Adding animation to NPC animation tab

[Maniac3020]

I've found the animation tab in the NPC edit window, and I know what animation I want to add to it, but there does not appear to be any way to add another animation, only select from the ones that already exist. I know there must be a way, but I can't find it, and the CS wiki is no help.

 

Can someone help me?

Is this an idle animation? Gameplay \ Idle Animations.

You're going to have to be more specific. I already looked at the Gameplay/Idle animations window. I can't see any way to add an animation to a particular npc from there.

Animations files are read by the CS and the game when they are placed in their appropriate folders:

 

Third person animations - meshes\characters\_male

First person animations - meshes\characters\_1stperson

Special animations - meshes\characters\_male\specialanims

 

Once you have the files in their places, they become available in the CS, as you will see if you check any NPC's animation tab, where Sheogorath's cane walk is available (with SI).

I thought you were supposed to put Idle animations in the idleanims folder. But putting it the the specialanims folder, and then adding it to the animation list on an esp worked too.

 

Thanks.
