- Fixes the desynced movement animations for battleaxes and warhammers
- Fixes a bug in sneak movement where drawing/sheathing your weapon would put you in the wrong movement type
Dodge Rolls
The Player and NPCs can perform dodge rolls with and without weapons drawn
Dodge rolls have animations for 1st and 3rd person which work in 8 directions
Dodging uses modified sneak controls (dodge if moving, toggle sneak if stationary), which creates a no-lag input
NPCs will occasionallydodge attacks and may retreat with dodges when their health is low
There are MCM options to use a scripted hotkey, add i-frames, and remove stamina cost
Procedural Leaning
The Player and NPCs lean based on their acceleration and turning speed
Leaning is applied on top of your animations, it doesn't replace them
Leaning is a continuous element without jarring transitions,making animation more cohesive
There are separate sliders to adjust first person and third person leaning in the MCM
Grip Changing
Wield striking weapons with one hand or two hand grips, switching with a hotkey
One hand grip is precise, two hand grip hits all enemies in a 180° arc
Skills switch along with the grip -- affecting damage, perks, and where XP goes
Change grip during an attack combo to make custom combinations
Attack speed changes when changing grip, you can adjust the amount in the MCM
Mid-Air Combat Attacks and spells work while mid-air, forfirst and third person
Directional jumping is slightlychanged, rotation is now done procedurally
Weapon Animations
Greatswords (1st & 3rd Person):Basic attacks, idle, walks, runs, turning, equip, and sheathe
Battleaxes/Warhammers (1st & 3rd Person): Basic attacks, idle*, walks*, runs*, turning* and equip (* - when left hand is filled)
Swords/Daggers/Axes/Maces (3rd Person Only): Idle Animation
Reworked Attack Animation System
Basic attacks are generated differently with CGO, the system was changed prevent a glitch in the attack animations related to changing grip
Normally there are 9 attack animations (1 in-place, 4 walking, 4 running) for each attack, with CGO the directional animations are generated in the behaviors using the in-place attacks
The upper body uses the in-place attack animation, the lower body uses the movement animations, and a rotation is applied to the whole body
This may allow for more advanced attack systems in future updates, with different animations for each weapon type and perhaps some new weapon sub-types
Unlocked Movement For Attacks Move freely during power attacks, sneak attacks, dual-wielding attacks, attacks while casting spells, and block bashes
Power attacks are selected based on your movement direction at the start of the attack
If you continue to move in the same direction, the animation plays on the whole body
If you move in another direction, it will continue on the upper body and the legs will move in that new direction
In first person, the animations are unaffected and you can move around without any changes to the animation
Other Features- Added a second swing for left hand weapons, to match the right hand behavior
- Attack speed is boosted by 30% (non-stacking) while standing still -- adjustable in the MCM
- Attacks have a 50% chance to glance off a block instead of bouncing back, letting you attack again
- First person camera noise adds movement to first person view -- adjustable in the MCM
- Fixes the sneak movement bug, drawing or sheathing weapons doesn't make you move faster
- Removed the strafe animations from the movement behaviors (runstraferight, runstrafeleft) due to redundancy
- Adds a blocking hotkey for dual-wielding, magic in left hand, and unarmed
- A 360° combat mode is included for basic attacks with vanilla races, it will be finished in future updates
Compatibility 360 Combat requires changes to the vanilla races inside the esp. If you want to use this feature, you may need to create a patch with TES5Edit to fix a conflict with another esp file
Mods that contain behavior files (found in data\meshes\actors\character\behaviors\ or data\meshes\actors\character\_1stperson\behaviors\) will conflict with CGO
If certain features are not working correctly, it's most likely a conflict between CGO and another behavior modNemesis is a tool that allows you to use multiple behavior mods together, there's a patch included with CGO and instructions below
Modded staffs will not have sounds or hit particles, you can manually create a patch or use the zedit script (credit to cuyima) provided here
