Screenshots won't do this mod justice, just watch the video.
Whats New
Inspired by games such as Clock Tower and Haunting Ground, this mod replaces all of the player dodge, melee and window climbing animations. Whilst the mod was inspired by what Ashley would look like performing these actions, it is compatible with all characters. It does make for some funny moments when playing as Leon! Full break down:
- 5 dodging animations when weapon is holstered (when moving forward, backwards, left, right and standing still).
- Secondary melee dodge (showcased in the video when Ashley falls onto all fours after dodging forward)
- 5 dodging animations when weapon is equipped (when moving forward, backwards, left, right and standing still).
- 4 melee animations: 2 kicks, 1 shove and a shoulder barge.
- 1 new animation for when climbing over window frames.
- All sound effects have been altered to reflect the impact of player movement (i.e when you fall to the ground, foot steps, etc).
By using this mod, please note that gameplay will be a little bit slower in general as most animations are not as fast as Leon's. If you like more tense, methodical gameplay then you will enjoy the changes.
Installation
1. Firstly you will need to install the Fluffy Mod Manager.
2. (Optional) Install the Kick Open Doors mod in Fluffy Mod Manager (follow the installation description). This is not necessary to install unless you would like to melee at your own free will - which is my preference.
3. (Optional) Install the Dodge Roll and Sprint mod in Fluffy Mod Manager (follow the installation description). This is not necessary to install unless you would like to dodge at your own free will - which is my preference. If you're using this mod, ensure that it's the latest version otherwise you will get bugs.
4. (Optional) Install whatever Leon character replacement you want if you're not wanting to play as Leon. If you're needing further guidance on this, refer to Questions below.
5. Install the Ashley The Hero mod (download from this posts attachments) in Fluffy Mod manager and you're good to go! It's important that you install this mod last.
Uninstall
Click on the mod in fluffy manager, and it will automatically uninstall it for you.
Compatibility
This will not work for any mod that alters Leon's animations.
Questions
1. How do I play as Ashley instead of Leon?
There's a couple of ways to do this. The first way is to find a mod that replaces Leon with Ashley, such as the Ashley in an 18th Century Dress mod I have previously created. Alternatively (and probably the easiest way) you can use the Character Swap feature available in the Ultimate Trainer Mod (follow their installation description) which also allows you to use any other character in the game. I alternate between using both, however if you would like me to create and upload a mod that replaces Leon with default Ashley just let me know.
2. Do I need to use the 'Kick Open Doors' and 'Dodge Roll and Sprint' mods to use the Ashley Hero animations?
No, Leon's (or whoever you've modded over him) default animations will still be replaced so you can rely on the regular button prompts to perform the actions.
3. I cant dodge like you can in the video. She either falls to the ground repeatedly or looks like she's climbing a window. Why?
There could be a couple of reasons. Ensure that you have downloaded the latest 'Dodge Roll and Sprint' mod as a first step. Secondly, there are two dodge buttons: 'Custom Dodge' and 'Roll without stepping', each performing a different action. For the majority of dodge moves, you will be using 'Custom Dodge'. These are the settings I use:
Issues/Bugs
- Occasionally the new melee animations will not connect with an enemy. I'm working on fixing this to make it a smoother experience and requires a bit of scripting that I don't have a huge amount of experience in. Please be patient.
