Hey I'm looking for CMDR Reservoir's tutorial for Custom FP Animations, but the link on TheGhost's site is outdated and doesn't work. Does anyone have it/a link to it?

CMDR Reservoir's tutorial is very outdated, as it was released in 04-05'. I haven't seen it in almost 3 years. I should create a new tutorial on how to do it properly soon.
Use this one: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=1285
and copy paste these to your wordpad, then save it.
Note: (CtrlAltDestroy) JMA's have been changed to JMM because tool does generate data useless for first person animations when compiling JMA's. This information is called frame info, which is used for bipeds in walking, etc animations. (specifically, JMA generates dx and dy frame info). JMM, however, does not generate any frame info.

Cool, thanks. I've already tried Patrick's and failed twice, but I guess I'll try again.
Oh that'd be good. It's always nice to have multiple tutorials.I should create a new tutorial on how to do it properly soon.
Mine was based and was an improved version of CMDR's but it's very old and there are way better ways of doing it now.Originally Posted by seanthelawn
For the flashlight animations:
I cant remember, but I think when you turn on the lights in the assault rifle, he moves his hand to press the green power button on the left side of the rifle

I personally used Patrick's to learn animating. worked great for me (and I still use the provided arms D: )
The light-on and light-off animations are in the tag, but are never referenced in the game, and do nothing.
light-on, light-off, and put-away arent properly coded to be used
1 hour, 35 minutes later, Killa.
