With Esk Organizer
Olganix said to me while ago "
Hi SSB SK007.

Ok first, S17 don't have tail, is allright ? So s17.ean don't have animations for Tails.

To be simple, what you have to do is :
-So first you have to add tails bones on s17.ean , and may be on s17.esk.
-copy tails animations from another ean file, like GK4.ean.

I will try to do with you the commands, but It's a long time I didn't do that.

For the first step, you need another tools : eskorganizer.
because of the name (eskOrganizer vs eanOrganizer) Val may be forget to talk about it.


Load D:\Tests\DragonBall_Xenoverse\CriPakTools\CriPakTools\data\chara\S17\Test_S17\S17.ean
Load D:\Tests\DragonBall_Xenoverse\CriPakTools\CriPakTools\data\chara\GK4\GK4.ean

GetBoneList 1 true


So tail are index 120 to 129, but as you have a recursive option, we only need the index 120.
With "GetBoneList 0 true", we could see, we have to paste on b_C_Pelvis (index 2) to add on the rigth place.


Copy 1 120 true
Paste 0 2 true true
CalculTransformMatrixFromSkinningMatrix 0 -1

the true are for "Copy animation (when it's a ean)", and "match animations durations", that for having the same duration has other bones.
"CalculTransformMatrixFromSkinningMatrix" is a command about a internal problem between relative and absolute transformations.

So if you use "GetBoneList 0 true", you will see you have Tail's bones on the right place. but also you have animation on it.
so you just have to Save

Save 0 D:\Tests\DragonBall_Xenoverse\CriPakTools\CriPakTools\data\chara\S17\Test_S17\S17_modified.ean


Now, if you want to use s17.esk , you have to do all the same on this file (use ".esk" instead of ".ean").
(I noticed there is a trouble this s17.esk, when I try "GetBoneList 0 true" just after loading, but I don't have all bone, there is a bug on my soft may be. So for now I just use GK4.esk, the time to find why s17.esk not working. but the description work for s17.ean)

now, you just have to test it into Xenoviewer, and game.
Note : s17 don't have a mesh with tails, so, in xenoviewer, you could use the GK4_000_Pants.emd to see if it's work.

for the game you have to modify file of character (I don't know well this part) or modify s17 meshes on blender."

Hey ssb SK007, I tried the method you detailed above but it didn't work I did that method and changed the CMS so that they use the fighting style that I added the tail to, but the attack animations are all screwed up. Any other suggestions?
