I have atempted prone in bf2, it would be the crouch, i remade human_0.zaabin and zafbin, not sure if you put this in common.lvl or what, can somebody test it for me. USES RIFLE ANIMATION BANK

When pressing crouch, guess what, he crouches.

using the anhimation i uploaded? hm... would i need to make a new animation bank or something?

No, but renaming your prone msh to the exact same name than the crouch msh in the human_0 folder before munging your animset.

You can't just go prone via animations. It's also a "state" that was removed. Even if you could make it look like they're prone you any time they'd fire they'd go back into a crouch position. Many veterans have tried, all have failed.

@Teancum, theres a first time for everything.

@teamcum again, not if u change the shoot animations (which i did..), but then again collision might be messed up

You're missing the point. The animations are an extremely small part of a bigger problem. I was able to do prone animations a long time ago as an experiment for the Convo Pack. That part is easy. What I couldn't do was tell the game to treat the character as prone, because the prone "state" is gone. What that means is no matter how you set up the animations shots, camera, etc will still treat it as though the player is crouching.

Take a look at \BF2_Tools\data\Common\odfs\com_inf_default.odf, a file which can define the camera and movement for those states. *MAYBE* you can replace one of those states, such as crouch, but your custom side would have to use a custom com_inf_default.odf or tie those back into your custom side odfs and not point them to com_inf_default at all, as that file is a part of ingame.lvl and would break everything compatibility-wise to replace.

If you're really serious another way to see if the prone state (known below as a posture) works at all is to create a simple .combo file that forces a jedi to go into the prone state. Pysch0fred has a documented .combo file at the link below, and I've copied the relevant parts hare:

You'll basically have to to set the posture to prone and ensure you have _prone animations that you've munged. If done correctly and the code still works the character should go prone, which would tell us whether the code is physically there to go prone.
