Lol its all part of Rancor's crazy maps. I have no idea how he doesit, but he always changes character sizes and stuff. Anyway Looks awesome rancor! I played Number II and liked the mode with the random bio-thingys, but found the other one filled with glitches. Look forward to playing this one though!

Will the adventure mode be even longer and more epic than the last?

I'm focusing more on combat aspects this time around, but there will be some in-depth exploration of the Doom star.

I'm proud to unveil some screens and actual footage of 3 Bio Experiments for the planets surface!

I've got just 2 issues to sort out with the beast and I'll need your guys help. So far the rancor moves (in 1 direction, have to up the turning speed and movement) and attacks with his attack just fine, the problem is I do not know which bone will be best to use in the weapon, to deal damage, and I do not know if I've got him set up right for dealing damage. I'll post the code here, and hope Teancum or someone knows how to set it up better.

Weapon odf
Hidden/Spoiler:
[WeaponClass]

ClassLabel = "melee"
ClassParent = "com_weap_inf_lightsaber"

[Properties]

GeometryName = ""
ComboAnimationBank = "human_sabre melee zom_inf_rancor"

FirePointName = "hp_hotspot bone_jaw"
LightSaberLength = "0.4"
LightSaberWidth = "0.75"
//LightSaberTrailColor = "255 255 255 100"
//LightSaberTexture = "gam_guard" // invalid texture to get trail to show up
//LightSaberGlowTexture = "gam_guard"

MinRange = "0"
OptimalRange = "7.5"
MaxRange = "9"

HitSound = "rancor_belch"

OnSound = "overrideparentsound"
TurnOnSound = "overrideparentsound"
TurnOffSound = "overrideparentsound"
Combo
Hidden/Spoiler:
OffhandAnimation("stand_useforce", "FIRE")
{
Loop("FinalFrame");
AimType("Torso");
BlendInTime(0.15);
BlendOutTime(0.15);
}
OffhandAnimation("stand_useforce", "FIRE2");
OffhandAnimation("stand_useforce", "CHARGE");

Animation("stand_attack1a_upper")
{
AimType("None");
BlendInTime(0.0);
BlendOutTime(0.3);
BlendTimeTo("stand_attack1a_end", 0.0);
BlendTimeTo("stand_attack1b", 0.2);
}
Animation("stand_attack1a_lower")
{
BlendInTime(0.3);
BlendOutTime(0.3);
BlendTimeTo("stand_attack1a_end", 0.0);
BlendTimeTo("stand_attack1b", 0.15);
}

// Throw stuff....
ThrowAnimation("stand_throw");

State("IDLE")
{
Duration(0.0); // infinite duration
EnergyRestoreRate(); // (0.0, "FromSoldier")


Transition("ATTACK1")
{
If()
{
Break(); // all transitions are breaking if Duration is 0
Posture("Stand");
Button("Fire", "Press");
}
}
}

State("ATTACK1")
{
Posture("Stand");
Animation("stand_attack1")
{
// SyncType("attack1c", "ByTime");
AimType("None");
BlendInTime(0.15);
BlendOutTime(0.15);
}

Sound("rancor_amb", 15, "Frames");

//set a duration so we will go to state RECOVER3 before the animation ends

AlignedToThrust();

StrafeFactor(0.5);
TurnFactor(0.5);

InputLock("All", "!Thrust"); // lock all controls for duration of state
Attack()
{
Edge(0);
DamageTime(17, 20, "Frames");
DamageLength(1.5);
DamageWidth(1.25);
Damage(4000);
Push(20.0);
}
Attack()
{
Edge(1);
DamageTime(17, 20, "Frames");
DamageLength(1.5);
DamageWidth(1.25);
Damage(4000);
Push(20.0);
}


Transition("IDLE");
}
Any ideas will help, and yes I have plans to release this rancor immediately, as soon as I got it able to attack properly. Also the sounds arent working lol.

The Belch and I think the roar, but those may be just part of jabba palace's sounds.

-Update:

Im going to just make a short range choke weapon and have him use it as a secondary for now.

The sounds aren't working because they're not defined as weapon sounds, they're some kind of ambient sound. I know it sounds harder, but it would actually be better to just create a custom sound .lvl with all-new sounds for the rancor's attacks.

And your melee weapon probably isn't working because it doesn't have a geometry. Give it an invisible geometry, like the Acklay's or the Wampa's "lightsaber."

And who actually set up the rancor, rigged it, did the work, etc?

I did. I didn't do any remodels, any crap or such, I simply took the basepose, idle anim and grab anim, renamed the latter 2 and rigged it to a odf and combo, and it worked. And I figured out the weapon isn't working simply because I was missing DamageNums, so now I am going to upload the assets, which don't have new sounds. Might add them later.

I thought someone tried this before and ended up with an offset couple of bones to the dummyroot? I guess this is why it can't hurt to try more than once.
