Nick - Francis' Rifle Anims [EXPERIMENTAL]

This is an experiment on adding Francis' unique rifle animations onto another Survivor. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done.

So as the title and images suggest, this mod gives Nick Francis' unique rifle animations. Any animation that was something that only Francis had is now given to Nick, and I'm being redundant because of the key word, "unique." Nick will still have some of his own rifle animations, as Francis didn't replace all rifle anims. Those that are not replaced are mainly the calm (weapon's lowered) and injured animations.

This is a model mod. This will conflict with other model mods. The only reason it's a model mod is because I'm having some crashing issues when making this an animation mod, both regular and xdR. For some reason, switching to or from the rifle with any melee weapon would instantly crash. This bug does not happen when the animations are placed inside the model, which is why this is a model mod.
However, it is possible that there may be some other issues with this mod as well that I may have missed.

Regardless, this Nick is the same as the Vanilla+ Nick model. He has the same improvements as before. You can still use other animation mods as the included anims here will override anything else.

The current method of implementing Francis' rifle animations are not good. If you decompiled Francis' model and recompiled it, his aim matrix anims will be bad. Looking to the sides would cause the legs to move towards the opposite direction, while the upper-portion of the body wouldn't even turn all the way. The Starter Kit files for Francis are outdated and are buggy themselves - the crouching animation is just totally broken if compiled.
The only way to implement this would be to use the running rifle animation's aim matrix. It's the only matrix batch that does not break, but it's not perfect for all the other animations.
