Title: Shivan headanis?
Post by: Legate Damar on May 10, 2012, 05:14:45 am
Has anyone ever made any, and if not, how would one go about making them?

Chech out Shivans! mod, or Tides of Darkness. There were Shivan head anis somewhere there, though not actually animated (still good though).

I don't think that any have been made, buuut perhaps you can give Mjn.Mixael's Render Boutique (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=221.0) a try. Who knows, phrase your request well enough and he might make some for you! Just be sure to read the rules here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=74629.0).

EDIT: Partially ninja'd.

Okay, I have gotten to the part in my mod where I am experimenting with the headanis (thank you for telling me about those mods, I found the anis there), however I am experiencing some odd behavior. I edited the messages.tbl to reference the various anis I wanted for the standard persona messages, but in mission the only anis that appear are the ones that I selected in FRED for messages written in the event editor, the random wingman messages (killed an enemy, more enemies arriving, accepting orders, etc.) don't have headanis.

This isn't necessarily a game breaker, in fact I might keep it this way since it's less crowded, but I would like to know why they aren't showing up.

But I only have 3 anis I want to use for wingmen and I want each persona to only use one

its called copy and paste and renaming.
but you knew that too.

or you would if you just took a look at DE's HUD folder (and ignored all of the EFF headanis which I spent HOURS making but DON'T WORK because someone LIED to me about HUD PNG Support!!!!!)

So I have to make a bunch of copies of the same file? That seems wasteful, but okay.
