<div class="IPBDescription">About stuff in this forum</div> I know this prolly belongs in Q&A but it only has to do with skinning so here it goes, anywho, theres a few things that I've got no clue what they are/mean
1.mreq
2.Smartgun animations . . . I see posts about em all over the place but what exactly are they?Realistic animations or something?
3.The Hydralisk skin roxxorz(I guess its not a question :-P)


And don't bother calling me n00b because in regards to this I obviously am, if you need to call someone something thats so completely obvious perhaps you're a word(s) I can't say on this forum :-P(and you should be shot)

Btw Sheena, where you get all that Avp stuff . . . You're like my friend cept hes obsessed with star wars(well as much as his mom lets him be, lol)

1. mreq = "model request" (sreq would be sprite or sound request, etc). mrel is for "model release"

2. the smartgun anims are for a conversion of the Aliens smartgun, which is held differently (more realistically) and needs different player models for it to work

3. yes it does

sheena_yanai

mreq = modelrequest
mrel =modelrelease
smartgun animation...hmm.. when u use the custom smartgun model from avp2 with a regular hmg animation it looks like hes balancing the smartgun on 1 finger.. u need a special model with smartgun animation ...this way your models holdin the gun correct

She's already said it is, Darkbolt. And she's got a boyfriend, so forget it. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Sprite releases are generally "SPREL". Sounds are "SREL". At least, that's my understanding.

Smartgun anims, as has been pointed out, is in reference to the AL|ENS "Smartgun" that has been converted. There have been a few models released with Smartgun anims so far.

Hehe, took me a minute to catch on there(its 2 in the morn)
Thought you meant it was balancing on one finger like when the marine does it with his knife, lol
Anywho, thx for the heads up, I may start skinning or something sometime soon once I get bored/motivated(I suppose they're the same thing with me)
I'm for sure gonna go into one of the fields of mapping skinning or modeling which i don't know yet, I'm currently working out sketchs of a map right now, that includes an underwater hive that can only be sieged from one place(makes for an interesting game if its your last hive) all the aliens have to do is protect that one point so it requires marines to be in top top shape and msot likely all there to gaurd while siege builds and stuff, opening up other hives to the aliens, and the aliens don't really die, they'll have regen if they're smart, defense chambers down they're if they're really smart and hive will heal them if they start the map there . . . mind you the hive will be hugely open to GL attacks i think . . . anywho thats just some thoughts, heh

Interesting. I look forward to seeing that in action.
