[SA] - Weapon Animations?

[Draco122 412]

I dont exactly know what the element of the animation work has been done in the Standalone but I'd thought I'd ask anyway. One of the major let downs I think of the ARMA II DayZ mod, in addition to ARMA II itself, is the lack of animations it provides in terms of weaponry and equipment. Even down to idle animations.

Majority of the time, your merely loading an invisible magazine into a static weapon model that never changes. Is it at all possible to have better animations to the weapons from games like Counter Strike Source, Battlefield, Metro 2033 and STALKER.

This way more details can be shown when in first person or even third person view and in my opinion it would show a far more polished product. Perhaps even give a reason to use first person in 'casual' modes

Some examples:

Counter Strike Source

Metro 2033 (the idle animations makes an important option in immersion and the amount of polish that went into the game)

Stalker (SHOC and Clear Sky)

Battlefield 3

Red Orchestra 2

[Steak and Potatoes 13480]

I think the animations will improve vastly compared to their current state.

moving bipods please

Yes exactly, simple animations is something I'm looking forward to, attention to detail most of all. Bipods moving, slings moving, maybe some idle animation, reload check, ammo check, weapon malfunctions, unjamming a weapon etc
