FNIS Limits and SLAL packs

[gooser]

I know there's a variant of the FNIS generator exe that will allow me to generate larger animation lists, but I don't want to impact system stability.

 

I'm running into FNIS limits here - I've got a lot of SLAL packs installed, and now I have back off on a few, because some new updates have shown up (Nibbles, Billyys) that have pushed me over the FNIS animation count limit (7000 or 8000 i think).

 

The biggest SLAL pack still is Funnybizness, by Shashankie. So that leads me to the question: Has anyone tried a curated list of Funnybizness' animations?

 

So, instead of just trying to grab everything FB has produced, actually make a judgment on the best ones and only include those in a new SLAL pack?
 

There simply are a buttload of FB animations - but they are not all the same quality. Some are great, some no so great. 

Just wondering if someone has actually gone through them all to pull out the very best, as a subset SLAL pack.

 

(I'm not talking about SexLab animation limits, but rather FNIS. I know how to manually crop animations, just wondering if anyone has thought about this before).

 

Thanks

i had this same issue recently, in the end i did away with the funnybizness pack, i wasn't really interested in the rape or guro animations, would be nice to have them categorised and optional in a FOMOD, but i would only really use the simple consensual animations.

[gooser]

What would be ideal is a system where each animation is rated. But that sounds fairly impractical.

[leyre]

Funny having categories would be a fucking godsend

Does FB have any consensual?

[shadow866]

Yup Funnybizness packs is quite large. I used a time consuming method to reduce the number of animations from those packs.

By removing alot of animations from the Json files and then the same animations from the tex files in the animation folders. And then the animation files them self.

It took a while since i had to figure out what animations i wanted to keep. And since people have different preference your only choice really is by doing the same your self.

Or the easy way is just to not install every Sla pack from Funnybizness and just pick the packs you really want.

And yeah there are alot of animations so you kinda have to guess what the animation is by its name or just test them. Also time consuming.

I've been using the Generator utility that comes with FNIS 7 for the Special Edition. It has an upper limit of about 12000 animations IIRC. It gives you a warning about FNIS version mismatch but I've noticed no significant impact in stability. Also doesn't the shashankie pack have a FOMOD that lets you choose which categories of anims you want to install? It might not be that pack but the pack I'm currently using does.

Yep,  same problem here.. I had to uninstall FunnyBizness.. I love the abundance of animations in the packs but they're too violent for my liking and like you said, some of them isn't perfect and is dispensible to me. 

 

 

Does FB have any consensual?

 

 

Yes, there are but not many.

[Uncle64]

I have used Fnis 6.3 XXL for one long time and it works fine. It can handle 12000 animations.

At one point I was at 13000 animations. That did not go that well, and as Gooser says. There are to many not so good animations.

 

[Ashra XIII]

I too ended up having to get rid of the Funnybizness SLAL pack, as there are just too many animations in there, and not all of them are great. I'd love to be able to pick and choose, but it seems like just way too much effort to go through and edit everything myself, so I just don't use it.

 

For me, it wasn't even that FNIS couldn't handle the animations, but when I would register them all in Sexlab, the game would crash on load. It took me awhile to figure out that the problem was all the animations I had, and after getting rid of the FB pack I've had no further issues.

[smokeybear187]

There is a fomod installer for fb's animations, separated by type.

[Nazzzgul666]

As stated before, using the XXL version doesn't seem to cause any stability problems and almost all my games are quite heavy (and ~9k -11.5k anmations), but i can count the crashes i had since crash fixes was released on one hand. What i have recognized are sometimes longer loading screens, but that doesn't bother me too much. So, if you're still using the normal version i'd think you're still good if you upgrade, if you want more than 12k it becomes difficult.

 

Imho the categories of FB packs aren't that helpful... the only category i don't need at all are female creatures. If we find a community agreement on better categories maybe Sashankie would be willing to make those instead. Guro would be one i don't need.

This is the BIG problem,

The best way would be that the animators combine their animations, for example having 3 variants of the speeds in the same stage rather than 3 stages..

There are plenty of small variant stages that I do not understand why they do not make the effort to assemble them.

The amount of animation files will be drastically reduced .. But that's more work I admit ..

Anyway as animators it is something we must take into consideration.

[razzor69]

I have at least above 10000 animations installed in my game and my game become unstable but yeah i need those awesome animations  , especially Leito, Anub, Funnybizz, Nibbles, Billy etc, for the funnybizz  you really need to choose what you like and i'm not the fans of violence, ampute, guro stuff too so i delete them, i just pick the lovers, wall animation, alot of doggystyle, bound and missionary and funnybizz got great furniture animation too, but some of em i dont like and some of em i like and you cant just delete the hkx data and edit the ini files from each of the animation folder because it can be broken, and yeah Sashankie really need more job to make more category for each animations for example gay animation become separate not put into other category 

[smokeybear187]

I use to just go through the hkx files and move the ones i didn't want into a backup folder without modifying any ini files so i could stay under the 12000 limit. I never noticed any problems in game when i would trigger these animations besides a t pose. Does this method cause stability issues? I've since removed a bunch of poses and animations so I'm under 8000 now.

Or if it would be possible to patch TESV.exe so that animations can be loaded on demand.. Maybe it can be resolved in the same way large hair pack issue has been resolved in past when we had freezes during showracemenu loading.

Also doesn't the shashankie pack have a FOMOD that lets you choose which categories of anims you want to install? It might not be that pack but the pack I'm currently using does.

 

This is the pack I've been using and it does have an option to choose some or exclude other groups of animations. Unfortunately FB has a lot of animations and there are not really enough pack separations, so I have more animations installed than I'd want. FB has a few positions that no one else really has, particularity standing and against-the-wall that I really like.  I haven't noticed any stability I can attribute to the FNIS XXL or number of anims but I have thought about trying to remove a lot of the anims I never use but haven't wanted to spend the time doing the work.

I do not know if it's possible, I'm still not a coder unfortunately. 

 

[panthercom]

 It's such a terrible problem being flooded with too many animations; we should send

some animators to New Vegas to ease some of the strain on Skyrim users

 

 I've had to omit some of FB's animations; I started with the Molag Bal and Guro

categories. The necro category has it's uses, since you can pretend your PC

has simply passed out from being fucked too much. Ultimately, I think FB should

create a 'legendary' pack with his best work, or at least weigh in on the selection

so no feelings are hurt.

[loopie]

I used FNIS XXL and hit well over 14k anims. Needless to say that didn't work out very well, so I uninstalled some and I'm currently around 11.5k. The game loads all right and is stable but... it takes it a long time to initiate animations due to it sorting through all of them.

 

I disabled a bunch more via MCM, especially those that were similar or the same just from different authors, different packs. 

 

I wish I could just flat out uninstall animations via MCM, mark for delete and any of their respective list entries, etc., instead of just disable and unregister. That would be awesome.

 

[Nazzzgul666]

The time it needs to start the animation is due to sexlab, so if that's all bothering you... just don't register unwanted animations and/or disable & supress them in sexlab, that should do the trick.

 

panthercom: FB doesn't do any packs himself, afaik he doesn't even know how.  And i'm pretty sure a best of from FB himself would contain the Guro stuff at the first place.  You'd need to ask Sashankie for that, or anybody else who makes SLAL packs, or do it yourself.

[Oroborus]

I have 12353 animations.

 

Besides slow setting up the game for a first time, i have no bugs.

 

But somewhere between 14k and 15k game has own limit.

 

And will crush badly everytime you trying it to start.
