Add and/or alter items' animation, using FDDA models with custom textures to match the beautiful Maid's HD Icons. Also with optional patches.
This mod aims to tweak and add animation to match the items' visual of Maids Vanilla HD Icons. Only some items are left with no animation. Fit well with the EFP mod pack (nearly everything this mod needs is provided), for common users, there are some requirements to make this mod work.
ALERT
24-10-2022: Partially remade. Again, only for EFP4.0 users first. non-EFP users unfortunately have to wait. The changelog on the Moddb will be updated shortly after.
2.01 Fixed a crash.
DESCRIPTION
The animations/textures choice is 100% based on Maids' icons, ranging from only re-colored, to full fledge custom-made textures. Comes in 2 styles, EFT-oriented and Stalker-focused. Also included 2 patches.
REQUIREMENTS
Compatible with EFP from the get-go. Other users have to wait.
HARD REQUIREMENT LIST (also acts as a guideline for mods order):
- FDDA, preferably the latest version of the equivalent game version.
- EFTMO, EFP seems to have a custom version of this, but I don't think there will be any issues. Without this mod, the "changes" seem to be nonsense, so it is highly recommended and is a semi-compulsory mod.
- Fillable Canteens
- Food Poisoning
- Asnen & Grok Better Cigarettes Animation
SOFT REQUIREMENT LIST (for the immersion, and the patches):
INSTALLATION
This mod comes with a FOMOD installer, so preferably please install using MO2.
IMPORTANT: Please ensure the file anims_list.ltx is from FDDA and not from Asnen&Grok if you are using the DLTX options!!! Use MO2 to "hide" or straight-up delete other files, preferably the former method.
DETAILED CHANGES
Touched leftover items with no animation and tweaked some of the existing ones.
TL, DR: only Chocolates, raw mutants meat, Cocaine, and Speed don't have animation. Others resemble Maid's HD icons.
- Will be added gradually when I upload preview images.
- Retextures: Blind Dog - Boar - Flesh Decoction.
- Animation only: WIP.
PATCHES
Alternate animations set stays true to the Stalker theme:
- Survival kit uses (Pink) Bandage animation + Painkillers.
- Salewa uses Scientific Medkit (yellow).
DLTX Patch for tweaking smoking items (and Altoids-Mints) makes cigarettes/smoke items more approachable:
- Adjust max use of cigarettes in a pack.
- Increase spawning rates and lower the prices.
DLTX Patch for Water Flask Rework makes Metal bottle adopt the fancier Flask animation fromWater Flask Reworkand tweak the appearance of Stolichnaya vodka flask:
- Metal bottle now uses the fancier Flask bottle from Water Flask Rework.
- Retexture the Stolichnaya vodka flask.
CHANGELOG
1.0: First release.
1.01: Fix an error I made when submitted the files. This should solve the [decoction_dog] duplicate error. Also cleaned up some texts in the FOMOD installer.
1.02: Add a patch for non Asnen&Grok better cigarettes users. Updated the requirements section.
1.03: Remove the patch from 1.02.
2.0: Partially remade. Added 7 items.
2.01: Fixed a crash related to Stimpack.

NOTE:
First thing first, we are EFP users, so the mod was created heavily biased towards the mod pack. Later on, we decided to support common users, therefore other patches have been and will be created.
Secondly, we (the authors) are still amateurs, so errors and faults are expected. Please kindly report those and we will try our best to give support.
Thirdly, we tend to play in low-mid settings. So if there are problems related to visuals, and you play in high-best setting, unfortunately, we won't be able to support all of those problems.
Finally, you can report the issues here, or contact me via discord @NotSoTalented#9949
Thank you!
Looks nice, gonna test right now.
nice mod!
REALLY good thx dude
Nice one, keep on adding stuff!
The initiative is great, too many animations are missing and too many animations don't match with their icons.
For example, we finally need a real animation for the joint, a simple conical joint rolled out of the pocket, without the rolling of course. Same for rolled tobacco, just smaller.
Cigars: straight out of the pocket would be enough
but in box/package of cigars one could think of personal boxes which in the old way have the shape a bit like medikit, a square metal box.
Here the animation of the Cuban cigars is not bad in itself, colors of cigars and package, but they are cigarillos and not cigars ;) we could change the icon of the cigar by that of a package of cigarillos but let us keep in mind that the appearance of a package in the animation of the cigar or the joint also fotn to think to the player that he could have several in it as for the packages of cigarettes, and we seldom make a package of joints in advance what in the zone .... or while playing there :)

Yes, I do understand your points, and I (or we) love to be able to implement those ideas.
However, my university work has currently halted the mod's development for around 2 months. Maybe next year (January) I can come back to modding.
Lastly, we (the author) have limited skills to retexture and manipulate animation/model usage via scripts or INIT files. Unfortunately, the custom models and animation stuff are out of our reach (at least for now).
Also, thank you very much for your opinion!
;)
Courage for your study !
Can I have a video?
Do I need BHS for this EFTMO???
Is there any way to play with these textures without BHS? I really want a more vanilla experience in my modpack.
This mod is a great idea, i hope that everything is alright and you can update it
