📋 About This Mod

Animation Compilation

Disclaimer: Version 0. 4. 0 of this mod has not yet been tested by me. Some of the information in this description might therefore be outdated and list features that are not included.

Description

This mod combines the Almalexia casting animations with Dirnae's running animations and fixes the errors that were usually accompanied with them. It also enables the player to see the casting animations in first person.

More Detail

This mod is a derivative work of Dirnae's animations that were subsequently updated by Hrnchamd who fixed the very fast footstep sounds and very fast creatures and NPCs. Dirnae's mod includes new walking, running, and one handed weapon animations. Such as running with a weapon, slash, thrust, and chop. It also includes the Almalexia on-self, touch and on-target animations that were made available by thugqwerty.

What I did was fix the animation errors that could disable certain creatures' and NPCs' abilty to move by removing toe and tail references in the animation files that are usually only to be found in beast races. I also combined Dirnae's animations with the casting animations and made the casting animations visible in first person mode. I did this by replacing the first person animations with the third person animations similar to what DarkNut's '1st Person Enhanced' mod does (excluding the ability to see the player character's chest).

Installation

You do not need anything other than this download. The mod can be installed by simply copying and pasting the Meshes folder in your "Morrowind\Data Files\" directory (I recommend Wrye Mash for easy install/uninstall). Naturally, you can also install it via Nexus Mod Manager.

Use this fix if you have issue with attacks: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/55059

Uninstall

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

Compatibility

DarkNut's '1st Person Enhanced' is not exactly conflicting with this mod, provided that this mod overrides all of DarkNut's files. You will not see the player character's chest in first person when you override Darknut's files.

💡 Beginner Tips
