Mount Bow attack delay fix

January 7, 2011 2:09 PM from

This is a fix for the delay when using a bow while mounted, also takes out the delay when casting or using a special ability while mounted also.

Works with all extra mount mods that I know of.

Read First!!!!!!!: Does NOT work as a mod!

Instructions: BACKUP and then overwrite your original \Elemental War of Magic\data\Animations\MonsterAnimationPacks.xml.

The problem is that I can't override the core MonsterAnimationPacks.xml with a mod no matter what I try, I can only add new animations. So the only mod workaround won't work with current or future mount mods. Maybe someone else can figure out a way to make change the file through a mod, but for now, I can't stand the delay to the point where none of my characters with a bow ever use a mount in-game.

Just wanted to say thanks for fixing this, it was freaking annoying. How did you generate the new animations? Maya or just XML changes?

This is a really bad idea for an installation process. Instead of modding the animation pack, have you tried to add a new animation pack and mod the units themselves? I know this is a lot more work but it is a cleaner and safer way of doing the desired modification.
