📋 About This Mod

v0. 6 add The Behavior Data Injector (BDI) soft requirtment , for who are unable to add precision annotations.

Due to the oversight of registering precision annotations in the first-person behavior graph,

if you encounter situations where precision annotations don't function correctly in-game,

you will need to download BDI as an additional step.

Description:

For example:

In the original skyrim, the vanilla powerful attack when holding two swords will not have a precission hit capsule in the left hand when standing or backwarding. This is because the vanilla behavior has close on adding annotations.

Showcase from KG_Sith

Like in this vid you can see that only stationary and backwards power attack do not have any hit capsule on left hand weapon - https://streamable.com/vmj9mj

so now with this fix you can add not just second hit capsule and even any payload to this animation

I also fixed any other attack animations under 1hm_Behavior that turn off the annotation restrictions

Initially, KG_Sith raised this issue, which prompted me to delve deeper into it. With his testing and feedback, I was able to develop this mod. Therefore, special thanks to him for the information provided.

Requirements:

Nemesis or Pandora

Compatibility:

It shouldn't conflict with other related mods. I test it on Nolvus modlist (which have up to 2000 mods )and didnt see any conflic report in Nemesis debug file,

Installation:

Use the Mod Manager to install this mod . Then, run Nemesis or Pandora with "Fix Vanilla Attack Annotation" enabled.
