I am currently working on adding a new weapon with its own animations into Bloodborne and ran into a snag with registering the new animations.
In the c0000.animbnd file, I am able to decompile/recompile all the hkx files needed EXCEPT for the one in the behaviors folder.
For some reason, even recompiling a clean version with no edits crashes the game, and I can't seem to find any tool that can successfully recompile this file without error.
Would anyone happen to know how to fix this?
glass prawn
I'm recycling existing animations, yes
I should specify that I am using hkxpacksouls (alpha 2) to recompile that specific hkx from an xml

??
why if you use the same animation from the game, then you just have to rename it
glass prawn
You'd think so, however the game only goes up so far with its animation tae files. Anything beyond 158 defaults to a scuffed hunter axe moveset and a very basic transform anim
south hamlet
Also c0000.chrbnd.dcx is not what you use to register animation btw. There is no registering animation on bloodborne
glass prawn
So am I out of luck for adding new weapon animations and telling the game to use said animations or am I in the wrong file?
south hamlet
You are confusing yourself lol you are trying to use your elden ring knowledge or dark souls, when they are all different
glass prawn
I was using a ds3 guide from wikidot I think
south hamlet
That's the problem
glass prawn
Damn
south hamlet
I used a112 and duplicated it in dsanim to a157 and made a standalone weapon
glass prawn
But there's no going beyond that is there?
south hamlet
Haven't tested
glass prawn
I used a112 and duplicated it in dsanim to a157 and made a standalone weapon
that's my current solution

This is what I found when trying to use higher numbers over 158
south hamlet
are you sure you are doing it right? You are changing the special category and the category on bloodborne bin?

can you elaborate on this?
south hamlet
This is what I did
glass prawn
I'm guessing this isn't the gameparams that I'm looking at?
if so then I KNEW I was missing something
glass prawn
Not Bloodborne specifically, but I spent the past three weeks modding the game in various ways. Adding a new weapon with its own moveset is next on my list.
Ultimately I want to add a few weapons from other souls games that the player can unlock from a hunter badge (the placement of which I have not decided)
south hamlet
Yea there is no documention on bloodborne right now. While they are similar in some ways, they are very different at the same time
with only 3 weeks you'll get lost and also adding weapons from other games is not possible unless you retarget the animations
it's not just passing them through hkxpacksoul
that's why you are prob crashin
glass prawn
with only 3 weeks you'll get lost and also adding weapons from other games is no...
That's where I'm currently at. I'm nearly done with the basic moveset, but I had to sacrifice the Kos Rune Transformation animation (but I don't think anyone really uses that weapon so no one will miss it lol)

Yeah, figuring out adding new weapon models was a pain lol
I did get a shield added that I'm happy with
But there's no animation shenanigans needed there so this issue didn't come up
south hamlet
You can get models in
south hamlet
But there's no animation shenanigans needed there so this issue didn't come up
ok then why you using hkxpacksoul?
glass prawn
Because I was following the DS3 moveset guide and attempted to add in entries for the new animations to avoid overwriting existing animations.
using hkxpacksouls was the only way I could get into that hkx to edit it, but it's the only one that won't recompile
and this is for the current mod I'm making, not the shield mod I already did
Apologies for not clarifying
south hamlet
Ye idk what you where editing, but you dont have to register. If you see they will tell you to register them on the c0000.behbnd.dcx and like I said bloodborne doesn't have that it has c0000.chrbnd.dcx
glass prawn
but the behavior hkx has all the same information and syntax I saw on the guide, hence my confusion
Thought I'd be able to just insert it in, but I guess BB is a bit touchy (image is an example of what I was looking to edit, not my actual edits)
south hamlet
yeah you dont have to
at least from my knowledge
I'm testing retargeting to bloodborne and I just copied a tae in dsanim and linked the tae number like I showed you on smithbox
warning for bright lights
glass prawn
If there was a way to point the weapon motion category towards a number higher than 158 then I would be a happy camper. From my research and testing, custom weapons are limited to two slots only without overwriting existing weapon movesets. (157 for the beast claw and 158 for the kos rune).
Transformation animations, tied to the tae containers, have no unused slots (from what I could find so far), so any custom transformation animations would need to overwrite an already in use transform anim.
Seems like there's no way around affecting another weapon for BB at the moment. Not even the action hks script can point higher tae indicies to a specific animation.
Unless there's something I missed in one of the other files or parameters...
On that note, the "default" weapon animations are bizarre, but that's not something for this thread.
Anyways, thanks for the help. The bad news sucks, but at least I have SOME wiggle room with new weapons. It is a shame I'm limited, but then again I'm not out here making an overhaul mod, lol.
glass prawn
Well did you change the weapon params for 158
Yep, that's where I started at before reaching too high and going down this rabbit hole lol
glass prawn
Fun fact: the game's "default" weapon motion has the blades of mercy L2 for some reason (but that could be from my meddling with the hks script)
glass prawn
I’ll try it out adding a 159
let me know if you figure anything out
Is there anywhere I can submit findings like this? It's not all that helpful but it is interesting
south hamlet
Nope unless you are very sure and know how to write tutorials
If not then you might just confuse a lot of people
glass prawn
Here's the "default" weapon moveset that I get when going above 158 (using 159 here)
south hamlet
And what tae did you duplicated?
glass prawn
The TAE here doesn't matter, since the game doesn't reference it at all
south hamlet
Yes it does
glass prawn
The transformation defaults to the Kos Rune transform
south hamlet
You still need to duplicate a tae to 159
Duplicating a tae in Dsanim is the same as going into c0000.anibnd and duplicating
Or how can you get a 159
glass prawn
south hamlet
Yup
glass prawn
Or how can you get a 159
The game defaults, like I said
159, 160, 255, all the same result
south hamlet
Game default doesn’t have 159
glass prawn
It's default is the moveset in the video I posted. It's the game's panic button for an unrecognized weapon motion (from my findings)
in other words, it's ignoring 159 completely
glass prawn
I duplicated 142, but even when I duplicated other containers the same results happened
Well, partly duplicated 142
the strong attacks are supposed to be the ludwig two handed mode, but don't show up on 159
south hamlet
And you are using overwrite for that?
To have Ludwig?
You can see it on Dsanim play the animation you want?
glass prawn
Yep. All the moves are hooked up to properly show up in-game if I use 158
glass prawn
Oh, 159 and 158 are both using the same animations, with only the names differing.
by all logic it SHOULD be showing this moveset when being pointed towards 159 in the params:
but again, the game flat out ignores 159
south hamlet
pass me your c0000.anibnd.dcx
glass prawn
alright, but promise not to judge me too harshly for the hack job:
On this subject: is there documentation of the FFX IDs?
I really don't wanna have to go through every number to find a flame effect
And here is my hks script if that helps
south hamlet
give me a sec. I have to reinstall it. a mod broke my game for some reason
