Animation Research

[SleepKiller]

While I was going through the SWBF1 exe (I WAS NOT MODIFYING IT) to research ODF stuff I found some animation stuff my findings are below.

They will only be useful if you wish to expand on/redo the anamation banks.

A standered anmation is done in the fowlowing format.

human_bank_pose_action


These prove that anmation banks are hard coded in SWBF1.

A note the lists have not been tested and some of the things on them may or may not work.

Nice. I will be glad to see the day when a custom animation builder is released for swbf.

A note the Animation Actions list is incomplete.

I've actually noticed that certain animations can be altered by entering custom skeletons to unit odfs


skeleton names in SWBF1
all_inf_wookie
cis_inf_bdroid
cis_inf_sbdroid
cis_inf_ig88 (adding this to a stormtrooper or clone odf makes the walking and rifle animation more realistic)
MileHighGuy's wampa skeleton

skeleton names in SWBF2. These all work in BF1
wookie and wookieslz (lz means the lowrez skeleton for lowrez figures)
bdroid
Chewbacca skeleton
sbdroid
magnaguard and magnaguardlz
vader
]v['s custom p3 Darktrooper skeleton from +123 mod

It is also possible to create extra large or extra small units with the skeletons. For example, you could scale wookiee skeletons and meshes to twice the sides by editing the scale figure in the skeleton munge.bat and adding a scale command in the msh's option file.

You can also change baseposes in skeletons to alter animations signifcantly.

the scaling of meshes, is very possible and ive tested myself, it acn also be done with vehicles, as of now im trying to get custom animation SIDE ONLY so no common.lvl would be needed

[Nikoli]

Question; is it possible to use an infantry animation for a vehicle? I'd like to make a mech using the SBD's animation, but I don't  know if it'll work. And has anyone found an ATST or ATXT or ATRT bone structure for making models with?

[jdee-barc]

On psych0fred's website, there might be an AT-PT or ATST bone structure to use
