FinalCloud Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Hi there. I am trying to setup Dance Synchronizator v3.6 on my install, but I cannot for the life of me get FNIS to run with it. I am using Mod Organizer and to try and install it I copied my skyrim directory and installed DS over the coped Skyrim directory. I then took the contents of that added by DS and put it into a zip file and installed it plus all the BSAs for DS. Now I am unable to run FNIS with this (I couldnt get DS 3.6 to work before I switched to MO from NMM either (swtiched to MO last week. Liking it!) I have noticed that the behaviour file that comes with DS called mt_behavior.hkx seems to dissapear upon running GenerateFnisForUsers.exe I tried to rename it to ds_mt_behaviour.hkx which stops it from disappearing but genfnisforusers.exe says that it is an invalid fnis behaviour file or something. Does anyone have any idea how to get FNIS to run with DS 3.6? Is it possible? Cheers!
PsychoMachina Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Never run FNIS after installing Dance Synchronizer or any of RSV's mods unless you have to (e.g. installing new mods or uninstalling mods that require FNIS). He does not use FNIS, rather, he created an installer that generates the behavior and anim files. Here's the installation instructions. http://casualmods.net/DanceSynchronizator/DSMainEng.html Warning!!!If you're using FNIS, every times you'll use FNIS for Users, you'll have to reinstall Dance Synchronizator by DS Installer, at the other case FNIS will delete all required strings from defaultmale.hkx and defaultfemale.hkx files. So basically, you need to: Run FNIS generator for users for any mods that require it. Exception is DS. Run the DS installer. If you run FNIS afterwards for whatever reason, you will need to run the DS installer again.
FinalCloud Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 Ah ok, damn does the installer actually work with MO though? Seems pointing to the virtual skyrim directory of MO with DS installer would be impossible.
PsychoMachina Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 The installer requires direct access to Skyrim.esm and Update.esm for it to generate the needed files so it will not work with MO's virtual folders. What you will need to do is copy the required FNIS behavior files (after running the generator) to the Data folder. Data/meshes/actors/character/_1stperson/behaviors/mt_behavior.hkxData/meshes/actors/character/_1stperson/characters/firstperson.hkxData/meshes/actors/character/behaviors/mt_behavior.hkxData/meshes/actors/character/characters/defaultmale.hkxData/meshes/actors/character/characters female/defaultfemale.hkx Run the DS installer and let it update these files (some or all, not exactly sure) along with generating the other DS files. Move all of the files (behavior files+DS created files) out of the Data folder and install them with MO like any other mod. If you have any FNIS generated behavior files in MO's Overwrite folder, move them to a backup location so that they do not overwrite the files from DS and as a precautionary measure, if having problems with animations in-game, you will have the original behavior files.
FinalCloud Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Aye, I have tried this, though I just copied my Skyrim install and used the copy with my generated FNIS files, took a copy of all that was created by DSInstaller and installed it in MO. but I just get a CTD when I click new game or try and load a game, not sure if it is to do with the String localization (it could be as I notice that everything has $ signs in front of it in the UI, i.e. $Load, $Save etc). But I have run the installer and clicked English localization, perhaps the DS Installer localization defaults to US while I need UK (assuming there is any difference). Quite confused! I mean I actually gave up trying to get it to work even when I was still using NMM for the exact same problem.
PsychoMachina Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 If you are crashing and exhibit problems associated with localization files then I think I know how to fix this. Check your Data folder for a STRINGS folder. If you have one, look within for the Skyrim English string files (total 3). If you do not see them or do not have a STRINGS folder then do the following. You need something to extract BSA files. I use BSAopt at nexus. Use the BSA extractor to extract SKYRIM-INTERFACE.bsa to a location outside of the Data folder. Copy/paste the STRINGS folder to your Data folder to add the loose localization files. You can delete any localization files for other languages as you do not need them. Now retry the DS Installer. It could be that there was some error with the installer finding the English strings or something of that nature. If you are still crashing then I have no idea.
FinalCloud Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 Sorry, been busy, I will give this a shot, cheers for the suggestion!
kerosin88 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 My Problem is the same , if i load or start a new game after a short duration in loading screen the game crash. But with the FNIS .hkx everything is fine. I got the String Folder and all strings in it (3 Total). Maybe help to get DS to work would be great.
skrimplayerz18 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Two really quick question please.. I have DS 3.6 installed....and am attempting to play "Sexy Love" animations...(which is working) however...the dance animation I have for that song looks different from this animation: Question 1. Is that a different dance animation than the 3.6 currently has for the song ? Where can I get the above animation ? Question 2. Is anyone else experiencing a problem with the "Dance with Me" and "Dance Me" conversation commands? Nothing happens with I use those.

But with the FNIS .hkx everything is fine. I got the String Folder and all strings in it (3 Total). Maybe help to get DS to work would be great. I am having the same problem. I have followed the installation instructions for DS 3.6, including not running FNIS afterwards, and I CTD after a brief time when trying to load or create a new game. When I run FNIS for Users, I no longer CTD, but DS does not work (as the author said it would not). I have all of the English localization files in the Strings directory. Anyone have any thoughts?

I also face this same Issue The music works but they never dance, how to solve it? I have to run FNIS after DS Installer because it will CTD me if I don't run FNIS after it.
binarylover Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Exactly the same issue here. CTD on loading any save or starting a new game. According to the Dance Synchronizator v3.6 installation page, everything is installed correctly. I've given up to be honest. My best guess is that it's an issue with load order or a conflicting mod, but there's no real option for support with this mod as far as I can tell.
TotalMentalCase Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I am currently using Dance Synchronizator v3.7 and everything seems to work fine except for the 'Choose Dance' option. I press NP1 and nothing happens. I can start the dance but it is always Aitakatta. I've checked and all the required files are present and I made sure to install DS after using FNIS. Everything seems to be in order but that one function just refuses to work. Could someone please help me figure out what I've done wrong, please and thanks.
Zelkin Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I have exactly the same issue as TotalMentalCase, the choose dance and choose camera options are the only things that doesn't work, the dialogue menu doesn't show up I was previously using the 3.6 version of the mod and it worked perfectly I have checked the Dancesynchronisator.esp with TES5edit and i have found that every files under Dialog topic folder have this written : <Error: No strings file for Istring ID...> It is perhaps the culprit ? Please help :/
Mike aaml Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 at least you can install it, everytime i try to use the installer everything seems to go fine at first but then it just shuts down on me, i can't seem to get the installer to work at all
juliojakers Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I have the same problem as TotalMetalCase... It seems work fine, but not allow me to chose the dance or camera... So anyone know how to solve this ??
ColonolNutty Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 I made a mod to the dance synchronizator anims to make them compatible with FNIS, I don't modify the anims directly, I just allow FNIS to pick them up. If anyone is interested
4skyrimmodonly Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Hi ColonolNutty! that sounds convenience, may i try out your mod. thanks
ColonolNutty Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Hi ColonolNutty! that sounds convenience, may i try out your mod. thanks I've only got the 3.7 anims now, but it'll still work, it'll just only work with 3.7

I only mention 3.7 because some of the animations in there are from 3.7 and not 3.6. I'm still trying to get 3.7 working, it's being a right pain in the behind at the moment
