[Release .pmg/.ani] Floating Book and Giant Wield

[Noonehere]

Edit: Forgot to upload the correct book with the proper texture. It had the wrong one all this time >_>;

-------------------------------------------------------------------
This floating book mod was inspired by another mod that I got back at lemu. It was a mod that changed your wand to a staff and a floating book, so it was possible to have a book and shield out. I also wanted to change all wand related .ani but when I was in the middle of it, I noticed the most stupidest thing ever and I gave up. Instead, the floating book will be attached to the "body" part, just like the old mod.


----------------download v.1.1----------------

Unlike the old mod, mine only replaces the book in your hand (thus no shield). This will change all books that look like the regular book and those special magic-related books. Its colors are also dependent on the book's colors. The book is not upside down either.
I can reupload the old mod if anyone wants. I ended up renaming it when I got it so I don't remember its original name.


-----------------------------------------------
The rest of this are stuff already released. Just adding it here so it can be found easier (through my signature).

Giant 2h Wield for humans

Looks awesome.

Great work as usual.

I love this mod, but isn't that book upside down?

[Noonehere]

The original pmg had it at that orientation and I kept it. It looks upside down but its not.

Also, the bookmark seems to not show up ingame even though the rest of the model of the same part does. (If half of the book was missing we'd notice so it's not the entire part.)

[Noonehere]

That shouldn't happen since the bookmark is part of the book. However, it is a small, short, and paper thin bookmark so it will be often obscured by camera angles and your character. It's also always in a shade of green, which may make it blend in with the ground.
Or send me a picture of how it looks to you, because the bookmark never disappeared on me.

Woops. Just rename the book into the composite shield pmg.

Wakizashi is one handed so you should be getting the 1h sword animations anyways? Unless you mean using 1h sword animations when you have a shield?
Look at this guide
1. Find your desired .ani with MabiUnpack, extract it somewhere (like a folder to keep everything organized) [Example: Your 1h sword animations]
2. Find the name of the other ani you wish to replace [Example: Sword and shield]
3. Rename your desired .ani from step 1 to the .ani you found in step 2 [Example: rhand_a05 -> tequip_c25.ani]
4. Go to your Mabinogi folder (not the one in My Documents). If you know where the .ani should be placed, skip 4a and 4b
4a. Assuming you have no folders, In your root folder, first create a "data" folder, but since you're modding, you probably do have it. Inside, create folders after folders till your end path matches the location of your wanted .ani. It should also match the number of folders you opened in MabiUnpack [Example: data/gfx/char/human/anim/tool/tequip_c]
4b. If you can't find your path, look at the bottom of the guide
5. Put the Step 3 .ani in the folder of where that .ani should be
6. Use a patcher/datapacker and modify.
7. Restart mabi
