Switching combat feat animations

[Cerasumat]

Hello, i was wondering if any of you happen to know if its possible to switch the animations for Power Attack and Critical Strike combat feats with eachother.

I'm pretty sure that the animation references are stored in the Appearance.2da file. Perhaps you could experiment there and let us know how it turns out.

 

PS: If you're successful, I'd very much like to download that mod

 

Thanks and good luck.

[Darth333]

Look at animations.2da. Feats are in the list: unfortunately, they use a 4 letter/number code on which I didn't bother to find out what they mean (just got back from work). I took screenshots of my new Power attack feat but forgot that i had just reinstalled the game and that EnableScreenshots...was not enabled . I'll post one later.

 

My new power attack:

Screenshot 1 (approach)

Screenshot 2 (attack)

 

That was animation f3a1

[Jackel]

Hey Darth that second pic makes it look like you destroyed the two droids with one sweep

[Cerasumat]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, i still dont exactly know what i have to do with that .2da since i never have messed around with those before but ill look around /shrug.

 

Not like my computer will blow up if i screw up right?....right?...

I've found that I've learned just as much by experimenting as I have by following instructions. Instructions are nice when they're available, but sometime you just have to take it apart to see how it works. If you run into snags, please don't hesitate to ask for help.

[Cerasumat]

True, but all i have accomplished in the last 3 hours is making my party slide accross taris in invisible chairs and make Mission fall on her bum everytime she flourishes her vibroblades

 

 

This is gonna take awhile, rofl.

 

 

EDIT: btw, i like your Republic Heavy Blasters mod.

LOL!!! Thats pretty funny!

 

I hope you get the animations figured out.

Couple of questions:

 

1. Is there one animation for Power Attack, Improved power attack and Master Power Attack or 3 seperate ones? The second and third have a glowy effect on your hands when you use them so i assume there are 3 different ones?

 

2. f3a1 is the new animation you have for power attack, but how did you link that animation to power attack itself? is that link somewhere in another .2da file or script? (like combatnaimations.2da)

I did this change very quickly. I used animations.2da to make a short cutscene sometime ago (don't look in my mods, it has not been published) but did not really investigated on the meaning of the names ( I am lazy sometimes).

 

You will see, there is a colunm called "name" in this you have many recognizable names at the beginning, then lower, you will find 4 letter codes. The feats are in these. I suupose the feats are the ones that start with an "f" like f3a1 and maybe (it would be logical) when you have f2a1, f2a2, f2a3 is for feats that have three levels ( I could be wrong on this). You will have to find the line corresponding to the feats you want to change (have fun ) and then simply copy/paste the name from another feat . Per example, copy f3a1 and paste it where it says f2a1. Click on another row before saving (or you'll loose all your modifications) and save. Now, I have no idea what row is the power attack. As I said above, I made the screenshots very quickly so I just pasted f3a1 (hoping it was not power attack ) in many other rows...the sith were also doing the same move with their guns

 

*edit* oh and offensive feats should have 1 in the attack column i suppose so this may help you a little.

[Cerasumat]

Just thought of another problem: there is offcourse a animation for single, double and dual weapons.

 

Tedious monkeywork!!!

[Cerasumat]

Im starting to make a list of what each code does.

 

Who knows.. i might get it done before KotoR2 gets released!

Lists lead to references,

references lead to tutorials,

tutorials lead to mods,

mods lead to the Light Side....

Mod is done

<gets the warm fuzzy feeling that comes with gaining Light Side points>

 

EDIT: Ill try to get as much info on the codes in the .2da as possible and make one big final list when im done

[Darth333]

Good work! and thanks for making a list of the codes We appreciate your efforts and the fact that you share with the community

 

If you want you can make a partial list and update it when you can

Just caught that. Thank you!

[Cerasumat]

This is what happens when i have too much time

These seem to be all the animations the game uses in normal combat, i might have missed a few here or there though.

 

EDIT: List moved to first post.

[Achilles]

Excellent work. This definitely needs to be added to one of the Stickies.

[Darth333]

That was some work! Thanks a lot I love to see people making things like this that benefit to all the modding community (just like you do Achill(i)es )

 

I hope you'll continue modding Kotor I'll PM T7nowhere about this post

I sent him one as well

[RedHawke]

Wow Cerasumat, nice work on listing the animations! Thanks for sharing!

[Prime]

I'm definitely trying this one. I didn't like the power attack either.
