Help with assembling animations [solved :D]

well i made a new character so i thought hey ill make custom animation for him! so i put a bunch of other characters anims together and munged it,and i got the files, no errors,and my map didnt crash. but when i played as my character he had luke's anims the default ones.(i specified the new animations via odf also)

here's a download link to see what i did> no need fixed

im thinking he needs combo files, is that so?
if its true then i have no idea how to make those.

thanks

Edit: tested anims on the royal guard

If he has a saber, he will need a COMBO. Look through them, you might be able to just put bits and pieces together, although I really know nothing about COMBO creation.

You'll find more help and more in-depth information if you look at "combo.txt" in the docs as well. Additionally, I think a tutorial was written up on GT; always be sure to check the "Everything you need" thread before posting a "help" topic.

i thought you got lukes anims if you didnt have the ones the combo calls for

ill post a screenshot of my nazgul anim folder if anybody wants

Re: Help with assembling animations

Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:24 am
by DarthD.U.C.K.
and you called your anims exactly like in the combo file?

its better if you just rename the part in front of the anim like naz_stand_dashattack
maybe this causes the crash, battlefront can be very nitpicky with names

and you will have to edit the combo, if you want to use anims fro different guys, mace would make his groundcrack in midair as examnple if you gave him mauls combo..

yes i have all the files you see that have naz in them an example of one of the renamed anims would be animations are nazgul_sabre_stand_nazattack1a_end but i dond have any files ending with _over do i have to specify the _full at the end of the name?

and when i didnt edit the main name it stayed with lukes animations (i think)

Re: Help with assembling animations

animation human_sabre_stand_nazattack1c(_upper) could be a problem if you renamed them all.


EDIT - Oh wait...nvm.

Re: Help with assembling animations

Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:55 pm
by MileHighGuy
i renamed human(or obiwan/vader/dooku) to nazgul in all of m animations as well as putting a naz in front of the attack name.

so.. that wouldnt be a problem?

Re: Help with assembling animations

Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2009 6:27 am
by DarthD.U.C.K.
remove the naz in fron of the attack
and keep the appropriated endings of the anims
_emote means that the anim only affect the upper body (not 100% shure)
_full means that it affects the full body

Re: Help with assembling animations

Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2009 4:12 pm

Eh, take the ones that the log is complaining about and put them in your animations folder, then munge those anims in with the rest. See what happens.

But do what DarthD.U.C.K. says first.

remove the naz in fron of the attack
i did this and it worked!!

thank you!!
