Shield have new animation since 1.39.

Lol, I made a thread about this already: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,220325.0.html
Yet you seem to be more succesful in drawing attention. I seem to have a knack for making unpopular topics.
Anyway, I've edited my Actions.txt of Brytenwalda to use the default Native shield animations for now.
As I said previously. I think that the Native onehanded sword stab animation has the shields' position just about right for defending. It could be used when the position for holding the sword is edited imho.
Edit: this is what I'm talking about.
You can see the shield is being held at a decent position, while the arm is still bend. Maybe the shield could be angled a bit more vertical, and the sword should not be held as if the character is about to attack. That's what I had in mind for a good shield animation.
I don't know if there is a animator in your team, Idibil. But maybe Lazarou could work on a proper shield animation as an OSP if he wishes.

I'd love to see shields held the way the style of shields we have in game would ACTUALLY be held: by the center grip and extended out in front like a buckler (look at the shields and pretty much all of them have the center grip on the boss, some models don't even have straps).

You are right that something should be done about the native stance, and what there is now, is not right. I often have a hard time even seeing if the enemy is blocking or not. So for now I'd like to have the native stance back, but it would be cool with a more authentic shieldstance in the future(?)Ambaryerno said:
Thanks , Suriell . The shield stance was indeed looking wierd , and after modifying those lines , it's back normal again.
If that shield change was made for the people playing in first-person mode , then I guess there is no need to change it in an update . But if so , someone must make it a sticky or something .
Cheers.

Thanks Suriell, I forget add.
Hey Idibil, what do you think of my suggestion for the alternative explained in my previous post?
About Lazaru animation? You have one for shield and spear in mod yet (1.34 version), but we disabled it because players dont want it.
By the way, do you have an animator in your team? Or maybe it would of interest in searching one for future plans.MrExpendable said:Lol, I made a thread about this already: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,220325.0.html

No, no animator actually.
We can do changes in animations over code, but we can not create new animations
Native onehanded swords animation is a animation for that hit and sword, dont apply to others.

Yes, that's true. But I mean that the stabbing animation makes the shield being held perfectly (imho). Maybe the animation code could be simply copied, edited to adjust how the sword is being held, and pasted on the current shield defend animations. It should be fairly simple. Then, when you hit the Right Mouse Button, you go into the modified animation.Idibil said:No, no animator actually.

I hope that I made myself clear with this. English isn't my native language. So if anyone understands what I mean, please help me out to clarify.

Well i'm not either native English speaker, but understood you completely MrExpendale. I think your idea is very good, and that stabbing animation has always looked great in my opinion. If it could be made standard shield defence animation so great.
Even though i have not anything against the new shield animation, it is very hard to use when you are on higher ground than your enemy. I mean when you look your enemy down shield in defence stance, your player just puts the shield in side and not holding it in front as it should be.

I have that look, but I think that animation you said isnt possible be use for that goal.
