This is, as far as I know, the VERY FIRST working rf rpg animated actor!http://www.filefront.com/14588589/knight1.zip/ .

Works wonderfully in Equity, not sure about Rf yet, haven't tried it.The animations are what rpger's expect---bow shooting, mace swinging, sword swinging, etc.

Comes from a freeware pseudo-rpg mod for Half-Life....the very first time i've gotten a half-life model that works right in equity.


Equity is a GREAT TOOL.

I don't think it's the first. Jay is making an RPG, plus there's skullcrack.

Anyway I'll have a look if I have time.

You need to use the smd fix and fix some of those motions (run & crouch motons etc.) for it to work properly in RF.

I used virgil as a base actor and then changed the textures, gave them clothes, swords etc. (I used the universal human package) - so basically, i just did the accesoires and edited the textures. Virgil is a nice actor for this because there are so many premade animations. And you just have to use its skeleton and build your thinghs around it.

A tip for making chain mail: In milkshape, use virgil, and copy the torso. Then use FatBoy with something like 0.1 and you have a layer of cloth over him. Then use a tga und you can make a chainmail over the normal clothing.
You can also use this to make gloves, trousers and shoes (with hands, legs and feet). I tend to export armor as a seperate actor so i can give the characters the needed armor on demand and don't have to have more and more actors.

i'm trying the world of warcraft method, i.e. one model with a crapload of different textures.....such as....you make 1 axe, and have 10 different textures to represent different versions of an axe...etc.Will let ya know how this works( oh, and that file above works great for me in rf....)
