GROUNDED 2: Combat Animations

Description
Description------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adds +28 hand-crafted attack animations to Kenshi.

A continuation of my previous mod, I have created some more GROUNDED animated attacks to Kenshi! I hope this will add some more immersion to your current play through as it has mine.

I have tried to create and balance the animations according to their in-game descriptions or what their most practical implementation would be.

Ex. Sabres are defensive blades but also have good slashing damage so most attacks try to minimize the amount of time you are exposed while mainly being slashes.

Ex. Heavy weapons being so huge makes them excellent at controlling crowds.

This mod also additionally adds + 4 stumble animations just to add some variety in battles.
New block animations have been added to weapons that needed them.

Additions------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Animations are progressively unlocked from skill levels 0-40.

Katana: + 3 animations

Sabres: + 5 animations

Hackers: + 4 animations

Polearms: + 4 animations

Blunt: + 4 animations

Heavy Weapons: + 4 animations

Martial Arts: + 4 animations

Stumbles: + 4 animations (2 front low dmg, 1 front high dmg, 1 back low damage)
* Stumble time is roughly the same as vanilla, even the high damage one.
* High dmg stumble name is "GROUNDED_BlowBack_Chest" if you want to remove it.

Blocks: All new blocks for blunt and polearm.
* Less dramatized left and right blocks for bladed weapons.
* Thrust block unchanged for all weapons.
* (Blocks were made in accordance to the standard guard stance of weapons.)


Notes---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod should play nicely with other combat animation mods. I know MCA adds some blocks of its own for Katana so place whichever mod under the other to overwrite.

PATCHES---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a patch I made so I could play with the MEGA Kaizo/UWE+ Modpack.

I don't really like the stumbles

@Terminarch - those two additional mods you shared, thanks for that.

Do you use those in addition to this mod, and load them in the load order after I assume?

The stumbles really kill this mod for me. I've seen that 20ft knockback happen from a 4 damage starving bandit hit through heavy armor. It unironically wrecks the balance of the game by making armor pointless since taking any hit disables the character. I'll remove that personally.

I use a different mod which nullifies low damage stumbles entirely because in the base game a 0 damage hit can knockdown as well, so it was a problem before:

I use another mod that removes terrible attacks as skill improves (like MA) which seems to fit well here. Nice to see heavy weapons actually use area attacks! A bit spammy though...
