Improved unit walk animations

[ckitching]

is this dead?

Until I can export my animations, yes.

You can see my college work at http://www.octachorondigital.com
None of the Lion Guard work that I have done has been aired, so I can't share anything from that.

This would be a frustating reason for this not to work.

Perhaps the script is being run with the wrong version of Python? (Python 2.x vs Python 3 is pretty fussy on occasion).

You might want to talk to Resin_Smoker, I think he's had some experience fiddling with this.

I hope you can get this working it would be a great visual improvement to FAF.

So I was missing a step in setting up the scripts, and the export is working now. All I need is a way to get the file to Anihilnine.

Made a simpler animation that looks more like a walk then the last one.

Made a simpler animation that looks more like a walk then the last one.

That's really excellent.

Can I have an sca suitable for putting into the game?

i sent it to ckitching

I uploaded a mod for you to work with, called HexAnimMod
Search for Hex in the mod vault and press the search button
Download it and run.

In it I put the models and animations for all 4 acu's so you can edit them all.
I put in your first aeon animation so you can see your work in game straight away. It looks good! Never noticed how anal the old cycle looked. Note I didn't put in your latest custom animation.

So you should be able to open the models and animations for the other acu's, then save them over the top of the files in this mod ... restart FAF and see your new walk cycle. When you are ready we can talk about how to upload your mod so that other's can get your animations. Sounds like ckitching is keen to integrate your work into FAF itself later also.

The mod files are at:
{my documents}\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Mods\HexAnimMods

There is a folder for each faction where you get the models and animations. Once again you will need to match the file names exactly that are there.

There is also a folder called "units" which contains some overrides of blueprints that are necessary. I think you will want to edit them to change the walk cycle speed. These file names are unchangeable but hard to read
UAL0001 - aeon
UEL0001 - uef
URL0001 - cybran
XSL0001 - sera

Sorry it's a bit tricky but that's as easy as I can make it for you

Thanks for doing this!

Thanks Anihilnine. I've found the mod, and am now working out of that. I have just finished the UEF ACU walk.



I'm also obsessed with Blender's atmosphere settings.

Also, if there is any thought anyone wants to add, don't hesitate to say it. I'm open to suggestions or revisions.

I have both animations working in the game.
