AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic - ACP

Alternate Combat Animations will be available from update 2.63 onwards*.

You need to put the contents of the following archive in your override folder. I offer three flavours: zip, 7z, and rar. You only need one, and make sure that you put the files directly in your override folder, no subdirectories allowed.

http://www.amiaworld.net/acp/acp_override.rar (30 MB)
http://www.amiaworld.net/acp/acp_override.zip (29 MB)
http://www.science.uva.nl/~dcslob/amia/acp_override.7z (2 MB, yes that's no typo)

You can select the new animations via the Rest menu.

The pack is optional. If you don't download it you simply don't see the funky new moves and nothing is teh broke.

* aka in two hours from posting this.

Maybe I didn't read this correctly, but I just did it and noticed the 7zip when you "extract here" makes a new "override" folder. So if anyone else is going to use that, be sure you put the 7zip someplace other than your NWN folder so you don't over-write your current override folder if you have any custom portraits or ect. (As I almost did, maybe I'm just inept with these things).

Same thing with teh .rar .

Anyway, I declare our Lord Poultry the 8th wonder of the world. *nod*

Downloading now.

I used the 'override' path on purpose. Gives a bit of a hint where to put it.

This looks like teh awesome.

Once installed, i'll see everyone else's chosen animations, right?

I assume so, but I am not 100% sure. Is a bit hard to check on your own.

I am trying the barbarian style now. I -love- it! It -is- teh awesome! Thanks Disco!

Note that if you're wearing one of the loincloth things, those seem to mess with some animations.

Other than that, it works perfectly, and I am teh gladz. x3

Hum... must test.... and must give these animations o NPCs....

Desc says : The visible cloaks from the 1.68 patch are supported for all the styles except Demon Blade and the unarmed combat sets. However, please note that as of this release, only the earlier BioWare robes are supported.

Can't see my PC's cloak with any of the combat styles, though.

((The demon style buggs with tabard, as does most Animations with Tabards)

It better work with monkeygrip.

You know, I hadn't thought of that... I'll test with Darren too.

Let us know the results. It'll upgrade the widget from cool to awesome.

My response when I unpacked that 2MB file was :shock:

Wasn't expecting 99% compression at all. It'll have to wait to test, though!

The unarmed styles definitely don't like the cloaks. They make Lomir's head appear to bob up and down separately from his body and sometimes he lashes out separately from the coat. Not sure if anything can be done about this.

However, this override otherwise is incredible. The animations really do make combat feel less... Generic. I'm particularly fond of the demon blade style, even if it clashes with Vesad's shield. The warrior style is good too.

Also Disco, if you make the rar a solid archive it comes down to 2.9 MB

Monkey grip verdict (mind that polearms use different animations than greataxes! YMMV. Darren uses a Halberd and Tower Shield):

Kensei: Bad.
Assassin: LOLably bad.
Fencing: Doesn't work. Says so in the description.
Barbarian: Don't notice any difference between this and normal?
Demon: Bad
Warrior: Actually doesn't look too bad.
Rest are unarmed. No comment.

I love the Demon Blade style, looks really good both with shield and dualwielding, and its a free 'no cloak' fix

Fencing too is awesome, especially with one hand weapon and no shield.

Unarmed combat animations does "NOT" work for goblins or Kobolds.

I do not know if it works on Halflings either.

Works for Halflings.

But -No- Combat animation works for Kobolds at least.

You are just the best chicken there's ever been. Who's a good chicken? Whoooo's a good chicken?! *tosses mega cookie treats*

Kensei style ftw!

So... I'm not techincally smart with these haks and such and reading the files. How do you choose a fighting style? Is it based purely on the weapon you choose? Or is it a big mesh of em.

Please Halp..

Once you have the file in your override folder, go into the rest menu in game. Then select acp under the options listed. There you can choose.

Sounds awesome! I can't wait to try it out IG.

For all the unarmed Monks, you lose you cloaks when you switch styles. Just a heads up. By "losing your cloak" I mean the visual, not that it gets unequipped, by the way. So.... I guess unarmed Monks rejoice or cry a tear of sorrow. ::shrugs::

The same applies for coats. I believe it applies to all the "Robe" effects that were added in that one big update which introduced coats and tabards. From what I can tell, THAT part of that body would act like it is using the defualt NWN fighting style, while the rest uses the custom one, leading to... body parts seperating.

YAY!!!!!

I'm officially in love

Thank you Disco! :mrgreen:

Kensei's all right with a single weapon, but it is exceptionally cool dual-wielding, btw.

Is the arcanist style avaliable for mages still?

Edit for Monster races: It won't work with monster races such as Kobbo's and Goblins because they aren't dynamic models. Actually, there is a thought. Maybe we can add dynamic models for those races with the HAK pack...hmmmm....

hahaha fat toons cant change styles

"You are too fat to use different fighting style" haha

edit: also robes tend to "run away" from toons.

But it was the best one.

It didn't come with spike beds, a fakir flute, and flying carpets.

Woo! Thanks, Disco, for the new toy!

Shame that there are a few issues with the 1.69 update armour extras, but aside from that, a great addition.

Pfft, nobody likes the Muhlrondi anyway. Bunch of egyptian wannabes. Plus you've ruined the chance of thousand of "ming the merciless" clones popping up, and thats a crime that should not be commited.

Has anyone else noticed that with the majority of the ACP styles, females behave like males?

They stand like them, run like them, and sit on the floor very unladylike.

Oh great and mighty chicken a simple suggestion if I may... are all the additional updayes such as this... and the haks (if/when) be added to the "Download" sidebar... this would also be handy for the portrait downloads we have packaged together, or at least a link to the spot.

Just a thought to make life a little easier for the newbies

I went to the arena in Wiltun and tested with the "No Damage Weapons", I must say that monkey-grip + halberd works better than say - Greataxe, spear, Greatsword.

By far.

Monkeygrip on my behalf is rather similar. Warrior style works however barb style with the great axe has more impressive one handed swings.

So far the only downside is for Monkeygrip users, (wich is sad, Since they've paid 25DC's for their feat)
For Kobolds and Goblins ( And probably Hobgoblins )
That you cannot use Demon Blade exept on a human.
That the Tabards+ the coats + the Smith's dress doens't work.

But aside from that, Wich can be crafted away by most - this is an exelent pack.

((Tested with a Shifter with the 1000Faces Widget))

It's just my impression or that Demon style has a bug ? When he runs, his legs are missing the chest (actually the trunk). ^^ Or perhaps I was drunk :shock:

I'd like to see the Arcanist style back in. Would be nice to have the options...

Would be very nice...

I actually like Demon Blade being human male only, gives us something to brag about and make all the prancy ears jealous, mvuahahahaha!

It's been explained, but if you use these styles currently with any content added in 1.69 you may experience glitches. The torso pieces seem fine, but the limbs have issues. Apperently the creator was working on it...apperently.

Then you should give other races unique fighting styles like elves prancing about like the girls they really are!

Oh, I would love to see an elf toon prance!

Disco didn't make the pack, he just edited it to work with Amia. So new animations are a no go I'm afraid.
