Dear All,
hello, I'm new to this forum and I'm very pleased I found this site (well managed and still alive) dedicated to this arcaic game.
I just discovered "Expanding Fronts" which really adds much material and amazingly improves the game,
but I don't like the capital ships. So I studied a bit the game and the interested files(.dat,.drs,.slp,.slx,ect...) and managed to correct the attack properly. Now I ask you for help.
I would really need to make a unit (in this case a ship) attack while moving, to complete my superb work. I know it's AoE2 engine, but would it be possible? To make a unit attack while moving, or at least without facing the attack angle? I tried every available option, turn the unit into a building, remove attack animation, selecting cannon class and much else, but everytime it faces the target. Just to make the attack indipendent from animation...
Is there anyone enough skilled to help me?

Slightly different point: AoE 2 HD has an "Attack while moving" button alongside the "patrol"/"guard" and other options for military units- I don't know whether it'll have been in the original AoE 2 as I have never played it (only HD), but is there any reason that that could not be brought over to SWGB?
