IF YOU ARE ON A GAME VERSION OLDER THAN 1.10.162, INSTALL THE PRE-1.10.162 FILE PROVIDED IN THE MAIN DOWNLOAD, OTHERWISE THE MOD WILL EITHER NOT WORK OR YOUR GAME WILL CRASH! THIS EXTENDS TO VR AS WELL, SO IF YOU INSTALLED THE MAIN FILE AND THE MOD DOESN'T WORK, TRY THE PRE-1.10.162 PLUGIN OR THE VR VERSION (EITHER SHOULD WORK FINE).
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THE CUSTOM LIGHTSABER ANIMATIONS MOD FROM WER123456!! IT IS BUILT ON VERSION 3.1 OF THIS MOD AND IS NOT COMPATIBLEWITH ANY VERSION ABOVE 3.1! IF YOU WANT WHAT IT DELIVERS, USE MY ANIMATIONS PATCH INSTEAD!
5/4/25 - Version 3.9
Added 3 new hilts: Fusion, Shadow, Rey (ROS)
Added descriptions to a majority of the sound options to help give an idea what the sounds are like.
Added two new Sith-style ignition sounds (E and F)
Split the Sith A ignition sound so you can pick between the slower or faster variants of the sound.
Added Rey ignition and retraction sounds.
Added the Igneous hilt into the rotation of hilts used by Coursers.
Fixed the lightsaber leveled-list for Coursers. It erroneously had a Chance None of 45 set on it, meaning that a Courser Blademaster could show up having forgotten his lightsaber at home.
1-handed hilts now all have 1H in their names so they won't all sort below the 2H hilts in the weapon workbench.
These are hilts I've got planned so far. Anything bolded in red with a tilde (~) by it means it's being worked on. Those that are green and struck through have been completed. This list doesn't cover designs of my own making; I keep those as surprises. ;)
I'm not sure what the "Kenji" mod is, do you mean Kensei? If so, neither it nor the Samurai mods affect the double-bladed lightsabers, those are covered by The Staffmaster. All three are needed for the animations patch to work, so uninstalling one isn't exactly an option. Also, in what way are the Samurai mod and Kensei mod conflicting? As far as I know there aren't any hard conflicts between the two, the only thing would be animation text data.
First of all, sorry, i meant to say Kensei. Second, Vortex says that there are conflicts between the mods, also, not all lightsabers seem to be animated. some double sided ones still act with bat animations, and i thought the kensei mod would affect the one handed normal lightsaber to make them more dynamic, but they still have the vanilla animation.
Vortex is likely complaining about the animation text data. To my recollection all three mods have said text data as loose files, so there'll be overlap. You'll either have to manually patch the text files with data from the other ones or simply let one of the mods be the conflict winner, it shouldn't affect things adversely.
As for the other issues, the 1h katana animations only take effect if you have the Default Attack Style modification attached to the lightsaber. If that's not attached then the lightsabers will still use the vanilla animations. As for the staff animations, I checked over the patch and did find I had keyworded both Balor lightsabers incorrectly, so I'll fix that, but the Maul and Rive saber-staffs are correctly keyworded so they should work.
EDIT: Uploaded a hotfix for the animations patch. Corrected the Balor hilts as well as the attachment points on a few others.
Do I still need the ‘Backported Archive2 Support System’ for the file ‘The Lightsaber 3.8 - Old Gen from 04 Aug 2024, 4:31PM’?
From the title description it sounds like it's no longer necessary. But I'd better ask.
And if it is necessary, would I be on the safe side with the 3.7 version of the light sabre mod for the Fallout 4 GOG version (1.10.163)?
I would like to do without extra mods if possible. But your Star Wars mod is simply a must for me. On my old system I had 47 companions with extra enemies. It's just a sight to behold when 47 companions with light sabres in their hands pounce on your enemies like a wild swarm of hornets (That was still with mod version 1.4).
No, you don't need BASS for the Old Gen file. With that I repackaged the BA2 archives to use the Old Gen BA2 header so that file is basically version-agnostic, it should work on both Old Gen and New Gen without any fuss.
I couldn't get the extra animations to work. It just used the cyber ones instead. Anyone know what outfit could go with this? Using cbbe/3BBB. Looking for something with a hood if possible.
You need to make sure that in the Animation Variant slot, the saber is set to use the Standard Animation style and not any of the Katana styles, then the Attack Style slot has to be set to Default so the Kensei/Vault Samurai animations can apply. Also make sure you update the animations patch; from your download history I see you have the version for 3.6 but never got the version for 3.8. It doesn't really affect the animations but if you're using an older version of the patch, any of the new hilts added in 3.8 won't have the animation keywords applied from the patch.
Just for the record, but wasn't a little easier just having us to download the animatons from the kensei/samurai/staff mods, without their plugins and random katanas/clothes? Not that they aren't nice and all, but if someone is interested just in the lightsabers is a little useless to have also all the other stuff. (And we all know how FO4 is finicky with EACH small thing you drop in the data files)
You don't need the animations patch and its requirements to run the mod, it's just there for those who want to use the Kensei, Samurai and Staffmaster animations with the lightsaber. If you don't want to bother with them you can either use the Cyberout patch or just stick with the vanilla animations. Part of the reason I made the patch at all was because people kept using a similar patch made by wer123456, which instead of being a patch was a direct edit of the 3.1 version of the mod, so I got many bug reports that were caused by using that patch on a newer version of the mod. I finally got sick of it and made my own version to maintain and host on the mod page (and plastered warnings everywhere not to use the old wer123456 patch).
Beyond that, due to the permission arrangements on those three mods, I can't distribute the animation files directly without getting permission from the mod author, and even then the animation files can't do anything on their own, they have to be called to within a plugin; since they're all already set up within their relevant mods, it's simpler to make a patch that hooks into those mods, rather than make a new plugin, set up a race subgraph, assign the animations, assign an animation keyword and generate subgraph data so the animations work properly.
It should. I checked and it has all the proper keywords assigned to it, so either you have the patch placed incorrectly in your load order, you have another patch modifying the Darksaber loading after the Cyberout patch, or you're overlooking the Animation Variant attachment slot (which is where the animation options for Cyberout live).
Hello sir ! Thanks a lot for your work ! I'm here to ask you about some missing hilts/sabers, like the "Rive" one does not appear in the crafting station or anywhere else (like many others), what did i do wrong please ? :)
You may be using an unofficial patch or addon that's based on an older version of the mod, when those hilts weren't yet introduced. If you got the Custom Lightsaber Animations mod by wer123456, that'd be the cause of the issue right there.
Also make sure your load order is correct. Any patches or addons to the lightsaber mod, if they don't overwrite it, should be made to load after the lightsaber mod and not before. If they load before, it could cause this issue.
It's likely due to the Next-Gen version header in the BA2 archives, since to my knowledge FOLON runs on 1.10.163. You'd need to either unpack the BA2 files or install BASS, if possible: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/81859
