Congratulations, but you will need to ask Uthum for the node skeleton for the hippikontisai if we are to create more animations.

I think I have sent you the 3ds Max files for the mounted javelineer model and animations, though it was a while ago.

Unfortunately you only sent the bhas, if I remember correctly, which was why we could not reproduce Uthum's work. Besides, you will need to wait a while because I am doing research for Rise of Kings' crossbow cavalry - I will let you know once I get any results, but I can say that nothing looks very promising right now.

Finally figured what is wrong - the mesh for the light cavalry unit given by bh3 has an unwrap UVW modifier embedded in it, so it is impossible to unwrap because it is permanently hard-coded into it.

It seems that your Greek cavalry units will take much longer than expected, I'm afraid; I accidentally destroyed my own model and need to make a new one :(

Description

The original Rise of Nations has no animations for a mounted javelineer type unit. This was a problem for us, because in the Hellenistic Era there were numerous mounted javelineer units such as the Numidian skirmisher cavalry. So to solve this issue, Uthum has created new animations allowing units to properly throw javelins from horseback. In this image the Hellenic hippakontistai can be seen using these animations.
