This gets my mind soaring for the tactical possibilities. A shield is not overpowered at all, so it fits the general JA2 style and enhances the arsenal to provide cover in open ground encounters and enables closing gaps between hard cover points. The AI will certainly not use it like that but imagination is what counts here. This adds the element of not simply shooting whoever gets close but picking priority targets in early encounters. Nice work, the pictures look great.

If a few people would each finish one animation per day, the shield would be game-ready pretty soon. Razz

I created the 4 animations above in around 4 days. It was going quite fast after I was used to the work pipeline (export all frames of one animation, line them all up on one image, place the correct shield graphic over each frame, then adjust the position, then fix the left arm). It's really not a lot work... just very tedious, as everyone who ever worked on a 2d animation with 8 directions can probably confirm.

Compared to many of the other created animations so far, it really doesn't require a huge graphical talent, to be honest.

A phalanx pushing forward... Horses panicking when they run in on a wall of shields... Erm, I mean the dodging of bullets, throwing knives, blunt melee weapons, knives, and hand-to-hand...
Grenades, snipers, heavy weapons will be handy^^

Wow. On the one hand, I'd say the shield should be moving with the arm. On the other, this actually looks better than expected. Not bad.

Yeah. The first 4 directions will need some work on the left arm (it should stick to the shield, not move as normal) but other than that, it's mighty fine.

I've actually been thinking about the sheer amount of work that this is gonna be, honestly you haven't even touched the base of what's gonna be needed.
How about death animations, shields don't just disappear when someone gets killed.
Once you equip a shield it will have to be in every animation, from throwing grenades to using the radio to bandaging...

The shield is dropped to the ground, just as is with the weapons. My list above covers at least all mus-have animations for the feature to work in the game. Everything else is just bonus.

radio animation can be skipped, just as bandaging can be disallowed if shield is in your hand (try to bandage someone with a shield on your arm anyway).

Some arm/shield movement would probably make it look more natural.

Actually, i don't think so. Tais' animation fix looks very natural to me. When holding a riot shield, or any other large or rather heavy object, you don't move your arm that much.

Aaaaawesoooome! Needs a charging shield bash tackle animation with +3 to stun and -1 to keeping your teeth. Grand.

Ever felt so vulnerable while going for a jog? Say no to pesky wounds to the chest from your left side with a comfortable Wound-No-More exercise shield. Warning, may cause injury or asphyxiation when swallowed by children under the age of 3. Does not make you Spartan.

This might be a silly question, we're talking about new animations here, but has anyone added martial arts animations for the regular female body type? It would be really cool to see a female martial artist with proper animations in the game.

Maybe the coders could go all CAPCOM-KOF style and use Deidranna's "Slap Elliot" animation as a special attack for female martial artists. Smile

Is anybody still doing any animations?

I noted tonight there is no animations for the enemy to talk into radio when standing in water, currently it jumps up a handful of pixels showing his feet rather than have them submerged in the water.
