How to make animals animate?
« on: December 10, 2012, 09:14:39 pm »
I have recently downloaded Jay's animal pack and I don't know how to make them animate. Is it something with the skeleton file I need to do for them to move?

Mesh's on Feralheart cannot be animated unfortunately, it would require a lot of coding to actually allow animated mesh's. As much as I would like this, I don't think it's going to happen in a while.

OH but they can ingredient, but I only know one who was ever able to do such a feat, due to a special but expensive program. I would ask Logical on FH how she animated meshes, otherwise, forget about that notion...

No, seriously I really don't believe you can. You would have to hack into the game files itself and all the coding to be able to add the animation would seriously be a lot or not possible.

May I ask but who was this person? How did you find out about her animations? I've seen no videos or sites with animated Fearlheart mesh's besides the feline and canine models.

OWO Logical... she is an expert at mesh making, and "Coding" Special commands into your own mesh can enable you to animate, as far as I know. It isnt exactly hacking. I have SEEN animated meshes in a warrior cat map.

Meshes, or particles?
There's a difference.

Personally I've never seen an animated mesh, but I have heard some things 'bout it being possible n' such.
Not sure though..

I'd just like to point out that it is theoretically possible to animate meshes for a map by posing the mesh frame-by-frame and setting the materials to also go frame-by-frame one-by one, but it's very tedious.

Yes, that is how you animate mesh's but it's not exactly how you bring them into maps ;)

I guess it can be done but it's not something everyone could probably do easily.
