First person spear and rapier animation SE

Added first person spear and rapier animations to the battle ax and 1 hour sword. Replacement and alternate animated versions available.

I've been a fan of NickaNak's animated armory for a long time, but I always wished I could use the weapons in first person without being forced to revert to the vanilla swing attack. Since not many people seem to dabble in first person animation, I decided to tackle this myself. This mod is the result.

=========

feature:

=========

This mod only adds first person animations for spears and rapiers. There are two versions of the mod:

The replacer version replaces the 2-hand ax/hammer animation with a sword animation and the 1-hand animation with a rapier animation on the right hand.

Alternate animation versions use custom behavior files so that they don't conflict with vanilla weapon animations.

=============

Require:

=============

Skyrim.esm

Optional:

Animated Armory

Heavy Armory

Immersive weapons

rapier and dagger

Predators: The Lost Tribe

Chidori

Echizen

Note: Alternate animation versions have built-in compatibility with these mods and will use first-person rapier/spear animations by default for specific weapons

Any other weapon model that adds a spear or rapier can also take advantage of this feature. See the "For Modders" section below to learn how to do this.

=============

Install:

=============

Install using Vortex/NMM

Either

Extract the files into the data folder

If you have any of the above "optional" mods installed and are using alternate animation versions, an in-game notification will indicate if the mod detects them.

===============

uninstall:

===============

Uninstall using Vortex/NMM

Either

Delete files manually.

==============

compatibility:

==============

The replacer version is not compatible with any other mod that changes 2hm and 1hm first person animations.

Alternate animation versions are incompatible with mods that change the following first-person behavior files:

act/0_master.hkx

behavior/1hm_behavior.hkx

behavior/bashbehavior.hkx

behavior/blockbehavior.hkx

behavior/sprintbehavior.hkx

act/weapequip.hkx,

characters/firstperson.hkx

However, there are two mods I've built with alternate animation versions of the behavior files that are compatible out of the box:

Improved combat behavior by moljka

JZB Throwing Weapon Lite... Hey! That's me! ! ! ! :P

During installation, simply let the behavior files from this mod overwrite the behavior files from the above mod.

Additionally, there is an optional patch that integrates alternate animated versions with Animated Armory's keyword system.

==============

For Modders:

==============

If you are using the alternate animation version and want to make a patch so that a one-handed sword can use a rapier animation in first person, or a battle ax can use a spear or halberd animation in first person, there are two ways to do this:

Method 1:

• Download and install NickaNak’s Animated Armory
• Download and install the alternate animated version of this mod
• Download and install this mod's animated armory keyword patch and overwrite any files
• Follow the instructions in the sticky article on how to make weapon patches on the Animated Armory page

Method 2:

• Download and install the alternate animated version of this mod
• Open Tes5Edit and load "JZBai_FirstPersonSpearsRapiersAA.esp" and any weapon model you want to patch
• Right-click "000_JZBai_HalberdList", "000_JZBai_PikeList" and/or "000_JZBai_RapierList" under "FormID List" in "JZBai_FirstPersonSpearsRapiersAA.esp" and "Copy as Override" them to the new esp file
• Add any weapon models you want to patch as masters into this new esp
• Add the required weapons to the corresponding formID list

Save and you're done!

Both versions sometimes have a weird visual bug where a grid of weapons appears in your field of view when you use mods like Visible Favorited Gear or Gear Overhaul, but it doesn't seem to be common.
