You're right, the walk cycles need to be rewritten completely in order to
adapt them to my system. I will also have to do that with my own walk
cycles. I intent to do that, but I also have the advantage that I know the
technique well.

Go with whatever you feel like. That's what I always do anyway... :)

Hmm, I could do that I guess. I've done flying flocking algorithms before,
and it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt it to walking creatures. Not
right now, but once I get better control over this walking technique, I
might give it a shot. :)
