Any other mirrors are welcomed

...................

Other or older DMA anim packs always available from this thread.

Be sure to check the most recent pistol animation replacement pack too.

In any case, refer to my signature for all the latests releases.

Oh, and remember to give a look into the content of the .rar archive, as i included several "goodies" for you to customise a bit the Anim.pbo to your liking.

--------------------

As usual, inside this pack i provide a backbone animation file, updated to the changes in the "nextGen" pack files, so animators can modify it to create their own pack.

But to be totally OK with DMA, -real work- must be done by an animator, not just a "i move the right arm 1/2 pixel left and i release the animation pack".

-------------------------

Usage of this pack is granted to anyone wanting to use it for anything, no need of asking permission.

->> As long as this "anyone" will not sell it trying to be the first guy becoming a millionaire by selling a file that is available for free everywhere.

Credits to DMA is appreciated in any case.

Have a pleasant OFP experience,

Sanctuary

Hehe, it's amusing very time I read `No further update on this pack will be done for "lack of time and interest in it"` in some of your threads and then all of a sudden, improved versions pop up. Thanks a lot, mate, much appreciated update.

According the Spanish Inquisition rulebook, none should expect the DMA works.

Yes, i hate when i do that and re-install again OFPAnim

I even think my fingers have a life of their own sometime, as i always end totally frustrated and angry with the OFPAnim limitations when i finish an animation pack, i wonder why i continue into that hell.

The answer is certainly the fact my fingers do not obey and have a life of their own.

looks good i havent tried it but i will.

I personally prefer the other anim pack since it looks more realistic becuase the soldiers have a much more sturdy looking stance but im still going to try this looking very good.

thx for you work.

i have a little problem in very scarped hills, sometimes the squad get stuck and begin to stand up and down and don't move, i use the patrol animation , but i don't know if this happens for the animations or not

great work , this animations looks real like the life itself

[456820 0]

Just had a quick play with these anims and there great

Lovely work

just one little thing i think the transitions between the anims are far too fast but thats not really a big problem Great work

I'm pretty sure this is a normal fault with the game and has nothing to do with any animations. Why don't you switch back your original anims.pbo and check to see if the problem still occurs. But like i said, i think you'll find it's the same result. On very steep increments the AI can be a bit dumb, as i found this out on Catshit Afghanistan.

@456820;  I also noticed this but i'm assuming sanctuary has done this so as to not hinder the player or AI soldier in the heat of battle. The last thing i would want is a slow "standing to prone" animation when the bullets start to fly in my direction. But maybe i'm wrong....The reload animation however does seem a tad too fast.

yes, i switched back to the original animations and the problem persist , the only way i think to avoid this is to order the squad to go prone and then advance , it has nothing to do with sanctuary animations as i expected , so i prefer sanctuary ones by far

Yes, Mr Reality is right, it is a fault of the game.

A bit like the problem that can occur when an AI squad disembark from a boat on a beach, sometime (it is rare, but it happens), the whole AI squad will move forward, move backward, move forward, move backward, etc.., etc... for more than 5 minutes before really going to the next waypoint it was supposed to go.

Let's hope those AI problems will be fixed in ArmA.

The speeds of the animations are unfortunately set in the main config, i can't really do anything about this.

Try it with BIS default anims, you will see the exact same "too fast" anims.

And modifying the main config speed settings is not really in the spirit of this animation pack, as it would prevent its usage on multiplayer, and for mods having already their own config.

You can toy around with those speed if you know how to edit a config, search for the speed=.... lines in each animation classes definition, by changing this line, you can control the animation and makes it playing at a better speed.

An example , the stand to crouch animation is defined by this in the BIS config

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> class CombatToCrouch:Default

{

preload=1;

actions="CrouchActions";

file="sstanidoklek.rtm";

speed=-0.4;

looped=0;

soundEnabled=0;

enableOptics=0;

connectFrom[]={"Combat",0.5};

connectTo[]={"Crouch",0.5};

interpolateTo[]={"CrouchDying",0.1};

};

By modifying the line speed=-0.4; and changing the -0.4 to , by example -0.8 , it would play slower.

Some modification, like WGLZ (modification of WGL 4 from the Zeus squad) and the upcoming WGL5 has modified values for those animation speed settings in their config.

And thanks to that, the animations plays a bit better visually.

thanks to all for the kind words.

Short question; What is the name of the Run animation? (not sprint)
