Hey James I included these animations in a pack for a cleaner addon list and less addon loading time, hope you don't mind. Credits in the description too!

Any update on the autoshotgun versions?
stack_12345 5 May @ 10:25pm 
funny enough, i saw bill aim his shotgun like this on console. around the time the dlc came out. i cant remember if it was before or after they gave zoey her original animations

@SwallowATK, you know what- I'll consider that. I'll try to upload the working ones around Friday, not unless you guys are fine bearing with minor problems with the walking animation for Coach and Ellis
SwallowATK 28 Apr @ 2:47pm 
That's a shame - you ever considered releasing the ones that worked?
Captain Jameson  [author] 27 Apr @ 7:09am 
@SwallowATK oh hey its been a while since I worked on these mods. They partially worked but I stopped working on it since I felt burnt out from modding. There's some issues with a few animations, specifically the walking one for Ellis and Coach

Did you ever get around to the autoshotgun version?
Captain Jameson  [author] 12 Jul, 2024 @ 12:02am 
@Military Grade Maggot no worries, I also wanted to do that anyway lol.

I made one already but I just haven't released it yet since I was originally planning to release it as a pack with the other survivors, but the problem is it doesnt work properly for Coach, and Ellis.

Perhaps I could just release the one for Bill's animation set in the meantime

I apologize for asking, but could you make a version for auto shotguns, in the future? Thanks.
Captain Jameson  [author] 9 Jun, 2023 @ 2:19am 
@SHOBEx93 I could consider to do that sometime, but take my word for it that it is a LOT to digest, you'll probably run into a lot of compile errors just as I did if you're gonna start out with xdR animation swaps.

If you'd like to, you could decompile my addon and try to reverse engineer it first. Thats how I started out.
SHOBEx93 30 May, 2023 @ 1:25am 
Would you consider making a tutorial video on how you swap the animations?
I'd like to learn to attempt myself, thanks.
OwO 19 May, 2023 @ 4:41pm 
out of curiosity
are you planning to do this with other survivors too? by that i mean, changing some stance animations to look less janky and weird
Captain Jameson  [author] 12 May, 2023 @ 3:41am 
@kanadian yeah thats from the animation already, thanks for verifying!
kanadianborn 12 May, 2023 @ 3:33am 
so far it looks like it is fixed the issue i rly see still is that the character holds the shotgun close to there face when walking but im aware that might be an issue with the animation itself rather then the way it is set up, other then that good job
kanadianborn 12 May, 2023 @ 3:26am 
will do ill send a comment if it is fixed
Captain Jameson  [author] 12 May, 2023 @ 3:04am 
@kanadianborn I added aim Matrices now to address the issues you mentioned. Kindly confirm if the animations have been fixed too.

Thanks for letting me know about the animation issues!
Captain Jameson  [author] 10 May, 2023 @ 11:54pm 
@kanadianborn oh yeah I did notice that too, probably because I didnt add any aimmatrices, its very minor but I'll see if I can do something about it
kanadianborn 10 May, 2023 @ 1:52pm 
good mod but when walking both while standing and while crouching the animation does not aim up or down but aims forward.

Thank you @Yujun! :winter2019happydog:

Oh yeah of course! Liked and favorited!

Hey again, if you like what I did here don't forget to rate up, it would help a lot :steamthis:
K 6 May, 2023 @ 1:30pm 
Love this
Captain Jameson  [author] 5 May, 2023 @ 11:54pm 
Okay so I double checked the Default Bill with Beta Outfit mod, and turns out I believe I personally edited it so that it wouldn't conflict with the head textures. If you guys know how to edit vpks, you could do it yourselves too. All you need to do is delete the head vmt and vtf files then repack it again.
Captain Jameson  [author] 5 May, 2023 @ 11:40pm 
Hi everyone, I appreciate the kind words from you all!

@Tai Hoshino @Mari3z I plan on doing the same for the other characters sometime, tho just not immediately. Also yes @Tai, I'm also the mod author of Better Accuracy Pistols, Leon Voice Packs for Nick and Thankful Survivors!

Anyway, since many of you are asking what Bill mods I'm using here, I'll also include the links in the description later for future reference.

The texture for his face though is Cuba's Young Bill which you can find here: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2348360064&searchtext=Young+Bill

As for the Outfit I used this mod (I cant remember if I made personal edits though):

:) need bill mod in picture
Mari3tes 5 May, 2023 @ 4:45pm 
i wish the mod will be expanded to all survivors. It just looks that good
HyperWeave 5 May, 2023 @ 1:39pm 
Will other Survivors (Except Coach and Francis) have the same treatment too just from a separate add-on as well? Not to be demanding of course.

Also I just realize you were the same creator who made the Better Accuracy Pistols. W mod for that.
Saint Pepsi 5 May, 2023 @ 1:08pm 
what's that model you used for bill? i kinda like it
(^^^) Xeno 5 May, 2023 @ 9:58am 
I'm a little irritated about the survivor default animations; some of them won't put the buttstock on their shoulder, which is why they put it there to control the force of the firearm being fired.
Captain Jameson  [author] 5 May, 2023 @ 9:03am 
@Freddy thanks! Its been years since I last modded L4D2 and this is the first time I made an xdReanims mod. Glad to know you like it!
Freddy The Flamingo 5 May, 2023 @ 6:36am 
And well I am sure that I'm impressed with your great xdR Workshop Item, great work
