Animations for vehicles and the character interacting with vehicles will happen. We have, I think, around 13-14 base vehicles in game which will need animations doing for all of them and some tweaks to the anim code for them to work. I'm not really sure when these will get done.

Ah, I don't think there is a difference between the female body files. Over time we've accumulated some duplication of files as folders have been moved and we've experimented with things. We should probably do a clear out soon.
 
Female body.x is what you should be using.

We'd like to add anims that reflect a persons background and this is a perfect example.
 
You could perhaps argue the current stance is also too "specialist" insofar as your character looks like they know what they're doing, a less proficient person would perhaps be more square on but for now we'll go with what we've got. 
 
The problem we have, and is an age old problem, is by changing the posing of the character, it has a knock on affect to other anims and result in having lots of animations, which takes time to do and implement. 
 
 

Opening and closing of car doors is coming but it opens up a few technical problems that need to be overcome.
 
It probably won't be this update as the coders focus is on getting MP done and dusted but I'm hoping I can get their time once that's out the door (pun intended! 😉 )

Currently we are trying to refine the melee system and this is one area we are looking at.
 
However due to the way we have it setup currently, lower body movement of the attacks interfere with the aiming animation so has been separated out into upper and lower body. Obviously this removes any animation from the waist down in the attack anims. It's something i'd like to reintroduce but it's proving problematic with blends and our current setup.

Trailers come with technical challenges within the engine and trucks also introduce balance challenges that we're not currently in the position to tackle atm.
 
Larger vehicles are something we'd like to include at some point but there's other priority stuff to do.

Outfits are what the zombies are spawned in but all the clothing items can be worn by male or female characters; the division in outfits is really only because of specific items (like dresses) or an outfit, that are traditionally worn by one of the sexes.
 
Off the top of my head i can't think of any exception but if there is it's very specific.

Currently the reload anims are just one anim, just as a placeholder until one of the coders rejigs the code to work with hardcore reloading. 
 
It shouldn't big job but was down the priority list but it's rapidly rising up the list as we strike off the more important jobs.
 
Also everything should be considered WIP unless we specifically say otherwise or you're playing it in game.

Chill guys, it's already done.
 
Although probably won't make it into the first round of clothes.

It might not be straight away, there's a lot to get working properly, but that's the plan. The cars have been modelled with this intention.
