I have found something..... (NEW DEATH ANIMATIONS VIDEO UPLOADED)

[warman222]

In the unpacked CA animations folder, there are some fatalities, knockbacks and other awesome stuff that I am not sure if people knew about that WERE NOT IN THE GAME. Many are in the New_Swordsman and other "New" folders. If you open some in milkshape, there are at least three fatalities and many knockbacks that look like they should be used when knights collide with foot soldiers. Here are the names of these files.

Placeholder_SlashLR_Fatality_Attacker.CAS
Placeholder_SlashLR_Fatality_Attacker.EVT
Placeholder_SlashLR_Fatality_Deffender.CAS
Placeholder_SlashLR_Fatality_Deffender.EVT

Swd_R_back_mid_kdown_knockdown.CAS
Swd_R_back_mid_kdown_knockdown.EVT

Swd_R_fwrd_mid_kdown_Knockdown.CAS
Swd_R_fwrd_mid_kdown_Knockdown.EVT

Swd_A_ct_mid_c_stab_v1_s0_fatal.CAS

Swd_A_ct_mid_c_stab_v1_vict.CAS

HERE ARE THE NEW ANIMATIONS!

[kaiser1993]

Do they work in game? I think it would be interesting to see if they are any good.

[warman222]

I have added them to the descr-skeleton of a mod I have......... AND THEY LOOK AWESOME!!!

Here is a video

[SigniferOne]

Yes I'm already working on all those, and implementing them in the next version of the animations pack.

[kaiser1993]

Wow, looks epic. But it seems strange that CA didnt use them.

[Taiji]

Awesome find, Warman222! Thanks for letting us know about these!! +rep

edit:

Did/can you list the files in the order shown in the vid? (It would be helpful)

[The Bruce]

Nice discovery!

[Heathen Storm]

Yeah, Warman this looks great. I'm gunna have to give you some rep

[Taiji]

Stuck these in my mod for DLV. They're pretty cool and it was fun to do.

But... I have to say that the hacking downed opponent one is bugged in that the foot does not connect with the victim for the kick. It's always about 10 or more inches away.

The stab and kick one is great until the last movement, which is weird but somehow cool. It's like 'the opponent is already dead, so why spin around attacking where he was?' But then it's like 'hey wow! cool, he staggered every enemy around him with that spin around move!!! like wt*?! cool.'. So on balance I think it's a great move, plus it tends to force the unit using it to penetrate the enemy formation, nice mechanic. Very interesting animation.

The 2h sword fatality is good enough but strangely bugged. The left hand is not in contact with the sword at some moments where it's obvious it should be.

Anyway these animations are OK by my standards. They could be better with a little adjustment, but they're good enough. Makes me more interested in learning animations all of a sudden. A little adjustment here and there would make a great many new animations usable. Like the axehalberd slashes, they look nice but some weird visor looking bug protrudes out of the faces of the model when I tried some.

Thanks again for letting us know about these fatalities, Warman222

I edited the multi-slash animation, and removed the finishing spin move as cheesy. I haven't added the back-hack combo yet, but it's on my list of things. As I'm going through these I am polishing the crapola out of them, as I polished the existing animations as well.

[Taiji]

This 'polish' sounds very intriguing, SO. Looking forward to checking out your work

[warman222]

I have found another fatalty, it is the third kill in this video.

[AnthoniusII]

What is the entry of these animations in the desc_skeleton.text?
And what we must write in the mbdb?

[Taiji]

I have found another fatalty, it is the third kill in this video.

Nice fatality! Please tell us the filename for this one

[warman222]

The names are the following....

2H_Sword_SlashRL_def.cas
2H_Sword_SlashRL_fat.cas

[Taiji]

Thankyou very much, Warman222

[Kamakai]

How do you add these to the game? Putting them into TATW would be great!

[The Bruce]

Putting them into TATW would be great!

See Here

[Kamakai]

I've tried to add them but when I try to add them to the TATW folder a WinRAR: Diagnostics message comes saying cannot create folder data\animations\Placeholder_SlashLR_Fatality_Attacker.CAS etc and the system cannot find the specified path.
Help?

[Taiji]

Did you move it to that folder?
