Waffle_McQuack Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 (edited) Pretty much what the title says I've downloaded Billy's, Bakafactory, Nibbles and Funnybiz's packs but I only want some of the animations each of them has I know I could just select and register them ingame but I want to avoid loading the entire pack since FNIS is also giving me an error about "too many animations" whenever I choose all 4 What's the procedure to do something like this? Also, is there an external application that can let me directly open the hkx files to view them instead of having to preview them inside the game one by one? This is what FNIS tells me exactly, which happens if I choose to load nibbles Spoiler Skeleton(hkx) female: XPMS2HDT (126 bones) male: XPMS2HDT (126 bones) Patch: "GENDER Specific Animations" Patch: "SKELETON Arm Fix" Reading Babo bigguy V1.0 ...

Dorabella Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 You installed animations without the necessary requirements Those 439 warnings, they say a lot. Click consistence check to view errors

Click consistence check to view errors That's just the zaz pack missing and one of the other animation packs, I'm assuming, trying to load those animations It's not really a huge issue Mostly I'd like to make a separate pack myself, with only the animations I want to keep but it'd be my first time tinkering with skyrim mods/animations Edited April 17, 2025 by Waffle_McQuack changed nibbles, it's another pack

"I'm assuming" - based on what? Those errors and warnings are there for a reason. Deal with them. There's little point in trying to create your own custom SLAL if you can't install perfectly good packs without FNIS getting upset. As for the animation limit there is mod which over comes this.

Waffle_McQuack Posted April 17, 2025 Author Posted April 17, 2025 Thanks for the limit increase tip Thing is about it tho, that's not the main reason I got for making this post While having more space is nice I simply don't want to be loading entire packs when I could just curate a personal one with whatever I like That's my aim Get X animations from billy, Y from nibbles, some from baka and just put them into a new "WafflePack" so to speak Mainly to have a cleaner setup Also, the assumption was due to all 400+ referencing missing animations with a ZAZ prefix to them although I never had said pack Installed it and they're gone, now everything loads with no issues (also thanks to the mod you link) 41 minutes ago, Grey Cloud said: Ye gods.

Grey Cloud Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 Well now that you have Zaz installed corectly you should be able to uninstall it cleanly without the error messages popping up. Assuming that you don't actually want Zaz. I'm not sure how simple/difficult it is to make a SLAL pack as far as I know not many on LL bother doing it. There is also the problem of finding the info on how to do it. There is a (simpler?) way to edit out the animations you don't want from an existing pack but again, finding the info on how to may be tricky. 1

The process isn't difficult, but it is TEDIOUS. I'm sure a lot of ppl do these and just don't share them since none of the stuff in them is really "yours". You can look at a SLAL pack and reverse engineer how they're made easily enough. General process is this: 1) You have all the relevant .HKX files in the correct folders 2) A FNIS list in each folder listing all of the files and the animations they're tied to. (This is how the system knows an animation under \werewolfbeast goes with a corresponding animation under character\animation Make sure to rename everything within the lists to match the new naming convention. You can leave the animation .hkx with the same names, but it'll generate (harmless) consistence issues when running FNIS. The animations in the lists need new names though so that they don't overlap with existing animations or cause SLAL/Sexlab loading errors. These first two can just be a matter of taking a pack you want and trimming out everything that you don't want in it. Make sure to use separate folders than the original to avoid consistence problems. Just rename the folders from (for example) "Billyy_CreatureHumanoids" to "WaffleSLAL" or whatever. 3) Run "FNIS Generate" through whatever mod manager you are using. This creates a behavior file that links all the individual hkx files into something FNIS can use later. 4) Manually edit the jsons for the SLAL pack to make sure they reflect the animations you are wanting and do not include those you don't. Observe the same renaming conventions you used earlier. I would recommend not just using the same folder names since you may want to install a new SLAL pack to see what is inside and not have to re-register everything. (For instance Billyy updates monthly and you don't want to have to redo this every month.) Once this is done, run FNIS as usual and you should see your pack included in the list. Then within the game, the new SLAL stuff should be there. Other than running "FNIS Generate", nothing about it is esoteric. Just time consuming.

Thanks a lot for the info Do you know anything about external viewers for the animations by any chance? Tried something called hkxposer but either I'm slow or it doesn't support sl animations Worst case I'd have to just go through each of them in-game, which is tedious but would work tbh I was just slow, had forgotten to install HCT Also, yeah I wasn't gonna redistribute the final pack for obvious reasons, like you mentioned It'd just be a collection I'd maintain for myself Edited April 17, 2025 by Waffle_McQuack 1
