New monsters/creature mods not behaving correctly : III

» Sun Aug 08, 2010 7:44 pm

I've encountered this problem before on previous Morrowind installs... no idea what's causing it. And the same problem appears in several unrelated monster mods as well. Some monsters will not move an inch, this seems to affect only humanoid ones like skeletons, dremora, etc. They will just stand in one place and sort of sway their arms back and forth in a weird way. When I kill them they'll do some kind of half-working death animation on their upper body only, while the legs remain still. So I'm guessing the issue is related to the lower body parts somehow?

Here is my mod list if that's any help

Do you now have, or have you ever used Liztail's Animation Kit?

Yeah, I got that installed (along with some other things that don't show up like MGE and MWSE).

Okay, Liztail's Kit. Try the "fix all" button, or whatever it is.

The problem is that Liztail's Kit, in anticipation of people wanting to play upright beast races, adds toe and tail bones to the base animations. Those bones are not compatible with all mod-added bipedal creature animations. If the fix button doesn't work, you'll have to rename some animation files, so try that first.

Thanks, though I haven't had the fortune of running across any of the new monsters yet to see if it actually worked. In case it didn't, what are the files I need to rename?
