Hello Everyone!
I have decided to jump head-first into creating new options for characters within RPG-X. I decided as an easy introduction working on adding Orions based on the current human (or human-like) characters currently available. I did a test with basic EF (not RPG-X) in order to see if this was doable, and I have shown Serris my first results on this. This test makes me confident enough to move onward into RPG-X.
This forum thread will be updated as I make progress. Just wanted to let everyone know as this is my first Elite Force modding project since probably 2009/2010, and this would benefit anyone in RPG-X once finished.

This is great to see, Arron!
Just as an update, I have not touched this particular project in a bit because there are SRPs currently requesting player model skins. I can share some of what I have done though that is not on here:

After spending enough time working on this project, and the projects for the crew skins, I believe I will first create a tool before starting back work. Currently it is a cumbersome process to go through the various model and skin files to coordinate each new addition. Klaw had an idea, which I feel required to create, to select a model and to select the characters you want to automatically create the required files for. The plan I have is to also create a TODO list that is generated for detecting which art assets are still needed for each set created. I will create a new thread for the tool once I have more on this.
