Description



(Aside the image that can appear misleading, I'd suggest to focus more on the description than focus on the image, because it's all the description the meaning of everything).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since how I understood how to export animations from SFM, I always looked for something that could help me and other people to use them in the own models, without difficult and above all, without messing with .QC settings.
Given the great abundance of animations done by several users the last year and in the previews years too, I wondered "Is there a way to put all the animations inside one model, and using it as "puppet-line", and avoiding in this way to mess up and (or) even accidentally with the .QC settings, and at the same time, to avoid to re-compile the model (or models) when a new animation comes out?"
The answer it was a bombastic yes.
After some experiments, I discovered that the TF2 and HL2 characters use an "apparently and useless" model, and that is used as "puppet-line" in the .QCs, and in this way the models can always have animations and updated ones too, without either re-compiling the same models (ALWAYS about animations, just to be clear twice), and so I used the space occupied by the sequences used by ponies, with just one line.
Now, the sequences that once would have occupied a great part of the .QC
they occupy just a line .
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess that some of you could write "Why didn't you make another kind of image?". I tried, but I wanted something unique, and that could attract people (and I hope to have make a good image this time, and I thank :iconsketchmcreations: to have helped me with the idea and the image itself too).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, going back about this "puppet-line", this is an important update for all the pony models, because in this way we can always have the animations updated and plus it's possible add them (in case if some new ones should come out) without re-compiling the pony model, but just re-compiling the main animations model file, and sparing a lot of time (and a lot of erros probably).
I made some source files too, in case someone wants to try this new "improvement", that there is always in the file that is in the link.
Plus, I made some animations file models too, in which there the animations that my source pack has (and to which I put credits, just to remember), plus new ones, of which mainly come from :iconpsfmer: (and I had a bad time to settle them, but I liked them so much, and I so put effort and I settled them in the best possible way), and other ones from other users of which I don't remember the name, because the animations that I put were on my SFM folder since several years, and so if someone recognizes some of them, write it.
The models animations files that I made are compatible for:
*enhanced pony models (males and females);
*my source pack, the one made by Aeridic [DL/Sourcefiles] Enhanced Mares DMX Kit and his other male pack (and unfortunately, now both packs are GONE), the one made by Nankha Overhaul Pony Source Files;
*standard ponies (V4 ponies), above all for people that still thinks that maths is an opinion.
I put in my source pack some .QCs with already the "puppet-line", so you can see what I mean.
If you need help about how to the animations files in Gmod, the tutorial is here
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Models that actually work with this animations file:






[DL] FNAP Mane Six Enhanced Version
[DL] Enhanced male ponies


Future packs (and or models) that will work with that:

[DL] Polymorph Ponies V1



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will keep updated these files, with new animations and to fix what it needs to be fixed.
If you have problems, let me know.
Hope you like it.
