Description:
Dark Souls Animated Armoury aims to make combat animations for specific weapon types more dynamic by adding separate animations for each weapon type and will change bases on either 1-handed or 2-handed grip similar to Dark Souls combat. Dark Souls Animated Armoury is a module for the mod "Dynamic Animation Replacer (DAR)" by Felisky so it is a hard requirement for the animations to work. The mod will also need the mod "Combat Gameplay Overhaul (CGO)" by DServant to be able to use the 1-handed and 2-handed animation variations of each weapon type. Make sure you uncheck the Fixed 3rd Person Attack option in it's MCM to enable all directional attack animations. For version 1.1.7 and up of my mod you will need to have the mod "Attack Behavior Revamp (ABR) for CGO (LE)" by BOTuser999 and NickNack for the new animations to work properly because now your character will move forward every time you attack just like in Dark Souls and most modern AAA games. And you will also need "Additional Attack" by Loop to use extra power attacks and sprint attacks for version 1.1.7 and up of Dark Souls Animated Armoury. Remember to manually download the Additional Atttack mod file first, then unzip the file and delete the mesh folder so that they do not overwrite my animations, zip them back up and manually install in MO2, NMM, or Vortex.

NOTE for FNIS USERS wanting to use Nemesis:
I am able to use both the FNIS animation engine with the new Nemesis animation engine for Combat Gameplay Overhaul (CGO) and would like to say THEY ARE COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER, despite anything else you may have heard otherwise. You DO NOT have to get rid of FNIS to install Nemesis to use CGO. Now that being said, for anyone that is new to installing both Nemesis and CGO please follow JDM's tutorial video at the top. This will also work for anyone still using Nexus Mod Manager, and can install these mods mid-playthough.       

The weapon types this mod includes as follows:
- Sunlight Spear
- Daggers
- Maces/Clubs/Axes
- Straight Swords
- Greatswords
- Ultra Greatswords
- Fist/Claw Weapons
- Great Axes
- Great Hammers
- Pikes/Spears/Lances
- Halberds
- Glaives
- Scythes
- Katanas
- Curved Greatswords
- Scimitars and Shotels
- Rapiers
- Sideways Shields 
- Twin-Blades
- Weapon Buff Spells

This mod will give special "weapon art" type animations to some weapons. For example, the Greatsword of Artorias will have a special jump flip attack animation on attack power forward sprint. 


Installation:
To install the animation pack you will need to have installed Combat Gameplay Overhaul (CGO), Nemesis, Dynamic Animation Replacer (DAR), and Attack Behavior Revamp (ABR) for CGO (LE). It's also required to have the mod Additional Attack to use the extra power attacks. When you install the Additional Attack mod it is strongly recommended you manually download the file first, then unzip the file and delete the mesh folder so that they do not overwrite my animations, finally zip up the file then install it via NMM or MO2 or Vortex. You would then set up your Additional Attack button via MCM menu. It's also strongly recommended to use antimicro-2.21-win64 to remap your game controller to your keyboard to use the Additional Attack mod for game pad users (see installation and control mapping). Instead of having the 1st person button "F" mapped to the Right Stick Click button that will become your sheath key "R" instead and your "X" button on your game pad will be mapped to whatever you want your Additional Attack button to be (mine for example is the "V" button on my keyboard mapped to my "X" button on the game controller to use the Additional Attacks).

To add in your weapon in the conditions file look for it's base ID in XEdit under weapons which is 8 numbers. In the conditions text file type:

IsEquippedRight("name of .esp or .esm" | 0x****** ) 

The ****** are the last 6 digets of your weapon's base ID. The first two digets must always be 0x followed by the last 6 digets of the base ID. 

If it works please post your patches updates under the "posts" section and I may add them in future updates.
