First Person Sprites animation mod

[thenameisthegame]

So something that feels stiff for a game of the time still, I found, and more noticeable nowadays in DFU is how your weapon sprites are very much still when you move or look around. I thought maybe we could have it 'jerk' a bit or do full-on ∞ loops as we run around and move with camera motion... with a mod perhaps?

The idea wouldn't even require resizing any of the actual sprites, although altering where they are positioned ''at rest'' would probably be needed as to prevent revealing, well, the 'end' of the sprite work. So the 'default' position would cut some of the sprites out, only to reveal the sprite entirely with certain sets of character and/or camera movements.

tl;dr: Think Doom and Duke Nukem 3D first person moving sprites.

I believe this will be done in a mod I3lessed is making for a long time viewtopic.php?t=3948

Not bad, I did look for something like this before posting but missed that bit! I quickly went over most of the bullet points thinking I had a good idea of what that mod was gonna be and clearly didn't notice that one about camera bobbing, my bad!

If anything, maybe now this is more of a camera movement-based and not just character movement-based bobbing that I can't see part of I3lessed's mod yet!

I am dropping an update now for my mentioned mod, and this one, among a number of big things, really redoes the hands so they are always moving between idle, bobbing, or attacking. I rebuilt the whole animation system again to allow this. Now, your hands will always have realistic movements with my mod.

That's really awesome! I have to try it out!
