Sparrow unit - Doesn't work

[Eddaweaver]

I want to use the sparrow unit.
It is broken in the tags and so flies sideways etc. Is there somewhere I can find a fix for this?

TFV's Updated Sparrow

That's a fixed version.

Thanks, that works. They also seem to look alot better if their size is reduced to 0.500 in the object tag.

yeah, i bet. I always thought it was weird that they were the same size as the hawks.

Yeah they're a bit too large by default. It's the rapidly flapping wings and blockiness which becomes really annoying very quickly though. Reducing their size makes them look much better. Probably this is why so few have used the sparrow; changing units' sizes is isn't something that's done very often.

The gliding has always been the thing that put me off personally about them, I watch sparrows everyday flying outside my window and they're always flapping rather than gliding.

Urm, not wanting to be picky, but I fixed it, not TFV, it even has a sequence in it saying so =S

The main problem with the sparrow is that for some reason the images were imported the wrong way around, and it had no death sequence/projectile. So I had to make do with the images there, had to change most of the images a little just to get the really god-awful flapping sequence, hence the abundance of gliding, it looks horrible otherwise =)

I never understood why such a tiny unit with no real time requirement never got finished, it would have been about a 10-15 minute job since they already had the 3d model.

Oh sorry Hara, I wasn't aware it was you that fixed it (Gray added it to TFV, and I extracted for Edda just now...).

[Eddaweaver]

I think it's meant to be a swallow despite being named sparrow. There's a swallow in the strings section of the tags.

Would that be FixedSparrow.zip Hara? It didn't work for me.

kk Horus, np =)

@eddaweaver
Yeah, but there's different versions of that floating around, what exactly do you mean it didn't work? The link Horus gave is the same though, so you can use that just as easily, just drop the tags in with your project and you're good to go.

Didn't work as in crashed Loathing and Myth II. The TFV one works fine.
