Request for villager with custom animations

[Solu9]

Hey Hivers.

I am in need of a villager with custom animation. Before you say "there are already such models in the resource section" I want to emphasize that I have already looked through the selection, but none of them satisfies my needs unfortunately

What I need is some animations with different tags so I can change the animations ingame based on what items the villager is using.

Here they are:

Dual wield - Here the dual wield animations from the Beastmaster would fit just great because there is no stabbing involved. I will be using the dual wield tag for maces, axes and swords you see. (alternate)

Two-handed - Here the attack animations from the paladin will do just fine since the same as dual wield applies (maces, axes and swords will be used) and staffs. But the animations fits well with staffs as well. (channel)

One-handed - The animations from the neutral unit "Bandit" fits like a charm and would be the choice here. Footman can also be used but the right hand attack of the bandit is better. (normal)

Bow - Bow is pretty standard. The Dark Ranger attacks are just fine for this. (lumber)

Spell attack - Actually the Lich attack animation is the best. But the Skeletal Mage (undead special unit) attack animation is also ok. (gold)


I think that's about it. Of course "stand ready" animations and a "defend" tag for one-handed would be awesome. As well would slams, spell - slams and so on but they are not as critical as the ones above.

Anyway. I would appreciate this so much. It is the only thing I have no idea of doing myself.
Of course credits will be giving in a huge pink text at the loading screen

I know I can't expect anyone will do this but I hope you can, and will, help me out.

True true. As I said I have already looked through the selection.

The problem with the 255 animation villager is that is it quite big in filesize, especially since I can only use like 1/10 of the animations. Furthermore it is very confusing to use. I can see its use in a "movie" but I can't get it to work the way I want to.

And that is why I made this thread.

Since I have no idea about animations I just assumed my request would be a quick an easy job to do.

Edit:
To avoid any flaming whatsoever I would like to state that I like the 255 animation model. It just not seems to fill the needs I have.

Edit:
I should mention that I have actually tried to use the War3ModelEditor together with AnimTranfer03 to do it myself. It did not work out sadly.

It's a great model and I don't think anyone will make a less good version for your map (less filesize). Also it's not the smallest model but if you are only using 1 per player it's very smooth.

It indeed is a great model.
Though I would not call the model I am requesting for a "less good version". Just a simpler version which is used only for combat. I bet most people will not be using all of those animations in their map.

The model I am requesting is easy to manipulate and requires little time to do so. In my opinion it would be a good addition. Especially for rpgs where combat is the main priority.

However I have the feeling you are right.

Yeah I agree with you too I just don't think anyone will do it since a more "complete" version exists, people would rip off that model itself and model makers hate having their work be diminished lol

There's one with fewer animations:

Thanks. But again, been there

I've tried to add/remove some animations from the model, just to see if I could get it to work. But to no avail. That model is close to what I am requesting but just don't cut it completely.
