(Model Request) Spearman-Ranged

[Steel0RaZoR]

Requesting for a model based on a footman like this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/spearman-151537/?prev=search=spearman&d=list&r=20
But i want it ranged, throwing spear on enemies...

 

[gabriono]

You can try to make the unit ranged, change the missile art and Projectile Launch

 

[InfernalTater]

So, basically, what you ACTUALLY want to be done is to change the bandit spearthrower to look like the footman. Or, you can simply swap the animations.

i want to change the animations of the spearman with the bandit spear thrower.

 

[InfernalTater]

Then download war3 animation transfer, it takes 5 seconds to swap anims.

I used Oinkerwinkle's Animation transferer, but i can't open a model...

 

[-Grendel]

save it as .mdl first so anim transfer can open it

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

i transfered the bandit spearthrower's animations to the spearman and it looked like this...



how can i fix this?

 

[Adiktuz]

reverse the spear using Magos (I think you can do it there)... but that would affect the model permanently...

btw, you guys have a link for the anim transfer?

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

I don't know how to edit models....
Here's the link: http://www.oinkerwinkle.com/tools/download.html

 

[Adiktuz]

me too... tried rotating the spear but it looks weird as I cannot seem to pick only the spear...

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

haha

Regarding the messy animation transfer you experience, I can explain that to you.

The Bandit Spearthrower (or normal Bandit) have a inverted bone name, which means the 'Left' bone is suppose to be the 'Right' bone (example : Bone_Leg1_R is actually Bone_Leg1_L).

You have to rename all the bones in the Bandit model's arms and legs before you transfer any animation from it to MY model. However, you should have notice TWO things;
1) the Bandit is Right-Handed while the Footman is Left-Handed.
2) If you compare the bones of both models, each have one 'Hand Bone' missing opposite each other.

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

I don't know how to do that...

Here is the Spearmen model with ranged animation and a fixed spear so its not backwards.

Thank you but would you please fix the legs, they are too close at each other.

[LadyMalwil]

this footman dont throw his spear! it was really bugged...
have you see it in a viewner?... Failed footman thrower... omg...

can some1 make a full working Footman Spear Thrower?... Thanks!!!

 

[Wandering Soul]

Spear-Thrower in progress.

I'm working on it, since there's a demand for it.
It will take me a few days to complete it.

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

yay!

 

[LadyMalwil]

we wainting for it.

 

[Wandering Soul]

TWO Choices...

Okey, Here's the thing...

I already finish making a Spear-Throwing Footman.
And now I'm currently reworking my previous work ( http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/spearman-151537/?prev=search=spearman&d=list&r=20 ) to be able to switch between melee (Spearman) and range (Spear-Thrower).

And here's TWO choice you can make;
1) You can take the Spear-Throwing Footman now, OR...
2) You can wait for the interchangeable Spearman/Spear-Thrower model to be finish.

I'll be waiting for your answer(s)...

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

How does the 2nd model changes to range?

 

[Wandering Soul]

I have a Few Option;

1) I create some 'Morph' animations with the model flings his spear up in the air and grabs it to Spear-Throwing stance.

2) I create some 'Morph' animation with the model raise his left hand up, spins the spear and grabs it to Spear-Throwing stance (almost similar to Dryad's 'Stand 4' animation).

3) I create some 'Morph' animation with the model throwing away the spear in hand and grabs a new one from his back to Spear-Throwing stance.

4) I don't make any 'Morph' animation.

 

[Wandering Soul]

Problem Occur!

A Problem occur on the interchangeable 'Spearman/Spear-Thrower' Model!

During a test-run of the model on a map, the alternate 'Decay Flesh' animation for the spear-throwing set has shown a problem.
So I plan to ditch the hybrid model for now and upload the Spear-Throwing Footman.

Here is the link: ( http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/spearthrower-197530/?prev=status=p&u=Wandering%20Soul ).

NOTE : It's still pending, but my guess is it will be rejected by moderators for the lack of editing.

@wanderingsoul: do you mind, if i help you retexture the model, and making the 'footman' height fit?
Cuz now he looks odd in some way

 

[Wandering Soul]

Most of the animation the model use are based from the original Footman, so I don't really understand what you meant when you wrote "making the Footman height fit"...

But you or anyone are free to re-texture the model as you please.

 

[rysnt11]

Okay..

 

[Adiktuz]

I don't see a problem with the height... and I think those suggestions are better posted on the model thread rather than here...
