📋 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
