PvP Animation replacement/enhancement pack

[Inkompetent 0]

Awesome with climbing of tall fences! One request though: Slow it down. A LOT. That speed looks like someone carrying maybe a combat vest and rifle, which I guess is okay for some units in ArmA. But since most carry much more gear than that (up to 30kg, which is a significant different in load % of body weight) I think it'd be fair if that climb animation took twice as long time.

After all it is more about the possibility to move over another kind of obstacle, giving more possible routes of maneuver, than it is about performing parkour :)

[smookie 11]

No worries mate, tweaking speeds is the last thing I do in the project ;) It's kinda finishing touch thingy. I am more concerned about the animation quality which should be at least fair :P

And there goes another movement pallete. Beat that! :P

Now *that* is impressive! A proper peek-around-corners and wall-hugging! Brings sneaking and general carefulness to another level :)

Edit: I must say that with all these new animations ArmA2 might start to approach the level of character-control envisioned in Sky Gods/Ground Branch, and that is quite a feat!

Looking nice, but WOW that was one HELL of a throw into the window at the end there... Might wanna tweak the power there :)

Dunno how...

Could probably be done with a fired-eventhandler that alters the speed of the grenade as it is thrown, but for best compatability that would mean relying on the CBA addon's Extended EventHandlers (or XEH for short) since the default A2/OA eventhandlers don't 'stack' between addons.

Would require very little code to be in effect though, assuming that catching the animation-state (or some other method of identifying the over-head throw) works well.

[froggyluv 2130]

Have you decided to forgo the "hit" reaction animation due to scripting?

Is it possible to create a calibrated vertical rise/lower aka R6, with maybe Turbo + mouse wheel? (dreaming I know)

Wall hug looks great. I dont know how you make these look so smoothe and seemless but its pretty much my favorite mod out there.

[Deathstruck 375]

Are you the same Smookie from the Silent War Mod?

I remember you guys relasing an unfinished OFP pack on ofp.bmj.pl which also included crapload of moves such as sniper sit, covering and multiple death animations. :D

The same...

[wipman 1]

Hi, will be possible to change the side arm/handgun animation so the character holds his wirst with the left hand, in the same way that they hold an AR foregrip?; i think that that will improve a bit the look of the handgun animation. Let's C ya

[smookie 11]

It is possible, yes. But whether I will do it soon is a whole other question :).

[smookie 11]

Small update: I have managed to fix most of the issues regarding quick pistol stance, as well as collision shapes so you can expect the release soon enough. I also added a possibility shoot through the window and overhead blindfire for back to wall position. For now, only crouch and right hand side is available.

<3 which is a short way to say good job :)

This is pre-release changelog post so that you can have an insight into controls and what's changed and if you want something hotfixed let me know.

There will be two missions added into the main release as a part of the mod (mainly composed so that you can actually test out ALL moves playing each of them... and featuring my awesome voice acting skills lol). Don't play if you dont want to though :)
