[NEED HELP] With replacing vanilla mobs animations

[Musfic]

I'm trying to replace beefalo animations without changing textures.

I've made an animation using spriter but don't know how to put it in game.

[NPCMaxwell]

If you want the beefalo to use your animations you need to find the beefalo‘s SG (in case you have riding animations also Wilson mounted SG) and replace the standard animations name with yours. (Please ask someone else about SG-editing without making a entirely new SG file)

Also you need to compile the new animations and add them to your modmain „shoppinglist“ for the game to find them. (I can‘t explain more exactly right now since I would need my computer to give a written example)

May I ask you something about the animations? How did you manage to make them run smoothely? Because my own attempts of adjusting / changing animations in spriter (for tall maxwell) all end up „trembling“  in spriter and in-game. Is there a method to ensure the body parts don‘t do the jittering?

Yeah i've found SGBeefalo file and found part with animations i want to change. Problem is i don't know how to tell the game to use mine animations instead.

I'm trying to do something with animations for the first time. Actually just slightly changing existing ones very carefully. Not sure how to do more without spending huge amount of time and breaking everything. i'm sorry i can't help you.

是的，我找到了SGBeefalo文件，里面有我想要修改的动画部分。问题是我不知道如何让游戏使用我的动画。

我第一次尝试用动画做东西。实际上只是非常小心地对现有的动画进行一些重点的修改。我不知道如何在不花费大量时间和不破坏现有动画的情况下做得更好。很遗憾我帮不了你。

I think you can refer to the mod that changes the texture of the legs of the tall bird

如果你想让牛头犄角牛使用你的动画，你需要找到牛头犄角牛的SG（如果你有骑马动画，也有威尔逊骑乘的SG），并将标准动画名称替换为你自己的。（请咨询其他人关于SG编辑的问题，无需制作全新的SG文件）

你还需要编译新的动画，并将它们添加到你的模组主“购物清单”中，以便游戏能够找到它们。（我现在无法更详细地解释，因为我需要我的电脑提供书面示例）

我可以问一下关于动画的问题吗？你是怎么做到让它们流畅运行的？因为我自己尝试在精灵图（针对高大的麦克斯韦尔）中调整/更改动画，结果在精灵图和游戏中都“颤抖”了。有什么方法可以确保身体部位不抖动吗？

I ended up changing exact animation using
inst.AnimState:IsCurrentAnimation
and
inst.AnimState:SetBank("bank_with_my_animation.zip")

thanks for replies

I am happy you found the solution that worked for you!!! I‘m sorry I wasn‘t able to give a direct reply earlier, but I was scared of maybe accidently giving you something wrong that could have ended up with a lua error or dedicated server error.

I will test if the website’s tool can help with one of the jittering animations as soon as I have time to get back to working on them! Thanks for the suggestion
