I just can't seem to get this mod to work no matter how I order the mods, what version I use, etc. The spears themselves are labelled as "Pike" when I look at it in the inventory but as soon as I try to swing it in 3rd person it just swings the same as a battle axe which is odd because the steel spear from Reforging to the Masses works as intended and has the pike thrusting animations. Perhaps tomorrow I'll play around with it when I have a little more time. If I can get it to work that would be ideal since Spear of Skyrim has the best-looking spears but the battle axe animations on a spear are just too jarring haha.
get keyword compatibility framework if you haven't already and keyword patch collection, while you're at it, learn how to do DAR/OAR conditions and priorities especially with kcf. this will solve 99% of your weapon animation problems present and future.
Sorry to say, I have the same issue others are saying. I installed this mod as per the directions here in the comments. PC swings spears like battle axe. I do have a Bashed Patch, and I have other patches for Animated Armoury. Maybe that is the issue.
I will try moving the Spear of Skyrim.esp below everything, but it doesn't look like Spear of Skyrim.esp is overwriting or getting overwritten by anything.
Edit:
I tried moving Spear of Skyrim.esp below everything on the MO2 right side, even below Bashed Patch. Still have the issue. I do have the Animated Armoury - SkyPatched Fixes Rebalance and Enchantments mod. Maybe it is the issue, but I see that as an essential mod at this point. Unfortunately, I will uninstall this mod and track.
First of all, I love you for making this mod. Second, it works sort of fine, the spears from Spears of Skyrim only adapt the equip, unequip, and idle animations from a mod (Smooth Moveset) specifically for Pikes from Animated Armoury, though it doesn't seem to adapt the same attack animations from black364's ADXP I MCO ER Spear Basic Animation (SCAR). Is there a keyword I should be looking for within SSEdit to fix it?
Its not working for me. I installed the patch using MO2 and it is installed after Spears of Skyrim so it is overwriting it. Any idea on how to get it working?
i have no idea since i use the main one. in theory it should work, because this is a simple distribution of the keywords to the spears of skyrim's added weapons.
if those modified versions of AA do not make changes to keywords, then it should work.
Didn't work for me. I installed animated armory, the esp for no whips and claws, and this and it didn't work. I already had spears of Skyrim installed previously. Animated Armory weapons work fine. The spears from spears of skyrim still swing like an axe. The only thing that I saw in the folder that you uploaded was the esp. Am I missing something? I gave the mod conflicts for the no whip/claw version priority over the original file. I gave the animated spears of skyrim priority over the original version. Any thoughts on what might be going on here? If I removed the cleaned no whip and claw esp from animated armory, it still doesn't work. I removed everything for now. I use Vortex. Everything appears to be installed. Vortex doesn't install two versions of spears of skyrim; it overwrites the original non-animated version. I tried to just throw the esp into the data folder, but it says that the spear of skyrim file is being used by another program and doesn't over-write the file. I can't "install" the file unless I do it through vortex. In my load order, the New Armory esp is 156. Spears of Skyrim is normally 273. When I overwrite it with the animated version, it becomes 157. Not sure what I'm missing.
this is designed for the original "animated armoury" mod, the one linked in the description. if you're using other versions, i cannot support it.
this is a simple distribution of animated armoury keywords for the spears in spear of skyrim. it already works for me. but again, i have the main version of animated armoury. not the "no whip" or "no claw" version.
also, this isn't a patch for spear of skyrim's plugin. this has to overwrite the spear of skyrim's plugin.
I downloaded the link that you provided and installed it for the animated armory. Then I downloaded the add-on esp that overwrites the original mod and removes the whips and claw.
That didn’t work.
then I REMOVED the no whips and claws add-on.
that left me with original mod that you suggested for the animated armory. Still didn’t work. I removed everything and tried it just with you mod and the animated armory mod that you provided to be sure that the esp for animated armory was the correct one.
didn’t work. All of the AA weapons are fine. The spears of Skyrim don’t work.
"NewArmoury.esp" being the main Plugin for the Animated Armoury Mod, and "Spear of Skyrim.esp" being this Mod.
your problem can be one of two things: A. your Animated Armoury Folders do not have the correct conditions for DAR
Spoiler:
Show
(located in Data/meshes/actors/character/animations/dynamicanimationreplacer/_customconditions/XXX/_CustomConditions.txt)
or
B. there is a Mod that is making changes to animated armoury, located lower in your Load Order Or one of the plugins is overwritten by another Mod's changes.
if i could take a look at your Load order i could help further. i hope this helps.

meaning it only works with the folder structure of Animated armoury for DAR (dynamic animation replacer).
if you want to use this with an animation pack mod, such as Black's. then his animations must be in Animated Armoury's DAR folders, for them to work.
No animation pack will work on its own, unless they are added into the Animated Armoury's framework.
if those modified versions of AA do not make changes to keywords, then it should work.

that’s fine. Moving on.
here's the load order of the Plugins that i use with animated armoury:
NewArmoury.esp
AnimatedHeavyArmoury.esp
Animated Armoury - Fixes.esp
Animated Armoury - Enchantments.esp
Spear of Skyrim.esp
"NewArmoury.esp" being the main Plugin for the Animated Armoury Mod, and "Spear of Skyrim.esp" being this Mod.
your problem can be one of two things:
A. your Animated Armoury Folders do not have the correct conditions for DAR
or
B. there is a Mod that is making changes to animated armoury, located lower in your Load Order Or one of the plugins is overwritten by another Mod's changes.
