bbpTools for BBP Skeletal Animation

STEP 1: Install HCT: Havok Content Tools

Run hctPlatformWin32.cmd.

This program looks for installed HCT at startup.

If it is already installed:

Usage: hct.exe -o out.hkx x 64 .hkx

-- HCT Start

-- HCT Finished

Press any key and exit.

Go to STEP 2.

If it is not installed:

Please install HCT x64.

Open the shared folder on Google Drive now ?

Press Y here to open the shared folder on Google Drive.

Download and install HCT 2014. 1. 0 or later x64 version.

HavokContentTools_2014-1-0_20140830_64Bit_PcXs.exe

HavokContentTools_2014-1-1_20150216_64Bit_Anarchy.exe

Download either.

Start the installer.

If you follow the instructions, the keycode entry screen will appear.

<Replace this text with your Havok product keycode (s)>

We don't have a keycode, so press the Next button.

A confirmation dialog will appear. Press the OK button to proceed.

When starting HCT, you may receive a Windows Firewall confirmation dialog.

You don't have to allow this.

STEP 2: Prepare hkx file

Extract Fallout4 - Animations.bsa and locate the hkx file.

For example the hkx file for idle animation is located at:

meshes/Actors/Character/Animations/MT/Player/female/PoseA_Idle1.hkx

STEP 3: Convert hkx file to WIN32 format

The hkx file used for FO4 is AMD64 format and cannot be processed as is.

So we use HCT to convert it to WIN32 format.

Drop hkx file(s) into hctPlatformWin32.cmd to create WIN32 format hkx file(s).

Destination: win32 folder

STEP 4: Embed BBP

Run embedBBP.cmd to create hkx file(s) with BBP embedded.

Source: hkx file(s) in win32 folder

Destination: x64 folder

The output hkx file is AMD64 format, so it can be handled by FO4.

STEP 5: Deploy hkx file(s)

Put hkx file(s) in the Data folder. Same as animation mod.

STEP 6: Clear folders

Run clearBBP.cmd to delete hkx file(s) in win32 folder and x64 folder.
