i little problem with elephants

[attyla]

Welcome again
I've made mercenary elephants using elephants present in the game, but i have two problems with them:
1. archers behawing like handgunners,
2. during the battle i can hear gun fire instead sound of using bows.
How to fix it?
For first i guess it's a matter of used animation. Thi is entry in my mod:

1
8 Elephant
18 MTW2_Elephant_Crew 0
1
19 MTW2_Bowman_Primary 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0

I suppose, i should change MTW2_Elephant_Crew for something else. Is there something i can use in mod? Where are MTW2_Elephant_Crew and another animation file?

Yeah it's an old issue i posted the solution somewhere here couple of months ago, it's a long post mate you have to search it.

[attyla]

i used mtw2_fast_bowman entry and it's OK exept karnak who's staing on elephants neck
s i think it is a matter of this magic word What it means and where can i find it? Is there a possibility to make karnak seated on elephants neck?

[Ishan]

Found it.

thanks Ishan, but i think it is not a matter of entry in dsus file. As i sad - i've used mtw2_fast_bowman entry and i have properly bowman and sound of using bows
the last problem is karnacks are not seating on elephants necks - and i think it's definetly animations matter

Where a rider is placed on a mount is a mount matter, not sounds or animations. You'll find rider_offset in descr_mount.

[attyla]

this are my etries :

riders 3
rider_offset 0.05, 1.35, 1.37
rider_offset -0.3, 1.22, 0.4 ;y was 1.54
rider_offset 0.3, 1.22, -.35 ;y was 1.54

it's copied from elephant entry.
What should i change to seat mahout?
How should i change it to add one more rider (i've changed 3 for 4 in riders line, but i think the game need to change rider_offset because after this changing the game crasches)?
