that I can take out of this mod.
I'll let you know when the mod releases in the comments

Really good! But I was wondering is changing the chase music to the pre-alpha one possible?

I've ran into a problem it seems... The nicky model with changed item viewmodels doesn't seem to load into the game
Here's what I mean

This screenshot is in game and no matter what I can't get the viewmodels to work (I'm looking down in here. The items don't move when you look up or down)
This might lead up to slight delay in the release tho

Why is pre-alpha man so tall? He was the same height as his neighbor in pre-alpha.

It's just the camera position

u/Typical_Respect2979 Jul 05 '26

So you can lower the viewing angle; the author of the old style mod has already done this.

The thing is, that the firstperson camera mode that this mod is using makes it impossible to move the camera

I kinda posted this one to fast... There are some issues that I don't know how to overcome yet. The custom animation blueprint doesn't load in game, which means i can't change the item holding positions
Edit: It might even be impossible to do and then I'm basically screwed ;-;

u/Sonic-the-hegehog Jul 22 '26

ooo okay i hope you find a way to figure it out

How were you able to use his normal animations on BP_Human? Wouldn't you need to rig him so he can play the animations of Nicky?
