Greetings

For the longest time many people have complained about the animations in the techdemo feeling wooden and disjointed, and still after almost 5 years people are still downloading it. Therefore I felt it necessary to update the animations in the Techdemo to give the player a better Sonic gameplay experience. The Animations or no way perfect, but they're not half as bad as they were originally.

I hope it is to your liking.

Sincerely

Updated animations:
--------------------

WalkF
RunF
Machspeed_F
JumpF_Takeoff
JumpF_Mid

The leap frog jump has now been replaced with a proper spinball animation.

------------------------
How to use this update.
------------------------
Your Ashura: Dark Reign game folder should be located at something like:-    D:\Games\UT2004\AshuraDarkReign

Place the two folders in the archive into your AshuraDarkReign folder, and say yes to any messages regarding overwriting what is already there.

In the system folder I have included a program shortcut 'AshuraEd' to access the Unreal editor.
It's properties will need altering by yourself to match the file path of your UT2004/AshuraDarkReign Modification in order to run.

If the new animation timings/speed is not to your liking. 
Feel free to adjust them as you see fit in the animation browser and save over the animation file in this update.


--------------------------
Possible minor Glitches:
--------------------------
There maybe at times 'Spin jump' animation errors. This is due to the way UT2004 was coded for jumping and I had to try to sync two animations.
