well ive heared there are like 200-400 anims, correct me if im wrong.
but i also heared that you guys couldnt compile all animations so you did something to make it work, not sure what though...
can someone explane to me please?
We used a new technique to load the models server + clientside. Instead of using the player.mdl as the 'master model', every model can now act like it's own player.mdl, using it's own frame rates and own animation orders.
The difference? Before every character had to have every animation in the same exact order, even if they never used the attack. Now we can give the characters just the animations they need... So for example, we no longer have to give goku the deathball, special beam cannon, final flash, etc...
The only disadvantage is that we need to precache the models rather then have the engine precache and load them on the fly ( or however the hell it handles it ). This means you can no longer change the models to ones that arnt default ESF ones... Probably just going to make it really hard for mods like EVM to switch to ascended models.
I also still use the player.mdl file ONLY for advanced melee. The only reason being is that advanced melee speeds heavily depend on the speed of the animations, and we dont want players to be meleeing faster then others...
