Animation naming conventions

Animations in ZenGin follow a simple naming convention that helps to identify the purpose of each animation.

Type

The animation prefix indicates a type of animation.

s_ is used for state animation. It is usually a looping animation that represents a character's state (e.g., standing, walking, running).

1	`s_<state_name>`

Examples

Running state animation
1	`s_Run`

Blacksmith's anvil state 0 animation
1	`s_BSANVIL_S0`

t_ is used for transition animations. These animations are played when transitioning from one state to another.

1	`t_<from_state>_2_<to_state>`

Examples

Transition from running to sneaking
1	`t_Run_2_Sneak`

Transition for blacksmith's anvil standing to state 0
1	`t_BSANVIL_Stand_2_S0`

r_ is used for random animations. These are non-looping animations that can be played randomly, often used for idle behaviors or actions.

1	`r_<action_name>`

Examples

Random scratching head animation
1	`r_ScratchHead`

c_ is used for parts of combined animation that are later combined with aniComb in MDS files

1	`c_<anim_name>_<number>`

Examples

Bow aiming
1 2 3 4	`c_bow_1 c_bow_2 ... s_bowAim <- final animation`
