better animations and anim tools

[paper citrus]

this is my fourth time writing this post because discord hates me

It would be greatly appreciated if we had better tools and support for custom animations. The existing support is present but notoriously difficult to use or work with. I.E., guns enhanced has almost a hundred lines of XML and some hacky tricks just to give the assault rifle reload animations.

I would love to see some custom fullbody anims outside of specific objects like chairs and beds or movement. It would also be amazing to have a tool to make item animations rather than doing them manually.
the particle editor is already fairly similar to this, but that's for... particles.
I'd be okay with complex animation data being mostly unreadable in XML as long as there was a dedicated tool to using it.

Which way Europan man, sex mod or fortnite emote mod

me when I want to give my guns reload animations but there are over a hundred weapons

[slate coral]

Me cutting down my weapons so I can leave the door open for doing that

Only thing is those would require a new animation function

As none of the weapon reloading is using the actual animation framework

Wouldn't complain about having it though

But its making use of multiple functions including brokensprite

animation editor when...

I could cope with it

I am deep in the sunk cost fallacy.

a mere 120,000 lines of xml

Could go the cheap route
