True Crouching

[h1] Waiting on the release of AnimZed tool.[/h1] Well, B42 is now stable, took a look at the mod again, couldn't wrap my head around it. It's just too convoluted, there is a lot interconnected stuff, maybe I got old. I'll take a look again when the devs release the in-house animation tool called AnimZed. [hr][/hr] While sneaking, crouching animations will be played instead of sneaking animations. In other words, replaces sneaking animations with crouching animations.

Includes crouched idle, walking, running, turning and SHOOTING. [hr][/hr] This mod will very slightly reduce your movement speed while sneaking. This is vanilla behavior. [hr][/hr] Has a sub mod named "True Crouching - Shooting Only". This will enable only the crouched shooting animations. It won't change sneaking animations. Enable only ONE of the mods. [hr][/hr]

Why this mod?

I don't like the way the character looks while sneaking. I always wanted the sneak key to function as a crouch key so I could roleplay(?). For example, now I can stand on the edge of a roof, crouch, and plan my next move in a realistic looking way.

How does it work?

Does not add/replace actual animation files, mostly. I added animations only for crouched shooting. There are two base sneaking stances in the game: Sneak and LowSneak. LowSneak is the crouching animation we all know from every other game. Normally, this animation is played only when the character is sneaking next to a wall. I just changed a few lines in some files so that the game plays animations of LowSneak instead of Sneak whether the character is next to a wall or not.

To do

(maybe...)

• Prevent crouching while fractured(and/or burnt?)
• (the game allows LowSneak while fractured/burnt in vanilla)
• Add buff to hit chance when crouched
• Swapping weapons while crouched and aiming a weapon shouldn't transitions to standing
• Block aim ready stance while crouch aiming with melee if there are no zombies in range so the char doesn't stand up

Notes

• Conflicts with:
• [list]
• Arsenal GunFighter (Compatibility addon here)
• Real Full Auto (Weapons will use their default fire rate while shooting crouched)
• Katana Stance (Character will not crouch when idle while holding a katana)
• Braven's Nail Guns (Nailguns' fire rate will be reduced while shooting crouched)

[*]Safe to add/remove mid-save. [*]Works in multiplayer. [*]Feedback/Suggestions are welcome. [/list]

[hr][/hr]                                                  My third mod. Learned a little PZ animation. It took a few hours to figure out how to do it. Then I implemented crouched shooting which really wore me out :/                                                         [hr][/hr] Workshop ID: 2966176354 Mod ID: TrueCrouching Mod ID: TrueCrouchingSO
