Byllis Creature Animation pack Complete- Ostim edition 1.0.0

OCreatures — Billyy Animation Pack (Complete)

Now Available

Four hundred and twenty-seven animations. A hundred and sixty of them had never actually played.

Billyy's creature library is the largest there is, and the OStim pack that has been circulating covered most of it. Most. The rest was listed in the files, named in the hubs, and pointed at by scenes that loaded without complaint — because the animation files themselves were never shipped. The game was told to play something that wasn't there. No error, no warning, nothing on screen. Just a scene that quietly did nothing and a hub entry that looked fine.

This is the whole library, converted for OStim Standalone and hung off OCreatures' own hubs. 427 animations, 2,319 scenes, 44 creature types, built from SLAL v10.5.

What's in this build:

• 160 silently dead animations brought back — the ones whose .hkx files were listed but never shipped

• 75 animations added that were missing or referenced and never wired up — 19 canine, 8 werewolf, 5 riekling, 5 gargoyle, 4 falmer, and the tail of one or two per species across bear, boar, chaurus, deer, draugr, giant, goat, hagraven, horse, mammoth, skeever, spider and the dwarven constructs

• The entire Creature Furniture Invis set, which had been left out altogether

• Every series now ends on a climax stage that plays once and hands the scene back, instead of stopping dead on the last frame

• Two broken scene references fixed — a skeever stage pointing at the wrong name, and a troll hub entry missing its prefix. Neither was a small thing: a wrong name doesn't break one stage, it breaks the whole series from that stage on

Fixed in v1.2:

• The boar FFC series — ten scenes built for a mounted boar and two women were typed as a plain boar, and sent back to a two-actor hub when they ended. Leaving a third actor behind mid-navigation is exactly the kind of thing that takes the game down with the alignment menu open. Typed and routed correctly now.

This is not the humanoid pack with creatures bolted on, and it is not the circulating pack with a new version number. It's Billyy's creature library with the holes closed.

Requirements

• OStim Standalone

• OCreatures — Reforged v1.5 or newer. This is what makes creatures actually climax; on older builds the climax stage plays without the payoff

• A behavior generator — Pandora (recommended) or Nemesis

Installation

1. Install with your mod manager.

2. Run Pandora. Creature animations will not appear until the behaviors are generated — this is not optional and it is the single most common reason someone sees nothing.

3. Launch. The new animations show up in the same hubs as the rest. There is no separate menu and nothing new to learn.

Known gaps — named, not hidden

Two hub entries point at animations that do not exist anywhere in Billyy's library: a chaurus three-way and a dwarven ballista hold. They were dead in the previous pack too. Nothing was invented to cover them.

W.I.P. — what to report

This is a work in progress. If something is off, these are the three that matter:

• An animation that plays in the wrong place — wrong creature, wrong hub

• An animation that plays for the wrong pair — wrong sexes, wrong number of actors

• An animation that doesn't play at all

Which creature and which animation name is enough to find it. That's all I need.

Thank you to everyone supporting the atelier. The work that goes into finding a hundred and sixty animations that were only pretending to exist is not the kind of work anyone sees — your support is what makes it worth doing anyway.

The Master went through every file in Billyy's library and found the ones that were lying about being there.

A hundred and sixty of them. They answer now.
