help Peruse animation face sprite missing for character mod

[poolcool2]

I am working on a custom character mod and I thought it would be fun to give the character a idle animation, I figured that the peruse animation that Wurt uses when reading books would be a great fit, but sadly it turns out Wurt uses a custom face for that so any other characters that do it dont have a face sprite for it (With exceptions). I don't have any clue what the name of the face sprite needs to be, I tried a few obvious options like incrementing the face sprite number or trying something like face_peruse-0 but none of that worked. I have been talking with a friend who also was working on a character mod and simultaneously had the same idea of using the peruse animation as the character's idle animation and he could not figure it out either.

I realized something interesting about the peruse animation during my testing though, even though most character's dont have any face sprite for the peruse animation, a few of them do, be it a unfitting face sprite but it does mean that those characters must have a face sprite under the same name.

Characters that have a face sprite for the animation:

Warly

Wormwood

And Wurt of course. Every other character has just the head base.

 

If anybody knows of what the face sprite is called or could direct me to a mod character that has a face sprite for this animation it would be much appreciated. Me and my friend would really love to get this working in our mods and thanks for at least reading about our problem.

I ended up realizing that I could just make my own animation, only took me 15 min. to realize I don't know how to make an animation. If somebody could tell me how to make a custom animation that would be nice too.
