yeah, he's sitting around drinking! j/k

Nice.

if you have any models that use lincoln animations I can post the custom one i did to differntate your stuff.

Also, I've learned a few things about animations and updating my guide. One thing I'm going to try out - I think its doable - is that I can copy portions of one animation and paste them into another. This will make customization really easy especially if the bones are labelled the same and you can swap between different animations (say on a bicep or arm movement).

One animation I want to update is the Hitler greeting animation. We have the Roman chest pump but I think it would be better to have him do his sissy over the shoulder hand flip.

Next I want to add a bone and modify an animation to use it - of course that would be to add the helmet removal animation to our Alexander.

Do whatever you'd like, anything you do is normally awesome!

Ever since I started working on my mod I've been doing different things at different times (coding, xml, units, lhs etc.) to the point that it gets a little difficult to master one thing at once. But it is almost finished, and after that I intend on getting back to mastering LH-making.

 

[The Capo]

Alright kids, time to help the Capo out again. I need a good background image for Benazir Bhutto. Here she is so far, Bernie did a great job on this I have to say...

...and I'm HOPING that Bakuel plans on making some Pakistani units (or units I can use for Pakistan) to make this LH really worth-while.

If anyone is interested, I am in the initial rigging phase, so I have to run a few tests on her to see if she moves right. Then a few minor tweaks and she should be ready, I am not going to release her with the other LHs since this was a collaborative effort, so as soon as I am finished with her she goes up. Does this mean I have already finished a couple of the other guys.... maybe...

So anyway, if anyone wants to help out and come up with a good background image for this awesome LH that would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: If anybody wants to help out by creating diplomacy texts, civilopedia text, or personality/traits/AI that would be appreciated.

 

[The_J]

Impressive. It's definitly her. Excellent work .

 

[Huayna Capac357]

The entrance to Mohatta Palace in Karachi, in her home province of Sindh?

And maybe Cha/Org for traits? Favorite religion would be Islam, favorite civic maybe Representation, Bureaucracy, or Emancipation. I dunno what AI personality she'd be like.

I like the image, I'll use it. I got a lot of rerigging to do, I was going to try and get her done tonight, but it will probably be a couple of days.

 

[Ekmek]

who are you rigging her to?

 

[The Capo]

We were just going to rig her to Victoria, unless you have a better idea.

the background suggested by Huayna Capac357 looks really nice

For her Civilopedia entry you can use this, from Britannica:

Spoiler :

Benazir Bhutto

Prime Minister of Pakistan
Lived: 21/6/1953 - 27/12/2007

Benazir Bhutto was the daughter of the politician Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was the leader of Pakistan from 1971 until 1977. She was educated at Harvard University and subsequently studied philosophy, political science, and economics at the University of Oxford.

After her father’s execution in 1979 during the rule of the military dictator Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq, Bhutto became the titular head the Pakistan People’s Party, and endured frequent house arrests from 1979 to 1984. In exile from 1984 to 1986, she returned to Pakistan after the lifting of martial law and soon became the foremost figure in the political opposition to Zia. President Zia died in August 1988 in a mysterious plane crash, leaving a power vacuum at the centre of Pakistani politics. In the ensuing elections, Bhutto’s PPP won the single largest bloc of seats in the National Assembly. She became prime minister, heading a coalition government.

Bhutto was unable to do much to combat Pakistan’s widespread poverty, governmental corruption, and increasing crime. In August 1990 the president of Pakistan, Ghulam Ishaq Khan, dismissed her government on charges of corruption and other malfeasance and called for new elections. Bhutto’s PPP suffered a defeat in the national elections of October 1990; thereafter she led the parliamentary opposition against her successor, Nawaz Sharif.

In elections held in October 1993 the PPP won a plurality of votes, and Bhutto again became head of a coalition government. Under renewed allegations of corruption, economic mismanagement, and a decline of law and order, her government was dismissed in November 1996 by President Farooq Leghari.

In the 1997 elections Bhutto’s PPP suffered a decisive loss to Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League party. With British and Swiss cooperation, Sharif’s administration continued to pursue the corruption charges against Bhutto. In 1999 Bhutto and her husband, the controversial businessman and senator Asif Ali Zardari, jailed since 1996 on a variety of additional charges, were both convicted of corruption by a Lahore court, a decision overturned by the Supreme Court in 2001 because of evidence of governmental interference. Bhutto did not achieve political accommodation with General Pervez Musharraf’s seizure of power in a 1999 coup d’état; her demands that the charges against her and her husband be dropped were denied, undercutting negotiations with the Musharraf government regarding a return to the country from her self-imposed exile. Facing standing arrest warrants should she return to Pakistan, Bhutto remained in exile in London and Dubai from the late 1990s.

Because of Musharraf’s 2002 decree banning prime ministers from serving a third term, Bhutto was not permitted to stand for elections that same year. In addition, legislation in 2000 that prohibited a court-convicted individual from holding party office hindered her party, as Bhutto’s unanimously elected leadership would have excluded the PPP from participating in elections. In response to these obstacles, the PPP split, registering a new, legally distinct branch called the Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP). Legally separate and free from the restrictions brought upon the PPP by Bhutto’s leadership, the PPPP participated in the 2002 elections, in which it proceeded to earn a strong vote. However, Bhutto’s terms for cooperation with the military government - that all charges against her and against her husband be withdrawn - continued to be denied. In 2004 Bhutto’s husband was released from prison on bail and joined Bhutto in exile. Just before the 2007 elections, talk began to circulate of Bhutto’s return to Pakistan.

Shortly before Musharraf’s reelection to the presidency, amid unresolved discussions of a power-sharing deal between Bhutto and Musharraf’s military regime, he finally granted Bhutto a long-sought amnesty for the corruption charges brought against her by the Sharif administration. The Supreme Court challenged Musharraf’s right to grant the amnesty, however, criticizing it as unconstitutional; nevertheless, in October 2007 Bhutto returned to Karachi from Dubai after eight years of self-imposed exile. Celebrations marking her return were marred by a suicide attack on her motorcade, in which numerous supporters were killed. Bhutto was assassinated in December in a similar attack while campaigning for upcoming parliamentary elections.

No need to kneejerk give her a female animation. I'm sure some colonization leaderheads could add some uniqueness to here even if you have to swap the affirmative animation for the greeting.

 

[The Capo]

Well, I have never done what you are describing, so this is probably going to take a lot of trial and error for me. I might as well learn then.

Sorry guys, consider everything else delayed.

 

[The Capo]

Since I'm delaying everything to work on this Bhutto LH, I might as well throw you guys some red meat. Here's a preview of what I have so far for Harun al-Rashid, he is based on Ragnar Lodbrok but with Saladin's nose.

EDIT: And if you are wondering, this is the image I am LOOSELY basing him on...

 

[Vrenir]

Very nice on both counts.

 

[bernie14]

is there any particular reason why you would want to go with no glasses VS glasses?

 

[The Capo]

What do you mean? I'm doing both.

 

[bernie14]

What do you mean? I'm doing both.

.....nevermind......

 

[The Capo]

Oh, I only chose to show a preview of the one without glasses so everyone could see how great the face looked. That's probably what you meant.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Good stuff as always. I look forward to nicking it.
