Gliding Animation Mod?

[Flea]

I did a little searching around and I couldn't find anything that modifies the gliding animation without changing the mechanic altogether.

All I want is some kind of mod that changes it so my character isn't doing that "parachute drop" with their arms and legs out while they glide, but instead does something a bit more appropriate for a 'flying' feeling. Or at least something that closes their legs so I don't have to constantly see up-skirt shots of my character (or worse, black formless bumps where the model was never meant to be seen from that angle, such as in the "Madame President" outfit.)

Its something I've dealt with, so I suppose it isn't a big deal, but there are outfits I like that I avoid wearing because the gliding animation is so... inappropriate.

Anyone ave anything about this offhand? Maybe something I overlooked or a quick fix I can do myself?

If this is something you would like to see, but don't know where to get it, leave a reply here to let me know if this is something that has a future.

PS, does anyone else find the "blue glow" you get when you glide or power up a jump annoying?

As far as I know it isn't possible to mod the animations yet. They have plans for it in the SDK but that is far into the future. However there is one trick that I can think of to get around the "up the skirt" cam and that is to modify the camera settings. Try changing the settings in the camera_free.xtbl for the gliding activity and moving the camera forwards (closer to your character) so that you can only see from the waste up. Look in this thread http://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/camera-view-aim-over-the-head-please.3922/#post-34817 for some of the details on the camera settings.

Thanks! This should be a pretty good work-around for it in the meantime. I heard people talking about the release of SDK, but I'm not a modder, so I have no idea what is and isn't possible yet. I'd still like to see support for something like this, but I'm ready to cool my heels and enjoy the "Gat Goes to Hell" DLC when it comes out to tide me over.

Again, thanks a bunch!
