Hand signals

I was watching Band of Brothers again and was wondering if anyone has ever made a hand signal mod ??

I know it wouldn't be serverside - but would be cool for tacticlal play to be able to signal back and forth to someone near by.

Defo cool, but I fear it would be undoable

(for AI it is doable)

couldnt it be done with something like custom weapon tiks?

maybe it wouldnt be realism hand signals - but the player could select from a set of commands - and you would see the player hold up a card with a number or letter on it.

Since the sever only knows when the player uses the fire button or the use key don't see how you would do it .

There is no practical means of doing this unless EA releases the source code, which is never going to happen.

I know I've seen some voice chat menu server side mods that change the voice chat menu. Instead of "Where are you Hiding", it says Get your a## out from under that rock and come die! It also said some stuff more related to our clan like our secret locations talk. Instead of "Good Job team", "Died Alpha Long" and such.

That's a cheap trick of changing the localization entries.

well is there a way to add hand signals to the voice thing like insted of the guy shouting follow me he dose a hand signal or both

to add these signals it would need to be added to the source coding of the game, which isnt and probably won't ever be released.

and no, animations for MOH aren't full-body, usually. the "follow me" animation is a mouth movement only, you cant change that without messing the game up seriously.

it can't be done.

I don't even think the mouth moves.

Because it doesn't. Only actors ever open their mouths.

Can't you just switch the player messeges around so that when you say "follow me" it also executes a coustom animation?
