Can''t have female bartenders, traders, etc...

Fri Mar 21, 2003 11:55 am by Dustin Evans

While making a new base in my new star system I noticed that if you select a bartender, trader, equipment seller, or ship dealer to be a female that the character is all twisted up when you're not talking to them. This doesn't happen with any of the NPC besides these though.

I don't understand why the game would treat the male/female models differently for these roles but not for the other npc roles.

To Kanehart: Congratulations! You just deserved the price for the most useless comment of this day!

Anyways, I think it has to do with the animations of some sort. Maybe there's a variable that changes that.

ok, that kinda sux. having a female bartender would be good. and umm, if i'm not mistaken, being sexist would mean NOT wanting bartenders/traders of a certain sex?

All NPC are describe in the "mbase.ini" in the mission folder.

i'm not sure what you mean with twisted up, but i'd suspect that it has something to do with the "animations", that the game uses a special Idle animation for those, and that the female models don't have "the right joints in the right spot"

(mbase.ini - that's what I'm using)

When I say twisted up I mean specifically:
- Arms look like they're inside their body.
- Uppertorso has some kind of clockwise rotation at one point but the rest looks fine.
- The neck also has a rotation about the midpoint making it look like the NPC's neck is actually broken.

Since I've only seen male bartenders, traders, etc. I'm assuming that the scripts are only for male bodies.

I'll try fooling around with that animation script entry and see if I can come up with a script that will make everything look correct.
