Whoever said that RTW modding is over is wrong. Amazing job Wlesmana! A major contribution to the RTW comunity for sure!

Hi Wles, any new animation being worked on? Did you create the new fellbeast animation?

**Jarlaxe** · October 22, 2010, 10:16 PM

i noticed that when you wright your animations in the text of the sceleton you have to be aware of the exact letters(caps or no)
if your animation is named for example
-mpla.CAS
you have to wright it
-mpla.CAS
not
-mpla.cas

or else you will have ctd without any ****** error

it took me sometime time to figure this out

The RTW engine (which I think was rectified in M2TW) reads every bone in the skeleton by a set list.

It's the same in M2TW.

Amazing !!! there's much to do with it.

So you could have more fluid swinging and stabbing with swords, axes?

**Raritу** · April 11, 2012, 12:16 AM

I know that wlesmana is no longer active, but it would be nice if someone knows how he made the bowstring animation without moving the bones, which was told not to be possible in the OP?

**Pat89** · April 11, 2012, 06:14 AM

Just rotate them?

**Raritу** · April 11, 2012, 07:31 AM

Of course, that must be the only way.

But still, how did he manage to move the string simply by rotating it's bone?

**Pat89** · April 11, 2012, 03:02 PM

I suppose you could add two bones on the hand bone (or at least one on the hand bone and one on top of that like: -0-0-0 (green is hand, blue is dummy and red is string)), which acts like a scissor to move the string and bow.

**Raritу** · April 12, 2012, 05:22 AM

Simply brilliant

I think I've got the string working. I presume he did the same with the arrow, right?

**Pat89** · April 12, 2012, 05:55 AM

Think so yes.

**Raritу** · April 12, 2012, 06:45 AM

Doing this tricky thing sure shows how talented wlesmana is.

Too bad he's inactive, I still have many things need to be asked, like how exactly to copy new bones' coordinates in MAX script and add them to the skeleton's file. It wasn't quite clear enough for me.
