I've come across something really strange when working on COTS.
I extracted some excellent head ani's from the Blue Planet mod/campaign. In BP, they were used to replace the standard set of Command heads. I jsut wanted extras. So I re-named them appropriately (head-cm6, a, b & c ; head-cm7a, b and c, etc..)
I noticed the following problems:
- They don't show up in the dropdown list in FRED (I assumed FRED looks up for a proper name and loads it), you have to use browse to select them
- They don't show up in game (tried in the few of the latest builds, including Chiefs')
-
Can a code-wizzard comment on this? Is it supposed to work like this? Is there a hardcoded limit for 5 command head anis?
-
I'm guessing you have to edit the messages.tbl
-
Still doesn't explain why ani's imported with the browse function don't show up.
-
Yello? Can someone please help me understand this?
And Snail, messages.tbl is only for personas, not for the avis'.
EDIT: Got it to work.
Apparently, altough I have Head-Cm7 a,b and c files, like all command heads do, when I hit briwse I can't select and import them. I have to remove the a/b/c part. FS picks one automaticely.

That would explain a lot.
