Animation Menu by JamesLurk

About the 1. 3. 1 update:

Animation Menu 1. 3. 1 & Anim Loop/Stop 1. 3. 1 – Changelog

Updated the Animation Menu:

Added a new keybind (L key) that instantly replays the last animation you executed.

Once you play an animation, it is stored in memory, and pressing ''L'' will replay it without needing to reopen the menu every time.

Improved Anim Loop/Stop:

Both now support dedicated keybinds for quick control:

I key → Start animation loop

O key → Stop animation

This makes it faster and easier to manage animations without going back to the menu.

About the 1. 2. 1 update:

• []If you already have the old version installed, please delete the old files inside your menu folder and perform a clean install with these new files to avoid conflicts.

  []If this is your first time installing the mod, simply copy the data folder into your ScriptHook directory.

  Due to the large number of animations, the menu might experience a slight delay when opening, as it loads a list of over 4000 animations. It’s highly recommended to use the search bar to navigate through the list efficiently.

  In the next update, animations will be organized into categories for improved performance and navigation.

  📦 Animation Menu by JamesLurk

  Please read carefully before installing.

  This mod allows you to trigger a wide variety of animations for your character. It features a menu with a list of over 2,000 animations you can choose from.

  The menu system follows the same structure as the Nomad ScriptHook menu, simply adding a new item to its list.

  Important: you’ll need to have Nomad ScriptHook installed for this mod to work.

  📌 Key Notes & Limitations

  Unlike Watch Dogs 1, where animations could be freely used anywhere, Watch Dogs 2 has certain engine-imposed restrictions set by Ubisoft.

  This means that some animations will only work in specific areas:

  For example, the ‘freehug’ animation performed by the donut guy will only function near the location where that NPC appears.

  Galilei animations will only work within Galilei facilities.

  Gang animations are restricted to areas like Oakland.

  Mission-specific animations (like Wrench's animations at Burning Man) are limited to their respective missions.

  Fortunately, many general animations — such as smoking, using a phone, sitting, or idle behaviors commonly found around NPCs — can be used anywhere.

  I'm still researching a way to remove these restrictions. If I manage to bypass them, I’ll be updating this mod accordingly.

  If you happen to know a solution, feel free to get in touch!

  ⚠️ Important Behavior Note

  When you select an animation that isn’t allowed in your current location, your character will become unresponsive to movement inputs.
