to be fair, I've tried composite bonemerge tool (a few weeks before this addon dropped), and I wouldn't say that ABT is a worse version, quite the opposite as a matter of fact, plus add on the fact that this addon is save & dupe compatible and it's a no brainer which one is better

composite bonemerge is garbage compared to this wym

Worse? i have to disagree with ya on this one sir. this tool is much less complicated to deal with compared to Composite Bonemerge Tool
(No offense to the creator who made the Composite bonemerge tool, i'm just stating why i think this tool is less complicated to use for me)

I've discovered two issues when i was using the Composite Bonemerge Tool for the first time:

1: Sometimes the duplicator tool will spawn the dupe without the item that was bonemerged to it, meaning you have to do the position and scaling all over again if this happens. this issue can be frustrating for some people.

2: Unlike ABT, Composite Bonemerge Tool ONLY allows you to scale the whole model, and no option to have a seperate Z, X or Y Scaling setting.

And last of all, i don't really think the creator of the Composite Bonemerge Tool have a problem with this addon existing, making a helpful tool isn't only limited to one workshop creator.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

idk how composite even works so

Thanks boys. Gotta switch bonemergers real quick.

bruh

advanced bonemerge sucks. It causes many lags and problems

I'm fully aware of the Lag issue with this mod, but its more noticable if you have plenty of characters/models with attachments on the screen.

Don't know if the creator is able ot fix this due to the engine limitations. Source is an old engine after all, and LUA isn't the easiest thing to deal with as far as i know.

But i'll still stick to this rather than Composite Bone Tool, due to its not as limited and somewhat less buggy in comparison to the Composite Bone tool. its really up to you which tool you pefer.

Anyways, have a Nice Day/Evening.

The ratio check with composite is crazy though

Recently found out that by using Composite Bone Tool combined with Advanced Bone Tool, you can have jigglebones work with Advanced Bone Tool merged models.

Composite Bone Tool doesn't freeze jigglebones when bonemerging, so you can Composite Bonemerge the model you want to a proxy model like a Combine Soldier then Advanced Bonemerge the proxy onto the target model.
