replacing default attack animations

[Elizinator]

so ive recently returned to Oblivion, and ive decided to attempt something like modding. Im not a big fan of the default animations for attacks, so i decided to replace them. The Firt mod i used to do this was Pizz's DMC stylish, whihc is definitely very cool, but not quite what i was looking for. so i went to find another one, and discovered a FFXI animation replacer. it replaces the various "twohandskillXattackpower" .nifs. However, i wanted it to replace the NON-skilled power attacks. i just dragged and dropped the basic Power Attack in, and that worked fine, but more than that, i had to edit with NIFscope.

 

my PROBLEM is, even with the editing, only one works. i configured it to AttackLeftPower in NIFscope, and saved the file as TwoHandAttackLeftPower. and it worked fine. the same pattern hasnt worked for any of the others. the animations will just not take.

 

HOWEVER< dragging and dropping the old files from DMC stylish DOES work. i can find no discrepancy in the data between the two. that is, everything that makes the DMC animation work is also present in the modified FFXI ones. and yet, again, the dont work, except for one, which most mysteriously is only viable as a left power attack.

 

just to be clear, i have tried all of the various animations provided, as both left and right attack, and never have they worked

 

anyone with a bit of experience help a girl out? this is really starting to frustrate me, as it just doesnt seem to make any sense

 

P.S. in case you were going to ask, yes i have deactivated the DMC mod. i even tried completely clearing the _male folder and trying to get only this animation to work, but alas that too failed

 

Thanks in advance for your replies.
