Thread: Can anyone tell me how I......

    Default Can anyone tell me how I......

    Right now with a title like that maybe I will get some more people to look at my post. It doesn't matter if you don't know, just put I don't know how to do that then I actually know people don't know and that I'm not just being ignored.

    OK enough of that, here is what I want to know how to do:

    Change the speed of marching/running/charging for a unit.

    Change the velocity of a missile for an individual missile unit.

    Change the speed at which a missile unit can fire after just firing.

    Change the accuracy of projectiles.


    I know all this can be done in Medieval 1 and I have messed with those stats in that game so I don't see why they shouldn't be present in this one. Problem is I can't find them and if they don't exist please can someone say so, Thank You.

    Yeah I don't exactly know how... Please give your threads a more meaningful titles or I'll ignore them

    You can't change the running speeds for single units until KE and GOM came up with an animation converter. There's a text file in the data folder to decrease movement through the bank though.
    Not sure about v but you there's an accuracy line in descr_projectiles I think (in 1.2 at least)
    And there is some setting on the weapon line that can impose a wait until the reload animation is triggered next in edu, not sure which one

    If you do want to play around with animations there are fullanimmerge.py
    and fullanimextract.py Python scripts. You can get them from here:

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=1341

    You will need Milkshape 1.8 for this. However, if you change a walk or
    run animation, remember it will apply to ALL units that use that animation.

    The only way I know of to affect a single unit is to make a separate
    new animation name and copy all the anims into that directory and change
    descr_skeletons.txt to add in the new animation type, and then give
    that unit the new animation name. I have not got that to
    work yet so I don't have a procedure to tell you.

    Edit: Left out the most important thing. You need to do this with
    Caliban's unpacked animations directory. You can find that here:

    Okay, got it to work so here's the procedure:
    Copy the directory that has the anims you want to
    change. For instance, say its a Spear unit. You make
    a new directory in Caliban's unpacked anims folder called
    mySpear and copy over the files in MTW2_Spear.
    Edit descr_skeletons.txt and copy the spear animations
    section to mySpear and change all the paths and the
    animation names to mySpear. Now use fullanimmerge.py
    to merge a desired animation with a base unit to change the
    animation. Use fullanimextract.py to pull the new animation
    out again and rename it to the animation you want. Voila!
    a new and faster (or slower) walk or run animation for that
    unit, assuming you change battle_models.modeldb to use the
    new animation name.

    Not much joy on non-standard skels yet, I seem to be having
    mesh problems with Bwian's dwarf. Post again if I have a solution.
