[FO4] Various AAF XML files 2.4

 

These XML allow extra combinations with the existing animations, so you can have more possibilities when choosing actors / animation / furniture. I'm making some XML files while I'm learning how things work. I'll dump them here if they seem interesting enough. Please let me know what you think.

 

BETA FILES (from v2.2.1)

I'm going to post on the bottom of the description some extra files I use. They don't kill you, nor crash your game, but there's a small chance that they can cause little downsides (animations with the same name repeat on the Wizard menu, page down getting stuck while browsing the list while page up works etc...). My suggestion is use them if you have a working game, as a new option to increase variety in animations, so if you'll have an issue you know it could be caused by them. In that case, you only need to remove the files and everything comes back to normal after you reload a savegame. But PLEASE REPORT ME FEEDBACKS IF YOU FIND SOMETHING, if they are Beta is because I'm having difficulties in finding a pattern. They won't be included in the FOMOD until they are in this Beta category.

 

NOTE ON VERSION 2.1

- After some chitchat with Halstrom, he gave me a very good input and I decided to change all the name conventions. You should UNINSTALL / REMOVE / DELETE all the previous files, if you installed some, I know it's boring but it's probably the last time.

- Now all the files start with AJ_XML, so you can easily regroup them in a mod manager or identifying them inside Data\AAF

- Some animation names changed too: everytime an animation has unlocked gender (so it will be possible to play it as FM or FF), it will be written as 2P and not FM anymore. Remember, actor (0) will be passive.

- New animations added on Vs (check the round tables), also corrected some.

 

NOTE ON VERSION 2.0

- Since I rewrote most things, you should UNINSTALL / REMOVE / DELETE all the previous files, if you installed some.

- The reason behind it lies in the fact that now things are becoming complicated for me and in this way I can add more files in an easier way.

- If you think some animations are missing from the list, don't worry because in few days I'll upload a new file which will add a lot of them.

- Next files (already done, just need to test more): Horizon patch; extra use of vanilla furnitures; a new animation pack (Atomic Beauty)

- In the XMLs I decided to follow the standard assumption that the first actor (0) is F/PASSIVE, while the other ones will be unrestricted (both M or F/active).

 

Install

 

Since v. 2.2, there's a practical FOMOD All-In-One installer (tested with NMM and MO2). Many thanks to Roggvir to help me solve all the issues that came out in the creation.

 

If you prefer some manual installation, download the single archive(s) I attached at the bottom of this description. Select those you want to install and unpack it/them inside your Fallout 4\Data folder, so that the XML files will end up inside Data\AAF. From v. 2.1, every XML file starts with AJ_XML

 

UnInstall

This is only for those who don't use a Mod Manager

- Version 2.1+

Inside Data\AAF, remove every file which starts with AJ_XML (or use a Mod Manager)

- Version 2.0

These are the files involved and must be deleted from Data\AAF (or use a Mod Manager):

>>> FF: SavageCabbage_FF_animationData and SavageCabbage_FF_positionData

>>> Ground: SavageCabbage_Ground_animationData and SavageCabbage_Ground_positionData

>>> Crowd: SavageCabbage_Crowd_animationData and SavageCabbage_Crowd_positionData

>>> Vs SC: SavageCabbage_Vs_animationData and SavageCabbage_Vs_positionData

>>> Vs Furniture: Vs_furnitureData.xml

 

Requirement:

- AAF

- SavageCabbage vanilla pack. If you have the full, I think it works anyway, I'm just not using its animations

- Leito FF patch (which will want you to install Vioxis Strapon too)

 

Description of the packages, their contents and possibly extra requirements:

*** ANIMATION XMLs ***

- FF: adds FF interaction to SavageCabbage animations, in the same way that Leito patch does.

File Names: AJ_XML_SC_FF_animationData.xml and AJ_XML_SC_FF_positionData

- Ground: adds some SavageCabbage animations on the ground (floor) instead than using furnitures. This is for both FM and FF.

File Names: AJ_XML_SC_Ground_animationData and AJ_XML_SC_Ground_positionData

- Crowd: unrestricts gender for M, allowing any F+strapon to play M role. This means FFM, FMM, FFF, FFFF, FMFF etc.

File Names: AJ_XML_SC_Crowd_animationData and AJ_XML_SC_Crowd_positionData

- Vs SavageCabbage : it adds peculiar/tweaked animations on furnitures from the amazing V's Stylish Decor, obviously if you are going to use this package you'll need to install that mod too. It also requires Vs Furniture (see below under FURNITURE FILES)

File Names: AJ_XML_SC_Vs_animationData and AJ_XML_SC_Vs_positionData

 

*** FURNITURES XMLs ***

- Vs Furniture : it will add furnitures from the amazing V's Stylish Decor to the list of eligible furnitures. This file is REQUIRED by any animation file that wants to be played on V's furnitures (actually only Vs SavageCabbage). Also, V's Stylish Decor IS REQUIRED, obviously.

File Names: AJ_XML_Vs_furnitureData

- Horizon Furniture : it will add furnitures from the amazing Horizon mod to the list of eligible furnitures. Also, Horizon IS REQUIRED, obviously. More specifically, Z_Architect.esm.

File Names: AJ_XML_Horizon_furnitureData

 

Issues:

- If you're using AAF wizard, you press PgDown and it doesn't go in the next animation, but if you press PgUp it goes on the previous animation, then please report me immediately

- If you have an error, first of all please remove the file and see if the error goes away. These XML files are loaded everytime you load your save, you are safe in doing it.

- V's are aligned by me, I based it to my char, if you have misalignment please post a pic and we can see what we can do.

- Huge alignment issue: try to cycle all the animations and retry the one who gave you the problem. If it persists, stop the animation and then retry, to see if it was an isolated case. If still persist, please post a picture to show the problem.

- Small alignment issue: please post a picture and let's see if we can correct.

- Group animations are not working? Actor 0 should be F/passive, so maybe you've pick M as first actor instead.

 

Thank you to all these who worked or still work in the previously mentioned mods.

Feel free to do whatever you want with these notepad files.

 

BETA FILES:

They won't kill you, but they require some more gameplay to see if everything's correct.

- Leito Beds: these 2 files will allow to play most Leito's animations on the single / double beds. They are gender unlocked (both FM and FF). THEY REQUIRE SAVAGE CABBAGE PACKAGE AND FF LEITO PATCH! Known issue: when it comes to 2 females, if Player is not Actor 0 (passive), they won't play.
