Two-handed weapon one-handed animation

Provides one-handed animations for most weapon types

Two-handed weapon one-handed animation

🎮 **Updated to version 1.16**

This mod was originally an edited version of CopyistMonk's one-handed standby-move-crouch-jump mod, used to change most two-handed standby animations to one-handed variations. I've expanded it while fixing some bugs, and it's now divided into different categories that affect different types of weapons.

📥 Installation Guide

**Basic installation (only one option required):**

• Installed using Mod Engine 2
• Place the mod folder into the "mod" directory
• The folder structure should be: `modengine2\mod\name_of_the_mod\chr\dcx file`

**Compatibility Note:**

• Compatibility with mods such as The Convergence depends on whether the file has been replaced by another mod
• If the file is not replaced it should work fine
• If it has been replaced, you can try to use the files in the DIY folder to merge (it is recommended to back up first)

⚠️ **Note:** If the animation is not smooth and there is no sound, it is most likely a compatibility issue

🔄 Combined installation

**To install multiple animation options at the same time:**

You need to use Yabber tool to merge:

• 🎯 Select the desired animation file from the "DIY files" folder
• 📋 Paste and replace the file "c0000_a1x-anibnd-dcx" in the "chr" folder
• 📦 Drag the entire folder to Yabber.exe for packaging
• 📁 Place the generated `c0000_a1x-anibnd.dcx` file into the module folder of Mod Engine 2
• 🔧 The same method can be used to merge other modules that modify the c0000_a************.dcx file

🛠️ Custom modifications

**Tools Required:**

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES

**List of files not to replace:**

**Most weapons:**

• 🛡️ Defense action related files
• 🛡️ Defense startup related files
• 🛡️ Files related to fallback defense
• 🛡️ Files related to attacks being blocked
• 🛡️ Walking defense related documents

**Amulet and Shield Specific:**

• 📿 Talisman defense related documents
• 🛡️ Shield defense related documents

** Mullard Specific: **

• 🛡️ Mullard Defense related documents

**Combat skill animation optimization:**

If you don't like the character to maintain the weapon posture for a short time after using combat skills, you can replace specific files to achieve instant switching.
