patch AAF: SavageCabbage Animations Rescaling 1.1.0 beta

This is a scaling patch for AAF scenes

Some animation packs don't use the same scale for the human race, like "My Animation Pack" which was made with the assumption that all female NPCs are scaled to 0.98 (with the exception of some unique NPCs, it's true) and others used different scales per race, like "Gray User" who clearly didn't use 1.0 as Mirelurk scale in his animations.
Add to that the fact that members of the same race can spawn with different scale (like dogs, Mirelurks, Feral ghouls and bloadtflies...) and you find yourself facing a dilemma: enabling AAF rescaling in "AAF_settings.ini" to align most of the animations ? or disabling it and only have some of the them aligned.
This little patch was conceived to avoid having to make a choice (eventually).

There are Four Files (versions) in the download section (all plugins are ESL flagged):

 

1. AAF_SCRS_F: for gendered Male:Female xmls (no FF, MM), it will scale any female in the scene to 0.98 and males to 1.0 if the position played is one of SC's, otherwise 1.0:1.0 (like AAF rescaling).
2. AAF_SCRS: compatible with any configuration (MF, FF, MM), it will scale the receiver (first actor) to 0.98 and all the others to 1.0 if the position played is one of SC's, otherwise 1.0 for all actors so don't forget to select the receiver first when starting a scene with AAF wizard if you install this version.
3. AAF_SCRS_Cr/AAF_SCRS_Cr_F: Same as AAF_SCRS/AAF_SCRS_F but if the actor race is listed in the override list (SCRS_RaceScaleList) he will get scaled to the specified scale for that race (see description below).

 

Actors will get rescaled on position change too, so you can safely switch between SC and no-SC positions on the fly ( @spicydoritos thanks for the reminder).

Disabling AAF "scale_actors_for_animations" setting is highly recommended but not mandatory (not just in "AAF_settings.ini" but in any ini file in AAF folder with higher priority: for exemple: "rxl_bp70_settings.ini". @Snapdragon_ thank you for pointing that out)

 

Since 1.1.0:

 

Thanks to @spicydoritos who discovered the correct scale for Mirelurks and Bloatflies, i added support for them and decided to give the user more freedom. Now you can add your own scale for any race you want (vanilla, DLC, or modded) by editing a single property in Ck:

 

1. Open SCRS_Quest, go to script/property, select SCRS_RaceScaleList and clic Add:

 

 

2. In the new window, select "RaceID" and add the race you want (use filter to find the race ID):

 

 

3. Select "RaceScale" and enter the correct scale for the selected race (e.g 0.85):
 

 

4. Finally, hit ok until you close all the windows and save your plugin.

 

So now you don't have to wait for an update if you find a race that is not properly scaled in animations (don't forget to send me the correct scale with screenshots if you want it to be part of future updates).

I also added a Holotape craftable at any Chemistry station under "Utility" (see screenshots) that lets you enable/disable SCRS scaling. You should be able to "safely" uninstall this mod at any time (stop the script in holotape or console first) but there is absolutely no need to (just stop it in holotape if you don't want to use it anymore).

 

Disclaimer:

This patch works as intended on Humans/Ghouls/(Super Mutants and dogs too but not tested extensively) but not Feral Ghouls. From what i gathered, feral ghouls don't have a consistant scale (1.0 e.g) like other races, some FG animations will aligne perfectly with 1.01:0.98 ratio, others with 0.96:0.98... . So unless someone can provide a list with "position IDs" and corresponding "FG scales", i can't do anything about it. But this patch is still relevant in this case: it will lock the scale for you to 1.0 for all feral ghouls so you can effectively use "SAM" or xml to manually align actors for each position individually.

 

1.1.0  This mod doesn't have any DLC dependency, so if you want to add a scale for a DLC race (or mod added race) don't forget to load the appropriate plugin in CK when editing "SCRS_RaceScaleList".
