Custom Fp animations.

oh jesus christ i almost cried when i saw the second response to this.
it took me a little while to figure out, but in the .model animation tag for the CYBORG. look at the settings for rifled weapons. see how it is set to attach the left hand on the cyborg to the left hand marker on the gun? type in those marker names in the elite animation tag as well. thats how you fix it. it requires no reanimation

I was under the impression you needed Custom fp anims, my bad. Looks like you learn something new everyday.

lol sorry i didnt mean to insult. it just like, hes asking how to make elites hold weapons with 2 hands and you suggested fp anims. kinda a wtf moment there

I just written my script for lowering the weapon and walk, then i see this topic, and i was like, OMG I R DREAMING, jeez this night solved all my machinima problems i'm having for the past few MONTHS, thanks alot! =P (I havn't tried the hands yet, I will do so now and post epic screenies if so xD )

EDIT: ok, i tried it, and it seemed ok when i adjusted it in guerilla, but alot of things are different ofcourse and i can't seem to get it working ingame, mind posting your .model_animation here Donut?
When i compiled a map, and checked, the hands were indeed on the good place, BUT the elite couldn't move! =O like he was standing right up so i must have done something wrong, please, anyone else who also have done it and got a working anim tag, please post =3]

@Donut: I dont know much about fp animating, prob shouldn't have posted a blind guess anyway.

@Topic: Beach Party wanted me to post, so he can post, so, bump.

Will this work for CMT's v1 Brutes?

what wouldn't work? my anim file is messed up, he did it correctly, thus it works, i dont see why it wouldn't work

you quoted me, for a reason i would guess

Yes maybe you can't do it either, like me, adjusting the anim file, reason that i want donut to post it here, it's plausible that he got it working, i don't think it's a lame joke anyways

THANKS DONUT!

Can you get on xfire and help me with this ASAP?

lolwut, you got backpack instead? that's good too ya know, we still need that elite backpack

I have 3, want one? In return, sum of the backpacks progress pls? I'm dieing to use it! =P
EDIT: yes i actually mean that messed up anim! LOL
Edited by BeachParty clan on Jan 25, 2009 at 12:28 PM

I mean your messed up anim tag, i don't really want it backpack, that just looks like it and i'm fine with that
PS i already zipped the shaders and bitmaps of the carbine *wink* (though i hope that this one will work, 2 of them don't work, weird placement, this one did work)

ahh standard, then i'll try downloading it from the site, well i'll pm it and hope the texture works for you

ok, if anyone is saying it doesnt work, you arnt doing it correctly. let me get some screenshots.
i wont post the model aims for the elite because the only anim tag that i have set up to do this was updated with ICEE's elite rifle anims that didnt end up working. so basically, that anim tag = instant crash.
however, i can take a picture of the working section of that tag.

can you name the marker names? cus some of the have names like "...hand chief" "...hand elite" so wich named to use on the rifle?

me? i want to use it for machinima purposes, epic movies now i got halo 3 weapon lowering in hce

How did you get the weapon to move to the back :| What ICEE said works just fine.

ok here are the pics
right click on these and click "view image" to see them in full size



FOR VEHICLES

that tutorial is using ALL DEFAULT elite stuff. make a copy of your elite anims incase you screw up, then just edit the default ones for this.
if you rename the tag, make sure to redirect the elite.biped tag to your new anims

Thnx Donut. Will this affect how the Elite holds the Plasma Rifle though? It looks retarded if he's just holding it like a carbine. -_-

nope, thats why you added the rifle weapon class. you keep the weapon lables of one handed weapons under the "pistol" class and put 2 handed weapons under the rifle class
edit: OH, but because you clicked "duplicate" on the pistol class, make sure you remove the pistol weapons from the weapon lables under the rifle class
pp, pr, ne
and if you want, you can go under pistol and add "hp" to it

same for me, this is epic, if it works i'll post screenz

if you do it right, it will work. try it with duel weapons :D

almost done, but with the vehicle part, doesn't it have to be left/right hand elite? your screenshot shows left/right hand at the vehicle part, just mentioning =P

This is what it looks like from the Elite MP tags (newer version with other custom anims that you don't haz):

So yes, proof that they work on my tags.



And normal:



Rawr.

^ tad dark, but i can see what it is though





Donut, Epic win, it's as epic as the spartan laser you worked on


lol when i was testing I noted your name on the Splazer

It says:

Spartan04
DEEhunter
Donut

That's all I know, oh and that it pwns, that too



err... isn't that just HDoan's rigged bipeds?

No. http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3739

It's my DLL plugin, nope, I won't =3 except when I'm seriously testing stuff and it might be unstable

But DZ, that's just HDoans biped, available here:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3829



Same sniper and biped, same resulting screenshot, just saying, if not, then what DID you improve?

*Facepalm*

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3739

LOOK BEFORE YOU POST. And Please stop posting so many pictures. My internet is lagging.

You posted at the same moment as me, I did look =/

But still, what is improved? mine could do the exact same things, nothing new in that =/
Edited by BeachParty clan on Jan 25, 2009 at 02:33 PM

Actually, I was one minute before. That's 60 seconds. That's 60,000 milliseconds. That's 60,000,000,000 nanoseconds. That's....

or you just posted at the 59th second >.<
wtf are we arguing about, the point is, i don't see anything new in zealots biped, it's the exact same that HDoan released

Maybe the fact that you can't use it?

dude, i made those screenshots, why couldn't i use it? =S
