6. sometimes the hkx is  converting but not changing the xml to hkx this also fnis error not the tool go to where you have set youre fnis output from mo2 look for name.xml and use this tool to convert it to hkx https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/128839?tab=files

if theres any errors please say here and i will fix them since this my first tool 

also english for me is hard ty <3

[akameskyrim]

next tool

 

[J0suk3_]

Huge, thanks for making this

b -Tn,-o B_Chaur_B_FJ_S5_0 Chaur_B_FJ_A2_S5.hkx AO_BChaurCumFJ

"o" should be after ","

Options in FNIS animlists start with "-" but after the first one they are separated by "," so "b -Tn,-o" should be "b -Tn,o"

 

After we make sure that everything is working as it should I'll update guide to direct people to your app

works fine for 2 actor animations BUT not for groups

 

OG from Billy

 

Converted by hand

 

Converted by app

 

You need to make it so _A3_ gets changed to _2, _A4_ to _3 etc.

 

Look at this Riekling 5 person animation

4 actors get the same _0 index

_1 shouldn't be assigned here, because it is "female" by default so it's in human animlist

 

the logic here is:

 

_A1_ -> _1

_A2_ -> _0

_A3_ -> _2

_A4_ -> _3

_A5_ -> _4

etc.

It works as I told you, and turns out I might be spitting some mad wrong shit haha

 

 

FFC animation from human animlist. 2 humans are with _A1_ and _A2_

 

Creature (that is male) has _A3_. So what does that mean? That I was wrong about male always being _A2_. 

Does it matter? No, we can change actor index in scene json so all is good. By the way I think that situation like this only happens when it's FFM, MMF works fine. 

Can it be solved? I'm not sure, it seems like it's context based so might be tricky.

Does it need to be solved? The solution is here and it's adding one additional line in json.

 

 

 

If it were me, I would call it finished as far as utility goes. It correctly edits AnimEvents and options and saves a shit ton of work so I'm satisfied by it already.

its not dumb at all you gived me an idea to make the script auto detect them so its easier and faster to use i will update the script and upload it the new script you wil have only select the meshes folder and it auto detect everything TYSM!

now you can use the new version along with the json generator found here  both of them handles everything and is 100% faster than manually editing <3

I tried using both of your tools to generate the anims, and they are showed in game with their icons and name, but the anim itself does noting and the chars stay still. Honestly I have no idea what I'm doing and where I messed it up, but probably has something to be with FNIS 😅

hallo if you have converted them and also converted the charchter animations in the meshes folder for youre mod and copied the new fnis_animlist and created the json and they are showing 

then i am sure its fnis have you used fnis for modders? its in the fnis installiotn folder with blue icon

in here   

Fores New Idles in Skyrim SE - FNIS SE XXL\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users 

and then you have to run the animation behavor to genertate them so launch the fnis for modders click generate select the new converted anim list the one you converted 

and put in it in the mod here an example for fluffyfox 

 

FlufyFox_SLAL_SE_C\meshes\actors\troll\animations\FlufyFoxC\FNIS_FlufyFoxC_troll_List.txt"

 

select FNIS_FlufyFoxC_troll_List.txt generate and done it should work
