Okay! Animated meshes and animations now load in the game editor and client Hooray!
Unfortunately, there's still something wrong with the animations...they don't quite look right. It's difficult to describe what's going on, but suffice it to say I have to muck with them a bit more before they'll be finished. But progress continues!
Glad to hear it man. Looks like this thing is really progressing. Just make sure your boss doesn't find out that you're taking off work to code a game.
