Poll: Alternate Combat Animations v4.0 (poll closed)

Kefrem posted a suggestion of adding the Alternate Combat Animations v4.0 (found here), an update to the optional v3.0 that you can currently use in your override.

I've checked these out, even testing each of them in a mini-module, and the results are very nice.

I'm considering adding these to Aenea, but I'm looking for feedback before I do, since adding these means another hak file everyone would be required to download to keep playing.

So, please vote and if you have comments, feel free to post them. I'll leave the poll running for a week.

I never turn down some good custom content, it doesn't matter how many hakpaks it takes! I currently use the override of the Alternate Combat Animations V.4 - assassin style, so everyone looks like ... well, an assassin! But if you can apply the anims in v4 to just yourself ... well, that's even more reason to say yay!

*wait, did I vote maybe? I meant to vote yes! call me a yes!*

Could you perhaps ask permission to include their haks in your download?

I don't quite understand what you mean by this.

Ask permission of ragnarok_mr4 before using this? By putting it up for module builders to download, he's giving permission for it to be used.

Ask each player? I'm going to eventually add this to the Aenea haks, which would make it a required download for every player.

What I mean is, rather than requiring Aenea players to download this separately, add the haks for them into the Aenea playerpack.

Yeah that post stumped me a bit too... ... For all the things in the Aenea Haks that haven't been written/created direct by himself, has a "Custom Content Credits" page found on the website at the bottom of the downloads page ( Found here )
For everything else that page links to the creators own NWN Vault page as "suggested" downloads (such as ragnarok_mr4 's current override of ACP v3).. putting things on the vault gives the permission for those things to be used by players/builders in modules (including PW's).. ..

.. I'm sure will give credit where credit is due.. and the CCC page also lists the original inspirations for many things that have since been warped/ twisted and re-wrote by himself and are really no longer distinguishable as the original work (such as the ioun stone management)...

... however I'm sure that if you have found something within the Aenea haks / aenea that you recognise from elsewhere and credit is not listed in that list.. thats likely because has truely forgotten where the source was.. we all have memory lapses sometimes.. ..and an em@il / pm to will likely rectify this when he gets round to updating the website (he has a life too)..

.. My regrets if this post sounds to "full-on" or threatening / abusive.. (it doesn't to me normally- but I like to read things through from different perspectives and it could be viewed as such).. it was not my intention...

(Edit :: Yes I now see what you mean but I think asking us to download this seperately is no big deal really... we already need to download the CEP and CCP.. my post above really does rant a bit doesn't it? - sorry)

I'm adding this right now to the aeneahak_updates.hak file (along with stuff for the Player Item Enchantment System). It will be added to the game at the same time.

Edited: I just noticed the name of my enchantment system can be reduced to the name of a dessert...PIES! Woohoo! (insert sound of Homer Simpson drooling here).

hmmm.... beer... er, um.... hmmmm, pie

mmmmm...... floor pie.....
