📋 About This Mod
DAR Explorer is a single window tool that automatically browse and edit all your animations managed by DAR, and at the same time allows to check all Animation Conditions, installed animations, proper descriptions for every rule (explaining all ESP Records involved), some other miscellaneous features, and most importantly: it plays a live preview of each animation.
The tool automatically locates your Skyrim SE folder, and finds all DAR and non-DAR (NIS) animations already installed; It will display all current Animation Conditions on the left side; then all available Animations and their conditions in the middle.
There's an animations player to the right which allows you to see your Skyrim animations without even needing to launch the game.
Nowadays, you can create, edit and delete any set of DAR animations and conditions. You can even build your own.
I included a short ReadMe.txt along the file, which explains the basics. I promise to expand it as time passes, and feedback is provided.
This is considered quite a "beta version" and updates will continue to happen every few days from now on, until I'm convinced about the quality of the tool.
Bugs are quite expected, and polite bug reports will be gladly received.
As for feature requests, I'll do as much as I can, within reason.
Notice that Nexus takes ages to update the files download. Feel free to collect it from my blog at this link .
