i am just worried it might involve a lot of programming stuff >_<
Actually, it's not all that difficult to do with the right import and export scripts (written by other modders in the community). The rest is just text editing once the model and animations are done. The good thing about this series of RTS games is that most soldiers share the same skeletons, so that the animations are interchangeable with some exceptions involving animals or special units.
The two-handed swordsmen shown here uses a heavily modified animation of the two-handed axemen that came with the vanilla game, so it was not completely done from scratch. The same is for all the models that I have made - they are based on premade models so compatibility is not much of a problem.
That is to say things would be different since we will be using a completely different engine. >W<
Anyway I must attend to the exams again, so it would be a while before the team hears back from me.
Rant: Damn landline phone providers... their services barely worked to begin with and now they are increasing the pricings.
