The Capo's LH Gallery and Self-Help Thread!

[The Capo]

Well I checked to see if the profile view was becuase of something I did or if it was just part of the animation. And it turns out its just part of the new animation (I plugged in the old ones and it looked fine). I probably won't mess with NifSkope too much. Again, these are not LHs I chose to make, thy are LHs I am making for modules which were basically requested by a litany of other people and not myself. This isn't to say I am entirely disinterested, but I am not THAT interested in making these utterly unique or perfect. And I can always go back and change them, I just wanted to make new LHs that I thought were good for new civs. I guess I'm getting in that as a way of saying that I won't put any more effort into these than checking to see if animations work; if they don't work I won't use them (or try and fix them so they do work) and if they work they will be considered.

But I figured I might as well make a list so people know what's up later on.

 

[The Capo]

Damn Tachnechobrus/Logan/Mongkut doesn't seem to work well with others! I tried all of the C4Col anims and NONE work. So if anyone is putting together a list leave Logan off of it. Of course I haven't checked other civ anims, but from what I can see it doesn't look too good. I'll try again tomorrow...

What about Vanilla/Warlords/BTS leader animations?

What about Vanilla/Warlords/BTS leader animations?

God damn it.... I should be getting paid for this! Where's el hidalgo?

EDIT: Its not that I don't want to do it (well actually it IS that I don't want to do it), but its so time consuming to try all of these leaders' animations. Doing it for Colonization was bad enough and now you are asking me to do three times that amount over something that is basically pointless. I'll do it, but this is going to back up the modules, I hope you know that.

 

[The Capo]

Actually what would really help me out (A LOT) is if you or anyone else who has my diplomacy mod could just try some animations themselves for me? That could severly cut down the time this will take for me, and will thus make the completion time for the modules themselves much shorter.

So if you want to see Mongkut with different anims that badly I'd suggest helping me out with this.

i'm pretty sure it won't work because the colonization leaders use different names for the bones than BTS

That's right, good save Ekmek.

No he is right though, the bones have different names in Col than they do in the other ones. The only thing I can think of doing is changing the greeting, but as far as I can tell that's the only thing I can really do to change the look a little bit.

I'm going through and finalizing these LHs for release. I put up Cerobleptes because Vrenir has been waiting for a long time, so its in the database. I'll update my first page, with links and everything, once I release the rest of them.

I'm going to include different skins for Cochise so you have a younger version and an older version, because I couldn't figure out which one I liked better. Once I figure out which animations to use for certain LHs I'll release them but they are all basically ready to go now. Hopefully I can get that done in the next day or two. Thanks for being patient.

For historical accuracy, I prefer young Cochise... but I like that older Cochise kinda stands out. Leaves me a bit split too.

Also, Mongkut is fine with his current animations.

 

[The Capo]

Just a small bit of bad news about the Toussaint L'Overture LH; apparently the new anims I gave him (Charles De Gaulle) don't work too well with the model I used. His eyes are messed up. So I am going to have to use the original FDR animations. This is a little disappointing because I liked the greeting he gave (I thought it fit better), but its not a huge deal anyway. I am working dilligently to get the LHs up today because I am going to be pretty busy the next few days and I'd rather get this done with now while its all fresh in my mind. So HOPEFULLY I'll have a few new LHs up tonight.

I don't think it is so horrible if the animations can't be changed. It really sucks though that this particular LH you decided to try doesn't work with anything else... In my opinion, the greeting is the only thing that really needed change. So, if you give him another greeting animation, try avoiding some of the longer animations. I just hate Santa Anna's greeting, if you know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, good luck!

If you gave Mongkut Adams's greeting and the rest of the animations are Logan's, would he be on his side for a minute, then turn around?

I'm almost entirely sure it would look horrible if I tried that. So sure I won't attempt it, but feel free to do so when you download it and let me know what happens. I am also not going to attempt it because I have already compressed everything and am preparing to post it now.

Ekmek; you have created a monster!

damn proud of it too.

 

[The_J]

One more person for my credits-list .
I've added now Stambolov, Kekkonen and Munoz Martin, and Munoz is great .
I've also looked at L'Overture and Mongkut, also great , but i really hate the fdr-greeting .

 

[CurryAztec]

the new batch is awesome! I really like the Haitian! Since, no one would ever make that.

 

[RavenKing]

Very impressive work, both in quality and quantity.

 

[The Capo]

Thanks for all of the kind words everyone! They are greatly appreciated.

I am going to make the modules for these new guys, and then I am going to do the Ulmanis and Nasser requests and then for a while I'll be out of the LH making business as I work on version two of my mod (although I am making a few new LHs for that). I am doing a few LHs that people already have made, but I had a different vision for them, I won't go into too much detail on that right now (you'll see it when it comes out).

But please, if you find anything wrong with the latest LHs I have made, or any of them for that matter, please let me know so I can fix them (whether sooner or later). Thanks.
