@Parax: Does Fredrik come with his original rig or is it void of bones like DKCR models?

DKCR's not void of bones, they just aren't stored in the model file. It has bones in CINF files, skinning information in CSKR files, and requires reading the CHAR files to associate all the different files with each other. DKCTF hasn't changed much in that regard; skeletons are still separate from the models (in SKEL files now) and requires parsing CHAR files to associate them with the model. The only difference is CSKR is missing, so I'm not sure where skinning information is now. Best guess is it's probably integrated directly into the model format now as a vertex attribute.

So no, I don't have anything set up to read the rigs, since I don't know the Tropical Freeze CHAR or SKEL formats. I'm probably not going to take a look at them anytime soon, either. If anyone else wants to, I have most of the pak format documented here and most of what I know of the model format documented here. (If anyone does look at it, would be very appreciative if you add whatever you come up with to the wiki!)
