This is great and I added it to my wishlist! I'll have to wait until I get paid, but I've been wanting some critters. Would you also consider making a male lion? At some point I want to make a Narnia fan game for some kids I know.

Same here. Nice wolves Harry.

Edit: would be nice if you can met them with z textures.

hi 3com,
you mean zombie textures?

Harry

I suppose yes... LOL

awesome work will def be adding this alongside my pigs boars chickens horse stag dogs etc

thanks guys,

And zombie textures is no problem,next week i will take a look at that. and add them.

Harry

And I thought you were a nice person...killing those poor wolfies

Nice work, should be popular.

Yes sir.

Testing and experimenting with zombie texture.
what do you think of this?



Harry

That looks pretty good for those who want a Zombie wolf. I finally just bought the regular wolf, thanks for making critters! If you ever decide to make a lion, I'd buy that too (hint hint)

That's fine for me.
Thanks a lot harry.

If you want to use it, here is the texture.

Zombiewolf.

Oh yeah!, working in pos-apocalytic Z world too, like " I'm a legend" movie.
I already have your creature and z-dog, now waiting payday to grabb this one, the I'll post some shot.

Now I'm modeling also pos-apocalytic buildings, cars, tunnels, ruins, even recreating zombie scene.
Althought I'm running into GG trouble, since player does not moving in test mode, like player being freeze, it should be, because the only 5 fps, I'm getting.

Remove items to get more fps, do not should be an option, since then the scene loss intensity, realism, I thought.

Things like those make me to deal with 2 or 3 projects a time, when I really would deal with one form beginning to the end.

Harry, does the wolf have a firespot at all? I'm writing a script to make the wolf a third person playable character, and I got the running animation working with the movement keys, but I'm having trouble with attacking. I'm thinking that if there is no firespot then I can't attach an invisible weapon to trigger him attacking, and I'll have to write in something so the entities take damage when the animation plays.

The wolf have no firespot.
If you want i can try to add one for you. but where do you want the firespot on the animal
If you have fragmotion, you can add it by yourself.



Harry

the wolf could be have a firespot on tne mouth i suppose

Yes the mouth so I would add an invisible dagger. Still a wolf that could shoot fireballs, that would be cool. As long as Fragmotion doesn't ruin anything I could try adding the firespot myself and just save it to a player wolf so I don't mess up yours.

I'm honestly not sure what I'm doing in Fragmotion, but it's changing the model so the texture is no longer UV mapped. I could try this in Blender but I'm afraid that all the conversions steps to do so are going to bust the animations. I honestly only downloaded Fragmotion today because it seems the consensus is that it does the least tinkering with the animations when importing and exporting Direct X.

Edit - I added the firespot bone through a text editor right into the Direct X file, approximately where it appeared in the modified version with the other bones. He looks normal again. Can't get the invisible dagger to work, I guess I'll try an invisible firewand next.

Edit again - HA! The firewand works! Have to scale that down and make it invisible. Not exactly natural, but until I either figure out how to get him to do melee damage as if he's biting, or wait until they implement more third person options. I do notice that using the staff reset my move animation to walking (I had him set to run in my script as his base movement). It makes me wonder if third person is tied to the staff somehow because now he's accessing the fpe csi animations where before he wasn't (which is why I wrote the script).

Hope to see a video of it soon.
I think the most things are hard coded. but the csi animation frames you can set in the fpe file.
But let me know if you want me to add the firespot bone.

Harry

I got the bone added in, it's all good I actually have a story idea for this which might become my first game.

yes a lot of third person is hard coded but if you look at the csi animations you can work out which is which... it's likely that as he's now become "armed" it's just using the different setting which has different frames set

look for csi_unarmedmovefore and csi_stoodmovefore
those should be your unarmed and armed walking (respectively)
and then
csi_unarmedmoverun and csi_stoodmoverun
are your running animations

you can add any that are missing yourself - just look for the names in the stock combat characters and change the frames as needed

Yep I already did that before in the fpe, but he would not animate with the csi animations on key presses until after I added the wizard staff. That was the whole reason I started to write a script to trigger the animations on key press, but once he got the wizard staff, he started using csi animations on his own and now doesn't need the script. I'm keeping my third person animation trigger script though because it could be useful for other third person things (other unarmed creatures, vehicles, etc).
