==[Siege Engine]== Cheiroballista

[Alexandermb]

@wowgetoffyourcellphone i only imagine that this would be used in your mod so no point to post it in another space.

Progress with Cheiroballista:

Spoiler

Only a few details to be done. Plus animating both weapon and Operator.

Would be nice to add a few props like this

 

 

 

Great work btw. Those added spikes could even be an upgrade.

Trigger is done Cheiroballista 99% done, two animations done. Only need to animate the operator and bake legio plaque:

Done also a simple death animation for not having it idle like other siege engines.

looks good for tech icon.

In-Game:

Small enough to fit in a wall tower:

@wowgetoffyourcellphone @Stan` what would be the best animation: 

A: Infantry carrying the weapon on his shoulder right hand and left hand carrying the base + basket with arrows in the back.
B: Classic mule or chariot.

[Lion.Kanzen]

B with thwt size.

[Alexandermb]

@Stan` upgrade afther the upgrade you mentioned:

Spoiler

I guess B I'm not sure they could carry it around by themselves even if they were two.

I wonder if the game supports packing animations.

Btw the texture looks a bit too saturated you might want to bring it down a notch.

This is the reference:

Will desaturated a lil bit:

Progress on operator animation, i hope this would work for a reworked Scorpio mesh.

In-Game: It takes some time to reload but it kills in two shots an elite infantry athenian spearman. 1st shot 80% hp 2nd shot: Death.

Objective: Slow Bolt shooter compared to scorpio but faster projectile speed and piercieng strong agains't infantry good for use it in mass agaisn't armies.

In other words, slower in attack time but stronger in piercieng damage. Elite version of the scorpio.

ERROR: Failed to find matching prop point called "crest_transversal" in model "art/meshes/props/helmet/rome_gallic_type_h_01.dae" for actor "rome_gallic_type_h_cent_transversal"

Ignore the gallic files, is just a backup before adding the transversal crest, and keep the 1024 textures. just copy the helmets that aren't included in public repository.
