===[COMMITTED]=== Siege Weapons Infantry Animations

[Alexandermb]

If the catapult will have wheels i can make the walk animation similar to the shoushe so it won't be needed a packed/unpacked versión or horses but for realism purposes it will need be very slow.

its catapulting by magic right now. Twisted ropes generate the torsion that makes the catapult... catapult things. you mapped the bar that was supposed to be twisted rope, wood.

What ?

 

The "girder" of the center needs ropes, right? There's also a black circle that shouldn't be there.

Romans did not put onagers on wheels as far as I know. Better to just do the same as all the other catapults and keep it stationary.

LordGood is right. These are torsion engines. Torsion more or less means "twisty power."

Okay I'll fix the texture this week and commit this as a whole.

[Alexandermb]

i've never tried the "spawn entity on death" before so if it Works as i think maybe the catapult could use the same lifecycle of the slaves on delenda Est dying slowly but if its possible it could spawn an empty onager maybe weathered or damaged for upgrade as a new one something like a clean or recycle entity before death.

[Stan`]

@Alexandermb no strong opinion as long as it looks good

[Alexandermb]

forgot to wrote the function of it, if you make an stationary limited weapon then you will have X popularity consumption, so you have 2 choices A: leave the unit there useless or waiting for another victim or B: kill the unit with the controls. Doing what i thought  would be an automatic clean function.

@LordGood I fixed the texture, and added Alexander's animations. If you have no objections, I'd like to commit it.

@Alexandermb Your variant files were bugged so I added the anims inside the files directly and removed them. Basically things would get bad if you asked the onager to move. Also there was a lot of useless stuff in there. See a fixed file for example. Thanks for your work.

are the middle of the ropes weighted to the arm bone? If so then go for it

[Stan`]

@LordGood Yes ! I thought it made sense

Alright then, its okay but now i wonder if this is going to be implemented this will be implemented asap in alpha 23 for use?

[LordGood]

It's going to be Atlas only, if it gets an entity template. None of our current factions use Onagers in our time frame. Julius's onagers were bow driven things themselves, not torsion powered.

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

There's no use in updating the animations and actors if there is no entity template.

Torcer in spanish.

[Stan`]

You mean a packed version ? It already has an entity template.

Have these updated siege actors with animated crews been included in the svn version? If not, will they be added (eventually)?

They were Check it out. We are also one step away from having all the new meshes in the game

I need @Alexandermb's help on three more types 

> Camel cavalry

> Fishing boats for sitting fishers

> Fishing boats for the ptol Fisher.

Then we'll have the new units everywhere

Great! I was asking because this topic's title doesn't include your “===[COMMITED]===” tag

You mean camelry (cf. elephantry); cavalry implies the use of horses; “camel cavalry” is a contradiction in terminis. Other than that, I'm looking forward to it, a lot of great work has been done recently. Many thanks!

[Stan`]

Yeah camelry didn't know if that word made sense.

Ah yeah forgot thanks

Should be good now

[Lion.Kanzen]

Can be nice open a topic to civilian animation specially gathering.

[Stan`]

You're right I'm going to do so.
