Pandora Human and Creature Behavior Engine v0.5.0-beta

Features:

- Compared to Nemesis, engine updates are up to 10 times faster and patching is 2-4 times faster.

Speed will vary depending on PC specs, these are the benchmarked times on my R5 5600X:

With 11 patches including Precision, TDM, MCO, PIE, BOS, BOC, SBE, with 10 runs:

Update Time (Average: 1.06 seconds)

Patch Time (Average: 6.14 seconds)

- Merges all duplicate behavior events and variables.

- Supports all humanoid behaviors.

- Supports all vanilla base creature behaviors (experimental).

- Supports all DLC added creature behavior (creatures from Dawnguard and other DLC like Vampire Brutes)

- Supports motion data (supports mods that add AMR-animations like MCO, DMCO)

- Selective patching (excludes generation of behavior files that are untouched by mods to save time and disk space)

- Backwards compatible with Nemesis patches.

- Support for patching mod-added behavior files

- Support for XPMSE

- Support for paired animations and race attack data.

- Progress bar + animation counter.

- Descriptive logging and xml source files for easier debugging and troubleshooting.

- Deletes old output automatically after each launch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- FNIS Animlist support; to use poser and sex animation packs with FNIS animlist please use this tool to convert to compatible patch:
https://github.com/Monitor144hz/AnimlistTransitionTool

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Install:

Requires .NET Desktop Runtime v6.0+

1. Install through your mod manager and make sure it is active.

1.5 If you are using MO2 add the exe as an executable to be run through the manager.

2. Run the engine. MO2 users should run from within MO2 as an added exe.

3. Add an output folder path.

MO2 users should point this to an empty active mod folder (recommended) or to overwrite path (do not point to virtual data folder otherwise issues will arise).

Vortex users should also point to a mod output folder. 


Output folder path is saved to Config/Settings.txt after first launch. Edit the OutputFolderPath setting to change output path afterwards.

Optional: keep Nemesis Engine active to use the patches it comes with.

Usage:

1. Tick mod patches for the ones you want active.

2. Update engine.

3. Run engine and wait for completion.

4. Done!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Future Plans:

- Better animlist system; add advanced animation behavior with easy text file formats

- I may expand this to Fallout 4 behavior in the far future.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bugs and Troubleshooting:

-This is a beta build; bugs are not uncommon.

- This is an external tool so it can never brick or damage your game or modlist. If you have problems simply delete the output.

- Please please please report your bugs to me in either PM or reaching out in the Skyrim Guild discord; every contribution helps with development.

Pandora Human and Creature Behavior Engine v0.5.0-beta

Comments

... I'm in Skyrim VR! and I'm very interested in having Creature Sex Animations (in addition to human) in my game ... that's why I have to use that trick to make FNIS and Nemesis work together ... now, I ask you: is it possible that your mod Pandora Behavior Engine - replace the 2 modes (FINIS & Nemesis) so that I have sexual animations with Creatures, but also functional humans? 1) ... I use MO2 and I didn't really understand what you mean by: Add an output folder path (MO2 users should point this to an empty active mod folder (recommended) or to overwrite path (do not point to virtual data folder otherwise issues will arise)....so I don't install in MO2's virtual mods folder?...where else do I have to add -output folder? 2) to run Pandora: do I add an exe to the dropdown list on the right side of MO2 (just like FNIS or Nemesis)?

Oprea George

hello, thanks for your interest in this mod but please refrain from using this version until I can post out an updated version

Monitor144hz

When trying to install this in MO2, it's asking me to set a data directory and I don't know what to do from there

Bryce Reaveley

its an old one so I don't recommend it right now

Monitor144hz

Oh im trying this forsure

Tomato (Dylan)

Thanks 

Can't use it in sexlab?

asa ki

seems to be incompatible with adri inquisitor error pops up

Infinity

Are there any plans to expand the FNIS converter tool to also support the `s` flag (sequenced)? There's quite a lot of stuff out there that used that flag.

someusernameiguess

can it tell me how many animations im using too?

jeefrey jonas

Think some of ADRIs stuff is not compatible? I get the same thing w. Inquisitor

praisetheford

Hey, yeah, it's not optimized for mid to low end cpus because all the exports happen all at once. The next patch should prevent this by staggering the exports so that there's no lockup

Monitor144hz

Is anyone else receiving an error when checking the box for Attack Behavior Revamp saying the patch cannot be read? Also, I don’t know how to run the program for FNIS animation.txt files. Anyone have a short walkthrough?

CW

For me it works great and engine update is very fast. However updating behaviors takes longer than Nemesis, like 45 seconds. Could be my CPU sucks, but still throwing it out there in case it's a bug. Basically the step that says "Querying Threads" freezes up super long

install as a mod and make sure the executable and all files are in the mods root folder

Trent Quach

installed just like the instructions but when the window pop ups its blank and nothinng to choose,on mo2

Infinity

Hello, I have found the fix and will be including it in the next version. It appears for users of XPMSE the blending on the arms needs the bone maps to be readjusted

Monitor144hz

Not sure how serious you are about expanding this to fallout, but we need all the love we can get over here! Fingers are crossed

SSULL

I'm not blaming you or being angry or anything it's just something you could try to watch out for future versions. Just add some test to see if the user picked wrong folder like I did to throw error instead of deleting.

Jurass007

well this is not really my fault, if engine doesn't delete old output it will mix with previous output and cause all kinds of bugs. The engine deletes whatever meshes folder is in the output path, which is why I always recommend pointing it to a dedicated mod folder so it only deletes its own output

Monitor144hz

Hello. I have run this tool and it seems that the player cannot move while defending.

nuioenviu

I have no idea how I've managed to do this but I got error while generating behavior and Pandora printed "deleting previous output" or something like that. But it deleted my entire data folder so that may be something you could prevent form happening :DD I know that it's probably my fault cuz I messed up selecting the output folder but behavior engine nuking entire data folder is a bit surprising even if the user is an idiot :DD

Jurass007

looking into it, thanks

Monitor144hz

Hello author, Pandora seems to be incompatible with impactful block, when I select the patch of impactful block, I will get CTD after entering the game. Edit:Sorry, it was my fault, in my MO2 list, there are two different versions of Impactful Block, after I delete the old version, the game works fine, this is my negligence. Very sorry about that.

GJ-biu-ba

make sure the exe is in the root folder not inside another folder

Acid

did u call it pandora because you're opening pandora's box by supporting creatures?

Petra Pox

I can't see any patch box for the engine at all also where am I supposed to put the output because I have it set to desktop? Thank you

Nathanael

Pose animations cannot be played because they use the old FNIS format. Convert with the converter tool I linked. Also keep in mind too many of these converted anims will make the current engine output crash because it does not know how to assign large IDs without conflict (yet)

Monitor144hz

Seems like this tool cannot find any pose animation that I've installed. Patched behaviors for humanoid NPC works fine but those pose animation cannot be played in game. As for creatures, it keeps warning me about missing QuadrupedBehavior.hkx for each four legged creatures like sabrecats and skeevers. Do I have to be worried about this?

tridbee

I know the word game changer gets thrown around alot and too often but in this instance it clearly applies, keep up the good work.

Darrudejameson

I feel like I know what you're talking about and my answer is that it's not really up for me to decide...

Monitor144hz

So...creature animations...they back?

Shane Whitaker

Amazing
