Used: Flying PC's

Dear ,

After the update to CEP, I was doing an underwater run. When I left the water, I found I was still "swimming" in terms of animation. I gotta say, it was really cool! (ask Manny)
I was wondering if winged characters could be allowed to choose the "swim" animation on dry land, because it actually looks as if we are flying. Physics aside, the look is more in concert with what I thought of when I picked a winged player character.
Just a thought...

I like the idea. It's does look like the winged character is flying about.

When I first came out of water I commented that I was Superman.

I proceeded to to graveyard to punch out evildoers.

I think the swimming animation style *IS* the CEP's flying animation pheno ....

You'll be happy to know that I've:

a) fixed the constant "swimming" animation upon leaving the water

b) scripted the same animation style for winged beings via style fly VC command (when wearing clothing or light armor). This one's going in for the next planned reset after I make a few other changes in the toolset.

I was busy today.

And yes, the "swimming" is the CEP's "flying" animation.

Funny

Neat .... I might be making that winged elf I've been thinking of soon then....

Yes.

You really do think of everything don't ye ?!?! ..... Even if we do try to keep you on your toes.... ... ((I forgot about the cloak of flight ))....


..... how about the cloak of the bat (but at night only)... or are we starting to get silly....

If I thought of everything, I'd be rich from hundreds of ingenius inventions.

cloak of the bat? Nope. It only give you wings long enough for one "hop" at a time.

And yes, you got silly a long time ago.

Damn it...i cant get online to have iggy worship at the altar

Print that out and pin it to your wall, add candles and altar incense as desired around base of picture

Did you make that Manny? Because it's very VERY impressive.

I think that manny's pic should be moved to a different thread, stickied and enshrined so we can all worship at the feet of the mighty !

No, I found it online. I just added the text and recolored the eye to be blue instead of yellow. The artist's sig is visible, but hell if I can read the name.

Very cool none the less Manny, very cool indeed!

Would be good if could have the link to the artists site to ask him if he can use the image to "update the Aenea loadscreen override" .... ... ...

pfft... I downloaded that a couple months ago. I coudln't recall which site even if I wanted too! It was off a mass community image site that operated like deviantart or such.

I am so happy that "style fly" is in this one! YAY! i loved bumping around Aenea flying like superman!
It looks so cool

And yes, that image should be available for the worshipers like me, Manny.

Ya know...i had a thought...is it possible to alter the level the figure appears to be flying at?

Would be neat to be high in the air. I think its just coordinates that determines the level...maybe a vc command could dictate that.

It's actually built in as part of the phenotype model(s). Technically you're still on the ground, you just appear to be in the air.

Ahh thats right...it plays off the *mysterium* guys animation.

That's the levitation style added with ACPv4. The flying one is part of CEP.

Really? that one lich guy in the monster basic list floats exactly like that...and hes from the bioware patch for that one module. Maybe they pulled it from him. Eh..either way its too bad...would be cool to fly at different levels

Do you mean Masterious the Lich King, from the Infinite Dungeons premium mod, Kef?

I think Kefrem's mentally mixing up the levitation and flying styles (they're different).

all i know is theres some floating lich guy in the monsters when i boot up a basic toolset now...he has the same levitation we/you use on aenea...same folded arms all of it.

I know he doesnt fly...this was just a different train of thought was all...i know he dont actually fly. Just ignore me im rambling again

Ah, I see him (got my toolset open now). And reading some notes posted by ragnarok_mr4 (the guy that made the ACP), the levitate one is based directly on that model.

I think the CEP flying animation looks good...as long as you're not sitting still talking or something...then it just looks like you're bobbing up and down a little on some sort of stage harness.

LOOK! i can see the wires!

On a side note...any ever notice that Halaster is absolutely freakin enormous in the toolset when yoiu place him.(i think it was him) hes liike 3 characters high.
