Author(s): alexscorpion



Description

===========

This mod changes the first person animations for all pistols and automatic rifles.



Location

========

it's a replacer.



Details

=======

Here we go ... this is my first attempt to modify fallout's animations. The goal was to create a more realistic aim. There were several problems though ...

first .. i still can't figure out how to export the anims from 3ds max correctly .. therefore all of the anims were created in NIFSKOPE ... so please no remarks about the quality :D .. it's tough as hell to animate in nifskope :).

And second ... because of the fact that many weapons share the same animations and differ in shapes and sizes it's impossible to align every weapon to the crosshairs.



HOW TO DO IT YOURSELF.

I have added my anims support for all vanilla autimatics and pistols...But you might not be able to use these anims with some of your custom pistols and automatic rifles ... here is how you fix it .

Open your pistol/rifle .esp plugin in GECK ... find and open your weapon in GECK ... press the sound & art tab ..uncheck(if checked) don't use the first person IS animations. OK and SAVE



I've already added support for the latest weapon mod kits .. the esp is included in the download.
