Great, ta. I'll probably relz two different SkeletonScaleds then.

Ryuujin_0: Great, my instructions are intelligible .

I'll try and get this out the door in a few days, I'm just trying to make some animations that'll change an actor's apparent weight. I've already got comprehensive 'amputation' animations, anyone got any other ideas?

Thank you so much, that's just hat I needed to try and get BackDragon's Havoc Skelletons to behave like the RPF ones.

Or, well, maybe that's an idea.
Combine toaster's skelleton with both RFPS HS into a super skeleton. :dance:

Ok... I was thinking... we all know how much of an improvement it was gameplayworth the xiliavi to be NPC thanks to Slof and friends... now you can talk to them, they are more clever and can be low level processed. So I was wondering if you could fetch a fast replace of the goblins ingame with NPCs with your skeleton, so we could have talking, low level precessed goblins. That tribes they have plus this could lead to a FUN goblin wars plugin, mimicing the wars they can do by moving their staffs, but while the player is not around, so they are a more living and cool part of the world.
I know this is off-topic, but stil...
And on topic, having fat npcs around would be nice, most rich people tended to be fat, we could now set a really VISUAL difference of the lyfestyle of the NPCs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coCe0nCahTA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOPz0QPJAfo. These use versions of the goblin skeleton modified to work with NPCs and players. The first one (NPC goblins) is waiting on the latter (playable goblins) which is currently waiting on OBSE functionality. Replacing *all* goblins from step 1 isn't totally necessary, I've made a script that lets you convert them as and when you need them so they're compatible with Companion Share, that's all you need to do on-the-fly as no existing goblins need to do NPC-y things, and new ones/changes to them can remake them as NPCs.

It simply cannot be imagined how much thieves need skeletal differentiation - fat people have to be rich, and rich people generally carry money. Pickpocket's wonderland. Downside, how do we script that a fat guy's pants are too tight?

I love you?

good work TT, this will help me on some races I'm working on. I do have a question on death though. I thought I saw a skeleton revert to normal size in the video of one of the cats. Will this still be an issue for scaled bones and what happens to them on death?

My fat guard in Anvil stayed fat after his death, as you can see on my pictures. No idea if something can trigger a revert.

Great work on the zombies, I was just looking for this sort of stuff for advanced/real necromancy. I've already made flexible zombie body part misc items so this should work really well. Deadly Reflex for zombies perhaps?
Edit: Now that I think about I could get the zombies to eat dead things. With their parts dissapearing in the process.

A question : How will modified skeletons work on vanilla animations (the other way round, I mean), or more specifically, those made using the vanilla skeleton ?

The whole point of the project is that these new bones are unaffected by vanilla animations, so they'll all work fine. You can see in the videos in the OP.

However, the project's slightly held up as somehow adding new nodes in the chain up to the head skews head look by massively exaggerating all the movements.

Headlook isn't done by kf animations like everything else, it's done by some other undocumented method I don't know how to work with or around. If anyone has experience dealing with skeletons could they give a look in on either of the threads?

I just wanted to say that I think this is really impressive and I'm hoping modders make full use of it

gonna give this a try. Should be fun!

It'd be funny to have add that guy from GTA 3 who lost his arm in Vice City that said he was in Vietnam in Oblivion. Someone has to know who I'm talking about. The guy that huffed paint or whatever in Vice City. Haha. This is such a great idea.

Haha, the dude with the tank/rocket launchers, I think? He was awesome.

Great Mod TT, i was wondering how you did the Dismemberment-on-the-fly thing, because i tried to do it but it didnt work, could you possibly upload the esp you used in the video so we can try to do arm slicing things with it.

Thanks, MEB

Oh man, you are expert in the skeletons! Please please please answer! (Sorry for bad english)
Is there a way to make that weapons did not change in scale by equipped scale NPC with relativity to the former size?

example: a HUGE npc equipped silver sword and this sword in his hands is so small as before.

Rite necromancy post :/
