Hi 0ska, I wanted to thank you so much for your mod and thought it would be good to let you know that I have ported it to Skyrim Special Edition: Side Kick Bash Replacer - SSE Port
This mod is amazing but i have a 2 recommendations:
1) U should make this work with a Hotkey so we can bash and kick together. its........... immersive lol 2) This is an amazing mod and i would love to have a mod like this but for unarmed combat
Thank you for the praise :) To add a hotkey I think I need to learn how to use Dynamic Animation Raplacer, its quite complicated and I haven't yet committed to learning how it all works haha, for the unarmed combat i could have it replace a certain action like the left hand power attack but thats all I have access to without the DAR tool as far as I'm aware. Let me know if you'd be interested in a specific unarmed move replacer or I'll reply again to this comment if I get my head around how to implement my animations into DAR
I assumed this would work fine with DAR but if im correct in thinking it allows multiple randomised animations for the same action then i guess it could overwrite others, im not very familiar with DAR but ill look into how I could tailor my mod for that scenario
It's simply not working for me...? Just to make sure I'm not stupid this animation should activate when you have a shield and a weapon equipped, then hold down the shield button and attack (to bash), right? I made sure I have the Power Bash perk and yet my character still does the regular bash animation. Is there something I'm missing here?
Ah yeah sorry I meant to update for shields but got sucked into learning how to model/ texture armour and forgot about it.
Currently it only replaces the weapon bash animations,
If you want a quick fix go to "This PC >> Windows (C:) >> Program Files (x86) >> Steam >> steamapps >> common >> Skyrim >> Data >> meshes >> actors >> character >> animations" then copy paste 2hm_blockbashintro.hkx, 2hm_blockbash.hkx and 2hm_blockbashpower.hkx and replace the "2hm" bits of all three with "shd" so its shd_blockbash.hkx etc... (I had no clue about anything mod related before the covid lockdown, its easier than it sounds)
Otherwise I'll add a vortex file with a fully optimised shield animation by tomorrow evening (UTC).
Unfortunately it's still not working for me. I tried: shield + sword, shield + axe, just shield and greatsword.
Everytime I try to bash my character does a grunt and no animation happens. I turned off PCAE2 and re-ran FNIS just to make sure that doesn't interfere with anything but the same thing kept happening.
This mod is at the bottom of my animation mods as well. Not sure what's going on?
Just double checked with fnis and it works for me, a small mod like this might not be worth all this hastle haha but i want to get to the bottom of it incase its a common issue if you dont mind helping me troubleshoot, youre definitely not running special edtition? what other mods do you have? if youre happy to share your list, i can quickly scan through their files to see if any of those alter the bash animations
Well I feel dumb now. For some reason MO2 didn't flag this mod for Skyrim, eventhough it clearly is. But yes, I do run the Special Edition. It's just that, in the past, when I got an animation that wasn't meant for SE the game would either not load or give my character a T-pose after running FNIS. But neither happened for this mod.
So I ran the kick bash mod through the Cathedral Optimizer tool and it works flawlessly in SE now. Sorry for the posts and eh... my stupidity.

I tried to fix this as mentioned above the video but if it is the case that you just didn't read that; I'm sorry for the confusion

Hm I just tried the weapon bash (2handed weapon, right?) and it didn't work either.
I don't see a kick no matter which direction I face.
I'll await that upload fix and see if it helps.
If not I may have some googling to do :/
All my other animation mods work; including FNIS.
