Need help with the elephants please

[CPT Worsham]

I tried importing these RTR elephants to vanilla, and they turned out like this. Why do the archers stand on the elephant?

There is no animation for the elephant crew to ride the elephant(only the mahout does it). The animation you`re using now is for the regular elephants with towers so naturally the guy stands there as in a tower. You can adjust the height at which it is located by editing descr_mount, but if you lower it more it will simply sink into the elephant`s body and still be in an upright position. Prometheus had tried to make a riding animation for indian archers for Res Gestae, but he never completed it I was told. Only a wip has survived and from what I know the rider simply stands up when he fires.
The towerless forest elephants btw are meant to only have one rider, the mahout and no crew. You can set that up in EDU.

Florin80,

I fixed it by removing the crew in the EDU as you suggested. Thanks for the advice!
