📋 About This Mod

Animation Replacement Beta by Oshiel This is a set of animation files I made a little while ago as a personal project. I released them, but made the mistake of doing so on my geocities website, which caused all kinds of problems with bandwidth. Eventually the files were taken down (though not by me), and I started working on another set for use with another project. In the meantime, though, I decided to properly release this set in a place where it is easily accessible to everyone and maybe people can get a little more enjoyment out of the game. A disclaimer - this animation set never progressed beyond Beta status. At the time I made it, I was learning the ropes of both 3d animation in general and the particular way things had to be done in MW. As such, they are not quite the quality level I would like, nor do they replace all the animation in the game. I made them specifically to replace certain animations for the player character, and as a kind of proof of concept once it became fairly common knowledge on the forums that this was possible. Disclaimer Part2: This is some seriously anime/ninja influenced animation. As such it has been described as \"over the top;\" fair warning. In general its something to play around with; try it out, and if you find the game a little more fun playing with somewhat different animation, feel free to enjoy it. If not, please forgive me - but it did start out as a personal project =) To use the animations, first put extract the three files from the zip into a sub-folder in the Morrowind/Data Files/Meshes folder you can easily recognize; i.e, make a new folder named Reanimation or Animation Replacer. Open the construction set and load Morrowind by clicking on \"File\" and then on \"Data Files,\" then select Morrowind by double- clicking on \"Morrowind.esm\" and clicking \"OK.\" Now, once Morrowind has finished loading, click on the \"NPC\" tab in the \"Object Window.\" Search for the NPC named \"player\" and open the properties window by double-clicking on it. Choose the race you will most likely play - the reason for this will be explained later. In the right-mid part of the window, you will see the \"Add Animation File\" button. Click on it. Now you will need to browse to the folder in which you\'ve put the downloaded files. You\'ll see you can only select \"MercoCreatureFix.nif\" or \"XMercoCreatureFix.nif\". The third one is not visible here, but it is still needed, so please don\'t delete it. To replace the animation file, select the \"MercoCreatureFix.nif\" file, not the one with an X in front of it. Click open. At this point, changing \"player\'s\" race will reset the animations to the default and you\'ll have to go through the above process all over again if you want the animations to work. Thus, its best to decide which race you plan to play before setting up the mod. Ignore any errors you may encounter; they are about missing textures a
