About this mod

Animations to go whit Staves of Skyrim. Mainly whit shield staves. Lore-freanly tweaked vanilla animations. More versions will be added later.

Permissions and credits
As per request of MSFoxhound I have made (well i didnt made them from scratch so i guess tweaked) animations to use with Staves of Skyrim.

Currently there only is LITE version. It means that these animations are all lore-freandly and go together whit vanilla ones. Also shield staves are basically regular shields whit diffrent mesh and they use shield animations. So I made this LITE version to make it look decent for both.
New animations include running and walking while dual wielding normal staves, running and walking wielding normal and shield staves and new block idle, bash, and powerbash.
As always back up any animations my mod tries to replace in case you dont like my animations.


If you want only blocking animations and not the idles or dual wielding then donwload manually, extract and put in \Data\meshes\actors\character\animations only the animations whit shd_ in front of them. For example shd_blockidle.hkx, shd_blockbashpower.hkx, etc.



Animations shown in video in this order;
staff_idle.hkx
staffright_idle.hkx

When dual wielding staves and similar when using shield or shield staff.
staffmagic_walkarm.hkx
staffmagicright_walkarm.hkx

When dual wielding staves and similar when using shield or shield staff.
staffmagic_runarm.hkx
staffmagicright_runarm.hkx

When using shield or shield staff.
shd_blockidle.hkx
shd_blockbashintro.hkx (this is played between idle and bash or powerbash)
shd_blockbashpower.hkx
shd_blockbash.hkx

Not shown.
shd_blockhit.hkx (when you get hit while blocking)
shd_blockhit_vara.hkx (diffrent variant)
shd_blockhit_varb.hkx
shd_blockbashsprint.hkx (when using shield charge)


*Compatibility
If you use New animation for Magic casting v0-8 then these files will conflic

staff_idle.hkx
staffrigh_idle.hkx
staffmagic_runarm.hkx
staffmagic_walkarm.hkx
staffmagicright_runarm.hkx
staffmagicright_walkarm.hkx

No problem. If you like xp32's animations better then dont replace them. These are walking and runing animations as the name suggests.



*Requirements
I highly suggest you use this whit Staves of Skyrim. . Why? Because if you dont then whats the point from these animations? Ofcourse these are just animations so they will work even whitout that mod.


*NOTE
There is no custom sprinting animation whit shield staff. Yes, yes once again I uploaded an incomplete mod whit one animation missing. Well I really didnt want to but I already pushed the upload back for a day just so I could fix it. Seems like I cant, yet. Also I will have math exam soon so I want this mod to be off my mind for now.
Its kinda hard to explain but when I make it look good whit shield staff and normal staff suddently one handed sprint gets a loop bug or camera glitch. So please be patient till I figure it out.

*Install whit NMM or manually ----- \Data\meshes\actors\character\animations

*NOTE - Immersive Animations users!!!
Dont allow this mod to replace shd_blockbashsprint.hkx Immersive Animations shield charge animation goes well together whit shield staves. Or replace it really doesnt matter that much.
