SexLab Animation Loader 1.5  

This mod makes it easy to register new animations in SexLab.

Several animators on LoversLab have been creating lots of new animation files, but don't have the modding experience necessary to create mods that load them in Skyrim. This mod aims to help solve that problem. Now you can create simple animation packs without needing any modding experience, and then you can use this mod to load them in Skyrim.

Dependencies For Users

If you just want to load an animation pack that someone else has already built, this is all you need:

• SexLab 1.60+
• JContainers
• FNIS

Dependencies for Animators

If you want to build your own animation packs, you will also need:

• Python 3.x

Installation

Just install this normally like you would install any other mod. This mod doesn't come with any animations though, so you will likely want to also install some animation packs as well.

Installing animation packs:

Install animation packs just like you would any other mod. (They need to be unpacked and put into your Skyrim data directory.)

Usage

After installing the mod, open the MCM menu, select the animations you want to register, then click "Register"

Uninstallation

Rebuild the SexLab animation registry after uninstalling this mod to remove any animations it added.

Upgrade Procedure

No clean save or special upgrade steps needed. You will generally want to rebuild the SexLab animation registry after upgrading animation packs, to make sure you pick up the new pack data.

Creating animation packs

Rydin has written up an excellent guide describing how to create animation packs.

The mod itself contains a readme and an example animation pack source file.
Normally you'll want to edit your animation pack source file, then run SLAnimGenerate.py to generate the FNIS lists and the JSON data read by this mod.
You will need to run GenerateFNISforModders.exe if the FNIS lists change.
An example animation pack can be found here.
Additional documentation can be found in the README or in the example source file.

TODO

I'd like to make SLAnimGenerate automatically update the FNIS behavior files, so you don't need to manually run GenerateFNISforModders.exe.

Bugs

Probably several. Feel free to let me know if you run into anything unusual.
