Mod to restore Katana and Knife animations for v2.0

[psyko81]

Hi!

So far I haven't found anyone bothered by it, but I really liked the pre 2.0 idle and stealth/crouch animations of the Katana (or Knife throw animation) or lets say: I strongly dislike the new ones. Is there any way to restore these?

 

Cheers,

Omg please, the new animation looks so stupid :(

Since I guess no one skilled/experienced in modding tries to restore this right now, I tried it on my own.

Unfortunately, I have no experience in this and what I did so far:

- Restored old Katana animations from v1.63 (works!)

- Problem: old finishers do not work, so I excluded them

- Now everything works, new Problem: when performing a finisher the camera resets to the new animation and then flips to the old animation - not so nice :(

 

Could anyone experienced give me a hint on how to fix this?

 

Cheers,

Ok, same for knife.

As soon as the new finisher animation ends a not so smooth return to the pre 2.0 idle animation happens.

Guess this would need someone to actually edit the new finisher animations (katana & knife) to return to the pre 2.0 idle animation.

 

Its not too bad (for the katana it is only noticable with the chop-off-head animation), but a skilled animation artist would be appreciated - or a any other way to smooth things out!

I'd love this so much!

can you share how did you restore those animations even if it has some problems ? i want to see the old knife animation with sluggish arms instead of the newer and simpler version. No one have ever done this still and you are the only one tried to do so, can you please share the method ?
