    Can anyone think of any unusual waypoint animation IDs that I can explore and document? I'm not looking for the combat stuff, but the non-combat animations like the hammering blacksmith and the back-flipping goblins. Most models have the similar attack/feint/shield-bash animations in IDs 1 - 12. I'm looking for unusual ones to spice things up. I have no intention of getting into the model and mesh files, I just want to find any existing ones that I can use. I've come up with very few. I'm refering to the Anim IDs that go here:

    Anim IDs.jpg

    This is all I can think of so far:


    Models: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 104, 105 (Human M, Human F, Dwarf M, Dwarf F, Half-orc M, Half-Orc F)

    Anim ID 1: Goes to knees and worships. Only triggers with certain light and one-handed weapons. Doesn't work with no weapon in hand, two-handed weapons, ranged weapons, dagger, spear, and others.​


    Model: 504 (Blacksmith)

    Anim ID 1: Hammers 9 times. Like above, it only works with some weapons.​


    Models: 1055, 1056, 1057, 1058, 1059 (Goblins)

    Anim ID 1: Does 12 backflips.
    Anim ID 2: Pumps fists for 20 seconds.
    Anim ID 3: Pumps fists for 20 seconds, but mostly one-handed.​


    Models: 1153, 1154, 1155 (Ogres)

    Anim ID 1: Yawns and Stretches, then sits down and naps for 30 seconds.
    Anim ID 2: Picks butt, then sniffs fingers.​


    Models: 1032-37 (Zombies), 1030-40 (Lacedons), 1041-43 (Ghouls), 1050-52 (Ghasts)

    Anim ID 1: Goes to hands and knees, the chews while blood spatters (15 times)​

    Hmm... not really, though I'll keep an eye out if I ever get back to playing instead of messing with files =D

    I assume you mean animations that could be used by multiple figures, mainly? Like, the giant frog has its tongue attack animation, which is pretty unique, but I take it that's not the kind of thing you're looking for.

    They're about the only one's I've noticed. Maybe try looking at the models with V2Brute? I did that once and found many for the PC models, such as bull rush, that were made for elements of the rules not implemented.

    Ooh there's an anim for Bullrush? We have to implement that now!

    Thanks for mentioning that!

    I only used that program for particles last year for a while, then realized there were so many particles available I didn't really need to make my own, and never went back to it.. I either forgot or never even realized you could examine the animations with it.

    Now if I can just get it to stop crashing every 90 seconds. :sadblinky


    EDIT: Found a few already with it. I'll compile any more and update the top post with the new ones. Zombie on his hands and knees chewing on the ground while blood spatters, hehe.

    Marc, now that you mention it, I think ghouls do that one too...

    There's a flag (can't remember what it is right now but it doesn't seem to be commonly used - something along the lines of an NPC being on alert) that will incidentally cause some NPCs to do a kind of cool looking look left-look right type animation, as opposed to their normal idle. I recall seeing it on some ogres and/or giants.

    One place you could check to see if you can detect some unfamiliar animation names is in a proto's mesh files (.ska and .skm), one of which lists all of the proto's idle animations, as well as associated SFX. It's surprising how many most critters have, although I think many or even most aren't actually used. (The audio is synced with the animations because they do stuff like grunt when they fidget, etc. Or they're supposed to.)

    Probably flag 144 (the Temple alert flag). I've seen it checked in the DLL.

    I meant an object flag actually, although 144 in the .dll may still be so.

    Here is a question?

    How do you manipulate the PC animations or NPC animations in game?


    I found if you use

    game.leader.obj_set_int(obj_f_critter_flags, OCF_COMBAT_MODE_ACTIVE)

    you see the selected member go into a combat animation that isn't ever seen in the

    actual game.


    does anyone know about Critter flags or critter_flags2

    or any flags in general that controls the animation sequences?


    further does anyone understand what the function Anim_CallBack funtions are used
    for?


    I had spent some time on this but found nothing on how to control the animations.

    Does this need to be set by using some waypoint function?
