======================================================================
Important Note from Daekas (me)
The original file was split into two parts, one female and one male version.
There were optional sprinting-animations included that had to be installed manually.
I took care of that. Thoroughly.
Version 1A = Original Sprint / Only 2hSword Animations
Version 1B = Original Sprint / All 2hWeapon Animations
Version 2A = Optional Sprint / Only 2hSword Animations
Version 2B = Optional Sprint / All 2hWeapon Animations
For male and female character!
Keep in mind that the animations were not made for anything else than the 2hSword's!
So, even with some tweaking, equipping other 2hWeapons looks Desync!
======================================================================
Use only female or male version, not both at the same time, you have been warned!
This mod replaces the two-handed weapon animations.
Current version changes only:
Idle, Equip, Block, Turn, Walk, Run and Sprint.
