So it seems BF2 anims DO work, so long as they conform to the BF1 skeletons. Cool :o

EDIT: How exactly can you get these into the main game?

Actually i havent tried custom skeletons, we coudl probably bring a bf2 custom skeleton in (but it has to have same bones as a normal trooper) you take the bf2 animations files, rename them then munge into zaabin and make a custom common.lvl il make a bf2 conversion mod

To ginev, I cant make combos, but we can try making different animations for a secondary lightsaber animation, and i will possibly make a wampa common if it is needed (the animations)

that doesn't work in BF1 for the following reason

the second model has to be attached to the left hand of the unit in question with the addongeometry command added into the odf. th eonly addons in BF1 are animated capes used by some hero units

trying this addongeometry trick with something that's not a cape, will cause a crash in the game.

I don't mod SWBF1 so I don't know what works there or not, but if your geometry addon has no animation or is static then you won't need this line(using Vader's cape addon as example):

Code: Select all

AnimationAddon = "imp_inf_vader_cape"
If there is no animation attached to that particular mesh then you shouldn't be calling for one in that property sub-section, you should comment or remove that line since calling for an animation that doesn't exist will likely cause a crash.

In SWBF2 we use only these lines with static geometry addons(example):

Code: Select all

AnimatedAddon = "HAT"
GeometryAddon = "my_hat"
AddonAttachJoint = "bone_head"
I don't see why this wouldn't work in SWBF1 since both games support these same properties.

Not sure, but it requires an animation setting for some reason. Has anybody zeroed out the AnimationAddon line (so it reads AnimationAddon = "")

Also, jdee/barc - addons may not work as such but you can easily hex-edit on an addon to the model and it WILL work.
