I actually missed my earlier buses (been having the flu, got pretty bad today, so I'm acting pretty slow and clumsy today...
), so I got a bit of time to post here (darn, will be in the other place at 4 or 5 in the morning!
).
Sweeeeeeeeeet! Even the backpack and wrench have their own bones... Smiley
And the whole rig looks and feels very smooth. Cool
Thanks! 
No, thank
you!

K about the bon appetite, you're not supposed to eat the poor fellow. Cheesy
Darned dietists, telling me what I can and cannot eat! Angry
Oh by the way, put some garlic and soy sauce on him, then later exactly 34.8264893 seconds after you've eaten him you should have incredulous gas, and stink terribly, which should help with any burglar problems, and it'll drive you nuts if you're at work. Oh yes, you need to spread some lima bean sauce over the dwarfs mustache, then you'll he'll have a little less crunch when you eat his mustache. 
Actually, all meditaranean people (such as the Portuguese) eat garlic!
It's very healthy and actually adds a very nice flavour to your cookings!
Don't really know what the problem you britts and americans have with garlic! You usually attribute garlic eating to the French, whose cuisine I'm not really that familiar with... What, do the French actually eat like an whole garlic at once?
Sure, that would make you quite gaseous and smelly... In Portugal, we just cut one or two (depending on for how many you're cooking) minced "slices" of garlic, you don't even see it, in some cookings... It does add some nice flavour though.
I don't eat soy beans, but I do drink soy "milk" - you do know it's not healthy to drink milk after 2 years old, don't you?... (geez, now my Swiss side is bashing on me!
)
Anyways... enough OT!
One more thing, will be out of town from tomorrow til Monday. Pro'ly won't have Net access till then. Roll Eyes
Which also means the release should be after that, let's say March 10th. Wink
YES!!! You didn't hear that.
JK.
Yes,
I did!Now my question is: Why? Don't you like me?! Ooooooooooooooooh! Nobody likes me! :'( :'( :'(
No, really, is this completely OT too or did you just wrap up something important in OT?...
EDIT:
Clean Outrider .blend with no armature and no actions! Textures linked though Wink : http://www.mediafire.com/?lxx3mnqz1ey
I turned X-ray on on the Bone, but it didn't work.........an imported G3D please......
What do you mean?... It doesn't have any rig! I deboned it, it's all boneless now! I thought that was what you wanted...?
???
Geez, kids these days, won't eat ribs 'cause they're boney, won't eat steak 'cause it's boneless!
Well, we'll get to that imported after the first release, ok?
BTW, I did try and fix the Outrider (same-side always hypothesis above proved wrong, nothing left to do but giving the spear a better size) because I won't have time to animate it with your new rig (presuming you'd do it fast). But I haven't tested it ingame yet (only the side-test which of course I had to re-edit). So if anyone wants to test and provide feedback on the current attack animation (just check whether it aims at correct distance please, I already know it's bad! Tongue ): http://www.mediafire.com/?dzdlmj2d0hz
Let's take care of that when we have my new rig.
Final taking care of yes, but in the meantime... see bellow.
I think we should make a new release when we're ready and we've fixed the stuff you wanted to fix, <motherly mode>don't rush yourself</motherly mode>, or me for that matter.
Well, matter of fact that was my intention initially. But then someone (I think ulfid) asked when would a new release come out. And I gave myself one to two weeks time to actually wrap up what I'd done already in a somewhat better looking package (at least not too much worse than what wciow had already done).
Also, this will allow me to actually release a kind of sneak preview on where where going with this and get some feedback about that direction. I think it's important.
After that's done, we can get back to normal "release when coherent milestone reached" type of schedule. What do you think?
BTW, new animations might not even get to be in the first milestone's (following the first alpha) TODO list! The current ones aren't great but I think they're alright.
And I think it is more important, for actual gameplay, to fix
before:
- correct units-sizes/models/reaches/cellmaps (will try to make them all before the alpha but...)
- XML editing / faction balancing (will be spread along several milestones but it is important to be getting them done)
- team color adding to units that have none yet (won't even touch this yet in the first alpha!)
I know you like animating the most... that's why you're getting to do it ahead of time!
And 'cause you're very good at it too!
