Lip Movement and HiRes Shadows (and High Quality Heads) on NPCs in gameplay

Lip Movement and HiResShadows (and High Quality Heads) on NPCs in gameplay

Enables high quality heads (LOD0), lip movement and higher shadow resolution as used in dialog scenes on (human) npcs in normal gameplay.

Don't use head LOD mods like High Quality Faces and change your "MeshLODDistanceScale" back to "1".

EnableMimics mod forces NPCs to use their highest quality head mesh.

Demonstration:

v62kqgRz_wo

This means there is no reason to use "High Quality Faces" or any other head lod mod.

Because those require this mod for working mimics and with this mod installed they literally do nothing.

This means you can change the value of your "MeshLODDistanceScale" back to 1.

Setting "MeshLODDistanceScale" to anything other than "1" generally breaks more than it improves.

What is new? (Changelog) 

I literally don't know what went wrong. It looks like Nexus didn't update the file. i didn't even had the previous version on my harddrive when i uploaded the current version.

- the previous v0. 5. 3 was actually v0. 5. 2

- Fixed a bug; the timing of the reloading of  mimics mod still had an issue, now onliners won't be cut of right after cutscenes/dialogs

- Fixed a bug; reloading mimics mod after cutscenes/dialogs was able to stop onliners that happen directly after the cutscene/dialog

- Changed beard growth and facial animation fix back to previous method to avoid potion effects being cancelled after loading a savegame

- Rework fix of the beard growth bug; had an epiphany about how to trigger geralts facial animations

- (Optional) Added compatibility patch/bugfix for Complete Animation mod (now I am fixing mods I am not even using)

- Fixed a bug; if you are in control of Ciri, Ciri will now blink

- Fixed another bug; after some dialogues/cutscenes mimics mod didn't reactivated lod0 heads

- Rework fix of the beard growth bug; works with DLC beards

- Fixed a bug; after being knocked out by guards the face of some npcs melted (mimics mod unloaded)

- Fixed a bug; dead npcs no longer chew their tongue after death

- Added versions with scripted beard growth

- Fixed a bug; Refreshing Geralt's head during a Cutscene could stop his mimics temporarily (only happen if that cutscene started right after you load a save or change subworlds)

- Added commands "mt" and mimicstrigger" to refresh mimics manually; if npcs do not emote after using the command they never will/did
