Now you *don't* see it... (attn: MDA)

So. The Magus has done it again, filling my head all full of new ideas and Things To Do. :-P

Damn Magus.

 

According to the lexicon, *some* creatures (only creatures) have an alternate disappear/appear pair of anims used for neat tricks like flying across a gorge or beholders sinking down their famous access holes...

 

Sure enough, checking out the Beholder c_behold in NWExplorer reborn, I see:

 

Oh. my. What I can do with that (specifically thinking of big Purp thanks to chat with Henesua and KlatchainCoffee), but also I can finally restore that really creepy appear anim for the giant spider that we all saw in the original trailer for NwN, but was afterwards removed. (touch the spider to see the vid :-)

 

 

So, a special request for MDA... :-)

Can you please add cappear2 and cdisappear2 to the anim rollout in NWMax+? =)

Ok, well, the rollout doesn't work. That is, the #2 anims aren't in the list and if I import the c_behold (that has the anims) the drop-down list breaks.

 

But!

 

I was able to anim mapper the base & root dummy from the c_behold to the c_spidgiant and that  anim is exporting...

 

 

Now to see if I can trigger it in game :-)

Sorry about that.  I added them to one spot (when creating an aurorabase, you can elect to add anim keys), but not to the actual dropdown list.  This has been fixed.

You are quite simply one of the vastly under-appreciated wonders of this community... all these years; constant, knowledgeable responses, a quiet, humble presence that just continues to come through.

 

I am rather proud I can call you friend, MDA :-)

Yeah. It works :-)

The creepy crawlies are once again creepy...
