Currently Outdated - Virakotxa's Moves 1

As of last patch, 4/30/2015, this compilation and all individual animations up to this moment got invalidated by an upgrade on the rig system. As of now doesn't seem possible to recreate this work due to some bugs on the exporting side of things... Likely soon to be fixed.

Thanks to the 30.000-something subscribers who used, checked out, or dispised it while it lasted!

Without patronage I might not be able to redo this, but this is what it was:

Community suggestion. Thanks to infAl, without him I would not have been able to pack this thing, thanks to my $&%%* grammar and my even more $$&%$@ syntax...

Thanks to Keen's awesome partnership offer, if you want to help an unemployed in his modding efforts, and some friend of yours doesn't have Space Engineers yet, let them get it through this link: http://shop.keenswh.com/?aid=Virakotxa

Gestures will show up in your G menu; at the horizontal scroll where the tools and vanilla gestures are. Move the gesture icon to your toolbar like you would do with any block and activate/loop it, by pressing the assigned numeric shortcut.

The ones labeled with a "Pose" word in their icon, are what I choose to call "pose animation": As long as you don't walk (in the ground), your character will stay in it. Also, it can be combined with other gesture animations, and direct mouse manipulation to achieve complex expressions. If you have your jetpack enabled they allow you to fly in that pose, and you can also shoot your weapon and use tools while at (when the position of the right hand allows it). Spinning your view too fast, jumping and crouching will also take you out of the pose. They generally wouldn't work when sitting in a cockpit.

All the others are your typical gestures: They loop from default pose, to the action, and back to default. They can be combined with poses, they allow all kind of movement without interrupting the animation, but the gesture will only go on for the given time of the expresion before going back to default on their own.

Will keep this file updated with any future Gesture add-ons untill somebody tells me it takes too long to download or something like that, and then we'll move on to an hypothetical Moves 2.

The order in which they are listed at the "G menu" is by creation time. For a custom order or pick and choose, I'd sugest using the individual files and moving them up and down your load order. Last will show first.

Provide any positive or negative appreciations, feedback and suggestions. Within my taste and capabilities, I'm open to requests.
