So the vehicle I have been working on is making great progress (mainly due to XZodia), but I have seemed to have forgotten how to change jmads. I went through the plugin I have and I am confused on what I saw. I have done jmad swapping and rotations--but it didnt look familiar.
Basically, I need to make my warthog_d into an upright, standing. It also required to make him use his rifle also.
What are my options here?
Thanks for the answers!

Re: Jmad Editing
Well I don't know how to do the edit, but you'll want the lower half of the body to use the turret animation and the upper half to be normal/passenger I expect.

Re: Jmad Editing
Go to Characters/masterchief/masterchief and copy the animations chunk you want over the one your replacing, Example: copy animations chunk 14 (turret_idle) over animation chunk 8 (banshee_d:unarmed:idle).
I use the old meta editor to look up which chunks i need, i hope this helps, this process is how i made my character swordlunge with the oddball (glowing yellow football) in a mod i made.

Re: Jmad Editing
Ogrish, did you release that mod? Did the lunge work at any time or only with an enemy in the crosshairs?

Re: Jmad Editing
I think i released it, and it worked with someone in the crosshairs.
I remember using the sniper recticle while testing with friends and lunging across the whole map just for fun.
Origanally i had done this in an attempt at a spiderman mod, where i removed JPT damage, making it a sword cancel, and tried to make the recticle lock on surfaces, but i never got it working to my liking.
Edit: It was in my area 51 mod, that i never completed, Heres the patch.

Re: Jmad Editing
Does anyone have any ideas why my jmads are erasing themselves? I literally am editing them, saving, testing, works perfectly, then make other edits and the jmads edits are erased. Im using Entity UE1.6. Plugin I suppose?

Re: Jmad Editing
It kind of sounds like you're not saving haha. Do you have backup copies in case your changes are fubar? And are you uploading the backups instead?

Re: Jmad Editing
Could it be a result of shared reflexives? Are you always editing the same jmad or different ones?

Re: Jmad Editing
Could be. This should be pretty obvious when viewed in Entity. All shared reflexives that lay within a different tag are labelled in red instead of black.XZodia wrote:Could it be a result of shared reflexives? Are you always editing the same jmad or different ones?
