> > My best friend and I have started work on our own MOD for RA2. We can now make new tanks and planes and such but anyways, we are lost on the infantry. We are not sure how to make our own infantry. The code part we can do but the actual infantry skins and animations are another story. Can anyone help? We've heard something about taking a Quake 2 model and transferring it to the game. Anybody know anything about that? Thanks for any help. It is greatly appreciated. Later.

> Pretty much all I know is that infantry are .shp files (you have to make a sequence of frames for EVERY movement) and you have to have something around 500 frames (at least). They are hard to make. You could ask someone else to do it though... (not me).
And after you have those frames, you have to map them to ingame animations (through Infantry Sequences) and then attach them to an infantry unit. Getting the frames and connecting them looks like a lengthy job to me, I've never done it personally (to much artwork to make).
