Call of Duty 2 Play Animation

[filthy_freak_]

One issue your going to run into if you use custom animations;

If the player joined a previous server before joining yours without relaunching, the playeranim.script file located in the mp folder will not be reloaded. This is bad because for custom animations to load, they need to be added to that file. This isn't fixable even with libcod.

That being said, you can use libcod to do what your describing. See http://killtube.org/showthread.php?2...etAnim(string)
You can move bots with moveTo() (stock function) or you can use http://killtube.org/showthread.php?2...t-amp-grenades if you wish to move bots without them clipping through objects.

If you wish to see a bot server currently using the libcod custom animation method - check out 5.9.90.148:28960/199.233.246.208:28960 (1.0) or 5.9.90.148:28962/199.233.246.208:28962 (1.3).

Correct me if I am wrong, but the playeranim.script file is a server file. It is not a client file. The server will use the one on the server - not the one in the client's files. So, it doesn't matter where the client has been before he gets to the server, the server will load its files on the player as soon as he connects.

The playeranim.script might be loaded, but the client does not parse/cache it on rejoin. When a client connects to a server it caches a list of ALL animations the server uses. Death animations, first person animations, world animations are all stored into a client side array. This doesn't get reset/reloaded when joining another server. I can't think of a better way to explain it. If you want to test, run the meatbot mod, join a regular server, chill for a minute and then join the meatbot server. It will kick you and return an error similar to "Unknown token: bot_stand" due to the anim files not being reloaded.

I'v spent some effort attempting to fix it, and even found the source of the problem. Problem is the issue is client-side, so cannot be patched using libcod.

I didn't know about that. So, thanks for the info. It never ceases to amaze me that even after 10 years of modding, there is still something to learn.
