📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
This mod is a modified version of Animation Compilation that replaces the one handed animations with the vanilla ones.
I did this because the one handed animations from the dirnae animations are slow compared to the vanilla ones.
VERSIONS
You can only use one of these, it is not possible to use more than one.
ANIMATION COMPILATION WITHOUT ALMALEXIA SPELLCASTING
This version is the main file of this mod, this is probably the version that you are searching.
It is named "Animation_Compilation_BWVOHAAWAS"
ANIMATION COMPILATION WITH ALMALEXIA SPELLCASTING
This version includes the Almalexia Spellcasting, i recommend this if you use the swift casting option from MCP, although you can use it without that option or MCP, you don't need to download the main file to use this version.
It is named as "Animation_Compilation_BWVOHAA"
ANIMATION COMPILATION WITHOUT ALMALEXIA SPELLCASTING AND WITH BETTER HAND TO HAND ANIMATIONS
This version doesn't have the Almalexia Spellcasting animations but has the one handed animations and it changes the walking forward and running forward animations when you have your hand to hand abilities "unsheathed"
ANIMATION COMPILATION WITH ALMALEXIA SPELLCASTING AND WITH BETTER HAND TO HAND ANIMATIONS
This version has the Almalexia Spellcasting animations as well as the one handed animations and it changes the walking forward and running forward animations when you have your hand to hand abilities "unsheathed"
ANIMATION COMPILATION SNEAK VERSION
This version uses the vanilla sneak animations, this version is invaluable for the people that likes to use bows/crossbows/thrown weapons in third person while sneaking.
ANIMATION COMPILATION SNEAK ALMALEXIA VERSION
This is the same as the one above, except that this one uses Almalexia spellcasting.
INSTALLATION
Copy and paste the meshes folder in "Morrowind\Data Files\", but i recommend to use wrye mash to avoid an unnecessarily tedious installation or uninstallation
UNINSTALLATION
Delete the following files:
Morrowind\Data Files\Meshes\xBase_Anim.kf
Morrowind\Data Files\Meshes\xbase_anim_female.kf
Morrowind\Data Files\Meshes\xbase_animKnA.nif
