Do your research. The user you are referring to is no longer here. This fact should offer some alternate thoughts on the subject.

kind of hard to research it when there's no evidence of a ban

I misspoke, what I should have said is: "The users posts that you are referring to are no longer here"

ah. arite then.

These are great in game, really gets people's shields down faster, (funny when two surprise shots shoot out of one gun )

the only thing they need is a dual wield 3p with two plasma pistols

great upload by SLAPPY THE PIRATE.

As the aux creator of these tags, I should want some credit, but whatever, you don't have to.

thanks slappy!

how well does it animate?

also feel free to go ahead and reupload them if they're finished. I'd say put a 2.0 in front of them, maintain the original readme from the first and add an update log

readme can be found here

Sure, that would make my.. er... like, 3rd upload on halomaps, lol.
Oh, yeah, should I make legit animations to go with the dial wield? It would take some time. Thanks for the idea.

if it's possible. you'd probably be able to get away with just tweaking the already existing ones, I don't know nothing about 3rd person animations.

it'd be somewhat limited, given the fact that the weapon is a single model and can't be animated as far as I know

Well, I don't even know 3p animations that well, but they should basically work the same way. It's to get rid of the weird elbow-- tweaking the model can only get it so much better.

Since that other arm wasn't intended for this use, the elbow can be accepted the way it is

MC has a natural right paw stand, so any duals will have that effect on the model,

Going thru all the work just for one elbow to shift straight myt not be worth the extra mile
in editing the model plus rigging.

No, it would be worth it. There are about 500 weapons custom made, 80% of them have custom fp anims. There would be a world of variety opened up, such as, having a pistol in one hand, and a billy club in the other, fire the pistol and melee with the club. When every weapon animation is limited to pistol or rifle stances/movements - other weapons, including the energy sword (which has some custom anims) are limited to the stance of these 2 weapon types and their poses.

I would like to see dual wielding .44 magnums, John Wayne style (from the hip, arms down, forearms at 90 degrees). I'd LOVE it if we could do John Woo style - running straight at your opponent using 2 guns - diving/rolling forward.

Or how about holding the oddball in the left hand, and using a pistol to defend yourself (right hand)?

Or gansta style, switch blade in the left, glock in the right (tilted sideways)?

Or, Like Teh Lag's Dual Wielding Elites with 2 energy swords for an assination?

Or, Iron Man - shooting plasma blasts from his palms (my true desire revealed)?

Or, tuck n run, foot ball in the left hand tucked up and tight, right arm out mostly straight to block?

Flag in one hand, rocket launcher in the other? (ho in one hand, money in the other?)

Yeah - many many many uses for a multiple variation of dual wielding / independent arm/hand movements in third person. I will donate the first $50 to an animators paypal to induce some action. And yeah, lets not be all grabby/and ego invested - open release, no protection = we are all elevated to higher quality.

I would give it a shot for the $50, but I don't know if you're serious :]
Anyway, I don't think I could do it right. At least not now. I'm a bsp modeler and a scripter. I can do just about anything else, but probably not as well as others can... animating included.

Yes, I am serious, at least about dual wielding .44 magnums, John Wayne style (from the hip, arms down, forearms at 90 degrees). Need anims for stand/crouch units, meaning:

stand dual idle
stand dual turn left
stand dual turn right
stand dual move front (left-right arms with slight forward-back walking movement)
stand dual move back
stand dual throw grenade
stand dual aim still
stand dual aim move
stand dual melee (left handed backhand pistol whip)

crouch dual idle
crouch dual turn left
crouch dual turn right
crouch dual move front (left-right arms with slight forward-back walking movement)
crouch dual move back
crouch dual aim still
crouch dual aim move
crouch dual melee (uppercut to the cajones)

standing melee: could this be a standing abdomen kick? haven't seen a kick/melee yet.



and yeah - I am serious about the $50 too, doesn't need to be uber-perfect but it would be worth it to get something other than pistol/rifle/missile poses - we need something fresh to get this community using the 1,000,000 weapons we have in a different way.
