Basically, as minh said, your player is running with a speed that is 24

you want it to be 1.0 when running forward. If it is at 1.0, then that

Re: [hlcoders] Player animation after major change in codes.
Off the top of my head ( don't have the codebase here at work ), you
should decrease the values rather than increase them, since these are the
values used to compare against the actual players' speed, which is
calculated elsewhere. However, if you say nothing's changed maybe your
problem is elsewhere; if you increase them e.g. with a factor 2 I'd have
expected the move_x to be 0.12 rather than 0.24. Still, you should debug
your code and see why move_x is at 0.24; it's your main problem.

Re: [hlcoders] Player animation after major change in codes.
At full forward you'd want your weight of the forward anim to be 1.0. It's not the weightlist, those modulate the weight per bone afterwards, the problem here is sooner. It's related to eg blendwidth 3 blend move_y -1 1 blend move_x 1 -1 loop in your qc. The next step in your debugging is seeing why the weight of the anim is 0.24. You should look at the move_x pose parameter. Similarly, you want it to be 1.0 when running forward. If it is at 1.0, then that means you should look at your .qc values and you're doing something wrong there. If it is not at 1.0, which I expect (it's probably at 0.24 itself), then you should indeed look at your runspeeds and how the move_x poseparam is computed. Either modify your move speed, or modify the calculation of the move_x parameter so it reflects what you want. hth, -- Maarten -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] when i press W run forward, the weight is 0.24, so i guess thats where the problem lies? how do i change the weights?

Not only the jump animation. The run animation is working, but not

The animation is supposed to be a run, but when WASD is pressed,
the
animation in game is just taking small steps.

Re: [hlcoders] Player animation after major change in codes.
your blendwidth parameters are default.
Look at the same output of cl_showanimstate 1. At the bottom it should
show you your move_x pose parameter, I suspect it's at 0.24 too.
Then look in the code why it is at 0.24. I'm not sure where it's
calculated ( in the engine ? ) but based on a comment line it looks like
it's a division of your current speed and
CBasePlayerAnimState::GetCurrentMaxGroundSpeed().
Basically, as minh said, your player is running with a speed that is 24
percent of what your code says is it's maximal speed. Fix that, and the
anim should play properly. [ Look at the implementation of
GetCurrentMaxGroundSpeed() if I'm not mistaken, there's some constants in
there you may want to modify for your mod ]

Re: [hlcoders] Player animation after major change in codes.
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hmm.. you might try investigating this function Activity CSDKPlayerAnimState::CalcMainActivity() It returns what activity to play based on certain parameters. Make sure that it's returning the activity you want it to.. You can do this by adding a code break, or you can do this by spitting out a message to the screen to determine what activity is being returned. This is how I spit out messages to the screen. engine-Con_NPrintf ( iLine, %i, idealActivity ); iLine is the line on the screen where it will spit out. I think valid values range from 0 - 60. idealActivity is the activity number.

Re: [hlcoders] Player animation ?
Thank you both for finally replying to this specific question-- there
have been two threads (that I know of previously) that dealt with this
same issue. =)

Make sure you are loading from the right *_animations.mdl animation
files. Both set of models should have the same animation and activity
names.
Other than that Major Boone speaks the truth. Using the Weapon's
activity translation table is the cleanest way to handle different
animations per weapon.

HL2DM player animation uses a different system than is in the sdk.
Basically you have a list of base sequences, preblended with 9-way aims
and 9-way runs - those are the aim animations and are called in game
code via activities ( why you see different animation names in combine
vs rebels ).
Shooting is done by adding the fire animation as a gesture over top of
the base sequence.
For Dod we're doing a hybird, with the activities on base sequence and
fire/reload/hand signal gestures over top, but non-networked like the
sdk does it to reduce net traffic.
I would recommend moving at least to using activities for your player
animations so avoid all the nasty string construction and comparing.
As far as your animations only playing the first and last frame, this
function doesn't appear to be causing that. I would check with a a
different model/sequence to see if it's a problem in your model.

I'm trying to get player animation working with some non-CS models.
Specifically, I'd like to get animations working with the models used in
HL2DM. I used model viewer to load up the combine models from HL2DM and
some of the resistance models from HL2DM.
Not only are their animations totally different from CS, they're
different from each other. The combine models have different animations
than the resistance models. I've been working on converting the
animation names in sdk_playeranimstate.cpp to call the animations in
combine_solder.mdl, which I think is the one used in HL2DM.
I've run into some problems with this though.
First off, there's doesn't seem to be any walking or running shooting
animations. There are animations like ShootSGs, ShootSGc, ShootSMG1s,
ShootSMG1c, etc but there's no walk_upper_mp5 or run_upper_mp5 like in
the CS models. There doesn't seem to be any animation to be running and
shooting at the same time.
Second, the animations seem to only play the first frame and then stop.
For example, I changed CalcFireLayerSequence to look like this:
int CSDKPlayerAnimState::CalcFireLayerSequence(PlayerAnimEvent_t event)
{
// Figure out the weapon suffix.
CWeaponSDKBase *pWeapon = m_pHelpers-SDKAnim_GetActiveWeapon();
if ( !pWeapon )
return 0;
const char *pSuffix = GetWeaponSuffix();
if ( !pSuffix )
return 0;
// Don't rely on their weapon here because the player has
usually switched to their
// pistol or rifle by the time the PLAYERANIMEVENT_THROW_GRENADE
message gets to the client.
if ( event == PLAYERANIMEVENT_THROW_GRENADE )
{
pSuffix = Gren;
}
switch ( GetCurrentMainSequenceActivity() )
{
case ACT_PLAYER_RUN_FIRE:
case ACT_RUN:
//return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_RUN_NAME, pSuffix );
return CalcSequenceIndex( ShootSMG1s );
//FIXME: totally wrong
case ACT_PLAYER_WALK_FIRE:
case ACT_WALK:
//return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_WALK_NAME, pSuffix );
return CalcSequenceIndex( ShootSMG1s );
//FIXME: totally wrong
case ACT_PLAYER_CROUCH_FIRE:
case ACT_CROUCHIDLE:
return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_CROUCH_NAME, pSuffix );
case ACT_PLAYER_CROUCH_WALK_FIRE:
case ACT_RUN_CROUCH:
return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_CROUCH_WALK_NAME, pSuffix );
default:
case ACT_PLAYER_IDLE_FIRE:
//return CalcSequenceIndex( %s%s,
DEFAULT_FIRE_IDLE_NAME, pSuffix );
return CalcSequenceIndex( ShootSMG1s );
//FIXME

Using Matt's suggestions, I was able to get a HL2DM model animating in
my code. Turns out I was in fact loading the wrong model animations
file.

This is interesant. Can we use the HL2DM models in the SDK?. What is the
correct way to do?, cloning the HL2DM weapons to the SDK and using the
animation layer sequences of the HL2DM??.
Looking in the Model viewer, a lot of models have the weapon activity
sequences, like GMAN. Can we use this model with the SDK, for example?.
This code is the correct way to do the animation sequences??. Can you post an

I've set my player model to be combine_soldier. When I spawn in third
person and watch my player model, if I run along start shooting it looks
like it plays only the first frame or two and then immediately goes back
to idle/jittering. If I'm running, it looks even worse since each time I
fire it looks like it restarts the ShootSMG1animation but there's no
blending between them so it looks all jittery. Has anyone had any luck
getting this to work?
