Wow, that sounds really great! The flood appearing sounds pretty nice. I have this idea of a cutscene where the player looks for his evac. The Pelican flies towards the structure. Then a rocket/missile from behind fires straight at the Pelican, wasting it. The player looks around and BOOM! Flood's there. Then more flood come out.

But I sort of understand that cutscenes are kind of hard to make.

How's stuff going with your animator? If required, I'll help create a separate thread asking for one :D

See you on teh forums!

We really do need an animator. I wouldn't mind if you created another thread asking for one. However I think all of the current ones are busy.

So, about no progress has been made at all since about January, because we have been stuck here without animations.

I do what I wish to do and if I quit, I quit. If I was getting paid that would be entirely different. And if anyone wishes to take up the task of animating this then they can, but I will not.

Man, why does this conversation sound familiar?

Useless, you may think I am. But that is for you to judge. This is a FREE service. I do not have to do anything what so ever.

Nobody's forcing Pepzee to do anything, and he's helped the community so much...

Stop fighting, please, I really don't want this to be locked.

So... Create new thread for Animator or not? Any preferred people you want me to approach?

There. I've posted my request for animator's thread. If there are any errors, please feel free to contact me.

Cya!

You could always use recorded animations, tweaking the original start location to fit what you need.

Is there any way to do this without a modeling program? You make it sound simple, but I'm sure it's far from. For I have no clue where to even begin.

Import recorded animations in Sapien and place a vehicle. Use the sapien console to play the recorded animation. Adjust the vehicle's starting position until the animation plays out correctly.
