elephant riders

[shifty157]

A quick question.

How do you modify the height of the elephant riders/archers? Ive played around with descr_mount.txt but it doesnt seem to have any effect. Im trying to edit the forest_elephant.

I don't remember which one it is but one of the 3 coordinates (the numbers after the soldier type) controls the vertical height. Just experiment a bit.

If you see no change, then your model might be using the wrong elephant type.

Yes, that was what I did trying to incorporate more soldiers to elephants.
See what happened:


Or even you can deplace riders, as if there were a "sidecar":

I would assume that this has to do with the model of the soldier rather than anything else. Try to modify the height of the Scene Root...

Also make sure that any model you are adding as a reider uses a rider type animation. The 'flying' guy looks like he is standing up.

The rider skeletons all have _hc in the name. I would think the centres are different, which would screw things up. They also need to look as though they were actually sitting down
