Hello everybody,
I wanted to reply in the Dungeon to a thread where barroca laid out somehow too info on Elephants and Chariots but I am unable to post there.
I do have several questions of a technical nature. I could really use some help from somebody who knows the technical side of the numbering of the positions relative to the bif pics.
I read the camera angles must be 0, 180, 60, 120 degrees. But, when I look at any of the horse mounts they appear to be on a camera angle looking down at the mount and not directly at it. So, that adds some confusion to my task.
So, I need to do the same relative angles and not just 0,180,60,120 to make it look good in MTW right? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
Next question: From reading the Post it sounds like I can just put the elephant & chariot anywhere in the bif as long as I keep them in the same relative position in all 12 frames, right? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
Next question: How do I assign the numbers to the bif pics to determine where a Run/charge or stomp/attack stand, or walk should be? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
Next Question: The steeds all have 16 images per frame. The elephant should have these 16 position angles plus any attack motions correct? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
I am sure I have more or I will come across some the further I get into this. All help is welcome. I'd love to give the Carthaginians Some elephants in my Punic War Mod. Thanks
