{UPDATE-2017 May 08} Tera Elin Race 2

[PsychoMachina]

Those are the HDT bunny ears.  So far the Bunny (1&2), Cat, Mouse, Ram, and Fox (1) have physics.  I'll include them with the update.

 

 

[Mud]

It looks great, but I think the last hand signal at the end's a bit off. Doesn't quite reach the face, 'cause of the different body proportions, and all.

[PsychoMachina]

The body/head proportions don't perfectly match the Tera version.  I wonder if Elin 1 with the Tera body has different results, won't know until I finish that update.

[Vittek]

Aww i hope elin 1 also gets the dance and hdt ears. Looks supercute!

[PsychoMachina]

Elin 1 will get the same love.  The animation and HDT ears/tails will be included with the Elin 1 update.

 

[PsychoMachina]

I encountered a slight problem regarding the voice file for the dance animation; it's contains background sounds.  Not a concern when outdoors, but out of place when indoors.

 

Anyone know how to clean a sound file?  More specifically, remove the 'outdoor' background sound and leave only the Elin voice.

 

If anyone can do this or enlighten me on how to do it myself, contact me.  If not then I'll just leave out the voice during the dance animation.

 

[Camila]

I'm not familiar with sound editing programs so.. I did the best i could.

 

Tell me what you think.

[PsychoMachina]

Thanks Camila, but the voice is heavily muffled.  I'll look around for the voice file or rip one from a vid, unless someone who has the game can upload the file.

[Camila]

Yeah i was trying to find any friend with the game but no sucess..

[PsychoMachina]

Thank you for helping, Camila.  I'll worry about adding sound another time, this is only unnecessarily delaying everything. 

[Camila]

Alrighty. And no problem at all (:

[Mud]

I'll see what I can do about recording the voice from my game for future use. I don't think I'm able to extract it directly.

[PsychoMachina]

Alright, I'm uploading the new Elin Idle Animation for all to test.  The animations are limited to the base animation (side-to-side swaying) and the new Elin dance.  The base animation might look different and that is because it is a variant of that animation.

Let me know if you like the variant or the original and the most liked version will be included with the update (or I'll just include both).

 

REQUIREMENTS

• latest FNIS.
• run FNIS Generator for Users.

This will overwrite the original Tera Elin 2 Idle files.

TeraElinRace_Dance_IdleAnimation.7z

 

[Camila]

My Fnis "crashes" when i try to run it ):

If i do a second time it skip two things and then give me two warnings at th end

[PsychoMachina]

It appears I included an XML file with the Behavior files.  I don't think this would cause any problems, but remove it anyway.

Go to MESHES > ACTORS > CHARACTER > BEHAVIORS and delete '0_master.xml'.

 

When running FNIS Generator, select 'Gender Specific Animations' and 'Skeleton Arm Fix' from the Available Patches at the bottom of the FNIS window.

 

The only error you should get is for 'idlebehavior.hkx' which FNIS does not recognize, but has no adverse effects when generating the behavior files.

 

 

If you used the original Tera Elin 2 idle animations without problems then I have no idea why the dance version will cause problems as I only replaced the animation files (CustomIdle_01_Base and CustomIdle_01_Action01 thru CustomIdle_01_Action05).

[Camila]

It gives error at "data\meshes\actors\character\behaviors\FNIS_FNISBase_Behavior.hkx"

and yeah I do use the original idle animations for Tera Elin 2

Should i look for the 0_master.xml inside your BSA?

[PsychoMachina]

Curious if anyone else is having the same or different problems.

 

Here try this version that does not use a BSA and '0_master.xml' has been removed.

 

No BSA version

TeraElinRace_Dance_IdleAnimation.7z

[Vittek]

Is this for Elin 2 only? Or can I give it a go for Elin 1?

[Camila]

Now it worked, with a little warning, but that should be no harm: 

 
Do you think you can make her stop the dancing animation right after one loop ends? As it is right now, she'll put her hands back to the hip and then end it. (Like she'll start it again but it stops)

@Vittek

It's for the Elin 2 only atm, Psycho should update the Elin 1 as well when he's available to.

[PsychoMachina]

@Camila

The way the animations work, the base anim plays then randomly the other anims (custom01_action##) initiates.  Even though the animations are set up to 'play anim > end > play next anim' the sequence is random so you will experience this where it looks like the dance will loop a second time, but transition to the base anim.

 

I can try removing the additional custom action anim files so that when the dance stops it will guarantee to transition to the base anim, but because of the randomness this could mean longer periods of nothing but the base anim playing.

 

Don't remove Custom01_Action02 - Custom01_Action05 files because the behavior files need to be edited also or else you will get moments when the animation transitions will become 'jerky'.

 

About the warning FNIS gave you, that refers to the 'idlebehavior.hkx' that the idle animation uses.  Nothing to worry about.

 

 

@Vittek

In due time the dance idle will be added to Elin 1.

 

[Camila]

Hey Pyscho

I found someone to record the Elin dance sound with no background annoying

 

 

 

 

There is still the sound of her feet touching the ground but that's the best you'll get i think >: (you can't mute that in-game or it'll mute her voice too)

 

Cheers!

[PsychoMachina]

Thank you, Camila.

 

Here is the audio from the vid.  Let me know if this is suitable to use with the animation.

 

Elin Dance.wav

 

 

[Camila]

I think it's looking good.

I editted with Sony Vegas for a single loop and removed the small steps sounds.

 

Elin Dance Single Loop.wav

 

What'cha think?

[PsychoMachina]

Sounds better, but there remains the rustling sound behind the voice.

Here is the voice file I originally was planning to add to the dance.  If anyone can edit this to, at least, make the background noise hardly noticeable or edit the file Camila provided, that would be great.

[Camila]

This is the best i can do using my sound file
