How do I set the starting stance for a mod? I'm tired of everyone starting with arms out. I want a more fighting stance to start the game.

Yeah, I would like to know this as well, like what they did for grapkido.

Thanks for the tip!

yeah thanks

Ok, this is MUCH harder than it should be.

I had to basically reverse hack at a replay to determine the positions (POS and then got stuck on the fact that in the replay they use quadrants instead of x,y,z radians for their angles.

Sigh.

So now I am back to basically square 2. I need a way to figure out how to get those four values for each part to three for degrees for the Mod.

In addition the replay doesn't show positions for the JOINTS... as these are calculated on the fly.

You just need to specify the location and rotation for all the joints and body parts, It's a pain in the ass.

relax all for one, just do what you would do in real life.

yes im saying practice what you want to do in person, see what joints you move.

I think you're missing the point.

When I practice Judo we started in a very specific posture. In aikido the same. Various forms of Kung Fu have their own starting positions. Boxing had a fairly standard starting stance.

Making a mod where tori and uke start in these positions is extremely hard. They almost always (with a few exceptions) start with their arms out straight in in the Toribash "T" formation. Some people know how to use this to their advantage in clapping attacks and shoveling and I feel these are all valid game tactics, but by allowing new starting positions we would allow new tactics and strategies to emerge from mods.

We aren't saying that you can't get to any position in Toribash, but spending any of the first 50 ticks getting to that position puts you are a huge disadvantage and takes away from the experience.

Actually... i love the idea, very worth trying out, wish i could help you there, and as u progress, update.
