Possible to get viewable Feet and 3rd Person working together?

[jamochawoke]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to get Seph's hand to hand animations working with the 3rd person animations in 1st person view mod. I've experienced great success so far by moving Seph's hand to hand 3rd person animations into the 1st person meshes folder after I installed the 3rd person to 1st person animations mod. However, I can't get feet to show up unless I'm using an armor set that has the feet built in like Arena raiments or Dark Brotherhood armor.

 

What the 3rd person to 1st person animations mod does is mock up a new skeleton.nif that uses the 3rd person animations in 1st person view. The result is quit stunning. With a bit of work I've been able to get Seph's kicking animations to work in there too. Yet, if I don't use the raiments or brotherhood armor I'm missing feet in my attacks in 1st person. There is a mod that makes all armor sets like the arena raiments so you get feet using Seph's animations in first person but makes it just one piece so you only have one piece of armor to enchant and it also adds an immersion killer by making all those 1 piece armors available on a vendor or barrel at level 1. It's really a terrible fix but I noted how it does work.

 

What I would love more than anything is to be able to see the player character's feet in these animations in any armor (even without any armor on, just clothing or in the buff) when in 1st person view. Right now it's limited to only working with the Raiments and Brotherhood armor types.

 

I was looking at how that guy added feet to all those armor sets and I was wondering if it would be possible to simply add feet to the skeleton.nif in the 1st person folder and if that might actually work (or if its even possible).

 

I'm not the greatest at editing these things so any help at all will be awesome!

 

EDIT::: I've also seen the OBSE version where they force the camera to go into an extremely close 3rd person when in "first person" mode... however, it's a terrible workaround and is extremely buggy (and laggy). I'm looking for a more direct fix.

*Bump*

 

Anybody able to figure this one out or give me any tips, pointers?

 

Will check back in a few days after I try some stuff.

Have you contacted the modders of your resources?

They may have some ideas.

 

I was having some sizing problems with some nifs,

contacted the creator and had copies of corrected versions in a couple days.

Actually I never thought of contacting the modder except to ask permission to use the resources in the first place. That's an excellent idea! To this day I still don't know why legs are only displayed on certain armors like the raiments and dark brotherhood stuff. But I aim to find out how those were done and make it work off of the basic skeleton so it works for everything if I can.

I've finally gotten a great set of Mythic Dawn playable armor with icons but I have yet to figure out how to get the meshes to be visible in first person. Looks a bit strange having one's sword just floating out in front of you, slashing the baddies all by itself. Any input? I'd love to be able to fix up several armors with this problem. Thanks.
