For the animations, try just using a base animation, with a percentage blend of the next animation over it for 20 frames or so. This was the first thing I hit with animation, and it worked pretty quickly. Doesn't matter too much if your walk anim isn't great
well actually.. i'm donw with the animation codes for now... currently the character blends between jumping,strafing,walking diagonally, running .. well, theres alot... but i'm only fosucsing on gameplay, that way when i do get the final model, everything will be ready
