How to change the infantry running animation to marching animation?

**p.jakub88** · December 21, 2010, 12:59 PM

Hello everyone,

The question is: which file i need to delete or replace, to make the infantry running activity looks like normal infantry marching?

I think, that i found a proper *.pack file called "anim.pack" located in my Empire: Total War data folder.

Fortunately, i resolved the problems with movement smoothness and movement speed in land battles (by editing the battle_entities table).

I have made the infantry running almost as fast as marching, but without proper animation this looks stupid and unrealistic.

I tried to make running speed the same as marching, but this caused a few bugs.

So, disabling the running animation from infantry units will be a good start.

Any help will be appreciated!

look in those fragment.txt files, there are the paths for the anims stored.
Simply swap the marching animation with the running animation.

I found lots of *.anim files inside anim.pack (i' m using Pack File Manager 1.13 beta).

Which particular *.anim files i need to replace?

Sorry for bothering you but i don't want to break my game.

Maybe safer will be making a new mod instead of changing vanilla pack?

Let's say, that i would like all infantry in Empire: Total War to perform marching instead of running.

Which directories inside anim.pack i will need to find?

Thanks in advance!
