Changelog and Versions on the post below.
What's this? An animation compilation to place in any module you want, given that some changes will need to be made to fit in most. If the animations weren't stolen, this would be somewhat of an OSP nature. I HAVE NOT made any of these animations, what I did is put them together into the same module.
Practical use: This is not a module for your warband pleasures, this is a submod, so you will have to place this inside any module you want---be it Native, Viking Conquest, WF&S or Prophesy of Pendor. Given the open ended nature of this mod, it WILL REQUIRE SOME BASIC MODDING SKILLZ (at least until someone makes a working version for any specific module).
Why this? I'm prickly about being robotic with the same animations over and over again. So I decided to steal a bunch of animations from other mods. Most I tried contacting, others I don't even know who to contact. Further info in [Credits].
I have added a plethora of different animations, some fitting, others not so much. I have done this as a personal project which has been going on since early 2014. I started publishing this in Gekokujo a long time ago and then evolved into my mostest favoritest mods of all which is/was 1257ad. This experienced has proved that 1) I am a hoarder, 2) I love variety;3) I am an ungrateful little prick who steals from others, that's why I'm in both arts & letters and law school. gonna steal me some many bawks.
What have I done?! So, in technical terms (haha, yeah right) I've added a huge amount of animations to each attack, stance, death, strike; running, reloading. If you look at actions.txt you will notice many animation sets have over 30 animations, but not all of them are new animations, many if not most are the same animations with different timings to give a more natural sense to stuff.
Some visual stuff for your eyes:
(for some reason, my monitor is really dark and I forgot to adjust the gamma to record it. I will fix in the next one, used youtube's corrections to make it watchable)
More may come soon.
Current State of affairs: Even after working sporadically for over 3 years on this, this is very much an amateurish ridiculous attempt at compiling the great works of my betters, of those who took the time to create and mod into the game their animations. So be warned, this will most likely be in a perpetual beta state as I need to change stuff all the time, and I do this every time I decide to come back to Warband for one reason or another.
Being knocked back takes a lot longer to recover, often it's fatal-not just falling, but receiving a strong hit can render you useless for a while and you may be overwhelmed.
The attack animations were changed to go a bit slower (there are virtually no difference in timings with them), not sure how it'll work it out, so need some feedback on that.
Known Issues:
- I have purposedly left the Kyudo animations for bows, so it may look a bit awkward sometimes.
- Some shield holding animations bug out with the arms, I am not sure why it happens. Any suggestions are welcome.
- If the speed of the weapon is too high, some swings do a full 360 turn, it's awkward most times, sometimes its cool.
- Some attacks don't look very fluid.
- Many death and strike animations are a tad awkward, sometimes too slow, sometimes too quick, others just don't look a bit natural (mostly the ones where the char is pushed to the ground).
- Some death animations might stop playing and no ragdoll model kicks in, so some standing corpses will be there.
- More stuff that I can't remember.
