Hello guys,
I have a little idea about pistols. I swap original crossbow model to custom model 1911 and now i need change animation to /Point anim. Somebody knows where I can change animationID in crossbow fire mod?
Any other ideas?

I could help. Are you looking to edit a spell that already exists or make a new one? The animation data for spells is in column 2 in SpellVisualKIt.dbc. The SpellVisualKit.dbc entry would then link back to SpellVisual.dbc and then Spell.dbc.
I could write you a step-by-step process but it depends on whether you're making a new spell or editing an old one.
Oh, sweet idea btw
-
I guess he's searching a way to swap character animation. Not the spell. I'm not really experienced in modelling but I assume you need PyModelEditor and other old tools. However, I'm pretty sure that it can be done via hex editor manually.
-
Oh, I getcha. I thought he wanted to make a spell by the way he worded it. In this case, just open AnimationData.dbc and find EmotePoint on line 84. Change the value in column 3 to 0, and your weapons will no longer go away when you point.
Unfortunately, the point emote is a oneshot, not a state. I don't know how to edit that.
Edit: Yet again I may be answering all the wrong questions. If you're looking to change your attack animation to /point then I'd say forget it. There is no "crossbow" animation. All crossbow weapons share the same attack animation that rifles use, and I think you wouldn't want to change that. I'm sure there's ways around it but, as Skarn said, it's difficult.
Edit: I've been looking around for possibilities and really the only idea I have is to change the auto attack spell for crossbows to have a point animation. It would look very unnatural and Idk if you can do it without effecting rifles as well.
-
I disagree with you about the crossbow animations. Rifle and bow animations are different. It's easy to find out just looking to the WMV ;)
-
Mind telling me the animation name? Because I'm 99% it shares the same animation as the rifle. I even checked WMV. There are rifle animations and there are bow animations. There are no "crossbow" animations. They share with rifle.

I'm pretty sure this is correct as well. I have a friend who did some investigation into this issue a little while ago and the only viable solution he found was changing the animation for the auto-shoot spell (I think he chose to use wands in his experiment). I never saw the actual results, but I believe he put it into practise and wasn't very satisfied with that solution. Worth a shot, though.
-
Yeah that's what I was thinking. That'll work for sure but it will probably look horrible. Still a good concept though.
-
These animations are called: LoadRifle, ReadyRifle, Hold Rifle, AttackRifle. And absoultely the same (but with the word bow) is for bow.
-
I know of those animations, but I really don't know what you're getting at. Crossbows aren't the same as bows. They're basically a bow attached to a gun. They use the same animations as the rifles but with different sound effects.
-
Oh... I misunderstood you. I got it now. I thought crossbow and bow are the same things. (My English sucks...) Yeah, a crossbow use the same animation as a rifle.
-
Ohh, I'm sorry I should have realized sooner. :P No worries
-
No problem. I just forgot that crossbows exist in WoW. I haven't played it for ages. Only development :D
-
Thanks for all answers, but i found some problems
1. Human male points right hand, but human female use left hand
2. When i swap crosbow animation i destroyed rifle animations
3. When I want use bows its same problem like a no.1 and bow hold in left hand and point is a right hand.
(Sorry for my English, I'm on mobil in the work)
But thanks again.
-
Oh wow, so it's even worse than I thought. Idk what you can do about that. Probably have to edit the animations.
-
I've actually been thinking of making this in the past, and the only solution I have is:
Open the humanmale from TBC in MDLVIS
Remove all animations
Create 1 to 3 new animations for pistols.
Convert with MDXTOM2.
Use Animporter to port over your pistol animations from your ConvertedHumanMale.m2 to OriginalHumanMale.m2
-
Hmm or exist some easy way to swap race animations? (For example: point from undead male to human male) I have a some next ideas.

Yes! I've been wondering this as well. I want to make a blood elf that has dwarf animations. Anyone know if it's possible?
-
Yes it is possible, with Blender or Animporter.
-
i know you could use the 010 template for m2 editing. you can set one animation to be used for multiple things. for instance i had a toon with no sit but had a kneel anim. so i made it use the kneel animation for both the sitting and kneeling. (it was better than him standing in place doing nothing.) it has been awhile since i have messed with any of this but maybe it would give you a place to start. ideal would be to do dbc edits for handguns. make a new shoot spell for them to use and alter the visual to the animation you want it to have.

This is solved for me.

Holy shit that is cool. How did you Kneel and ReadyRifle at the same time?
-
Only make spell with aim ready animation. Try it ;)

I already have one of those. It doesn't work for me :(

Aye - and surely a spell with only the aim ready animation already exists in the form of Hold Rifle, at any rate? Or is there something more to it?

/in 0.1 /s .ca 16723
/in 0.2 /s .au 75038
so ..

Good idea, i'm surprised I didn't realise I was that simple earlier! Now I suppose the question is how the same results can be achieved in a way that doesn't involve giving GM commands to regular players, but perhaps that warrants its own thread.
