Heedicalking made an armor item in 2009 that was as simple as body armor can get. It also apparently came with the pre-exported model for others to view how it works. It can be still found
Here. Sadly the link is and has been broken for a while and I am clueless as to how the joint placement of body armor works.
I have the model of the default player but I need help understanding how the joints work. (Whereas if the mountPoint is in the direct center or whatever, I just need a base to go off of) If someone can help me or can provide a link to heedicalking's body armor, that would be great also. I use Milkshape 3D 1.8.2 so Blender users don't get confused.
I would appreciate it even more if someone provided me with a .ms3d of simple body armor and how the joints work.
