Change running animations to the "aiming and walking" animation?

[topeira]

hi guys.

 

curious if this is possible and someone is interested in doing this -

is it possible to make the character move with his weapon raised (the same way he's moving when you aim and walk) but when NOT aiming?
instead of jogging with his hands empty all the time he will move with his weapon raised for a few seconds after you stop aiming.

 

so in practice - you move and jog regularly (empty hands) , tap aim or aim for a while, then let go of the aim and the character will still have his gun rised for about 5 seconds or until you sprint. same with crouching.

 

 

is this possible?

there is something so "not militant" in running with empty hands. no soldier will put his weapon aside like this in reality. it annoys me.

also the fact that when you take cover you also drop you weapon to the side is amateurish.... though im not sure how this could be fixed since i doubt there is animation that can function when behind cover like that.

I have no idea how to actually do this but ive noticed that the soldiers you come across will walk holding their weapon in their hands so maybe you could swap those animations. AND im SOOOOOOO HAPPY SOMEONE ELSE THINKS THAT RUNNING NOT HOLDING HIS WEAPONS IS STUPID I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THE MOVEMENT ANIMATIONS SHOULD BE LIKE THE OLDER METAL GEAR SOLID GAMES

It's unknown how to swap/edit animation files. I tried playing around with them for a little bit a while ago, but the only thing I could accomplish is getting the game to crash. XD

i also found out that when you aim your gun and press up against a wall you lower your weapon and you can still move but you cant sprint(at least AR's and Pistols i haven't checked other weapons. i looked around the animations that i extracted but i don't think it extracted all of them i also looked in the lua files but im not sure if there was anything in there. i cant tell by the names.

 

if there was a way we could find out how to swap out those animations with the walking and sprinting, or at least find out what controls the lowering. Also the lowered weapon movement is similar to the same thing in mass effect 3.

 

Well just thought i'd post this info
