WEAPONCxx should be on the top above WEAPONAxx on the missile pod

that animation is great, for you second draft make the top part tilt to one side as a leg is being lifted, that would really really show the weight of it

Wot i left for some days and i didnt have access to internet, No stack i want to create this mech a total tank killer i will make it kill any tank but will have to go close (it's range its 190), and kill any tank in one shot (Of course one shot of the gauss that will be fired from the big holes next to his head, and not from its hands)but helpless vs aircrafts, so the missile pod is not an option the two laser under its head is a good idea (also in the mechwarrior game it fires laser from there...) When it will be ready pendaelose will make the code (i want to thank him for this !!!) And then i will insert this into the current version of Pendaelose i have, But when creator release its new version i will place it there too, so if creator has in the next version a mech that is medium for everything (twin plasma cannons, twin gattlings and a missile pod) I will put an advenced TANK KILLER !!!!Also i think that pendaelose will include this mech to his next version !

the first version of 'moving' animation 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Robot body should move up and down when he is walking. Fix please.

[viator]

yes, i've made that in next version, but did someone download it?

[Pendaelose]

I saw. Very nice. I especialy like the newer walking animation. the torso movment makes a huge differnce. I'm finaly back in town so I should be able to start working again.

fafnir for testing

     IdleAnimation       = Fafnir_SKL.Fafnir_STA 5 60
      IdleAnimation       = Fafnir_SKL.Fafnir_IDA
      IdleAnimation       = Fafnir_SKL.Fafnir_IDB
      AnimationMode       = ONCE

what do those numbers mean? fps? when they are present game wont play _IDA and _IDB (idle anims) :/

I think for idle it should be 0 60 I think. I think the 0 is min speed and 60 is max. as long as the unit is between these speeds it will play the animation... but I'm honetly not 100% sure. You might want to try around with 0 10... I will see if i can get a Fafnir Test run today for myself.

thanks
now it works (updated version)

_IDB animation looks kind of wierd in game
probably will be replaced
maybe someone has an idea for new one?

I've not gotten to see it in game yet. you really don't need much of an idle animation. The turret can be given a idlescan behavior that looks pretty darn good. easier to customize too. you can look at the aiupdate code for a patriot to see what I mean.

I would gladly help but i don't know nothing about modelling ! Pendaelose when you will be able to start coding, when matador has the model ready ? Viator Fafnir is the best unit i've ever saw in generals !!! Thank you very much for this !

EDIT: Creator are you ganna use the fafnir in your version ? If you think it doubles the work of your the first mech then think it like this : The first mech is medium-good at everything (plasma:tanks, gattlings:infantry, rocket pod: planes), the second works like a tank slayer it kills any tank with it's big cannons but has short range, big life and no hope against planes,helicopters and infantry should make his life a nightmaire too !!! The fisrt one at lvl 4 and a cost of 3200 $ and the second at lvl 5 with a cost of 6 or 5000 !
