Horse System work around

<Perhaps..... .>

 

In order to save some time,

Which specific models are affected?

 

...   ...   ...

 

 

If you are really desperate you could fix selected ones using notepad.......

Its deeper than just a notepad fix. For example, on the griffin, the front forearms/shins are part of the feet. To fix it correctly, the foot and forearm/shin would need to be separated. Furthermore, the griffins head isn't animating either. 

 

In any event, I've laid out the hierarchy of the horse animation super - for the parts related to the mount:

 

rootdummy_h

• neck_h > head_h


• pelvis_h > lhip_h > lthigh_h > lshin_h > lankle_h > lfoot_h (repeat for right side - rhip_h > etc.)


• lcalvicle_h > lshoulder_h > lbicep_h > lforearm_h > lwrist_h > lhand_h (repeat for right side - rclavicle_h > etc.)

As you can see the hierarchy is pretty simple. I'm going to redo the griffon and see what happens.

I believe in you...

@ Pstemarie,

 

<I just opened the c_Gryphon_mt

It is immediately obvious where the internal naming convention deviates from the h_ba hierarchy>

 

What I meant to imply was that if you don't have the time, I do (perhaps).

Which models (beyond the gryphon) need some TLC?

The Q project is of such import to the whole community,

that if you or Draygoth are occupied, I feel it is important to step up.

 

In max, the renaming process is quite straight forward (if a bit tedious).

If there are more complex problems, I can address them too.

 

I shall look for word of your success with the gryphon....

I'll mount up and see which ones are in need.  Should have a report back soon

I mounted all the Q mounts in game and they all seem to be troubled by the stiff front legs/head and strange back leg movements.  

 

The only one that seemed alright was the grey Rhino mount, the front legs seemed to be working properly, might want to give it a look anyway.

 

Looking forward to releasing my horse alternative to the community!  Puts a little different spin on it.

 

Here is a list of all the Q mounts via the appearance.2da

 

"Q_Goat_White"      

"Q_Goat_Black"

Yiikes !

 

Thank you for checking all those.

I did not realize that they may all be bugged....

 

Ok...

 

Do you have a preference as to which you might need/ want first, Giantsword?

 

As Santa's expected ambush recedes, I will attempt to dig into this list.

Hopefully, they are all a name/hierarchy issue.

I forsee some potential for skinmesh / animation problems too...

If that is true, then the final output may take a while longer than anticipated.

Everything will have to be run past Pstemarie too.

 

[Hopefully Draygoth will surface with his source models at/in hand]

 

Joyeux Noel !!

Hey Killmonger! 

 

I was just being thorough with which models were in need of TLC   Didn't mean to make that sound like a giant to-do list haha!

 

Here is my list of mounts I plan on using for sure, in order of priority if you can only do one or two, start at the top of the list '>

 

"Q_Goat_Black"                                            GoatB_mt - if doing only one goat, do black

"Q_Deer_mount2"                                        c_deer2_mt if doing only one deer, do grey

"Q_Wolf_grey_mount"                                  c_Wolf_mt

"Q_Fox_Red_mount"                                   c_fox_mt

Griffon, unarmored, not sure if its "Q_Gryph_mount" or "Q_Gryph3_mount"

"(Mount) Lizard: Subterranean"                   c_SubLiz_mt (too cool, BUT looks very difficult to animate properly since its on its hind legs.. do a black or brown bear instead of this one if it's causing a lot of problems)

 

I'm good with these, a Black bear being runner up but like I said if you can only do a few, start with  a goat and a deer. 

 

I'm starting a Norse themed module so the above would fit really well in my setting. Imagine small races riding those beautiful goats and druids on deerback! 

 

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<No worries>

 

Draygoth has re-surfaced (see Q mount animation thread)

 

<But patience may be required....>
