I mean the "nodding heads" that show up during missions.

I looked around freespacemods and searched the forum, but I couldn't find any.

Blue Planet had a bunch, converted from Supreme Commander. They're pretty good, although their style is more BP-esque than normal FS2-esque.

[MatthTheGeek]

Renegate Resurgence has one too.

[Mongoose]

As did Just Another Day, although I don't think that one is universally applicable.

[MatthTheGeek]

There are a few shivan head ani's in Tides of Darkness IIRC.

[Dragon]

JAD one is not animated, but should do for some minor role (civilian commander or somebody like that).

[TopAce]

ASW has one, too. It's okay for an alternate static.

[Dragon]

And WCS uses a lot, TBP also have a load of anis, but I doubt they will allow you to use them.
Zatharas, on the other hand, shouldn't be that restrictive about their assets (and they have a plenty of custom anis in TBP style).

[TopAce]

Why wouldn't they allow him to use their head anis?

[Thaeris]

There's a tool for making those things somewhere... though I doubt it would work on my OS.

Because TBP team does not allow TBP assets to be used in other mods.
I don't like that policy, but they are keeping it for some reason. (most of their assets are crap anyway, so it's rarely a problem)

anibuilder.
You'll also need the correct color pallete for the image editing program you might be using and save the .pcx files to something_0000 in indexed mode (with the correct color pallete). It aint that much fun to do.

[General Battuta]

Rian found a program that will number the .pcx files in order, saving you the hassle of having to do it by hand.

Bulk rename can do that.
It just isn't always an option for making custom .ani's (Well for most people it will be)

There's just one hitch though: the command anis aren't really theirs. They're just video taken from the show.

Also I think it only applies to IPAndrews' material due to his little outburst.

Well if that's the case I don't want them anyway. I was just looking for the option of a bit more variety when making campaigns, but having B5 characters ordering you around in the FS2 universe seems rather silly.

I will have a look at the other ones you mentioned (and ask the creators for permission to use them of course).

[TopAce]

The Renegade Resurge one is made by Max Sterling. He's a member here but he isn't around anymore. However, if he uses the email address he registered with, he'll receive PM notification.

That one took me by surprise. I remember playing RR and suddenly I see a dude in a 21st century room with a little headset mouthing gibberish and raising an eyebrow for the last second.

God I wanna download RR again just for that. Now where's that download...

[TopAce]

I hope that's not the only thing that makes you want to replay the campaign.

By the way, there's a screenshot with it at the ModDB.

[Cobra]

Nah. I never beat it the first time around.
