I assume its just like any other model you import into the game.. set the location of it 0,0,0 and export .fbx.. convert it to edf.. might need to make a sub folder called protection no idea though.. I will look into it tonight for you

Good job mate!.. No, I don't think you can get hold of the rider model unfortunately. Hopefully PiBoSo will prove me wrong :)

The solution will be try and error remodeling it.

Getting the model to fit will work without to much trial and error I think, but getting the skinning data (what vertices are attached to what "bone" and at what strength for animation) right would be un-doable I think?

Didn't even think of that before. Wasn't a problem when I imported my UFO though. It was just trial and error to get it to fit the rider model somewhat. Nothing done with bones or anything like that.

You can find my UFO somewhere here on the forums as well.

Could a new rider model be created or would that be a serious undertaking?

I think there is a possibility.

I doubt that animations are canned like that link suggests. It wouldn't work (well) in a game like this and besides, it's a really old-school way of doing things. Then again, according to the download page this game uses OpenGL 1.2.1 (1998) or DirectX 8.1 (2001)? (Time for an upgrade! OpenGL 3+ or Vulkan maybe?).

So..., I just opened one of the animation files for the rider and look at what I found:

Looks like bone names (one of them is called "riderRIG_armour" by the way). So it seems like the animation files just tell the bones how to move. Would be nice if Pib could share his riders source file for 3D Max or Blender.

Interesting Rutjes, nice work.

Be cool to hear what Piboso has to say
