Hi.

You have to use Codewalker to do this properly. Using a combination of Codewalker's ambient audiozone map and Codewalker's .rel editing capabilities, you can either add or remove individual sounds. And you need to do that, since many zones use several layered individual sounds.

To get started go here, go here and download the latest Codewalker version :

You will obviously have to learn how to do this gradually, so experimenting will be a part of your process, but you can always ask for help in #fix-my-mod. Or you can hit me up on Discord : Modifiver#1744

I might take a while to get back you, but eventually I will, heh.

I hope this will help you a bit.

Good luck.

Hi.

So what you will want to look at is scenarios.meta.

In that file you will see that each overall WORD_HUMAN_XXX_XXX(and other types) has a ConditionalanimsGroup(CAG, from now). Inside of each CAG you will discover several entries, often divided into both male and female variations (A,B,C etc) of the same scenario type(CScenarioplayanimsinfo).

All of these entries are conditional, and the conditions(CScenarioCondition) can be anything from a "time of day" requirement to weather types, to the ped having a specific Bravery flag, and much much more.

This was just a very brief overview of the how the animation metadata of scenarios are structured, but I hope it at least answered a couple of questions for you.

Have a nice day 🙂

Hi. You can easily find me in the Modifiver channels in the NVE server 🙂

@Tekarovt

I assume you were addressing me.

You can find me on Discord (5mods, NVE, Codewalker and many other servers).

Look for Modifiver#1744

Have a nice day 🙂

Scenario Editor? You mean CodeWalker?

If not, could you please post a link to the mod?

Slick is right. You can indeed .xml edit every single animation in the game, as well as create new ones(.ycds), BUT it is a VERY time consuming and complicated endeavour.

@Jayden585

Hi. A possible conflict could be the <PropsName> defined in peds.ymt no longer corresponding with the new edited data in the ped's own .ymt.

@MetaGTA

Hi.

I am one of the few idiots, hehe, who have actually invested a not insignificant portion of time, into manipulating single clips via CodeWalker's .ycd export options.

This has given me an opportunity to edit the default rootbone position offsets of different seated animations, to add custom ptfx and audio to anims, and to copy one or several .clip entries from .ycd A to ycd B, helping me create my own custom .ycds.

However...as slick so succinctly put it, that is really all there is to it, at least at this point.

Yes, a new script could change that, but unfortunately, nobody with the required set of skills is currently working on such a script.

For what it is worth though, most of the flags, or rather Tags and Properties, with attributes, do not seem to directly control the animations themselves, but rather, as you said yourself, various types of "events".

I have resolved quite a few of .ycd hashes, and concluded that everything(probably) is in lowercase, and that all the aforementioned events mostly are related to inverse kinematics,prop creation, audio and ptfx.

So if, and that's a big if, such a script would become available, we would already be well on our way towards a more comprehensive level of animation modding.

Have a nice day.

It's as simple as it can possibly be. You just search for the fragment you need in the RPF explorer. Then you choose Export XML, edit what you want to edit, and then you choose Import XML.

The RPF explorer inside of CodeWalker is LIGHTNING fast, and among many other advantages, it gives you the option of instantly sorting your search results. CodeWalker also has binary search and World search options and much much more.

I hope you are going to have just the amount of fun you are hoping for.

lol
