PaperTiger74 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I'm pretty new to modding and right now I'm just fooling around with things. I have a few ideas for mods, nothing fancy though. The thing that struck me when I browsed the CS was the lack of idle animations that would really make sense in the oblivion world: smithing (using hammer), mining (using pickaxe), fishing (with pole or net), sweeping (with broom). I've seen some of these in other mods, but then they come packed with other stuff I don't need. I just need the .kf files for the above activities (or similar), the rest I think I can do myself. Is there a resource center for these kind of basic files? Are there any packages with animations that is free to use? Any tip or link would be appreciated.

Vagrant0 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Your best bet is to politely ask the makers of these files to release them as a resource, or get permission to use them as a resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardmirth Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 If the files you need are in the mod it is easy to extract them. If you are planning to use them for a public mod then you will need permission. Speaking of idles, does anyone know where I can get the 'sword over shoulder' animation or a mod that has it included? I have instant kudos for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilkoal Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 go here, and save the file as .kf instead of .jpeg/.jpg i dont want any kudos though, give them to someone who really does something lol ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be able to check it out until this evening but am really looking forward to it. Really I've only given one kudos so far to Vagrant0 because he devotes so much time to helping people here and has helped me. In this case this is a mod I really want and may have gotten a bit excited when I asked. But I need help finding another kind of mod as well maybe you will feel better about getting kudos for one more? I posted a topic on HUDs - search my profile for it if you like. Either way thanks for linky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilkoal Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 hmm, i think the one you were describing on there was darnui here are some links darnui with major jim's stat page (either it is the whole pack or it is just the stat page) darkui'd darn i use a green recolor of the darn/darkui ;) it is very minimalistic, though i have been having a bit of trouble with the starting menu popups. plain darnui still though, no kudos are needed ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardmirth Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The plain darnui is probably what I was looking for. Thanks. It's really nice although my only dislike is that the inventory icons and text therein are a little too small. As far as the idle pose I found something in that link that looks like it although it says it's a zip file and when I try to save it as that or even rename the extension I'm not able to open it with Z-Zip. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place or doing it right but I could never figure that site out anyway. Once I d-led something from there that worked but I think I was just lucky. :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 To help you find mods on TESNexus that contain new or modified animations, use the Tag Search. Place a checkmark beside "Animations Modified" to find all mods that have been tagged as having modified KF files. Then do another search using the "Animations New" to find all mods tagged as having completely new KF files. Then it's a matter of finding which ones you want and you have the information necessary on those pages for gathering permission to use them in your mods.

worm82075 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 no kudos are needed ;) Evil you just got one from me, because you are doing the very thing that earns you respect on these forums (from me anyway) and that is helping and conversing with others in a kind and respectful manner.
