Creating moveset based on Messmer

[round cedar]

I also downloaded his animations

[feral crown]

simply replace the animations in the a0-9x.anibnd that you unpack with Witchy

There's a tutorial on soulsmodding wiki on how to use retargetted animations

[round cedar]

okay ty i'll try that

[vagrant zenith]

Clever added a lot of his animations and whatnot when equipping his spear. If that is what you are looking to make, could just download that.
edit:
Guh, not Clever - I linked the wrong one https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/5686

Yea I tried it, it was really good but I wanted to tweak it to make it more smooth and recolor sfx to make it blackflame instead. Also remove some attacks to make it less overwhelming. I don’t think anyone will do that so I’ll do it myself

How do you only custom one weapon moveset

?

or maybe how does one weapon knows what animations to use ?

[feral crown]

each weapon has it's own tae and can have a special tae
for example, the claymore is bound to a025.tae because it's a greatsword and all greatswords are a025.tae => Weapon Motion Category = 25
But it has also special attacks (heavy attacks) and they are in a125.tae (a025 and a125 having just a +- 100 difference is just a coincidence), that's the Special Motion Category = 125

The motion categories are all fields in EquipParamWeapon

So in resume you need to create a new tae and give it to the Special Motion category of your weapon

Ohh i see, so the great spears category is 37, in my case I want to edit messmer's spear, so for the animations that I want to change, I need to create a new tae, and for the remaining animations I can just select which one I want in a027 ?

[feral crown]

i guess you can say it like that

[round cedar]

alr

and what do you use to edit regulation bins ? i used to mess around with yapped but that doesn't seem to work anymore, even simple things such as allowing seals to use sorceries

I tried smithbox but ig it requires a chr file to begin with

and the game regulation bin is empty so I always need to download an existing mod and use its reg bin

[feral crown]

uh you need to unpack your game using the UXM

that's the basics

and yeah create a project with Smithbox in your mod folder and start doing some shit

[round cedar]

yea I already unpacked it

so I just use the c0000.anibnd.dcx file ?

[feral crown]

yeah

[round cedar]

I messed around a bit and I've added a trail on a milady, which worked, but the ash of war doesn't have that trail (wing stance), do I have to add it with DSAS or smithbox can do it too ? can't find any trace id on ashes of war so ig it's only with DSAS

[feral crown]

yeah it's dsas

in dsas you can set specific trails, that's why the dsas trail overwrites the default trail you modified

[round cedar]

Alright ty!

I know this is months later but since I’m doing something similar (tweaking a mod) would I unpack the game directly from steam or unpac the mod in the case convergence mod?

[feral crown]

Unpacking a mod isn't a thing

UXM unpacks the game so you can use the game files for modding

[fringe plaza]

Okay so it would be from the game file from steam, since I want to expand on clever dancing Maria’s sword move I get the tae file a130 to work with?

[feral crown]

I don't really know what you want to do, modify its files if you want yeah
