In my new mod for BF1, i will be featuring an arc-170 from BF2. I acquired it by downloading BF2's mod tools ( to ggtuck for giving me that advice) and i pulled it out of the assets folder. I merged it into the odf of the jedi starfighter although i did change up a few things
Here is my odf:
And heres the Dome odf (whatever that means)
The problem is that i need the wings to open on takeoff, and i cannot seem to get that to happen. I have no idea how to make that occur. I would be very grateful if someone could answer this problem i have.

AnimationName = "rep_fly_jedifighter"

You're trying to load the Jedi Fighter's animations for the ARC-170.

oh, so i change it to
AnimationName = "rep_fly_arc170fighter"
in the first odf?

No change it in both, I think.

I changed it in the first and i couldn't figure out what to change in the second.
It still didn't work. Do i need to add a line to the second about the animationname

Did you put the animations in the /[side name]/munged folder?

For the arc-170, you will need the it's animation files in the rep\munged folder. I think that it is: And if you need them, the jedi starfighter: Side question: I can also find the files: These are the same as the jedi figher ones, are they?

Hidden/Spoiler:

rep_fly_arc170fighter.anims
rep_fly_arc170fighter.zafbin (that has gotta be one of the strangest file names ever...)
rep_fly_arc170fighter.zaabin

Yep, this is what you need

rep_fly_jedifighter.anims

These are not needed

These are the same as the jedi figher ones, are they?

Nope, these are the anims for the Episode 3 fighter. The other one is for the Episode 2 fighter. Neither of these are needed in this case.

thanks all, it was kind of stupid of me not realizing that i needed the animation files. Thanks for all the help

so u can use swbf2 animations 4 swbf1? sweet! so i could get lightsaber throw 2 work and lightsaber animations and wampa.

Raw animations work, yes. But you can't do jedi combos and whatnot. You're still stuck with one melee animation.

can you define raw animations, it would be cool to rig up other BF2 stuff.

Well, Jedi, the Wampa and a few other things use SWBF2's combo system, which means they can have multiple attack animations and whatnot. In SWBF1 you're still stuck with just one swing and one force power animation. Basically you can only make animations that exist in-game, whereas in SWBF2 you could make all-new ones.

For example:
You could have the wampa's idle. In you animation set you would just call it the same thing. And you could have one attack animation, because there's a melee attack already in SWBF1. But you can't have something like a left claw swipe and then a right claw swipe, because there aren't two melee animations in SWBF1.

How would I replace say.... the laying down animation with the sprint animation from bf2?

is it possible 2 change the damage of melee in swbf1? ive tried adding MaxDamage line but that didnt change anything.

Not possible, controlling sprint is hard-coded, I think.

Sprint isn't an animation anyways. It's the regular run animation sped up.

Not sure. I've seen it done before in NapSeeker's Final Battle At Utapau mod where he changed the base damage for the Electrostaff, but I don't know how he did it. I thought "MaxDamage" was used when a bolt hits a certain place ie the head of a unit.

try typing in: DamageFinalDamage

i've read through many weapon files, and there is mostly one in each.

me:
yes, MaxDamage is the 'critical hit' Damage. but not only for bolts, it works even when driving on someone with (excample): speederbike.
so, it is DamageFinalDamage and not MaxDamage you should type in.

I tried it, it didn't work.
