As mentioned elsewhere, we've now actually have someone who is not only able, but willing to create new animations (even after learning all the necessary oddities we require). Taro has begun creating quite a few animations. Assuming he isn't, dunno, swallowed by the earth or something, I expect to add quite a few animations here. He creates the anims, the rest of discord gives feedback and some scripting help, and I implement the stuff code-side. You might even spot stuff in development on our Discord thingy.

At some point I will likely make a separate how-to thread on how to add new animations to the game, from Taro's blender and animation stuff over .sti weirdness to the rudimentary the basic code change requirements.

Anyway, new stuff here.

This should be rather useful - you can now move forward while aiming down a gun simultaneously while crouched. I'll likely make a video of this and other animations at some point.
Edit: As of r8497 & GameDir r2398, I've lowered BP_MODIFIER_WEAPON_READY (which is extra breath cost for movement with guns raised) from 30 to 10, otherwise this movement method will drain you very quick.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, this is savegame compatible. Using new exes without the new gamedir data will cause your employer to pay your salary in loot boxes.

Note: This thread is intended for stuff that is implemented and committed to the trunk.

I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.

Too early to hope for HMG's in the relatively near future?

HMG animation already exists.

If I recall, weren't the HMG animations incomplete?

This is great, lot's of potential there.
Now somebody should make strafing while crouched possible (normal and while aiming). Also same for prone maybe ;)

Ha! That would be awesome. Strafing while crouching is much needed tactical addition, same with rolling while prone. This would make game finally complete as a tactical simulator.

What does the small (r) in front of the numbers mean ? and what is a GameDir ? I have been wondering for a long time.

r = release, as in "software release 7609"
GameDir = main game directory - the top-level folder you have installed the game into.

The "r" stands for "revision". This is a number that gets increased automatically every time someone commits a change to SVN. So many changes mean a big jump in the number from one release to the next.

Cycle through the available firing options using the "B" key - and you will get to "Bayonet".

There are people at Russian forum willing to make some new animations, can you share the models/tools/hints you have to simplify process?
One possibility is creating binocs watching animations, but we lack some technical details and processing tools.

Is <ubAnimationID>6</ubAnimationID> in explosives.xml refering to ui-Index 6 in explosionData.xml or to some stuff stored in hardcode?

What I would like to do is something like (for example):

- an action item that uses the explosion-animation of grenades exploding in water to connect it to pipe-like sti-graphics I made, giving the illusion that steam is coming out if damaging those

- or some of the green craeture gas when damaging barrels (new ones) on the junkyard/laboratory or other places where arulcan people dumped them


So, basicly using existing animations in a different matter and take them as new action items (the bomb items for the action-items)


Another thing I'd love to do is making my boat animated. Would it be enough to look into how this is done for Hummer or Combat Jeep and try to do the same? And are the animations in folder animations "all" that is needed? Or are other things stored in different places as well?

Major problem might be to put it on water, since water seems to be restricted for vehicles. Oh, and of course the bodytype-nr for map-editor, a case I have no clue at all how to do this.

Are those even possible tasks, given the fact that I might can try to do graphics (rough ones), lua and xml but don't know much about code at all?
