FS#458 - Greeting while sitting
When sitting, I think it should be possible to greet someone without standing up. It is a bit awkward to be sitting, and then stand and wave at someone and sit back down. I’m not sure if it is hard to implement the “wave” action while sitting, but that is what I think the effect should be. Just sit and wave. If you don’t think that “/greet” is appropriate while sitting, then perhaps just implement a visual “/wave” that can work when standing or sitting, although the only difference between the two are the system message.
It is difficult. As far as I understand this requires either a whole new animation of the char sitting and waving, or combining the two animation. THe last is not possible with the current system for animations (cal3d) or it is possible but requires more work to use.
Anyway, this is a feature request, so setting it to new. Devs will see what to do with it then.
Also changed category to animation.
This is indeed possible to do this with the current animation framework. A quick-n-dirty fix can be accomplished by replacing the greet animation files inside your characters.zip-file by the following ones: http://www.faramann.net/greets
Note: these are not polished and ready for more than proving that it is possible.
If Trymm has some basic custom animation files, then perhaps the animation team can use them as starting points and can "polish" them and add this into the full game for everyone to enjoy?
It is indeed on my list of things to do. ;)
Excellent! I look forward to this, as well as the other things on your list. :)
Arianna, since Trymm is working on this, should it be assigned to him?
Fix committed for some races. Others will follow as time permits, but requires new animations.
I think Trymm as developer can assign it to himself if he was working on it
Actually, I am unable to assign bugs. ;)
I just saw that Arianna could fix that in 5 seconds (took me 7 seconds to not fix it, cause I shouldn't :) )
marking this in progress as steps toward this has been started but might take sometime before players get to see the changes
adding talad as assignee
I am not working on this.
moving back to assigned
I am happy to see that some races are able to wave while sitting, though it is still rather awkward for the enkis. :p
Problem still exists in PSU 0.7.20
