Half of shown animations are still relevant, will post my showcase once i feel like doing it, credit to Barshun for the video
!!! HARD REQUIREMENT: !!!
bAutoWeaponNoFiringDelay = 1
(Inside the Stewie's tweaks ini)
it will prevent any weirdness with automatic weapons in the game and it is vital for my mod to work properly, im suprised that some ppl dont have it set to 1 or worse - don't have Stewie's mod installed (seriously why) credit to CarbonWaffle for finding it out
This is a kNVSE plugin dependent weapon animation mod that makes all weapons affected by it feel more unique and satisfying to use
- animations are synced with 3rd person, meaning there are no reload cancels etc. and all reloads are longer
- preserves the vanilla rate of fire for almost all weapons (la shotgun and AMR are the only exceptions)
- no esp or esm
- since it is a kNVSE animation pack, You can use it with other weapon animation mods
- You can 'quickscope' with all weapons affected by this mod, no more 'floating' weapons when exiting IS mode EXAMPLE OF THIS BUG .
