    yes thx, looking forward to make that.

    Cant imagine we won't have that in the future, when stances and animations of "in camp" are a in priority, atm we are focusing on "in skirmish" animations,
    like fixing bayonets while kneeling, that I am working on right now.

    I respectfully disagree on the palm forward salute.
    The U.S. military does not salute that way. While it is true the military started that way, it eventually got away from that style after the Revolutionary War for Independence.

    The U.S. military salutes with palm down.
    Please developers don't make the players do the Benny Hill Salute.

    Although I'm also very partial to the modern way of saluting it seems as if historically the "Benny Hill" style of salute was used by both sides during the ACW.

    For once Mr. Hill is VERY wrong. The U.K. was famouly using the palm down salute during this time period whilst the U.S. (both sides) were using the open palm slaute as Mr. Work has just shown.

    LOL.
    I am not "very wrong" and forget the capitalization ... you're hyperventilating.

    The link I issued said that changes in the use of saluting started around 1820 ... that's 40 years prior to the civil war. Not saying that it was wholesale conversion as obviously the regulations state ...

    But I have read quite a few pieces of information, (no I didn't save them, and no, I'm not going to link them here,) that stated that a variety of manners were used for saluting during the civil war.

    And it is generally accepted that the palm down salute for the U.S. military became more vogue during the opening of the west, after the war. But given that both sides were not strict on the manner of saluting, I say make it random ... Of course that's saluting with no weapons. Weapons saluting needs to remain.

    Y'all are busting my balls in this heat.
    I've deleted a few posts. Stay on topic folks and be courteous to one another. If this proves too much of a challenge, simply walk away from your keyboard for a few hours - it usually helps.

    Cheers!

    Salutations according to the 1861 Revised Regulations for the Army of the United States
    Article XXIX
    Section: 253. It is equally the duty of non-commissioned officers and soldiers at all times and in all situations, to pay pthe proper compliments to officers of the navy and marines, and to officers of other geiments, when in uniform, as to officers of their own particular gegiments and corps.

    254. Courtesy among military men is indispensable to discipline. Respect to superiors will not be confined to obedience on duty, but will be extended to all occasions. It is always the duty of the inferior to accost or to offer first the customary salutation, and of the superior to return such complimentary notice.

    255. Sergeants, with swords drawn, will salute by bringing them to present -- with muskets, by bringing the left hand across the body, as to strike the musket near the right shoulder. Corporals out of the ranks and privates not sentries, will carry their muskets at a shoulder as the sergeants, and salute in like manner.

    256. When a soldier without arms, or with side arms only, meets an officer, he is to raise his hand to the right side of the visor of his cap, palm to the front, elbow raised as high as the shoulder, looking at the same time in a respectful and soldier-like manner at the officer, who will return the compliment thus offered.

    257. A non-commissioned officer or soldier being seated, and without particular occupation, will rise on the approach of an officer, and make the customary salutation. If standing, he will turn toward the officer for the same purpose. If the parties remain in the same place or on the same ground, shuch compliments need not be repeated.

    [Typed word for word from the Regulations] The Confederate version issued in 1863, is word for word in this regard/topic of salutations (salutes).
