What is the "men shuffle forwards, not backwards" mod?

Hi All,

I can't remember the name of the mod that makes your men shuffle forwards, rather than spreading out backwards to a ridiculous degree.

I've just reinstalled, and I need to get the mod again - if anyone can provide a link, I can give them all the +rep and gay sex they can handle!

Cheers

haha, i don't think you will get many takers there!

I know! It was just a tiny little thing, I'm sure I found it here originally, but so so useful! Your men stay reasonably close together. It's awesome!

That is found with the AOR colonies mod animation pack released by banzai, and also with the RR beta at page 124 of the RR thread. Credit to banzai for working that out too.

Well, it might be, but that isn't where I got it. It was a poster who'd just put up a small file fix, I installed it, worked great first time. There wasn't a lot to it, but thanks anyway.

It can be done via the descr_skeleton.txt file and recompiling your animations. Otherwise you will need to download the animations, about 50+ meg.

We are definitely not talking about the same patch. This was a few kb and easy to install.

Sounds odd. It can only be done via animations, aside from some tweaks to the EDU which have a lesser effect.

I really don't know, this was a modified .ini file or something like that, and it just meant that when the men got into combat, they wouldn't space wildly out as they usually do. No fancy stuff, as I'm aware.
