Personality Idles - Modified version - NPCs and companions - v1.5

By Xtudo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Description
===========

First of all, the credits go to Dereko author of this mod, and to Kirel author of "Talk with your hands" mod.

I really love the Personality Idles 4 mod, it gives a lot of life to the game.

But it has some functions that I never use, like play the lute, or assigning animations to my character (always play in 1� person view).

So I did a manual modification of this mod. Removed the player animations, scripts, items, containers, cells, npcs, sounds, and everything related to the player animations. Now only exist the NPCs and companions animations idles.

I tested a lot, and the modifications are working Ok.

Also I did some adjustments, like the greeting idles are now played with a 50% random option. The mages don't stand with the left hand up when using shields (ex. FCOM battlemages). Also added a mountain lion sitting idle from the "Personality Idles Custom mod" too - Thanks to Crippknottick.

The ESP has its proper {{BASH:Actors.Anims,NoMerge}} tags. For those who use Wrye Bash tool. Redo the bash patch,0.esp after installing this mod.

Also this mod includes animations for companions, they will be affected by rainning and snowing weathers, female seductive idles, ranger track idle, etc. This ones are based on the "Personality Idles Custom mod" by Crippknottick.


UPDATE 1.5
==========

- Removed COMPLETELY the player animations. This time is for real. :D

- Fixed a problem with the Persuasion mini-game.

- Fixed a problem with the companion's "hurt" animations.

- The animations won't be triggered when the companion or the NPC is using an item, like a rake.

- Included "No Seductible Idle animations for female companions" and
"No Wave Gretting animation for NPCs" optional versions.


UPDATE 1.4
==========

- Fixed the missing rake animation for farmers NPCs.

- Fixed the equiped weapon dialogue bug.


UPDATE 1.3
==========

- Merged "Talk with your hands" mod by Kirel, all animations working, so no conflicts!
This excellent mod unlocks the conversation animations for NPCs when they're talking to the player.

- Some little tweaks.


UPDATE 1.2
==========

This little update fixes some animations.

- Now monks with shield equiped won't use the talking animations (The shield clipped with their heads!). Ex. for some OOO monks.

- Females with shield equiped won't be using added female sitting animations, only "vanilla" sitting ones. Ex. some female battlemages from Origins of the Mages Guild.

I did this to avoid "terrible" clipping. :D

Also I changed the ESP file name, now the name is defenitive for future releases.

There is only one esp file now, featuring both animations for NPCs and Companions.



Future Plans
============

Add some more animations... some tweaks, fix some things, etc.



Installation
=============

1.Simples. Extract downloaded files, choose the version you like most, and copy the selected ESP file to your Oblivion\DATA Folder.

2.It needs the "Personality Idles - Modified version - Main File v1.3" to be installed first.

3.If you already have Personality Idles 4 mod installed, delete the old ESP, and activate ONLY this one.

4.Remember use ONLY one ESP file.

5.If you use Deadly Reflex, load this mod BEFORE Deadly Reflex.esp file.

6.If you are updating from 1.1 delete the old "Personality Idles 4 - Cleanned version.esp". Use ONLY "Personality Idles - Modified version.esp".

7. IMPORTANT! Try to load this mod right at the end of your load order. Just before Deadly Reflex or Bash Patch, if you use them.

8. And now the installation instructions from the "Talk with your hands mod" readme.txt file:

"You might want to change the INI value fDlgFocus to 6.0000 to get the full effect.

In the Oblivion.ini file (probably in My Documents\My Games\Oblivion) find the [Interface] section and look for the line:

fDlgFocus=2.1000 and just change that to fDlgFocus=6.0000

Which will stop the camera zooming in so close when you enter dialogue."

- Mine configuration is set to fDlgFocus=3.8000
