COMPATIBILITY
Compatible out of the box with any mod that does not use kNVSE to modify the Single Shotgun animations. May share sound files with some of my previous released sets. Load order/conflict overwrite does not matter in these cases.
Patches provided for:
- WMIM (requires original mod)
The meshes for your Grenade Rifle--or whatever weapon you apply these animations too--must be patched to have an ##ISControl node. If the provided patch does not work for you, you will have to patch them yourself. You can patch your meshes with SNIFF. Here is a tutorial on how to do this.
SUPPORT
If you enjoy the mod in any capacity, the best thing you can do is simply endorse the mod.
If, and only if, you have the means, you can help support me by joining my Patreon or by making a one time donation.
All of these options help encourage (and support) me to develop and support my animations with greater efficiency.
You might also consider donating to korri123, creator of kNVSE, without whom none of the many nimation mods now flooding the Nexus would be possible. He has donations set up under the "Donations" tab on his kNVSE mod page.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
- Pay as much respect as possible to the vanilla design, and re-imagine them with more detail and without the constraints of rigid weapon categories
- The vanilla "style" will be modified in cases where the original style of the animation was exceptionally poorly considered
- Style and gameplay > realism
- Pay respect to vanilla fire rate, reload, and jam timings. Whenever possible, these will be maintained; however, timings might be modified to add additional detail, and when animations were clearly rushed/reuse in the place of carefully considered balance
- Full reloads will always be longer than partial reloads, and always longer than the original vanilla timings. Partial reloads will always hew closer to the vanilla timings
DESCRIPTION
This is basically ripped from one of my previous, ill-conceived mods and tidied up significantly. Locomotion and jumping animations now work, and nearly every animation has been re-made from scratch. The exception to this is the jam, which is lifted from my Grenade Rifle animation (no, I'm not sorry about it), and the reload. Both of these were done for efficiency's sake. In the case of the reload, it was a decision to also keep the animation closer to the vanilla reload time in order for it to still be useful, as re-doing it from the ground up with the above principles would have resulted in a very, very long reload time for a fairly, ah, specialized gun. Still, the reload itself has seen significant revisions: your right had no longer looks awful, pushing the shell in looks much more satisfying, and snapping the gun shut has been made to look all around better.
GAMEPLAY NOTES:
- New base reload time: 2.3 seconds | Vanilla base reload time: 2 seconds
- New jam animation time: 2 seconds | Vanilla jam animation time: 2 seconds
- Fire rate animation timing: same as vanilla
F.A.Q.
Spoiler:
Show
Question: The reload for this gun is super fast and looks bad. Why?
Answer: You have a very high Agility stat and/or are using the Rapid Reload perk. This will generallymake animations look bad. This happened in vanilla, too, but vanilla animations already looked bad, so you never noticed.
Question: This isn't realistic!
Answer:
Question: What should I set my FOV to?
Answer: Between 55 (vanilla) and 75 will look best. Mine is set to 64. I cordially think that anything over 75 looks like utter dogshit, but you're free to set it higher if you'd like. I try to mitigate any weirdness that might happen at higher FOVs, so you should be fine. However, I would say 80 FOV is my cutoff point for fixing any wonkiness that may or may not occur (chances are nothing will happen, but I'm not breaking my back over FOVs that look horrible).
Question: A yellow shell comes out when you fire but you put a red shell in oh my God what did you do?
Answer: Literally nothing. I'm assuming it's an error in the vanilla game. This gun shouldn't even expel a shell when firing, but there you have it. No, I won't do anything to fix it, because I literally didn't cause it (besides the fact that I wouldn't know how to fix it, anyways).
Question: I don't have iron sight animations!
Answer: If you use WMIM, use the included patch in the Files section.
Question: Can I use the normal reload and the Hunt: Showdown style reload at the same time?
Answer: Yes. Look at the kNVSE mod page or crack open the files of a mod that features two reloads to find out how. However, I don't recommend it, as they have very different reload times. No, I will not upload a separate file with them combined.
Anything else will need to be patched. You can use SNIFF to do this. It is very easy to use and a tutorial, made by hitman4101, can be found here. Furthermore, any of the patches from Anniversary Animation Pack will work with this mod.
Question: Will you apply these animations to X High Poly Gun Mod/another mod?
Answer: If I missed an entry for New Vegas, any of its DLCs, YUP, or TTW, let me know, and I will add them in with an update.
As for other mods: the answer is no, I'm afraid. I have neither the time nor the desire to hunt down every weapon these animations could be applied to and patch them. Thankfully, it's easy to do so yourself. You can find out how by visiting kNVSE's mod page (you will need to edit the .json file with something like Notepad++). If you don't want to do that, you might wait until someone else does it for you.
Question: I don't like the style of this animation. Will you change it completely?
Answer: Nope! Criticism is very welcome, but the style you see is the style that you get. It's not changing.
Question: Will you make an animation(s) for me?
Answer: Visit my Patreon.
Question: Can you help me start animating?
Answer: Yes and no. I'm actually a technical dumbass, so in many respects, no. But there are resources available to you here. They are outdated now, but they should help you get started enough to where you can begin asking questions. I might be able to help you if youPM me, but please note that I am busy, and can't promise anything. I will do my best, though--I know it's hard to get started. But you also have to take some initiative.
KNOWN ISSUES
Spoiler:
Show
Please don't report these as bugs. I'm aware of them. These will be closed if you report them, because I'd rather make room for bug reports I'm actually unaware of.
1) The projectile that shoots from the gun when firing in iron sights mode is not aligned properly. This is a consequence of how I make iron sight animations. I don't know how to do it the other way and I am told that the way that I do it is more accurate for aiming. So, we're kind of stuck with this, sorry. You probably won't even notice this anyways.
