📋 About This Mod
!!! REQUIRES OBSE 0020+ !!! !!! OPTIONALLY ALSO AddActorValues !!! KamiCAS lets you use multiple THIRD PERSON animation styles for walking and fighting, for new and old weapons and including dual wielding! Animations are divided into categories, and for each category you can define as many animation styles as you want. Not one, not two, but however many you want to use! And you can switch styles at the press of a single button. But wait, there\'s more! NPCs can use the same animations, either a fixed style or randomly chosen. You can also turn it off if you don\'t want NPCs to use custom animations at all. Instructions on how to set it up are in the download. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE README CAREFULLY! KamiCAS is not hard to set up, but you have to follow the instructions. KamiCAS does NOT come with any animations of its own! You have to get them from elsewhere. If you find some you like don\'t forget to endorse them, the authors deserve it. :) CATEGORIES KamiCAS supports the following animation categories. Hand To Hand 1H Shortsword 1H Longsword 2H Claymore 1H Blunt 2H Blunt Bow Staff 1H Polearm 2H Polearm Sword & Shield Blunt & Shield Polearm & Shield Crossbow Dual wielding 1H Katana 2H Katana COMPATIBILITY Idle animation mods Deadly Reflex Unnecessary Violence -- At the moment (N)PCs cannot play idle animations when using a skeleton other than the default. This means idle animation mods will not work unless you switch back to the default skeleton first. This also causes conflicts with Deadly Reflex and Unnecessary Violence. This will be fixed in a future version when there is OBSE support for it (not possible to fix otherwise). Mayu\'s Animation Overhaul -- KamiCAS basically supercedes MAO, so you do not need both. vipcxj\'s Real High Heels System -- Compatible, but you need to have vipcxj\'s plugin collection for this to work. TheTalkieToaster\'s Playable Creatures -- Compatible as long as you never cycle animations. CHANGELOG Version 2. 2 - Bugfix concerning the detection of which weapon category should be active on the player. An unfortunate side effect is that changing weapons in the inventory menu causes your head to disappear! If you do not want this, set bDisableInventoryUpdate to 1 in the .ini. - Added support for Armamentarium dual wield weapons. Version 2. 1 - Recompiled all scripts for non-beta OBSE 20. - Now includes Controllable Universal Skeleton 1. 6 by Growlf. - Added support for vipcxj\'s Real High Heels System. You need to have vipcxj\'s plugin collection for this to work. - Added support for TheTalkieToaster\'s Playable Creatures: Switching from default to default skeleton no longer triggers an actual skeleton change, which previously caused the creature skeleton to reset to the default NPC skeleton. Version 2. 0 - Added an option to lock specific NPCs to specific styles. See the LOCK NPC ANIMATIONS section. - Added bDisableInventoryUpda
