[Question] Info on changing Bow/gun-shooting animation / weapon swings?

[Violence]

Hey everyone!

I've checked around on this forum for quite a long time now, and I've been remodeling my characters/weapons for almost 2 years. But there's still one thing that I don't know how to do, and which haven't been posted on this forum yet.

- Is it possible to change the animation of a Crossbow/Gun to the animation of a Bow?

Thanks!

My Orc male xbow->bow animationswap -> http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/-patch-8.mpq & then just a remodeled S3 Crossbow to the Bow from Hyjal, but my char is holding the bow in the wrong hand & it looks abit f.ucked ;/ But the animation itself WORKS.

So onto the following problem I'm desperately trying to solve now;

How do you change a weapon holding position? So that the character holds the Bow correct in the Left hand instead of the Right hand?

if i understand you right. you want to use the gun/xbow with a bow animation. if your using a private server you could change the entry for the item in whatever database files so that the game thinks its a bow. if you just want to do it for live...i would try either editing the item dbc (not sure if that would work) or model swap the gun in for a bow. I know when i used wowemu i had combined the weapon skills. xbow, gun and bow were the same skill. and they all used the bow animation. so i know you can do it but you are basically just trickin the game into thinking its a bow. your not actually altering any animations. or i think there was an option in cyrects m2modder for rearranging animations...but i never got it to work..in the itemdisplay.dbc you could copy an entry for a bow and paste it over the entry for a gun then just change the model and skins. then is might think its a bow...sorry i cant be more specific...good luck!

oh and i should add when i did it on a private server it didnt look right. the gun was held at an angle like a bow...up and down. to change that you might have to edit the m2 model and change the mount point for the guns orientation...i think. i have no idea how to help you there.

houseplant2; currently if you change e.g your Sunfury Bow to the Gladiator xbow, the model will ofcourse be right; but the animation won't. It'll still be shooting like a bow. The same thing happens if you want to remodel any fistweapon/dagger or whatever, to a Sword, then it'll look like the swordmodel you chosed; but it'll still be hitting like a fistweapon/dagger or whatever you chosed to edit ;)

Every way you try it, be it dbc/.m2 or anything, the animation doesn't change when you just edit the model. So it have to be some other place/file.

I've also tried changing alot in the itemdisplay.dbc, switching the parameters/numbers from bow>crossbow, but no luck so far.

Thanks for the post though ;) More replys now people ;>

sorry i guess i misunderstood. i thought you wanted your xbow\gun to use a bow animation...which would happen if you swap your xbow\gun into a bow...the animations could be swapped if you chaged the m2 file. swap the animation numbers in the file for bow and xbow\gun. but then it would be for every gun\bow\xbow...

That's exactly what I want ;) And no, the animation don't get swapped if you change the model, that's the point I'm trying to make here. If you swap your Bow to an Xbow, your character will _STILL_ be shooting in a Bow-animation, so it'll look ****ed up. Same thing will happen if you change your Fistweapons to swords, they'll look like the swords, but the swinganimation will still be from the Fists, so it'll look totally ****ed up here aswell ;)

Hopefully that cleared it up abit
