Sheath For Swords&Daggers/Walking Animations Request

[Absolutionist]

Is it possible, perhaps, for new anims and possibly a 'sheath' model for swords and daggers to be made?

By walking anims, I mean walking with the character's hand resting on the pommel of a sword, or arms crossed, or etc? Some variation of it, at least?

And by a sheathe, I mean... well, a sheath.

... I want the server back.

We can only do what spells are in the server. If you know or find one that is like that, then we could possibly turn it into an item.

If not...We can't. :C

I would check the wow model viewer to see if an animation exists altogether. If it's not a part of the game itself, I don't think it'll be close to possible. Not to shoot it down.

Probably the closest you'd get is a skin of a weapon that appears to be a sheath, however, I've never seen one personally.

[Drak]

To my knowledge there is no other way, unless someone can hack into the game and somehow able to modify the codes and models itself which would take very long and might be difficult. Sorry :/

If you look very hard, you might find a custom patch with something similar. Keep in mind that you'll be the only one seeing this change. Also keep in mind that doing this on a folder for retail WoW is -not- a good idea. Blizzard will hate you for it.

I would suggest you scour the addon sites for visual mods that add something along these lines. If something looks really great you can suggest that the server add it to their data so everyone will have the visuals.

In game Addons can't do stuff like this. It would have to be an animation already in the game, or a custom patch.

Well it would be more like a skin item. For instance, you take a cape but instead of a cape you make it a simple black tube at the same angle and width of your sword. (Mind you I do know how long and how annoying that would be to make, but it's just an example). I wouldn't make it an animation, but more of a belt or cape option. (Again, good luck finding something like this or making it. I would do so myself, but I don't have programming skillz.)

[Harmonic]

Thing is, it'd have to be an existing skin. They aren't fond of adding "custom" patches to the server, and none of them are really in the field of skinning items.

It's not as simple as you make it out to be. "A simple black tube at the same angle and width as your sword" means being able to animate it, something that'd most likely require some sort of editing program along with a way to import it into the game... again, something I've -never- seen done on CoTH, and have heard multiple times from people as being something they have no desire of doing.

If there was an existing item like this, it may be possible, but again, it probably wouldn't be something that fits every sword, considering all the vast shapes and sizes. It's a nice idea, just not possible without some already existing item and spell that fits the category.

[Cressy]

Yeah, while we are willing to make items that will be able to show existing spells, we won't be coding or creating new items for sheaths.

[Dae]

If you're dead-set on the idea of a sheath item, there might be an existing item that could give the impression of such a thing in the shields, wands, and off-hand frills sections that (maybe???) could be set to be worn as a weapon that rests on the back when sheathed. That's all I could hypothesize as ever possible, I'm afraid.
