    Default Archers not using there bow strings?

    Was playing the Agincourt battle and was watching my longbow men up close, because I love archers, anyway just now noticed they don’t use there bow strings and you can’t even see an arrow in the bow… wtf :hmmm:

    RTW you could, why not M2TW, is it just because it’s a demo? I’m still using the old demo that why? Is this how all the archers in the game are?

    Ask yourself this question, is it really that important? Are you going to spend most of your time watching the bowmen string their bows and release them or focus on seeing those arrows skewer people?

    well everything else is nicely detailed and real looking then you look at the archers pulling on air...

    and I offten look at my archers, like looking right over there heads watching where the arrows fall.

    No, bowmen in RTW did not pull their strings or even string their bow. In fact, there weren't any strings. I'm not sure about mods, but in vanilla RTW, it was just the bow and an animation similar to the one in M2TW.

    Yeah thats right but at least you could imagine lol

    Persian envoy: "Our archers are so numerous that the flight of their arrows darkens the sun."
    Leonidas: "So much the better, we shall fight them in the shade."

    well its all in the model
    if the bow is a static mesh {like sword spear} then wont be any moving aniations so their will be no pulling of strings andand copression of bow. i cant get my demo work so i dont know.
    but do the bows compress and dicompress in the aniation ??
    if yes then its sure the objet is dynamic hence we will defintely have string pulling animation in he future.
    if not then their wont be pulling aniation becasue the bow will be a static objet mesh then

    No, the bows don't flex...they are just part of the model.

    I am the one who opened up a thread like this a while ago, and till now i hope bowstrings will be fixed..because i too love looking at my archers fire their arrows and land on unfortunate people.

    Hmm don’t know what I was thinking of, RTW they just have sticks, I guess it’s the strings in M2TW’s bows that im not used to seeing.
