Scene Weaver

⚠ THIS MOD IS IN TESTING ⚠

This is a test build. Things may not work as intended yet, and slot behaviour, timings and the UI will still change between versions.

If you run into something broken, please say so in the comments — what you were doing, which animation and which NPC, and whether it was single player or a server.

Scene Weaver

Every animation in the game, on any NPC you like, held for as long as you want.

Place a ring on the ground, put someone on it, and pick a pose from the full list — gathered live from whatever is installed, including animations added by other mods. Nobody stands to attention any more. Your tavern has drinkers, your temple has worshippers, your workshop has someone leaning on the bench.

You stage it. They hold it.

Getting started

• The feat is already yours. No cost, no level, nothing to unlock.
• Craft the Scene Anchor — it is a decoration, made in your own hands, for
• the price of a stool.
• Place it with the building hammer and hold E on it.

That is the whole setup. The ring has two slots, so one anchor stages a scene for two.

The radial menu

Holding E on the ring gives you three commands:

• Scene setup — opens the window where everything is chosen
• Seat nearest thrall — grabs whoever is closest, without opening anything
• Resync animations — restarts every pose on the ring from frame one, so two
• performers move together

The window

Animations

The list is built at runtime from everything installed, so animations from other mods appear on it without this mod knowing they exist. There is a search box and paging, because the full list is long.

Pick a slot, click a pose, and the NPC in that slot holds it.

Speed

Every slot has its own play rate. Slow a pose down to a crawl or run it fast — a sharpening motion at 0.25 reads completely differently from the same clip at 1.

Position

Slots can be moved. Slot pos X / Y / Z nudges a performer off the ring's centre — face to face, back to back, one standing over the other. Reset slot puts it back where it started.

Hide ring

Hides the anchor itself while leaving the scene standing. The ring stops being visible; holding E on it still works, so you can come back and change anything.

Nearby NPCs

Lists whoever is standing around, nearest first, with the distance to each. Click a name and they take the slot. No chasing anyone with the seat command.

Hide UI

Folds the list away and makes the window see-through, so you can watch what you are adjusting instead of the panel covering it.

Pairs

A switch on the ring. Turn Pairs on and the poses stop being chosen per slot and start being chosen by who is sitting there.

Eight targets, and the ring picks the right one on its own:

• one woman, alone
• one man, alone
• two women — a pose each
• two men — a pose each
• a woman and a man — a pose each, wherever they happen to be sitting

So a couple embracing stays a couple embracing when you swap who is in the seat, and two men get something that is not the same clip mirrored.

Any of the two-person combinations can be marked Forbidden, and the ring simply refuses the second performer. A scene meant for a man and a woman will not quietly accept two men.

Turning Pairs back off restores whatever you had chosen by hand. The two are kept apart on purpose — configuring one does not destroy the other.

[hr][/hr]

Presets

A preset saves the whole scene: both animations, both play rates, the slot offsets, the entire pair table and whether Pairs was on. Load it and the ring is set up exactly as it was, including switching itself back into the mode you saved it in.

Presets live on your machine, not in the world. They follow you — build a scene on your own server, then set the same one up on someone else's in a few clicks. Each row in the list has its own delete button.
