Ok i made an app just for you. This is the most i can do for you. Go download version 1.9 of my MES from HERE and look at the animation editor. This will help you in your quest to change your animation.

Not every thing can be handed to you in .mpq format but i have help you a great deal with this program as you dont have to hex edit.

Thanks ALOT for all your work

I've changed the Start Timestamp/End Timestamp for all three colums now, "0 - Stand" / "1 - BowPull" / "2 - BowRelease" in the .m2-file (Bow_2H_Crossbow_BlackTemple_D_01.M2 to be precise) to the numbers standing in a .m2 of a Bow-.m2.

But, I'm still not getting it to work, still shooting as a regular Crossbow;/ Guess I'm doing something wrong? Thanks.

You would change your Character and not the box =P.I dont know your race but say you are a human male "CHARACTER\Human\Male\HumanMale.m2"

Note:When you change the values it will swap the animation, now eather it will mess up is another thing. When i say mess up i mean the animation distorts and fly at the screen. Now 20% of the time it works(ya i know its low) when it doen't work its becuase of the other variables with the animation. Your best bet it to expermite with the values. such as repeating and radius. But only if it doent work.

Let me know if this works. and if it doent work let me know if you are able to fix and and how as i have done little work on animations and every little bit of info can help me further the work that i do.

Alright, guess I was abiiiit to tired to think that far ;)

Now I've been humping around with those values; first only by changing the Start Timestamp / End Timestamp from the Rifle- to Bow-animations, though by doing that I got as you described, that as you shoot, it flickers in the middle of the screen so that you can't see how the animation looks like.
So I tried changing all the values; Start Timestamp / End Timestamp / Radius (only ones that differ), and got the same thing here aswell.
I'll probably sit with this for a while now and try different things ;)

Thanks again for your work though, I've been searching for a solution to this for ages ;)

Ah crap, I'm stuck just before the finishline ; )

I've tried changing for every possible outcome of those parameters now, even tried with another race (being Orc as normal); but it's no difference. I'm just ending up getting the screen to flicker when it's supposed to shoot. Trying to get the Crossbow/Gun-animation to Bow-animation to work btw.

Anyone got an idea? Can't give up when it's almost solved now (!)

Ok i have some info im not sure if this is 100% accurate

It seams as if you can only swap the animation of stuff that uses the same number of bones in the animation.

Oh, so if that's true, I suppose that it ain't possible to change the animation from a Crossbow -> Bow then ;/

Reminds me of the Nogg movie where they mix up the animations, looks funny! Good luck in your quest! 2x+Rep (To get you out of leecher status) ;P

now just having the bow / gun as a 2h will be amazing =D
