Content
(Although this is supposed to be an alpha build, it's also available to tier 1 patrons as a means of compensation for the extra week this month that content was delayed because I was busy playing Baldur's Gate 3.)
Hello again folks!
Roughly a month ago I received an excellent suggestion by one of my patrons, Ele Gig. I decided to move forward with this idea and managed to produce a working proof of concept.
With this mod, every item you hover on in the inventory menu, a custom animation will play, such as polishing weapons, holding items, and displaying potions in the player's hand.
By no means is it fully tested, but it does appear to be functional. And pretty satisfying in my opinion.
Requirements:
Address Library for SKSE Plugins
Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine
Install:
1. Install with mod manager. Make sure esp is enabled.
2. Run Nemesis.
3. Tick patch for mod.
4. Update engine and launch.
5. Done!
FAQ
Why is the dll named zAnimatedInventory instead of AnimatedInventory?
Because SKSE hooks are loaded in alphabetical order, and this plugin needs to override ShowPlayerInMenus.dll's changes. Usually it doesn't matter but for this case specifically it does.
Compatible with dynamic animation replacers like OAR?
Yes. Adjust alignment using the included meshes if it's off on the new animations.
Why are the animations kinda mid?
Repurposed vanilla animations. Better ones will come later once my animation partner Moon finishes her own stuff.
Safe to ESL flag?
Do all the necessary procedures such as compact formIDs, then flag and update the idle records and animobjects in the ini file to their new IDs.
Since it's just idle records and animobjects, I'm assuming they don't get baked into safe and are ok to update later. No guarantees though.
No animation for displaying magic spells?
Not implemented yet. Will be added later.
Updates for other mods?
They're coming. I also need to release my old projects to the public this month.
Where have you been?
Baldur's Gate 3 has consumed my life the past week. Also Shadowheart is best girl :3
