Adding animations to game?

Hi,

I was wondering without the source code of a game is it possible to add additional animations to a game? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is possible to add animations without needing the source code.

'Adding' animations is an art asset process; meaning create the sequences you desire in your modeling/animation application and export them to the supported formats[DTS/DSQ/DAE].

Then you will need to 'script' the animations to play at specific times when needed.

Read up on the TSShapeConstructor object in the Documentation. It is a 'scripting' side object that 'assembles'/constructs the art shape with sequences. You can 'script' without having the C++ files, so even without it; you can create gameplay and control your art assets outside of hard coded animation callbacks.

Good luck and don't hesitate to ask for help!

@Rex: Would you be interested in helping me out? I could offer you a paid price for this project?

I just need a few animations added/scripted into the game in question.

Thank You,
Chris
