Toads and Frogs

[Legacy_henesua]

               I've been unsatisfied with the toads and frogs I can find on the vault. I've seen the beautiful work Diademus/Babayaga has posted on these forums of giant frogs, but these do not yet appear available. And I would prefer something that is not at a monstrous size. Something natural and innocuous looking.

So... anyone know of some good looking frog and/or toad models?

My goal is to have a good polymorph form for a witch to turn a character into. Chicken and penguin will work, but toad would be much better.

               Baba Yaga's awesome frog model is available, but needs animation work (something I'm tinkering with in my spare time (which is rare) just to teach myself how to animate a creature...it's a very slow learning process since I'm also working on multiple other projects).

               Ahhh cool I did not see that you uploaded the toads to the vault, maybe I jump on animating it so I have something to go with the stomach placables. '> thanks baba yaga great models '>

               Has anyone filled out the animations on this frog yet?

I am still looking for a frog/toad soundset too if anyone knows of one. Thanks.

               I'd love to use these frogs as well with new animations, or rather, fixed ones. Baba Yaga, you can't give up that quickly! '>

FP!

               the real issue is how I had setup the jump animation back then. It doesnt match any moving rate you set in the 2da entry at all. I think i even moved (at that time by accident) the root dummy forward in the mid and back and so the awkward jumping bounce happened. My original files are also lost in space... so i can only suggest by now, set his ass to immobile and use them only to guard little passages for swampy areas...The tounge attack works great at least for me. For missle attacks just try to use a special "dodge" under water simulated script or so?!

p.s.

that was funny for a sec....

(reposted from a thread it was in danger of derailing)

Baba has the tongue attack in for both the frog & bullywog. The jumping anims are going to be my main focus.

WS, is there a video anywhere of that anim?

               the jumping animation is somewhat borked Rolo. I´m sure i messed up the timescale for the animation and never got the correct entry for the 2da walkdist/ rundist.

               <poking the frog...>

That's why I'm focusing on that :-)

But I'm also thinking of making the throat a skinmesh with some bones to make it bulge for the swallow-whole attack ;-)

               pretty cool idea. I always thought about a swallow attack but due to the limitations we have or that we cant freeze a PC in order to synchronize a "creature attack + PC defend/helpless" animation i skipped that...makes sense?

In resident evil games when the zombies bites you your PC is freezed as long as the zombie completes his attack. These things are so cool and if anyone has an idea we could create some very nasty special attacks for other creatures too;)

Slimes as an example would swallow you too and melt your flesh and bones...

               <wondering who's coming...>

What do you mean we can't freeze the PC? Certainly we can. And make him spasm to boot...

In fact, I seem to remember a certain illithid "eat brains" special attack that does just that, though I think that was just a cutscenes...

Anyway, I think we can do it :-)

[Legacy_NWN_baba yaga]

               the guy who did the resident evil zombies made a special cutscene where the zombies feed on you and you die... with a black fade out before the "you died" screen but we need it ingame... so just a pause. Or we do kill the pc instantly when a swallow attack was succesfull which is pretty bad;)

               jump them to lord of worms stomach tileset!

               I toke the stomach tileset and made them into placables of different sizes, I thought I sent them to that month CCC. I also put them into my HR base with a full script system that let you have any monster swallow them to a stomach. Check it out if you get a chance, the bear and spider have it on them on the start level for example. There a PDF too that explains it some of it.
