📋 About This Mod
Thrust Attack Animation 1. 1 by Skycaptain ---------------------------------- This mod replaces both the 1st and 3rd person Apprentice level standing powerattacks with a new thrust animation. The new animation is slightly faster and has a bit better reach, making that usually boring and useless attack more interesting and usefull. And yes, the NPC´s will also utilize the new move. :) Installation ------------ Simply copy the Meshes folder into your Oblivion\\Data folder. Uninstallation -------------- Remove the files \"onehandskill1attackpower.kf\" and \"twohandskill1attackpower.kf\" from BOTH \"Oblivion\\Data\\Meshes\\Characters\\_male\" folder AND \"Oblivion\\Data\\Meshes\\Characters\\1stperson\" folder. CREDITS -------- To Keter Sephiroth, who helped me to get started! To lyobovnik, from whos back stab animation replacer I learned to edit the animations! To the makers of Nifscope, it´s one exellent tool! I hope you enjoy it! -Skycaptain
