Original posts can be found HERE (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=208456&page=2). The combat animations are in fact in the regular old animations.2da; combatanimations.2da is more like a seating arrangement. It lists all the attacks...  [Read More]

That would be good too. So, JCcarter, would you be inclined to help me proceed with creating a new "node" and a new "boolean"? Bear in mind that I don't have a clue how this works and have just a slight idea about what a boolean i...  [Read More]

No, no... you can't do that because you have no idea what setting that back to false would do to the rest of the game. You'd need to add another node with another conditional... another boolean, or maybe whether G0-T0 has joined the party. Shouldn't...  [Read More]

At zbyl2's request I've recorded a walkthrough for the mod. Unfortunately I'm really laz- er... busy, so I'm only posting one part a day so I have time to catch up. Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riunuUeOQuM) Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/w...  [Read More]

I'm not sure... I think that stuff is hard coded. But it might be possible to do what you want with a heartbeat script; the only catch is it would only affect whatever NPCs you apply it to - unless you modify the generic heartbeat script, but of cour...  [Read More]

Hmm... I think the easiest thing would be to set a local boolean at the same time you trigger the stun. It would go something like: SetLocalBoolean(oTarget, 21, TRUE); 21 is the boolean number - anything between 20 and 63 should be safe. And then...  [Read More]

The 2 represents the duration type. 0 = instantaneous (like death), 1 = temporary (like stun if you want to set a specific length, which you would do by changing the 0.0 to a length), 2 = permanent (stays on until you clear the effect)....  [Read More]

It would look something like this: ApplyEffectToObject(2, EffectStunned(), oTarget, 0.0); To unstun them: AssignCommand(oTarget, ClearAllEffects()); I don't know if this would work in cutscenes; there appears to be another function in the code, b...  [Read More]

None that I can see... two things I can think of. 1. It's possible she's turning around because she's becoming aware of an enemy and is getting ready to attack it. If that's the case, she's turning around before he even attacks, so it doesn't matter...  [Read More]

Oh... oh! I realize what's happening. She's turning around because he's attacking, right. Ignore everything I said before. Well, except the part about BioWare being lazy. :p I believe you can fix this by making it a passive attack. // 37: Attack oAt...  [Read More]

Ugh... this is something that annoys me so much in the game. BioWare was so lazy. Basically, to stop an NPC from turning around all the time, you need to lock their orientation. The script function is: // 505: SetLockOrientationInDialog // Allows th...  [Read More]

Hmm... I had noticed that the 231 shuttle and its associated files seem to be less incomplete than 261's. The Ebon Hawk skyboxes are room animations, and I thought it wasn't possible to create new ones. But theoretically you could just duplicate the...  [Read More]

The chairs appear to be... well, too damn big. I tried having Atton sit down and do his Ebon Hawk animation, and he clips right through it. Now, the chairs are part of the model, not placeables. 3ds Max and I do not get along - and I can probably che...  [Read More]

Absolutely! If you have the time, I'd suggest doing it for the 231 shuttle as well. I think all you'd need to do is just change the skybox, since it's essentially the same area....  [Read More]

The sound effects are in a different format than the music, and Miles will not read them properly. If I had to guess, I'd say it's because the music is mono, playing evenly throughout the entire level, while the sound effects are adaptive; they are p...  [Read More]
