Logs

v1.0.1 Shield Patch
- modified onehandforward.kf, onehandbackward.kf, and onehandfastleft.kf to reduce shield clipping.

v1.0.1 Optionals
- Added alternate Power/Skill Attack animations. Less recoil and locked movements. More manageable now during combat! ^_^

v1.0.1
- Added the missing onehandattackleftpower.kf, onehandattackrightpower.kf, twohandattackleftpower.kf and twohandattackrightpower.kf to the archive.

v1.0
- First release.


Introduction
===========
This mod is inspired by ThrottleKitty's Rapier Set. Those beautiful thin blades are being horribly mangled by Oblivion's barbaric smash-and-bash moves! Existing animation replacers are either katana-inspired or dual-wield, too much slashing. So I made new animations to wield them sharpies to their full potential.

Description
===========
Replaces One-hand and/or Two-hand animations. These include the following:
- Weapon Idle and Turn
- Weapon Move Forward, Backward, Left, Right (and their Fast versions)
- Weapon Block, Jump, Recoil and Stagger
- Weapon Attacks(4 versions), Power Attacks/Skill Attacks

The moves are best executed at stationary position. Many of the moves have built in step-ins and dodgebacks.

Disclaimer
==========
Moves are ONLY inspired by (not realistically based on) fencing, Amy and Raphael of SC series. Do not berate me for poor/incorrect posture or whatever. I made it for aesthetic purposes. Don't like it? Don't use it. Simple as that. ^_^

Notes
=====
- Will naturally conflict with other one-hand or two-hand animation replacers.
- To support the old hit-and-run tactic (attack while moving, while jumping, etc.) I had to lower down bone priorities of legs and thighs. As most of the moves require sideways pelvis orientation, expect to see sideways running animations while attacking. Jumping animations are a little less awkward.
- Tail animations not yet included. Will work on it later.
- 3rd Person only. I can't make the camera work, so 1st Person support will be low priority.
- Power Attack animations are identical to their Skill counterparts.
- Ironically, ThrottleKitty's Rapier Set (and daggers, and shortswords) are too fast for the animation. I included an optional esp to decrease the rapier's speed to 0.9. Basically, The animations are best suited for weapon speeds 1.0 and below.
- Sorry I cannot provide a video preview, my PC's too ancient for that. If someone's kind enough to upload one I'd be grateful grapefruit! ^_^

Installation
============
1. OBMM
- Create an OMOD from the zip file. It has omod conversion data included.
- Install. Follow automatic installation instructions.

2. Manual
- Open OneHand and/or TwoHand folder.
- Copy the meshes folder to your "Oblivion\Data". Overwrite when prompted.
- OPTIONAL: If you have ThrottleKitty's Rapier Set and wish to decrease their speed, replace tkRapiers.esp with the one from my mod. The version I had is v1.2.

Uninstall
=========

Swept Hilt Rapiers - Another rapier mod that I use. It even has a patch for Princess Stabbity compatibility ^_^
Ser Knight Animation Replacer - Shameless plugging, I know. But many people are commenting here that there's nothing for the guys, so I thought I'd stick it here.
