BOBDEFS - for creating weapon bob animations

[Ænima]

Let's assume that the standard Doom weapon bob animation works by changing the Ready state's sprite offsets according to a parabolic equation that was hard-coded by Id software.

Something like
y = x^2
(whereas the units are Doom pixels)

Now imagine being able to change that with the addition of a specialized lump, BOBDEFS.

Code: Select all

name= "Doom" // the base
equation= y = x^2
xspeed= 1.0 // scalar of original Doom value
xoffset= 0.0
delay= 0 // makes the weapon sprite "stay behind" when the player looks around

name= "Quake"
equation= x = 0
xspeed= 1.0
xoffset= 0.0
delay= 0

name= "Doom3"
equation= y = 0
xspeed= 2.0
xoffset= 0.0
delay= 2

name= "Lacrosse Stick"
equation= y = x^2
xspeed= 2.5
xoffset= -16
delay= 0

Developers: Would this be difficult?

Already in, pretty much. You don't specify a custom equation, but there are several 'styles' to change from and the limits & speed are variable. Bit more info is on the Weapon page on the wiki.

FFFFFFF. How did I miss that! Ah well. That's cool, then. Guess I'll just wait for that to get backported to Zandronum!

Thanks.

i have a question, my plans for a mod is when the weapon is bobing, the first person view cannot do the same, the only way for the camera of the fps cannot move is when you use set movebob 0, but the weapon bob is afected too, my idea is separate this and only the weapon can use bob, but not the camera, is possible?

This is a separate feature suggestion. It would be better to create a new thread for it.
