no..I haven't won the lottery.... but this is great news all the same!
For those who have been following the unravelling of hte MESH format and the work to crack animation, but a major breakthrough has happened which has far reaching repercussions for this mod.
They have managed to successfully rebuild from parts the skeleton dat file. What's so great about that you ask ..well it's simple...
It means we can make new skeletons with re-sited bones.
This means REAL DWARVES, correctly proportions Orcs and Skaven may get tails that move! and a whole host of other things.
The bad news is, however, that it is going to mean a whole shedload of work to make the new animations, since you have to modify them ALL to fit the new skeleton...but it's a price I will happily pay for the end result.
