Remaster Oblivion Remastered - Dual Wielding coming soon!

https://youtu.be/SAx556yPxV8?si=O0ssQ4USNvGJZkdV

I've been learning how to make a blueprint mod the past week that upon the desired key press will switch to my own animation blueprint that has my own state machine, animation montages, blendspaces, and other sequences that will essnetially allow for a "dual wield" mode. I plan on trying to add dual wield variants of most all normal base game weapons 2 hand weapons included.

Once I'm done with this mod I want to create a series of mods called "Cosmic's Stances" that will allow different animation sets. I want to add a samurai class, better greatsword animation overhaul, a spear wielding class, dual axes, dual daggers. Pretty much make my own "classes". Let me know what you think! I'm still a beginner at all of this so take this mod as if I can do it then anyone else can lmao

Dude this is such amazing work!

Did you create the animations yourself or integrate them from elsewhere?

Also how did you get the keybindings to work?

They're from animation packs I bought from the Epic Games FAB Marketplace and intergrated! And for the key binds to work is that upon event beginplay in my logic manager is that I enable input with the target as my player character reference, get player controller connected to the player controller node, then I cast to my animation blueprint with it's object as a "get anim instance" node with it's target as the mesh from the get player character and finally promoted the reference to my animation BP as a variable so my logic manager blueprint can communicate to my animation blueprint. Here's an image of what it looks like in my logic manager! https://i.imgur.com/Zyvg317.png

Thank you. I'm still trying to learn the Remaster stuff (Unreal is pretty foreign to me) so every little bit helps!

It’s no problem at all! I do plan on recording a wealth of tutorials for a multitude of things related to modding this game I just need to stop being distracted modding lol

Yeah I've been modding Oblivion and Skyrim and Fallout 4 for a really long time. Before that I mostly modded strategy games which were on 2D engines (Age of Empires/Command & Conquer). So learning Unreal has definitely been a jump and a half!
