I just thought up a new way that could make it so that we could possibly have capes for all units. Right now we can use the Dooku cape and Darthvader cape but they kinda suck. First of all I want to say that I don't know much of XSI so correct me if I am wrong.

I was thinking that if someone made just a square or and object that looks like a cape in XSI and gives it the cloth properties then you could export it and such. Then to attach it, think of how the holocron in the campaign "clips" on to the model. It attaches to this bone "bone_pelvis" Maybe then we could attach the cape the same way as the holocron. It might be off center but through trial and error it could probably be aligned.

Again, I know about nothing of XSI so correct me if I am wrong, it just sounded possible.

Cheers, Sawyerdk9

if it works,many new paths will be opened in modding nice idea

I also thought of this a while back, but I'm not sure if it works or not. Someone should try it.

great idea :idea:

Minilogoguy, Teancum, and other expierienced XSIers what do you think. Possible?

Yup, the cape would need to be modeled and animated tho. It can't use the game's cloth system unless it's attached to the unit.

Hmm that sucks. How hard would it be to animate? You would need the what... basepose, idle, runforward backward, left right jump and maybe crouch?

Dunno. Best thing to do is look at Dooku's/Vader's old cape... I think it's under SoldierAddon in the animations. Something like that.

i thought it used the games phisycs engine

Well Dookus/Vaders capes use a Basepose, Idle and runforward. I was saying the others so it would look more realistic.

hey, got an idea outta this: making the "cape" an attachment like a weapon, or just a cool thing like the duallaser thing the arc-trooper has in clone warss chapter 21, but maybe just a visorthing like the one on the ATTE:D

I don't really get what you mean. The way to attach the old Dooku/Vader Capes was to call for it in the odf. It was called an animated addon or such.

You can use dooku and vader's capes how long have I not known this? Do you put them in normaly or is there a special way?

You can use their BF1 capes. They were built before the cloth system for BF2.

It's the BF1 style capes, so they don't swish around properly like they do in Battlefront II. If you've played Tatooine Valley Penguin attached one of the capes to her MagnaGuard.

That's what I was guessing. I'm adding it to my SBD and my magna guard in my sides mod which no one knows I'm making wait, did I just that outloud

OFF-TOPIC Hm that's interesting. This means I could make a more accurate-to-the-game Darth Revan using Sidious' robe...

There is only two capes. They are pretty much the same too. Just different colors I think.

and the animations don't seem to work for the SWBF 1 capes ((atleast, i've never tried))
