Villager Cavalier Weaponless (Mike)

"Holy **** this request was filled way too late."

While this model works well with a weapon and helmet attachment, I advise against applying a chest or shield attachment as it is known to cause some clipping errors that I can't fix without cheapening the model to an un-approvable degree.

Changes
-Removed spear
-Straightened reins arm
-New shirt to match the horse (Credit to Mike)
-Attached hand
-Fixed head attachment point (looks good with great-helm)
-Adjusted hand attachment point so weapons don't look like they're glued on
-Added Spear Using Model
-Turned spell looping off

Nice model but you should remove his weapon(weapon can be replaced by anything weapon sword,mace,etc...) and give chaos warlord attack animation,and villager can wear armors ?that's could be nice .I'll give 3/5 .

Ask politely, don't demand. Also don't give ratings based on what you would like or how useful it is to you, but base it on the quality of the model.

Spiffing, Absolutely Spiffing.
Though I may agree on the removal of the "Spear" maybe some people want to put their Pimped spear or Halberd, No Clue really, I'm not in my right mind now to actually post anything remotely that could encourage well being.
I think i'll come later when i'm.. ye know..

EDIT: I just realised he has both DECAY and DISSY animations, I lack words so I will just say "Good Jobly Done".

I think there is such horseman somewhere, but I can't seem to find it, not sure who made it, but I think you can get it in italian warz map. That one has sword and overall chaos warlord animation, not sure about armor attachments though.

I'll remove the spear, still learning how the 'rpg' models work.

While I can't transfer single-animations, I'll give it my best attempt at a reproduction of a less stabby attack. What should I call it though to prevent awkward animations?

Many thanks for taking the time to tell me this stuff, good sir.



I changed it. If you want, i will send it to you. You may not give credits to me and ask my permission.

I'll gladly accept any help you good folk are willing to lend. While it is kind of you to not request credit for your changes, credit to you is due for lending aid where needed.

+rep for hasty and good work.

Well well.. this is a bit confusing (The Image and the Model Viewer shows the unupdated one) but anyway I've tested the model in the Model Editor (not hives) and his hand seems to be fractured when he attacks, also I think his other arm (left) should be placed in such a way to allow "Shield" attachments, I don't know if it's possible maybe have the attachments be on the back of his hand/arm so that he may still be able to grab the horse leash.
Like this:

Also I disagree, the "stabbing" animation works fine for swords and and spears alike.

I am having a supreme amount of trouble trying to fix the hand that grasps the spear/pole-arm, in my attempts to solve the mind-pulverizing problem of a twisted attachment point, I have only succeeded in making the arm look like a sausage when the villager strikes and as I myself don't grasp how attachments work nor do I have a reference, I need help fixing this model.

Until then, I advise any and all who read this 'not' to download it until this is resolved, in which case this message will be deleted and the model's description updated to reflect the names of those who helped fix it.

Current one with the spear attached back would be lovely. Thank you! :)

edit: Thanks! Great model, works flawlessly in-game. 5/5

Very unique! Literally the only mounted unit I can find that uses a spear. Quality animations as well. I personally wish he was a bit more well-armored, but that's a matter of taste, and can probably be somewhat circumvented using added armour models.
