    Default Second waving flag project

    I am a member of ACW mod team. We are looking for modeller and who can edit animations to help us with our second waving flag project. I assure it will be good. I asked this to Hinkel,Primergy and Dennizjoon(ACW old mod team),and they said it is possible. Please help us and let's try this.

    Like a regiment flag? Waving like the normal national flag? Strange, i thought it was hardcoded.

    I am in that mod team and I am the owner of the idea. Our plan is giving skeleton animation to a static flag instead of hardcoded particle effect.We will have to choose hard way instead of the impossible one. I am trying to make a small animation myself,my idea looks like working but we need a experienced animation editor.

    Yeah, but it seems some people aren't that enthusiastic of this idea. @Izzi How's the ship modding faring?

    Well,whe are making a new rigid_naval_model converter, that converts directly to fbx (import/export). Because of the limitation of milkshape. I'm waiting for wangrin answer about a test i did. So lets wait and see.

    I thinck it's a good idea. Making a regiment flag, will be more historic accurate.

    well,we need one who can edit animations. Can you help us or find someone? I made a small experiment in ms3d and the flag looked like waving. It will most probably succeed in and I don't want this idea to go to trash.

    I'm not realy the guy you want. Because i'm not so good in animations (yet). Maybe Wangrin can help you. He has a lot of expierence in those things.I'm also quite busy with ship modeling for the ISIII mod. I wish i could help you. But i'm stil learning a lot of things.

    I don't thinck he will do it. If he alredy refused, then i thinck its not possible. But what about primergy? Is he not the one that was on the team of the ACW mod? He's a good modder.

    He already left modding ACW, I asked him. He refused it,too.

    Problem is that such "flag" would need a lot of work for a result that could be "weird".
    This is the reason why I consider that it's not worth to spend hours to modify animations and equipment.

    At least, I've begin to work on a small tutorial about creating/modifying animations using UU3D and MilkShape.
    But don't expect it to be release soon, I'm very busy, both Real Life and Modding.
    Sorry.

    If you have questions about its logic in your mind,battlefield 1942 uses the same technic,skeleton animation,for instance. But if you have questions about its hardness,yes,it is hard to apply it to a hundred of .anim file and to thousands frame. You are right about this. But It will most probably work,I made a small experiment,it worked. Plus,an experienced animation editor can do it. Lastly, we don't expect the same animation with the vanilla flag.
