Expand Resting/Running animations

[Daniel_R]

We currently have a couple of custom run animations available in the tailor - ninja run and beast run. These also have associated rest animations. As of the new patch notes for the upcoming Page 4 update, this will be expanded to two more.

 

It would be nice to expand this further. In particular there are a number of 'resting' and 'running' animations that are currently already selectable by emote, that would add a lot of flavour and variety to CoH. The variant Heroic and Villainous rest poses should be added, at the very least.

There is panther and coyote too

So there is.

 

Just to be clear - I'm suggesting extra "Rest" animations as much as alternate types of Run. So, we might end up with

 

- Run

- Run + Heroic Variant Pose

- Run + Villainous Variant Pose

- Ninja Run

- Ninja Run + Heroic Variant Pose

- Ninja Run + Villainous Variant Pose

- Beast Run

- Beast Run + Heroic Variant Pose

- Beast Run + Villainous Variant Pose

...etc

 

My ideal system would separate out the Resting animations and simply have you select your rest animation and run animations from a couple of dropdowns. This however, looks to be a pre-existing system with developed UI, so should (crosses fingers) be less work for our overworked volunteer dev team.

While we're at it, why not add the various /flypose emotes to the Stance system to use with Flight?
