Callistonian's Attachment Pack

Description
This mod contains an assortment of custom attachments (weapons, shields, etc.) for use by anim modders. Attention has been paid to historical accuracy for all historical weapons. These attachments are "high-poly" compared to most AoM attachments which are almost universally 8 polys (two perpendicular double sided planes). However, I have tried to keep a budget of under 100 poly/verts for all models and a hard limit of 200 (for reference, most mortal units in AoM are about 200 polys, myth units can easily be double that). All of these weapons have undergone stress testing with max graphics settings on EE and do not cause lag.

This is completely open source - I grant full permission to use any content in this mod in your own mods, you do not need to ask my permission before publishing and I leave it to you to give credit where it is due. Most of the textures originally came from Google Images but have been heavily modified. There is an included definitions anim file which you can import into your mod's anim files using the names provided (or you can call the BRG names directly, your choice).

This mod does not do anything to your game - I have made this specifically for anim modders, as requests, or as contributions for collab projects. I have released many of these weapons in individual mods that do actually change your game so if you're not a modder, please use those mods instead.

Attachments are probably the easiest bit of model work in AoM modding. I do take requests for these if I like your idea (orthographic reference images are very helpful).

This mod doesn't replace anything. It's a resource for other modders.

You can rotate the attachpoints in the fanatic .brg using AMP and 3ds Max 2020.

Ah, damn, that ones' attachments are altered rather than the unit's animations. What all do you need to rotate an attachment? I know Blender and Photoshop well enough, but as far as I know the Blender plugin isn't finished (and may never be).

I think I fixed the fanatic in the minor bug fixes mod.

These are great. I'll figure out a use for them. Do you by any chance have a version of the Fanatic that holds his weapons straight rather than perpendicular? I was trying to make him dual wield any 2 random weapons but as it turns out he holds them all sideways and axes really show it.
