incorrect run animation

[Arcturus]

You can see in test/idle_animations.map that city watch NPC while running uses run_charge.md5anim instead of run.md5anim. That doesn't seem right.

[Springheel]

Armed characters use run_charge. Unarmed ones should use run.

[Arcturus]

Yes, unarmed NPCs run with one of their hand not moving.

[Springheel]

Which one specifically? Is there is an unarmed citywatch in the animations map?

[Arcturus]

atdm:ai_citywatch and atdm:ai_guard_thug

[Springheel]

Am I missing something? There is no unarmed citywatch character as far as I know.

[Arcturus]

Their right hand doesn't move

 

[Springheel]

Yes, the def_attach code can't tell whether the sword is in their hand or on their belt. As long as they have a weapon attached, they'll use run_charge. Although they don't usually run without drawing their weapon first.

[Arcturus]

Is it on bug tracker?

[Springheel]

Not that I know of.

[Arcturus]

Alarmed archer when running with bow drawn, currently plays run.md5anim. He holds the bow in his left arm (that has been changed recently?). I noticed bow clipping into the body and started to fix that. But now I think that alarmed archer should use run_torch.md5anim instead.

[Springheel]

use run_torch.md5anim instead.

 

Yes he should.

Yes, the def_attach code can't tell whether the sword is in their hand or on their belt. As long as they have a weapon attached, they'll use run_charge. Although they don't usually run without drawing their weapon first.

 

This is fixed in 1.08.
