Wow, if someone put these in a game Id have a very hard time killing them if its part of the game......
my map uses bear cub. i wanted to use it for a critter. and actually, some of the players control demons and those players are supposed to use their demons to kill the bear cub, or other critters in order to let their demon player ally get a new demon(like killing the blackened(ashen) trent in tree tag). i just saw this today and i suppose i should probably add the model to my map, since as was mentioned i was using a scaled down grizzly bear.
EDIT: you say it includes brown bear but i only see 2 files, there should be 4. it says polar bear, so where is the brown bear?
do we have to modify the model so it uses the brown bear skin? or is the model like some kind of tranformation model that has animations for both colors?
well, the readme is how i guessed. both files were same size, which was suspicious. the file that says it's a portrait mdx isn't a portrait mdx, it's the brown bear.
to quote it:
Make sure you change the file paths in the Import Manager as followed:
war3mapImported\PolarBearCub.mdx --> PolarBearCub.mdx
war3mapImported\PolarBearCub_Portrait.mdx --> BrownBearCub.mdx
ok i compared the units and there is some different marking in the fur but other than that they're pretty much the same as the regular bears. but all the animations are different. they're baby animations, i guess. which is interesting. since the baby bear in my demon hunt map just sit there at the middle of the map and don't do anything, this model is unnecessary. but if anyone has a need for a bear cub with bear cub animations, this is what they need!
oh, i didn't look at it in game, there may be more differences in game, but i kinda doubt it. at any rate i just noticed that the faces are different, but i guess i already knew that from the original screenshot.
yes, i just compared the polar bear versions and the differences are a lot more pronounced. maybe it's mostly the darkness of the fur on the brown bears.
i guess that's why i chose the brown bear model for my bear cub in my map because the difference is a lot less when looking at a small unit from afar. i guess if i wanted to i could add the white bear cub to my map, maybe i'll just add some for scenery purposes, so that they'll be unkillable. of course all critters in the map are unkillable by the good guys, anyways.
