Das Boot/Melee request

Post by **Silver Saucer** » Sat Jul 29, 2017 7:40 am

Hi I was wondering if someone could create what I would assume to be a small mod that lets you kick like Duke Nuke em or Brutal Doom, also similar to the melee in Fallout 4 I suppose.

IDC if it does damage or not but it would be nice if it moved the enemy(or follower for that matter) back a bit to help when you're surrounded or stuck in a corner.

I always thought that would be great, Fallout 4 almost nailed it but I was looking something more in the way of a quick kick to push NPCs off you.

Edit: thinking about it some more it would probably add some fun to melee combat as well, like boot then full power attack.

Last time I heard about something like this it was that it is not possible to make first person kick animations. Remember, the character does not have a body in first person.

So this is impossible.

1st person body:

Oblivion: http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/44337/?

FO3: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/20183/?

FONV: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55334/?

Skyrim: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/57859/?

All by the same person, all work perfectly! I've used this in all these games for years now without a hitch. It's by far the best 1st person body mod out. You'd clearly need to make the FONV version a requirement for any kicking mod for TTW.

I'm afraid you can't do kicking anims in first person at all, the body and legs are not rendered and can not be animated in first person, also the arms are just an overlay really.

And before anyone suggests it, No enhanced camera won't help, in fact it makes it worse, I'm an animator and i tired to make a first person kick anim long ago, the anim was easy to make but simply can't work in game.

Sorry guys, i tried.

Edit: if anyone is interested, this is what happens when you try to use enhanced camera for custom first person anims:

It doesn't support them at all, witch has been a constant kick in the nuts while working mods.

Hmm - how old was that post? Maybe it's gotten better. Never hurts to try! I'm gonna try enhanced camera with this mod and see what happens...

This has a non-lethal takedown move, I don't remember if it's a kick

Two years.

Be careful, those mods are animation mods for Fallout 3. IIRC FNV has different bones for characters, it might conflict and get your game crashing.

That mod does look pretty nice. I have the feeling it doesn't have a kick though.

Dang thank you for the responses, this is an interesting read. I always wished Besthesda would include the entire character model while in first person.

Thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to back things up first. I have the feeling it won't work, but no reason not to try. Hmm - I think I'll try it in FO3 first so that bones aren't an issue. IF it actually works, then I'll see about trying FONV.
