Maffegozer Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hello,A long time I am wanting to make animations for Emergency 4.But I haven't got a clue where to start, and how to make it, with what program..So anybody who can make animations.Please tell, or better... make a tutorial.PM also good.Regards, maffegozer.(don't think i'm a probie who has no modding skills, as I am modding for 1 year now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Probie? :(NCIS )AndFree shirts available now:OT:I have made a text for a tutorial. It's not simple, it's pretty advanced and it's not just telling what the animation should look like. You need to make the animation code itself manually. Zmodeler 2 and Microsoft Excel skills are REQUIRED. You also need to understand how a .v3o file looks like in WordPad (the D, P and A lines). I am working on a small tool for Microsoft Excel to make it a little bit easier, but I can't tell if or when I am going to release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffegozer Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hhehe, You watch NCIS too? isn't that McgeeOT:Uhm...I've got enough skills with Zmod2. Excel = Not hard... .v3o in wordpad is a other thing.But how about::But I haven't got a clue where to start, and how to make itormake a tutorial.Tho... thanks for some minor tips.EDIT:This is how it looks like at me with wordpad:ÓÀ7 % ,?ÈìxÚ´}뎹‘æ~=@g;y'ñ}QÏÓ7´º½»0£,U[5#U %u=O¿_ÉÌ“<çd‘ÖÀe%#ƒÁ¸|É?ÿéÛŸ¾ùƒúÔš¿üö7¿ûݳûîûÿøÝ·/þþõüï?Ü>þþÙ¯ßÜüþtûøþîáþ÷Ïì'ÏÂ'Ïô'Ïf<ÿìÕ¯7÷/o_}s{ÿËïŸ)<ûòîý»77ÿü?w÷¯þû÷ò¢<üæáÕí›?ÝÝþ7Q翼¸ùõö÷_ݽ¹Í~¼ýLJ_o?¿}}óëÝÃ/åMyþâ—¿½º[®ŸýôþöûLJÿü’žo¸øæöíÃã?3…nßßýÏí7·ï_ç'ôû«›—¨á§3þøâö~Á7·^?¼Ê/³`þ÷Ý«W·÷Ûgßß|xùúöýöá‹·^ßÝÿ=óôõëÏïnÊ[ß½ûp÷¶ðï<÷~‘õ‡å•53ËÓŸþtòŒZ}ñúöåe•RfõõÏî‰[...]³LE;¦â0S•©È¨Ur½R¨‹¦&çL],0yç‡7o~&ÿïJ×D»Á·‘‡9všÇ ì&§µÊ^ÕÞÕu‡uN«Jª„T$º€†ù¼gìÉ^-L¬Ö#V‹5ÉfÖRúùáá¢dX¯èLÊÇÉêìóÍ‘çs3ÃU4CÓHE¦bS©SISñ†©xÂT<ajœ65N›§Íj!fµìRã´©aØÔàljÈ6Þ6†Årv•VÂÆ>V¹q«^ýBù¦¢ãÍ©}<"9<sú¿ØP*.… 8Xg]&ó‘íc• ¬‰Ä*©:1]'(k?KP@Ös=d-ùl‹°Z=«ÒXl›çæQÚÇ#gWöat`_Ù>¢ÆóQí£Î¢M›ûLl ¤Æ>WrXV‘Ô8fjœ3umj35&šóLy¦ÆSc‰QÃÖ¨akX±+—^†ÅÖ¨bk¤°5RØJl0¶†[ƒ†qÉÖÈfküøü»ÿ‹ì"0ÎÌÉôµýö7ß®‡Mùßþæi`>MÊ}:“+z6:ÓgŸ¥O'[ž3äLŸz½@±ÿ ÿÿFile: Los Angeles Modification > Models > Persons > 03 LA Police > lapd_officer_f.v3o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 McGee's nickname is 'probie'. Are you sure you watch the same thing as me?That file is locked and person models do not contain animations. The animations of the persons are based on a bone system which cannot be changed, so you cannot make new person animations. Seems like you don't know much about the modding system in Emergency 4 after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martjuh.denB Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 ther's a tutorial but it is in germanand maffegozer i know that you can't talk or read any german.(why are we talking english if we are all dutch?^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 (why are we talking english if we are all dutch?^^)Because this is in the English Modding and Mod help section. You have to speak english in the EN Sections of the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LACityFFengineCo287 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Cause speaking english is the language of success, we all learned that from Soviet Russia not learning English, but, somehow they still exist... Anyways, I'm interested in this. If you can find a way to make your own animations, please, let me in on it, lol! And everyone thinks Abby rocks on NCIS btw. Even my grandpa thinks that.

pyrothijs Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 yeah, well, how does this help me now...You can use an online dictionary, German and Dutch have a lot of words in common. You can make it somewhat understandable simply by translating the words you don't know. You can alwauys try google translator (but in my experience that usually makes it worse in stead of better).

Luisinho Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I like CSI better than NCIS... No way! NCIS is much better...

Hoppah Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I can happily announce I am working on a better animation tool. It's still in Excel, but has a few great improvements to make making animations much easier. That doesn't mean it's going to be easy though. More information later.

Maffegozer Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hoppah, What is the tool going to look like (don't want to sound impatient) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 In simple words, you still need to make the animations manually. But Excel offers features to make calculations between large amounts of data. Using VBA (Macro's) I made buttons to import and export .v3o files, Excel does the calculations and can export the new animation to a text file.
