My Animation Pack. Updated 15/04/23

[CGi]

Update to SavageCabbage's Animation Pack V1.0.1

All previous dependencies are now fully optional (except for AAF) and the FOMOD installer reflects that.

@SavageCabbage Those XML's should work better for you so feel free to use those as a base. The folders and filenames should make it self explanatory but if you have questions, feel free to ask.

@Tanglin The XML's in this pack should be better suited and make it easier to find what you're looking for.

This needs AAF V68.1 Alpha because it uses it's function to merge furniture groups with the same name from different XML's.

 

Removed. Taken over by the OP.

Appreciate it, but I don't see how it would help, as the furniture xml in your FOMOD installer has the exact same items as the the original. If the original one only allows 2 settlement beds, yours would too.

You were talking about DLC content and the new version has seperate furniture XML's per supported DLC and mod.

No, I wasn't talking about DLC content. I was asking if other beds in the vanilla workshop menu can also work with the mod, as currently, only 2 are recognised.

[dagobaking]

The other beds can work. SC can add them to his pack if he feels that they are the right furniture for his animations.

 

Or, you can also edit the furniture xml to add the additional beds.

The ones listed in the XML work ... sometimes. in my tests they sometimes worked and somtimes not. Especially self placed objects did not always work.
So if the furniture you're looking for is already in the list but not working then you sadly ran into the same problems i ran into.

[dagobaking]

It doesn't sound like that. He just wants other beds added to the search.

 

There are actually a very large number of bed forms. All just look a little different. You have to go into CK or FO4Edit and get the formIDs and add them to the XML.

I've been fiddling around with the XML files, so I know that adding new items into the furniture list should make AAF look for them. However, the list of single beds we have in the XML file has 13 items, but only 2 work. Some of the 13 might not be settlement items, but what about the rest?

 

Anyway, how does one look for the complete list of furniture form and id of vanilla settlement items? And how does one know what they look like in the game? If players are told to add stuff into XML themselves, how does the player know the  furniture form sand id?

The others are probably not settlement beds and there are probably settlement beds not on that list. There really are that many and more variations of beds in the game. Maybe double that list.

 

Each addition to the list slows the search down a little bit. So, it is a good idea to try to be judicious about adding more forms. If a bed appears one time in the entire game and isnt a settlement item, it might be best to leave it off the list.

1. Open the CreationKit and load Fallout4.esm.
2. Once loaded, type "Bed" into the filter field in the Object Window.
3. Select "WorldObjects>Furniture". You should now have a list of beds (may not be 100% complete if there are name variations or non-furniture form versions)

As you can see, there are many beds.

 

You can see what they look like by double-clicking them. You can get the form ID by hovering over the name of the item. In FO4Edit, you might be able to do a similar filter and have an easier to use list of formID numbers.

 

I don't expect individual players to constantly go in and edit XML files. Over time, animation pack authors will likely tailor these things to exactly what people want or others will make their own XML packs for people to use without having to do the CK work.

 

[SavageCabbage]

A lot of furnitures have weird ids, and many don't actually have reference names to find them easily but I'll have a look at some point.

 

Wrt the XMLs, dagobaking made the XMLs for me when AAF was in it's infancy so any advances made since then haven't really been taken into account, as I'm not really aware of any changes. When the XMLs were made I couldn't, for example, have "Bed" referenced in two separate furniture XML files, which is why I ended up putting them all together in one. If that's different now then I'm happy to change that going forward.

Cheers pal, I'll add this to the downloads when I get some time. I'll notify you when I do.

The new merging functionality for furniture groups with the same name is a direct response to your animation pack so you can create it way more modular.

You're always welcome to suggest new functions to make your life easier.

 

P.s.: The pillory (not Hydro) furniture uses a FormiD i could not identify so i commented it out since it resulted in seemingly random errors in AAF.

Cool, thank you. I know one function that I'd like to know whether it works or not, is whether you can target non-human actors, super mutants to be exact. I worked on some test animations recently to see how the rig works but I can't target any super mutants with AAF, I'm running the 66.0 alpha of AAF at the moment.

Okay, makes sense. I never got any errors in my game so I never thought it would cause any for others, and my hame is heavily modded with like 500 mods all squashed into merged esps.

 

The main post has been updated with the new files too, so you can remove that one you put up if you want. Also thanks for putting them in a ba2 file.

[sikamikanico78]

has anyone found out how to trigger the animations? when i build stuff like chair or beds all i can do is sit or sleep...what am i missing??

[SavageCabbage]

You need AAF (Advanced Animation Framework) to use it, you trigger the animations through that.

Super Mutants are fully supported and so are most other creatures.
i recommend you install the male EVB from the Compatibility Patches. it's specifically made for AAF with own morphs and shite.
You NEED version 68.1 alpha or higher to use those new XML's.
Else furniture groups are not merged so the last loaded group replaces all other what results in missing animations.

The offset points to 01 in a file that references Torture Devices. 01 is usually an official DLC but even reducing the FormiD, it's not a valid iD inside Torture Devices or Devious Devices. i really have no clue what you referenced there.

 

Attachement deleted ... and you saw the BA2, ey? ?

 

P.s.: You can easily publish updates with the BA2 in place because loose files overwrite the ones in BA2's. So no need to re-create it everytime unless you want to.

there are no sounds on the new mod files, is it intentional?

would it work if i just copy the audio folder from older versions of this mod or does the new scripts doesn't include pathing to the audio folder?

You mean the old vanilla pack or the FOMOD?
if you use the old vanilla archive, then you need to remove the animations that use the HydroPillory from the animation XML's.
