Would also love to see archers and javelins attack ranged animation base on distance.

I mean, for have rain of arrows in case we have tons of archers far from target.

Well @Freagarach attack zone command could maybe use a special animation

Attack zone just like onagers do in AoE 2? that  could be the rain of arrows im talking about.

Archers have a more straight pose while aiming forward, Javelinist same.

Yes that would be https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1838 if memory serves.

Maybe also add what @Angen have in his mod. 

Split ranged attack animations per state, Idle > Prepare > Aim > Loose > Reload > Idle

This way maybe long range attack archers can be interrupted

 

@Stan` also i edited archers animations to use Bow bone instead of Weapon L. Wich proper rotation, bow was wrongly placed before.

You'll have to convince @bb_ or @wraitii to commit that ^^"

Thats why its better to work with the assets in blender :

I wonder if you shouldn't tilt the body a bit more to give it more energy. Some (exagerrated examples)

[Alexandermb]

Mine should be 3rd, Tilted version should be the 2nd:

Can also do the "Cretan Archer"  and a 2nd animation for formations like this:

Sounds cool. That's starting to make quite a few animations ! Btw the new unit blend file is complete ? With fishing animation and other special ones ?

Nope, fishing is in another scene, siege included and formations. In fact due the amount of actions file went to 110mb (Or maybe its a blender bug to increase file size?)

Did you tick the compress option ?

Different scene, but same file right ?

Can anyone reexport them like you did ?

[Alexandermb]

Different file by scene i meant it need a setup with physic's. In fact i imported the action to blender and re-exported the action with the proper armature and mesh. so i didn't touched the fisherman file.

 

[Alexandermb]

Theres a trick i know. When the file is getting Extremly big, Append everything from the file to a new blend file. It will reduce the size by A LOT.

Animation main file went from 40mb to 11mb the first time i've did that, but eventually it returns to the same size because of the animations.

I use append to make small blend file libraries with only actions  

Good job btw can't wait to be rid of it.

That looks nice! Would it be possible for archers to switch animations? E.g. use:

• 45° angle when attacking targets at >50% of max range
• horizontal when attacking targets at <50% of max range

I'll try to run chekrefs on the git mod to see if things are missing.
