Naval animations for land officers

**Dionysius the Mighty** · March 31, 2011, 06:14 AM

I much prefer the way the officers stand in the naval battles to the land officers, who seem rather too hunched over! Is there any way to have the officers in land battles use the animation set of the naval officers, and if so, how would I go about assigning the required animations?

This is already in, in mods like the american revolution mod

I'll check it out, but I really need to know how to make the change myself as I've made my own personal modification and I don't really want to have to install another major mod just to change some animations! XD

do you have db editor??

I do, but I actually found someone who had created a specific mini mod containing only naval officer animations for the land officers, so I downloaded that. Thanks for the help anyway!

Actually, time to dig this thread up again because I have another question.

I have given European cavalry units pistols, using the 'personality_officer' animation. I also made cavalry units able to dismount. However, since I made the changes to the officer animations, I realised that this also affects any dismounted cavalry, and while it seems fairly appropriate for the members of a General's Bodyguard unit to be standing to attention, looking through telescopes and pointing at the enemy, it looks kind of stupid when a whole Regiment of Horse is doing it! I was wondering if there is any other form of pistol animation out there that would return ordinary cavalry to their usual state, while still allowing my officers to behave like proper officers!

in Additional units mod 3.2 is a sword_pistol animation included
you could download it (if you dont have done this already) , place it into your data directory but without activating it. then you look for the bukkaneers in DBEditor and give their anim to the cavalry unit. oh wait!! i told nonsense!!!

you cant give this anim to cavalry units, because the units will stand on their horses...
excuse me please if i confused you...

but if you need a pistol anim for inf units the aum is useful
