New Idea: Emotes

[Crow72]

I think it would add a little personality to the game if we could add emotes, and I'm not talking little smileys over player's heads. I'm talking, character's flipping off specimens, doing short dances, saluting, things of this manner. I admit it's a pretty big job to tackle just to do these trivial animations but I would love to see this idea come to life. It could make RPG videos a little more...For lack of a better term, real. But I digress, what do you think?

 

[ro_sauce]

gotta do the animations and then add the coding (do the ut2k4 player taunts work in kf?)

If this allows me to flip of the patty as my law rockets his skull, i approve

 

[Yomommassis]

Lol this reminds me of the old Killing Floor mod
you could smack your a$$
point at the specimens, then motion to slit the throat
do a humping motion

great times lol

 

[ro_sauce]

the old anims are still there, and the old models.
dont know if they'll work with the new models.

 

[YoYoBatty]

The new models have completely different rigs, you'll have to redo the animations from scratch.

 

[Crow72]

Well if you know anybody that could acomplish this task, please forward the idea

(Imagines all the inappropriate behavior if we ever get female models + emotes...)

USELESS FEATURE.

I love it.

I think it'd make the game more silly, like TF2 (I assume that's where this idea came from? ).

 

[EricFong]

The original came out before TF2, right?

What? I was referring to the idea of taunts, not the game itself.

The original mod had taunts though. Eric was wondering if the original mod was out before TF2. You're missing the point or not reading posts above yours.

No, the idea did not come from TF2, I was just sitting around and thought to myself, "What if we had emotes?" and so I thought I'd present the idea in the hopes that someone could accomplish this feat

lol, everyone who has browsed through the old animation included with the new kf has thought about getting the taunts in. unfortunately you'd have to make new ones for the new models.
i think you can do this using umodel+actorximporter for 3dsmax, it includes the rigs on export/import.
someone who's good at it, can do the animations. then modify the main pawn.uc to add in the taunt commands.

I know someone who's "good at it", however he may or may not have the time to get round to getting it done.

I will ask though

lol, is it sorrow?

Thank you oh so much I really hope he has the time for it
