it would need also something to actually stamp then?

I just created a pretty good sneezing animation any advice on getting NPC's to use it.

I like it! I would just make sure the hands are grasping the broom the whole time. If you were to make the animation stop upon greeting, could the broom still be held like a broom is usually held when not sweeping?

Arcimaestro Anteres can you take a look at the files cause I think the animation plays ingame, but it does it extremely fast to where it's barely noticeable it even played.

Great idea and nice animations!!!
I was always puzzled why slaves in mines were not working but simply hanging around.

However, MW has several hardcoded limitations in it's animation control system/scripting that are not resolved so far by any extensions like MWSE. For instance:

1. Only idle sequences (btw, only seven, not nine, are working as expected) can be controlled via AIWander function for NPCs (there is no way for direct scripting control of PC animations). PlayGroup and LoopGroup function calls are producing not reliable results.

2. There is no problem with looped animations like on the video but there is no reasonable to my knowledge generic solution for the requested here in several response posts transition animations. MW game engine often "forces" NPC to display "Idle" sequence between any other sequences; "Loop Start/Stop" text keys are simply ignored. What sounds simple ("stand up, pick a book from a shelf") might require heavy complex scripting in a specified game scene (NPC should "know" where shelf is etc.).

3. Game engine always rotates NPC's head in the direction of the nearest actor (creature, other NPC, player) and that usually "corrupts" the displayed animation.

4. Game collision detection system can be a serious obstacle in certain cases e.g. sitting animations. Fortunately, this can be resolved by modifying collision structures of particular sits meshes or within animation themselves (repositioning of root bones and "Bounding Box").

5. Game engine "knows" how to animate only the upper body e.g. torch animations.

Anyhow, IMHO such animations (actually animated poses) for carefully selected NPCs could definitely make the game more realistic. BTW, in two-handed weapon animations (broom) weapon bone is also animated.
Please continue working.

Good luck!

Yes, your character's paper's which he claims to be stamping!! It appears after he's done talking.

This all looks great. Just to let you know, fishing is already done - Qarl did it ages ago, just didnt release it as part of his big pack. I think it was part of the underground? I can send it you if you like.

this is how she keeps the broom while not sweeping. To make her keep the broom differently from this, I should rework also the walkForward animation...



sure, send me it



Thank you



I could replace the book you see in the video with the paper, and then, next time you see him, he would have the book. We'll see.




oh yes, send me it!

OT: Are you still working on the real-time gondola travel?

Here is the new video of Granny Varis in Mournhold.

I was very disappointed the first time she told me "I clean this temple" but she didn't do it.
Now I fixed it

I am making now, the animations for the famous musicians.

Now they are animation for Npcs.

The fact they are Npcs, means they can be used on both Better Bodies and vanilla Npcs. They are like every other Npc, so you can choose their race, you can choose hair, faces and clothes they have normal dialogues and react normally if attacked.

Here is a video of a drummer. I made him an Ashlander.

Wonderful! This will indeed make creating musicians much more flexible! :dance:

The drumming sound is built into the animation? I like it, but would you also consider a silent version since most people will want to use this to replace the musicians in tavern mods where selectable music will be playing.

I think it's just placed there, this animations only affects NPC and don't add other models (just a supposition )

Great work! I'm really impressed with cleaning woman and drummer, but Soccucius is too "mechanical" in my view. Anyway, it seems you're talented in animating, so maybe you will take care about taverns, making a few animations for drunkers and pvssyrs just sitting there, not doing anything special? Taverns are so strange, with all these men standing along the walls. Some simple animations for sitting people will make Morrowind much more lively and real.

Like I said earlier, The Regulars - sitting NPC is a mod Arcimaestro could expand on. That's a mod which make some people sit in taverns.

Oooh! Can you make Creeper do that? After all, he says he just wants to play his drum!

Anteres, you've got to make Maiq be fishing, after all, that's what he was supposed to be doing...

EDIT: Can I have the original unedited whistle sound? The one that's not made into "The Road Most Traveled", I want to make a whistle with all the other Morrowind tunes.
