Who's Headz (ani's) are these?
on: January 19, 2014, 10:50:05 am
The campaign I'm working on, Shadow Rising, has a number of capship captains for major characters. However, the retail command head.ani's don't seem to do justice to a brilliant young SOC commander, a calm and calculating strategist, an arrogant and aggressive Grand Admiral, or a war-weary President Petrarch.

However, there's a certain very cool set of head.ani's that I'd like to use. So far I've seen them in Blue Planet and Blaise Russel's Sol: A History. Among other heads, they include a young commander with a big microphone (Orestes Control/EA Command) and a determined looking female officer (Admiral Lopez, USD Constant).

In order to use these heads, I need to know who made them so as to give proper credits. Does anyone know where these head.ani's originated?

I know I've recognized some of Blue Planet's Head ANIs from Supreme Commander, but Orestes Control was not one of the ones I so recognized.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

No, those were probably pre-BW ones, they had a very distinctive style. IIRC, they were all from SupCom. S:AH definitely didn't use any BW head anis, being from before the time they were released. Even in BP, if BW's anis are used in BP1, they were added recently.

If you need more head anis, these Starlancer anis: http://www.mediafire.com/download/tqlxpcqa86bvgsu/StarlancerHeads.7z (converted by IronBeer) are underused. They're a bit dark, though.
"We have now reached the point where every goon with a grievance, every bitter bigot, merely has to place the prefix, 'I know this is not politically correct, but...' in front of the usual string of insults in order to be not just safe from criticism, but actually a card, a lad, even a hero. Conversely, to talk about poverty and inequality, to draw attention to the reality that discrimination and injustice are still facts of life, is to commit the sin of political correctness. Anti-PC has become the latest cover for creeps. It is a godsend for every curmudgeon and crank, from fascists to the merely smug."

It's not finding heads that's the problem- I can yank the ones I need out of S:AH if need be. I just want to know who to give credit to.

You know, pics would help identification immensely. Just a passing thought.

Lopez is Head-CM5 in my copy of BP 2-15, so that's by [V]. Orestes control (according to my copy of BP 1-1) is their head-CM11, which is a Supreme Commander one. Their own credits just say that they come from Supreme Commander, so credit Supreme Commander (or if you want to be really anal about it, SC via the BP team) and you'll be fine.

Oh, I know why you say S:AH now.
You must have ShadowGorrath's (now rather-old) S:AH upgrade pack he did a while back which spliced in some headanis/textures/effects and whatnot to make it prettier.

Ya, that's the one.
Ok, so I'll say "head.ani files from Supreme Commander", unless the maker of the heads steps forward to claim credit.
