About this mod
Patches KingdomMan's excellent one-handed sword animation pack with new attack animations to play nicely with Precision.

KingdomMan's original Swordsman animation pack does a great job of selling a character wielding a one-handed sword as a skilled duelist rather than someone swinging a sword-shaped club, and does so without MCO or SKYSA for the benefit of all of us vanilla combat players out there. However, the attack animations were designed before Precision's release and therefore don't account for precise hitboxes. This results in attacks frequently missing or colliding with geometry. The bash in particular is mostly broken by Precision.
This patch fixes all of that. The attack animations and bash animations are now properly usable with Precision; the hitboxes will line up nicely with your crosshair. It also fixes some minor irregularities that caused characters' bodies to contort oddly during attacks. You would likely never notice this unless you viewed the animations over and over again frame by frame in Blender like I did, but my sanity's loss is your immersion's gain.
Precision is not actually necessary for these animations to work, but they were designed with Precision in mind. The original Swordsman One Handed Vanilla Replacer mod by KingdomMan is required. This only replaces the attack animations. To install, first install the original pack then override it with this mod. Dynamic Animation Replacer is also required.
