Initial Release
Stances NG
Stances NG introduces a dynamic system allowing the player to swap between different animation sets on the fly.
Stances NG differs from the original Stances - Dynamic Animation Sets mod in a couple of ways: 1. Stance swapping is handled entirely through an NG DLL featuring improved responsiveness and compatibility with all game versions (VR should work but untested). 2. Stance swapping does not rely on third-party mods, like dTry's Key Utils, which could have been prone to delayed or false inputs.
Features Stances NG provides three animation stances that can be swapped between at will: Bear, Wolf, and Hawk. By default, the player is not given a stance, but will enter a given stance the first time the keybind is pressed. Keybind can be changed in the included StancesNG.ini file, a list of acceptable keybinds can be found here. Modifier keys can be used. By default, the keybinds are Shift+X for Bear, X for Wolf, Ctrl+X for Hawk. Premade folders are included for use with Open Animation Replacer. Folders are in the 7,000,000 priority range. First person folders are in the 6990-8000 priority range.
New in 1.1.6:
Cycle Stances.
If you would prefer stances to only be bound to one key, you can now toggle the "cycle" setting in the ini.
New in 1.2.3:
Neutral stance.
It's optional in the ini and disabled by default. To enable it, set a key in the ini.
Neutral Stance will use whatever the highest priority OAR/DAR folders you have that are not Stance specific
List of included folders below (alphabetized for ease of reading):
Spoiler:
Show
Battleaxe - Bear Battleaxe - Hawk Battleaxe - Wolf
Dagger - Bear Dagger - Hawk Dagger - Wolf
DaiKatana - Bear (checks for 2H Weapon w/ WeapTypeKatana keyword or WeapTypeDaiKatana keyword) DaiKatana - Hawk DaiKatana - Wolf
Dual Axe - Bear (All dual wield folders are based on right hand equip) Dual Axe - Hawk Dual Axe - Wolf
Warhammer - Bear Warhammer - Hawk Warhammer - Wolf
How do I use this mod? 1. Download this mod 2. Download the animation mods that you would like to use 3. Place the animations in the relevant folder (list above).
Making New Stances Folders For those who want to create their own folders here are the relevant condition checks:
Compatibility Compatible with all game runtimes (tested on 1.5.97, 1.6.640, and 1.6.1170 - theoretically compatible with VR but untested)
Issues FOR CONTROLLERS: if your custom control map edits the functionality of your chosen modifier key then it will not be read in the ini. There is a note in the controller ini optional file about this.
Not really an issue, but the player does not start with any Stance buff on a New Game. If you have no default animations to fall back to (as all your animations are in the included OAR folders and locked to NPCs or similar), you will T-pose if you try to attack. Sheathing your weapon and activating a stance with your given hotkey will fix this issue. As of version 1.1, you should automatically receive Wolf Stance on a new game/first time character load if you have no other active stance.
