True Crouching

Description
I'll update when B42 stable version is released.


While sneaking, crouching animations will be played instead of sneaking animations.
In other words, replaces sneaking animations with crouching animations.

Includes crouched idle, walking, running, turning and SHOOTING.

This mod will very slightly reduce your movement speed while sneaking. This is vanilla behavior.

Has a sub mod named "True Crouching - Shooting Only".
This will enable only the crouched shooting animations. It won't change sneaking animations.
Enable only ONE of the mods.

Why this mod?
I don't like the way the character looks while sneaking. I always wanted the sneak key to function as a crouch key so I could roleplay(?).
For example, now I can stand on the edge of a roof, crouch, and plan my next move in a realistic looking way.

How does it work?
Does not add/replace actual animation files, mostly. I added animations only for crouched shooting.
There are two base sneaking stances in the game: Sneak and LowSneak. LowSneak is the crouching animation we all know from every other game.
Normally, this animation is played only when the character is sneaking next to a wall.
I just changed a few lines in some files so that the game plays animations of LowSneak instead of Sneak whether the character is next to a wall or not.

To do
(maybe...)
  • Prevent crouching while fractured(and/or burnt?)
    (the game allows LowSneak while fractured/burnt in vanilla)
  • Add buff to hit chance when crouched
  • Swapping weapons while crouched and aiming a weapon shouldn't transitions to standing
  • Block aim ready stance while crouch aiming with melee if there are no zombies in range so the char doesn't stand up

Notes
  • Conflicts with:
    • Arsenal GunFighter (Compatibility addon here)
    • Real Full Auto (Weapons will use their default fire rate while shooting crouched)
    • Katana Stance (Character will not crouch when idle while holding a katana)
    • Braven's Nail Guns (Nailguns' fire rate will be reduced while shooting crouched)
  • Safe to add/remove mid-save.
  • Works in multiplayer.
  • Feedback/Suggestions are welcome.

Recommended mods
True Crawl - Adds a prone stance to the game!
                     You can crawl everywhere and shoot while prone.

My third mod. Learned a little PZ animation.
It took a few hours to figure out how to do it. Then I implemented crouched shooting which really wore me out :/

@CarsonNuts - The animation files were changed and could continue to do so. Need to figure out what to modify again.
Also work irl is thick, I don't have the time. But I don't want to give up the mod and will update it eventually.
As for someone else doing it, I can't stop them if they did but as I said, I don't want to give it up.

++ Update to Build 42

dead mod. 42 stable is potentially years away, we need someone to take over development

people like Legion are insufferable losers irl
the whole point of modding is to make things better for many people
not to sit on small fixes and act like you have a patent

the only reason I want it is the cool sit, thanks for the tip :whiteward:

@Squigee @Legion If you don't include the Lua, this mod would be trivial to recreate from scratch by just replacing the Sneak animation with the LowSneak one in the player sneaking XML files. Like... copy the relevant animset XML files, replace (Bob_(?!Idle)\w+)Sneak with \1LowSneak in all of them, and that should basically be it. It won't include crouched shooting but I think not taking the modder's original animations is a reasonable price to pay for doing partial B42 compat yourself.

Then you'll wait literal years, Squig. MA said they would update when B42 is stable, so that is that. No expressed permission was given for anyone to do anything else in regards to this mod.
