1. Description

*****************************************************************

This mod is an animation replacer, that replaces (obviously :P) the animations for casting on target and/or touch.

The mod comes in six (one with three sub versions) versions:

NOTE: Every version will not be able the cooperate, because of Hatred between Daedra's


Yeah right.... :P

They will not work because the is only one casttarget.kf and they're both named that...



The smart pupil says: *Squicky teenage voice* "Why not use the casttarget_alt.kf?"

Pepsi: "Should I?, Would I?, Kud-Ei? I mean Ei-Kud..."

If you think the Alt cast should be changed too, drop me a PM at the official forums, will ya?

Summary:|

Only 3rd person |

________________|

The player casts spells with left hand (like actually throwing the spell), though not if the player is holding a weapon... There's no 1st person version (Rhymes, kinda..) because of less accuracy, and you can't really see the casting take place...

**************:
Scamp Version*:

:::::::::::::::

_________________________
Summary:|
|
Both 1st and 3rd person |
|
________________________|


The player casts with both hands (MW style) in 1st and 3rd person view... Like when a scamp casts a spell:


1: The animation plays
2: Then sound, a quarter through the animation..
3: Then the actual cast or spell if you will.

Lich Version*:

::::::::::::::

The player hovers above the ground, then casting the spell with left hand in a cool way!
You cannot move while the spell is being cast!

***************:
Flame Atronach*:
***************:
::::::::::::::::

NOTE: Three Sub Versions!!!!!


A: Bowling Throw

The player makes a half crouch, the throws the spell in a cool bowling swing..


B: Crouching Backhand

Similar to Xivilai cast, but with less mesh stretching and looks cooler!



C: Overhead Throw

Nothing like 'A' or 'B' in the throw, the player like 'A' and 'B' crouches, then lifts his or her hands in the air, and throws a barrel with out the barrel.. It's hard to explain.



_________________
Summary: A, B, C|

________________|

The coolest IMO, is the Flame Atronach's versions, and I think 'B' is the coolest among those three.





::::::::::::::::::
*****************:
Spriggan Version*:
*****************:
::::::::::::::::::


Almost like the vanilla casttouch, but with a little crouch, and longer fingers..
