Project Impact 2.72 and ABR 6.5 Update Boss AI and Regular AI distinction

Updates to Impact's Balance system, Cleaned most of the folders for Impact. There's a better system to distinguish Boss AI and Regular NPC AI,

Why this is the best method currently is all conditions are implemented through DAR, this means we can add whoever we want and Future Quest modders and Follower Modder's bosses can be added to the system by simply typing in their form IDs.

Always wanted to have action movie type fights where the ...

Inquisitor V4 Behaviors

The Behavior update that changes Inquisitor to a framework is here!

Fully becoming a magic framework instead of having hardcoded spell hitframes/movement data/number of movesets.

Most of my animations have been carried over of course so it's usable out of the box.
Some new anims such as the staff anims for the right hand are included

To have a clearer idea on what it can do, Once you get this mod, Out of the box if you have your stances mod installed, switching stances ...

Quick Attack - Attack on Draw and Skip Unsheathe Behaviors

First off, Credits to SlimTheAlien for the idea, during one of our behavior tutorials, this was pitched and he sat through the whole process!

Also, I REALLY wanted to use the regular attack buttons for this. It makes a lot of sense and is really just convenient but; several attempts and I can't seem to make it work with those buttons. 

There seems to be a hardcoded condition for these buttons to send Draw behaviors instead...

Combos + Instant Directional Switch + FP Underwater Combat - FP Directional Attack Update 1.2

Get the Best of Both Features from Elder Scrolls Deliverance and the Latest Directional Attack Framework I recently Created.

I got feedback from a lot of users that didn't want to switch to the directional Attack System and Preferred FP Revo and Elder Scrolls Deliverance because of the Lack of follow up combos afterwards or just movesets in General.

Now after combining the main features of the two projects; It brings several dif...

Directional Block update

Just a Minor Update from my Directional Block .  Previously, I thought with regards to blocking; 4 directions were enough, because of the diversity of the attacks
coming and The Precision mod being crazy accurate, blocking had to have as much similarity with attacks.

It's also much more dependable especially for Precision users since you don't have to use this with the Directional Attack framework, and you can use this with other mods like MCO, ABR and SkySA.

Directional Attack Ecosystem

This may take a little longer than usual since it's a whole ecosystem of mods for a specific type of combat similar to bannerlord/Mordhau.

So apologies for taking a bit, been busy the past few weeks. My focus was on Wanderer's Heart Ship Movements which is the Latest Ship Mod on Nexus if you didn't know, as well as helping out Duffb with DBC.

A lot of plans still in motion. But one of the things that I really wa...

Sprint Swim, Impactful Blocking 1.6 - Timed Block Behaviors; Upcoming Mods Progress: Stealth Kills and Stealth Movement Overhaul

Sprint Swimming: A requested Mod that enables faster swimming, Honestly before someone mentioned it to me I didn't know this wasn't even a thing in game. It's always tricky to mess with vanilla locomotion but here we are. Only requires Nemesis.

Project Impact 2.68 Update - Balance, Punishment, Boss Behaviors

  The aim of this update is to completely change the approach and make sure new elements like dodge, timed block, the new recovery system become essential to combat.

 As much as I tried to incorporate new changes in the last update to make sure NPCs have queues to block/dodge, You can still just spam the attack button and whatever the npc does he gets staggered.

  In a way, it needed fairness, make sure a reckless approach becomes punished and not payi...

ABR 6.48 - More charge attack functionality

A minor update to Make the 2nd Stage of the charge attacks more useful. The bloodskal blade's effects would not work on any of ABR's edits but this update restores that functionality to ABR's features.

No scripts used here and it's purely behavior based. When using the bloodskal blade or any modded weapon with the same enchantment, the regular charged directional attacks now emit that blast;  but if you hold it longer, and when t...

Upcoming Impactful Blocking Feature - 360 Blocking, DBC Behavior Update: NPC movement and attack animation speed adjustment, ABR 6.47 Heavy-Light Attack Combo Adjustment; Project Impact Balance Update

So, Quite a few updates today;

So first: DBC will have a few behavioral Changes, Duff will Publish it soon when he's ready.
Currently, the combat feels like a moshpit, with this one,  NPCs default movement mode will be walking, but that doesn't mean they won't charge/roll, they will still do fast/long ranged melee attacks based on the DBC code logic. Archers will also be less cowardly and have slower walking when knocking. As for their attack ...

Standalone Underwater Combat for SkySA and Vanilla users

Hey guys, so I'm aware that there's quite a few that do not use ABR as a combat framework. So I separated underwater combat as a feature for those non-ABR users as well. You can string combos just like in ABR and for those that use DBC and synthesis patcher to enable aggressive swimming NPCs, you can have NPCs fight you underwater too.

NOTE: For those that already have and use ABR this is not necessary as this, ...

Preview on Inquisitor V4

Here's a little preview on what's possible for the next inquisitor update; Since it's both a behavior and magic framework now, You can complement other mod's features because of the possibility of different movesets.

Here, Stances mod is used and you can dynamically change how you launch the projectile if you switch stances.

This is also possible with other types of spells as well as Staffs. Eventually, I'll try and brainstorm with other modders like Duff,Dtry and Distar about ...

Simple Smoother Standing to Crouch Transition

just made a basic mod while taking a short break in between my projects; I like to do little experiments when I'm a bit stuck at something and I figured, may be a few people like this idea.

It basically just smoothens out your standing to crouch state unlike vanilla's instant transition. Both crouch and uncrouch are smoothened out.

I made a distinction between sheathed and unsheathed mode though. I did not make the smooth transitions for weapon/magic drawn because it may be too...

Dialogue Animation Framework Progress Update: Dynamic Idle Cycling Per topics

So before anything; all the animations used on this vid are all on the vanilla game; so if you have issues  like if you think the animations do not look good then your beef is with the game's existing assets. 

Also this will mainly be a framework which uses DAR so animators can make anim packs and you can choose to plug dialogue animation packs for specific actors or for actor types.


The current system from vanilla wasn't as simple as I thought; I always thoug...

ABR 6.4 - Beta testing SKSE implementation + Underwater Combat

File is Available for testing on the Discord Server Specifically the "releases" section. Normally I do testing in private but ABR is a big mod now and implementation of SKSE is a big feature so bigger and more feedback is required

One of the new features I really liked which was the new chainable heavy attack key was too rigid for a lot of people. Also it wasn't available for builds like spellswords. ABR was held back by a lot of things that could have been solved via SKSE,

Creature Behavior Edits - Less annoying attack time and Impact

   This mod supersedes telegraphed creatures 1 or 1.1, since the previous mod wasn't a nemesis patch, therefore has a lot of incompatibilities and sometimes do weird behaviors to some creatures like bears or wolves.

 This mod has none of that since it's now converted to a nemesis patch, and all you need is Nicknack's Ultimate Combat & Creature Compatibility patch for this: 2021-11-19 09:48:57 +0000 UTC View Post

The behaviors will detect when the hitframe is reached and after 13 frames after the hitframe it sends a specific annotation called "loop_atk" a...

Vanguard 2.0 More balance to the NPC bashing, Project Impact 1.3 preview
