Combat Stance Reanimation V3.

0
Tired of bad vanilla idles? Had enough of your character looking afraid to fight when holding a
weapon?
This animation replacer might just be what you need.

Description:
This is a vanilla replacer for all combat stances in oblivion, plus some extra animations like walking,
blocking, casting and running.

These are based on things I've seen and learnt from martial disciplines regarding weapon use, they are
also a bit based on vanilla animations that came with Oblivion, improved like what they always should
have looked like.
My animation designs and inspiration for some are also taken from DMC stylish mod, so you may (or
may not) find some animations similar to DMC stylish in terms of design. I used DMC stylish as
resources to understand and inspire this mod, so it's very possible some things will look similar.

Requirements
 Oblivion
 Blockhead
 Properly functional BSA redirection (OBMM, Nexus MM, Wrye Bash,
ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated…). A lot of utilities do this, but it’s needed for every vanilla
asset replacer mod. If you’re installing replacer mods and they don’t work, it’s possible your
Archive Invalidation is not working, so don’t come complaining here that this mod doesn’t
work until you’ve checked that your Archive Invalidation is functional.

Installation
 I recommend deleting previous versions of the mod first, I’m not sure how it will behave with
previous non-blockhead versions of the mod.
 The Core Folder is homologue to the Data folder in Oblivion and contains everything you need
for a basic install. Just drag and drop the meshes folder from it into your own Oblivion/Data
folder combining it with your own meshes Folder. Overwrite if asked
 Variations contains alternate versions of almost everything plus some optional ideas, but it
needs to be manually installed, by placing the contents of your variations of choice into
Specialanims folder under _male (Oblivion/Data/Meshes/Characters/_male/Specialanims)

Uninstallation
Just delete everything from this mod you have installed. Only 2 locations: _male and Specialanims
folders. Then files need to be deleted. Compare with the mod if you have trouble discerning which
files you have installed, it’s wise to use a utility to install/uninstall this so it can keep track of installed
files for you.

Changes in v3.0:
  Attempts to create a Neutral Idle that makes sense for both genders, no sissy males, no female
gorillas.
 Tweaks to previous versions of combat stances, especially two handed, one handed and staff.
 Variations for almost everything, that now require Blockhead. This mod is now esp-free, it only
needs files and Blockhead to work
 New walking facing directions
 New set of floating staff animations

Compatibilities
This is a replacer or vanilla animations. It’s incompatible with mods that replace the same. I’m not sure
if it’s compatible with older versions or how it behaves with the older setting. I can predict nothing
catastrophical should happen, but things are most definitely not gonna work like they should. If you
have a previous version, I recommend removing it before installing this one. And delete any
Specialanims.esp file that may exist in your Data folder.

Random stuff...
 You liked my work?
 Thank you very much! I really appreciate it, and it makes me happy to know you're enjoying
my work! =)

 You didn't like it?

 Then shut the hell up, don't download this and go bother someone else with your trolling.
Trolls will be ignored and/or reported on sight.

 You want to make your own additions, change this or upload it somewhere else?
 By all means proceed, only remember to put my name on it, as a measure of respect for other
people's work
I'm not looking for fame, but respect is important to me.
