B Other Combat Animation Enhancement - Fifth Release with Trailer 15/11/10

[Papa Lazarou]

is the one handed sword animations out?

Yes - the latest release includes new animations for all melee weapons.

 

[Nordmann]

Just downloaded, fantastic work mate, a thousand times better than the default animations.

Really hope you continue with this, as it is definitely needed.

 

[Myewggs_the_Conqueror]

wow! fantastic animations man, makes the gameplay a thousand times better than it is (and it's already amazing...)  , good work! 

 

[faradon]

Excellent animations.
We'll surely make good use of them.... :3

 

[Temuzu]

Whatever it is you and your mates are doing...

Doo eeet!

 

[joshjam]

awesome 

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Finally have my real computer back, and hopefully will be fixing up some of the animations (particularly two-handed sword cuts from the sides) in the next little while.

 

[Blobmania]

Any chance of that working skeleton you mentioned in your PM? I tried redoing it several times again after I mailed you, still no result =/

Cheers either way

[Papa Lazarou]

Yep, I'll try to get one today. Sorry for the delay!

 

[Abelardo]

Those look ridiculously better then the stock animations, I hope my favorite mods start using this soon.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

You can plug them in to any mod - instructions in the first post.

Edit: To all interested, I've now uploaded a basic scene with a properly-deforming mesh for anyone trying to animate for M&B in XSI Mod Tool. Here it is - http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=2661

Do you think it works well with PoP?

I'm kinda reluctant to replace the actions.txt, don't know if the one in the mod is modified in any way.

 

[Blobmania]

I adden one or two of these enhancements in manually. You just need to edit the animations into the Module_animations file... I think he just added the .txt to make adding them easier for first-time modders and suchlike.

And cheers for the mesh =D

Papa, do you think you would consider doing a sling animation for the thrown stone? Where they wind up their arm instead of just 'throw' the stone. Naturally without a proper weapon model it wouldn't work, but would you be interested in that if I could convince a modeler to do a sling model?

 

[Blobmania]

I will, if you'll make the animation. My animation skills aren't quite there yet, but I reckon it shouldn't be too hard to model or texture.

My suggestion (apologies if it's not needed) would be a simple over-the-right-shoulder action for the throw start, and then include the spin as part of the second animation sequence in the attack, to avoid issues with preparing to throw for a long period of time?

I love talking my way into others' projects ;D

Anyhow, i'd do what I can to help model + texture-wise if you're up for the animation

 

[reaver456]

I gotta say just love these animations. Using them with prophecy of pendor 3.3 with no problems

 

[Baltijec]

Twohanded throwing  with a big stone from castle wall… may be?

 

[Bismarck]

Great animations.
By the way, the Pre-Battle Order and Deployment Kit could use a spear bracing animation...

 

[Cromcrom]

Thank you very much for this work, I will add these animations to Rigale.

Take care 

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Not sure about the slinging animation - I've been very bad at animating anything lately (no motivation for it), and I want to reanimate a few things in CAE before I leave it.

I'd consider this if there was demand for it (from other mods).
