GR was answering to the best of his knowledge, and quite nicely.
Your responce to him was 'a bit' overboard.
IMO.
I threw the 'lazy' in as a responce to a really uncalled for comment on your part.
So let's all call it all a 'boo boo' and be friends again.
To give you (and others) better insight?
To convert the Player Deck Guns for AI usage would require exporting the 3D models and building a whole new AI Gun.
Not to hard to do with S3D now.
Then you would need to do new animations for the AI gun crews.
It would be another 'the gun crew don't move right' thread if you didn't!
VERY few Modders have ever done new animations of 'people' for SH3.
The first I am aware of, and saw, was by Ref during development of GWX.
Don't recall exactly which version but I'm thinking 2?
(This was before S3D was coded to do the same.
I still have Ref's original program never released except to GWX Dev's.
Ref, DivingDuck (Or Slacker as I call him), and I spent MANY,
MANY, hours working on the animations problem back then.)
Those animations, due to problems with the Unit intended to use them, never saw release.
We determined that the time to solve the problem could not meet our deadline for release of the newest GWX.
Which was in final release testing.
Much like the original SH3 Dev's?
Plans for many things had to be excluded.
We were also working on and adjusting many other features at the SAME time!
Many of those did make it in release and stand as some of the best Modding to roll down the pike for SH3!
Not just work by GWX Dev's, but others also!
It was a fascinating time!
One I'm proud to have been a part of.
Now a simple quiz.
What was the First released mod with animated people not in the original SH3?
