Thread: Axe animations

  1. #1

    Default Axe animations

    Hey, does anyone know if there are any plans to implement new animations for axes? I find it so immersion breaking to see someone stab an axe head through the chest of someone else...

    I agree, I hope there are plans for that.

    I don't think there will be until an expansion (if we see a BI expansion) but there are mods available that remove the stabbing animations from axes.

    I think you are out of luck. I read in some interview a year ago or so that they could only fit in a limited number of animations into.. the... eh... code? I seriously dont understand why. But if that is the case, they will have to remove some before they can add axe animations

    They couldn't add more relevant animations because they had to add pointless fluff like facial animations, priorities...

    In R2TR, our animation sets limit the axe animations to only non-stabbing ones. I believe more animations can be added (look at the star wars mod with stormtrooper animations, and medieval mod with trebuchet animations), but then we'd need somebody to come and animate them for us!

    It can be added, But CA wont since they need to make new ones in the motion capture studio and that cost money. Modders can always make animations and add them if they want.

    Has anyone got a link to a mod that limits it to non-stabby animations? I've been searching but I can't find it

    Good news? I found it for you.

    Bad news... It's a submod for Divide Et Impera. You can find it here;
