Combining Combos?

I'm not sure what is up with the animation then... The only thing I could suggest is to do a "find and replace" (make sure ALL instances are changed since there will be mentions of it outside the attack states) of the following string:

Code: Select all

"stand_attack1c"

and change that line to:

Code: Select all

"stand_attack1c_full"

That "should" enforce the full body animation instead of just the upper default, but I've never actually tested something like that. Does it do anything?

Sorry, no change.

oh well.

you're using notepad right? it may help to go under edit: replace then replace top and bottom (or whatever) with full.
i did this with my jedi and it fixed it.

the thing is, there is no animations that end in _top or _bottom, it its either full, or nothing. and this combo is just a compilation of other combo files, so there should be nothing wrong.

Yet another thing to try:

In the ATTACK3_LAND state, right above the "TurnFactor(0.5);" add this: ThrustFactor(0.0);

Example:

ThrustFactor(0.0);
TurnFactor(0.5);

Does that do anything?

OK, now I have another problem. I tried to ude a different skin (thanks Darth_Maul!) but it doesn't work. I used "overridetexture"in the odf. I know it doesn't work for all units, but the line was in the original ODF, so what's the problem?

the only thing in the Bfront2 log was this:

Code: Select all

Message Severity: 2
.\Source\EntitySoldier.cpp(10471)
Soldier jed_inf_jedi has geometry collision

this is the odf:

do you see what's wrong?

I thought the ".tga" was assumed in the odf. Was the extension there when you were first editing the file?

As to the combo prob, the only other thing I can think of to do is to restore the original states for that specific attack. What I mean by that is, if you are using Luke's animations for the third attack, copy (only) the third attack related states out of Luke's combo file and overwrite the ones in your edited combo file. That should transfer all the correct timings and settings for the attack animation. Be sure to backup your edited file before hand though, just in case. Also note that for some combo files, attack related states aren't always labeled "ATTACK#". In Luke's case, the "RECOVER3" state is actually part of his third attack.

Aside from that, I can't think of any more suggestions without being able to play around with the file itself. Good luck finding a solution though.

I didn't do anything with attacks 1-3 (and their recovers), it is the same as what Mace Windu has, there is no difference. I don't see why this is a problem.

on the skin thing, It didn't work with .tga or without it.

so, you renamed your skin to be jed_inf_jed01 and it worked?

Edit: Yup! that did it! woot!

now if we could just figure out that combo....

Combining Combos?

This is getting annoying.....
