1st and thanks chadz!

[Tydeus]

I'm highly interested in feedback on the animation optimizations. This will likely affect weapon balance, so feel free to explain any differences you guys notice.

Going to post this here so more people can see it.

It looks exactly the same, but if you use the appearance of the animation(how far your arm has extended) as an indicator for when to hit your opponent, you'll likely have to spend a little bit getting used to the change.

That is the sweetspot for all thrusts in crpg, it's paired with a line for how far the arm has extended to its maximum length(in %) for the native 1h thrust animation(what we currently use). Notice anything funny? The sweet spot and the arm extension don't line up at all, they're entirely separate. Not only that, but the point where your arm is fully extended falls completely outside of the sweetspot. This means a perfectly timed 1h thrust will only result in ~60% of the maximum range the animation can provide. So I simply optimized the animation's progression so that the arm starts extending earlier in the animation, allowing you to utilize its full potential. It should "feel" like it doesn't glance as often at max range. The polearm thrust was somewhat like this, too, just not nearly as out of place.

Edit: I just want to mention that even with native sweetspots, the animation progression still doesn't fit, so this isn't a problem created by cRPG. It was created by TW not giving a shit.

Left side is damage/how far the arm has extended, bottom of the graph is the elapsed time (in %).

Very nice! Keep up the good work

[Fips]

Can't wait to see what tydeus and urist made for the barrel roll animation.

[Jarlek]

Change to 1h/pole stab and swing animations&sweetspots? Interesting.

[FleetFox]

Mines broken lol, i run cRPG and an error comes up D:

It says: Critical Error

ERROR: Unexpected End of File while reading file: Modules\cRPG\mission_templates.txt

hope this helps

[PoisonedTail]

No more backward overhead damage

[Erzengel]

Yep, game crashes directly after the start.

[okiN]

Yep, it crashes at the end of loading the game instead of launching menu.

"Unexpected End of File while reading file: Modules\crpg\mission_templates.txt"

[Sparvico]

Quick, patch the patch!

[Aljo]

Can't wait to see what tydeus and urist made for the barrel roll animation.
