Gothic 2: New Balance – New Combat Animation Submod + Descriptions

Hi,I'm adding a new addon for combat animations made by Haart (a collaborator on New Balance). I’ve also placed this file into the PLUGINS FOR COMBAT - ANIMATIONS folder, where you can also find an older addon. I've included a text document in the folder that describes both addons. These text documents explaining plugins and other content will gradually be added to all folders on the New Balance Google Drive to keep things organized and help players understand what’s what — it’ll take some time, though. :)

New Addon and Description: (AB_Anims_2hst3.vdf)

Modified straight strikes in the two-handed weapon moveset at 90% skill level.

I’ve had these animations lying around for ages, and while playing as a two-hander recently, I felt like doing something with them. I’m not an animator, but I’ve started trying to learn a bit about it. Most of the work is already done — I just need to adjust the position of the left hand during swings (it’s incorrectly placed right now). Also, the starting and ending positions of the strikes need tweaking to make the transitions smoother.

But overall, it's been fully playable for a long time.I set the timings roughly to match the speed of side strikes — in some cases they’re the same, in others a frame longer.

Installation: Extract into the Gothic/Data folder.

Both addons along with their descriptions are available on the New Balance Google Drive, or directly here –https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1hyZW2lvnCMXyXAZmGEpriNuzCQ53uXTS
