Creature animations still look choppy (especially the AshZombie). I thought this was because we are only using the first encountered weight for each vertex, not all of them. I have been trying to incorporate all weights for each vertex but the result always is a disaster.

The head and jaw on the ancestor ghost were not moving before because I did not have non-skinned NiTriShapes handled. With my latest commit the head moves and the jaw opens and closes.

P.P.S.: Also, I think jhooks has a fix for one animation related record in his branch. Cherry pick too?

Yes, check the commit "Fixed part list adding"

Hell Yes!!!!!! I fixed the crash, this is pretty major progress (I spent many many hours trying to figure out what was wrong). Apparently if one submesh contains vertexBoneAssignments, all must contain vertexBoneAssignments. In nifs though, every NiTriShape does not contain a skin (where vertex assi...

I have been trying to fix a crash that happens with a lot of creatures when the skeleton is linked. I have observed this happening in Kwama queen.nif and ancestorghost.nif, I am sure it also happens in many other creatures. In Kwama Queens I have determine this crash is associated with Tri_Antena_L,...
