[CF-Devel] Combat animations/sound

[crossfire-devel at archives.real-time.com]

An experiance I just had sums up why i'm suggesting this;There was this long 
hallway, cram packed with mobs.  I held control+up.  I simply kept going up, 
and they just dissapeared.  I would refer it to mowing, but mowing looks 
like it takes effort (hey, it does)

My idea was to make fighting look and feel a bit more like fighting.
I understand that there is no sound currently, so part of this might be 
redunant.  Ever play the old Strategic Simulations, Inc Dungeons & Dragons 
games?  Pools of Radience, Champions of Krynn, Gateway to the Savage 
Frontier ect...  Gems, pure gems.
When ever you attack in those games, there is a small animation(very small). 
  For example, there are two character pictures total.  One of the guy with 
his sword raised, another with it down.  It is set to the sword raised one.  
When you attack, it switches to the sword down one, then back to the one 
with the sword raised.  Very quick, but makes it look like hes fighting.  A 
little sound of a chink is played if it hits, and a little woosh if it 
misses.
When somthing is hit, the model square thing flashes red for a moment.  I am 
not exactally suggesting that the boxes flash red for a second, but somthing 
could happen.  A red x in there appears and dissapears with the sound.  
These changes would really. really add to the atmosphere, even though they 
would take quite a bit of work.  I think it would be worth it, and help get 
you into the game.
